The post Systemically corrupt capitalism first appeared on Economic Reform Australia.You can understand why these people would believe they can get away with this level of lying. Look at Donald Trump? He has lied about virtually everything in his life and he’s beloved by most of the Republican party. Freshman Republican Rep. Andy Ogles (TN) says he’s a trained economist, but in reality, he only took one community college course on the subject—and he got a C, a transcript obtained by NewsChannel 5 in Nashville revealed. Ogles’ congressional bio says he graduated from Middle Tennessee State University, “where he studied policy and economics.” However, a resume he used in 2009 said he got a degree in international relations, with no mention of economics. But both claims were false, according to the transcript, which Ogles had tried to keep sealed. Ogles actually majored in liberal studies. The congressman also enrolled in classes titled U.S. Presidency, Problems in Government, Political Theory and National Security Policy—failing all of them twice, once in 1995 and again in 1998. It took Ogles 17 years to attain his degree, graduating in 2007 with a 2.4 GPA, NewsChannel 5 reported.

Jon Schwarz gives us a reminder of how ungrateful those subjugated by white people are. They just don’t know how good they have it: WEDNESDAY’S PECULIAR YOUTUBE remarks by “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams about Black Americans being a “hate group” have certainly received a lot of attention. Hundreds of newspapers across the U.S. have now dropped Adams’s strip. What’s gotten almost no notice, however, is how Adams went on at length about his efforts to be “helpful to Black America.” But my ears perked up when I heard this, since the most berserk racial ultraviolence in U.S. history has always been accompanied by this kind of rhetoric from white Americans — i.e., we’ve done our best to help others, only for them to turn around and loathe us rather than respond with the gratitude we deserve for our openhearted kindness.
It is over ten years since I allowed a guest post on this blog. This is because I never listen to anybody except myself. That way I avoid hearing anything disagreeable. (Those last two sentences are a joke, deliberately in the style of Jane Austen. Of course it ruins the joke to explain it, but […]

Once the global leader in telecommunication systems and the Internet, over the past two decades, the United States has fallen behind global competitors, including China, in mobile-communication infrastructure—specifically 5G and Internet of Things (IoT). This national failure, with the socioeconomic and geopolitical tensions that it creates, is not due to a lack of US government investment in the knowledge required for the mobility revolution. Nor is it because of a dearth of domestic demand for the equipment, devices, and applications that can make use of this infrastructure. Rather, the problem is the dereliction of key US-based business corporations to take the lead in making the investments in organizational learning required to generate cutting-edge communication-infrastructure products.

The emergence of “New Economic Order” would transform the way logistics and transport in global market is being carried out. The North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) member countries must contribute effectively for the overall development of corridor i.e., the improvement of inland waterways, security of container and general cargo terminals in Caspian ports, the modernization of border crossing points and the construction of logistics hubs and roadside service facilities, writes Muhammad Athar Javed, founder, CEO of Pakistan House, especially for the 12th Valdai Club Middle East conference.
The big news now is that the Global South/East are coming online economically as decolonization proceeds and is now picking up speed. Until recently, "the world economy" largely meant that of the Global North/East, with the Global South being relegated to colonial status.
Maybe economic warfare is not all that it was cracked up to be. Or maybe not. Blowback from it is rocking the NATO alliance as NATO countries buckle economically. The only NATO country profiting from the crisis is the US and other NATO countries view this as at their expense, although, being vassal states, they can only whine about it.
What went wrong? The world economy is a system and the US failed to grasp Russia's place in the system and also the state of the system itself. As a result, assumptions turned out to be wildly wrong since they were not reality-based but rather figments of fantasy.
Thus far, this has turned out to be a monumental strategic blunder.
The overall result is biasing the world system against the Global North/West in the Global South/East much to Western consternation as its former dominance fades markedly. The information war on the part of the West has failed in the Global South/East as China and India support Russia economically and Russia supports them with resources.
