The Three DDD'S and the West
The three ddd’s destroying Western civilization
The West has been dominant for the last 200 years..Imperialism and Colonialism destroyed other civilizations..they were integrated into the Colonial pattern of trade..of exploitation of resources and people in these regions..people of colour have been subjected to every kind of brutality you can imagine
The West believes in respect for Democracy and human rights ..which it did not practice when it was brutally colonizing most of the world..once they achieved an industrial base and prosperity...they then started promoting Democracy and human rights.
Democracy and Human rights are being used to interfere in the affairs of these countries...along with a rigged trading and financial system...the old colonial pattern of trade remains with us..however the world is changing...as I write this article Genocide in real time is taking place in the Gaza strip...backed by the US with tacit support of Europe.
There is also a proxy war in the Ukraine between the US and Russia..with tacit support of Europe...and a hybrid economic and financial war between the US and China. How ever the world is changing here is my reasoning:-
The West suffers from three fundamental forces it has little or no control over..what i call the three ddd’s
(1)Death Demography..the average age of a European is over 40 years old...even the land of the free and brave the US it is approaching 40 years old..with death rates exceeding births in many rich countries...the dilemma is where are the future workers to pay for pensions and welfare coming from
For many countries immigration is being used...but this creates a problem convincing that mass migration is good for the country..there may be a good economic argument..but socially such policies creates a political backlash..citizens voting for anti immigrant parties as has happened in Germany..Holland and Hungry. In little Old England over 750,000 people entered the UK..in one year..legally or illegally..these are unprecedented numbers..the country is already struggling with the existing numbers..the Scheme to deport illegals to Rwanda has run into legal problems
Little old England has used the argument we need migrants to pay for our pensions...the pension scheme is the biggest Ponzi scheme in the UK...people working today pay for the pensions of those retired..problem is migrants also grow old..by this rational the country simply carry on importing more and more people..you do however reach a point where the services we need for all our citizens will become overwhelmed..the carrying capacity of the UK is already exceeded..longer waiting times to see the Doctor..the healthcare system barely coping..housing shortage..congestion on the roads
De-industrialization...When China opened its economy ..many Western business located manufacturing their to access the cheap labour. Good quality manufacturing jobs are disappearing only to be replaced with low paying service sector jobs..the rational was that low paid..low skilled jobs would move abroad..and the rich countries would have the high skilled..high paying jobs
This is not what has happened..the net result is the middle class has suffered the most.little old England is a classic example..with the industrial base reduced to between 10-14%..with arms industry the main industry..one in ten people work directly or indirectly for the Arms industry
The country turns out top quality Science graduates with low job prospects..many end up working in the City of London financial Centre designing algorithms to scam investors..many of our skilled and educated now live and work abroad..it is estimated around 5 million British people live and work abroad..the highest number of any country..many of our young Doctors are working in Australia.
The US is trying to get industry back by ‘near shoring’..by offering soft loans..grants and subsidies..this may not work in the long run..as it creates an industry which will not survive without these soft loans..guarantees..grants and subsidies
Debt based Monetary system..The West has a tax and spend system based on increasing amounts of debt...Governments need money for welfare which it is committed to..it pays by taxing people..since there is never enough tax it borrows money by issuing ‘bond’s’...IOU’S give us money now and we will pay you more in the future at maturity
This is fine in principle...but the government simply keeps borrowing more and more money..the national debt simply keeps rising...where a countries debt can end up more than the GDP of the country...this debt incurred to be paid for by future generations..so we have debt transfer from the old to the young.
There comes a point when the money markets decide that a country is no longer ‘good’ for its debt..as happened in Greece then the low borrowing rates suddenly rises causing financial hardship for the citizens..in Greece welfare benefits such as pensions have been reduced..there has been an exodus of young people who see no economic future in their country...which only leads to further decline.
Today Germany the powerhouse of Europe is in trouble..the Ukraine war has exposed its inherent weakness..it relied on an export market..Europe and the rest of the world..cheap oil and gas from Russia..and cheap Eastern European labour..its Banks lent money to European consumers to buy its products like cars in Greece..all three are in decline...as its cost of production rises..it will make its export non-competitive Germany goes..the rest of Europe will follow.
