ELITE LEMONADE 4

From the previous articles, I’ve tried to make the point that our elites are some fickle bastards.  They draft us to expand the empire, then when it becomes too expensive they suddenly decide they don’t need it anymore.  Sorry, all you over half a million dudes rotting in graves and those of you we jailed, we’ve changed our minds.  Once they decided that a compulsory educated population was just the thing to build up an economic empire, warping many generations of minds and impoverishing untold millions with higher property taxes to pay for that, then they decide to sell the factories to overseas companies that employ foreigners.  Sorry, no more employment for you-but by all means take on the equivalent cost of a mortgage to re-train yourself in a job we’ve already outsourced to India.  Suckers.  We’ve locked up people for life for smoking marijuana, shorter sentencing includes a free dose of AIDS for you as a bonus so it might as well be a death sentence, but now it is getting a bit costly to go after every pot smoker and besides we need more taxes so we’ll just nod and wink and semi-legalize it.  And we used to think it was a good idea to make the currency you were forced to use backed by something tangible but now we are just going to destroy the money so our only remaining economic sector, retail, will last long enough to allow our leaders enough time to strip the copper wiring out of the walls prior to setting the house on fire and moving elsewhere.

And so too shall it be with future secessionists.  We will not see a repeat of Lincoln’s Colonial War ( obviously studied by King Leopold for use in the Congo ) in which an Industrial Powerhouse defeated a agricultural nation ( pretty much the definition of colonialism in case you keep wondering why I call the Yankees colonialists ).  Our industrial powerhouse, as unimposing as it is now, is nothing without the 60% imported oil we buy with worthless bonds.  Soon to be back up to 70% as the fracking fields implode.  Ask the British or Germans how easy it is to run an empire on imported oil.  We don’t have the infrastructure or the resources to win another conventional war as we did in 1861 or 1898 ( I believe the date with Spain ), 1917 or 1941, 1951 or ‘61.  Our industrial war model lasted 100 years and that was it.  In the next civil war, as long as the secessionists stick to forth generational warfare until they further erode Federal resources ( along the Viet Cong/North Vietnam model ), the federal government cannot bring its resources or men ( girly men and Girl Power troops as I have difficulty believing the majority of patriotic American troops will stay and fight for too long-most of the officer corps are political pussies, but not the ranks ) to bear as in the past.

Herein lies the wonderfulness of the fighting in the sandbox ( with apologies to those that actually fought and bled, I’m speaking here geopolitically ).  The fighting was never about the oil supply as much as it was about the PetroDollar ( we had much better luck punishing Kaddafi for his flirtation with the gold Dinar ).  Libya and Iraq are not pikers when it comes to oil production, but their far better years are far behind them.  Iraq oil production never justified two wars and twenty-five years of occupation ( Kuwait’s production was worth the one war our allies paid for ), but keeping everybody on the Dollar was.  Without the PetroDollar, we can’t import oil for debt and it is basically as simple as that.  However, as worthy as that goal was, and I know every Volvo driving Birkenstock wearing greasy hair Hippie out there agrees with me even as they plaster a peace sign of the back window because if they didn’t they wouldn’t drive, the long war has drawn down the military as usual.  Manpower and equipment is depleted ( our Treasury was depleted long ago-see the above on the PetroDollar ).  The difference this time is that if our projected timing is right, they won’t ever get a chance to rebuild.

*

Without veering off into that tangent ( see my article a few weeks ago on the projected several years only to industrial civilization crash ), you can see where even with all of our military sent home ( if we even do that-a quick enough imported oil cutback could leave many stranded-if local commanders don’t commandeer planes I could see a “equipment first” policy put into place as a sort of triage ) they would not be as potent of a suppressing force as our Dear Leaders believe.  Being an insurgent would be a very dangerous game.  At first.  But it wouldn’t be all that long before sections of territory are abandoned by the feds.  They are fickle that way, remember?  No amount of resources are too much to implement their will into law, until suddenly the cost benefit analyses changes and then any resources are too much and they conceded defeat on that particular front.  Now, don’t get me wrong, all of the examples given are further influenced by our imperial arch.  At one time, we had resources to spare and so certain projects that never would have been attempted were implemented on the whim of a minor politician ( or with less resistance from the major ones ).  But that doesn’t change the fact that our country has always been run as a business.

One of the principle keys to winning this guerrilla conflict is bankrupting the invader.  Never expect reason or logic to prevail-but if the ledger books don’t balance you can expect swift action.  In most countries,  that isn’t the primary consideration.  But it is with us.  Don’t slaughter Sacred Cows ( their aren’t any anymore ), but go after the God Mammon and you’ll see serious reactions.  American’s elite will be quicker than most to give ground that isn’t profitable.  At first, they will attempt the old game of “incapable of change, resist fiercely”.  Until they change their fickle minds.  This is one of the reasons thinking One World Socialism is the guiding principle behind our leaders is such a serious mistake.  Our leaders are NOT motivated by ideology.  Money is their only source of concern.  Act accordingly.
