THE TARIFF WEALTH-TRANSFER SCAM

      This weekend the Controlled Opposition was fawning over the imposition of further tariffs, this time against European auto-makers. The Billionaire Class, who've outsourced our entire industrial base celebrated the move, with the usual cadre of paid pundits posing as economic experts squawking like a bunch of Liberals about how unfair our trade policies are. It's the usual bait-and-switch as far as the rhetoric goes: sell out to Globalist enterprises then play the Victim Card and blame everyone else.

    The True Believers swallow all of this; and in true Alpha facts-don't-care-about-your-feelings fashion, the White House issued a statement to the effect that they don't care if already over-inflated auto prices go up; it will force us all to buy American. Let's see if we can sort this out a bit further: first, let's examine the purpose of Protectionist Trade Policies.

    Protectionism and Tariffs are only economically viable policy when countries produce a surplus of certain goods for export. If, for example, a country is producing more cars than it can sell domestically, it makes sense to restrict imports that would undermine an industry that's bringing in revenue by selling abroad. We used to do that in the US when we still manufactured automobiles in a major way. There was a huge backlash in the 1970s when we lifted import quotas against Japanese vehicles---in fact, that was the beginning of the end for our auto industry. The Midwestern Rust Belt is a testimony to Neocon economics to this very day.

    If, on the other hand, we have an economy like we have where a few interlocking Boards of Directors dominating the economic landscape, then it follows that Protectionist policies will only strengthen their monopolistic control over it. Forget all of this baloney about bringing back American manufacturing by limiting consumer choices. An industrial base like we had until just a few decades ago will take years to rebuild. The True Believers have hoodwinked themselves into imagining that an industrial infrastructure magically will appear by the miracle of the Free Market when there is no infrastructure left to build upon. So, with Tariffs, the Corporations which have a foothold here will have a captive market. 

   Let's see if we can think of an example of someone who's built just such a market and will benefit from restricting imports. Someone, for example, who donated to Democrat politicians to get factories built and legislation passed to phase out his competitors, and exemptions from sanctions. Who might an example of such a character be?

    Yes, Tesla certainly would benefit from such restrictions. In the Blue States that Musk donated to for years, legislation has already been passed to phase out gas-powered vehicles. The whole 'Green Energy' approach wasn't popular with Republicans, but...if Musk's electric vehicles are the only affordable options, oh well. Buy American actually translates to Buy Tesla and naturally the True Believers will get over their objections and embrace the New Normal. 

   What about the agricultural tariffs? Well, we saw during the Scamdemic how a certain interested billionaire and his confederates began sweeping up American farmland and imposing synthetic products into the food chain. People weren't buying them, but now we'll be forced to buy American again, meaning that the synthetics will be affordable and natural foodstuffs will not. Who might benefit from that?

    Yes, our old pal, Willy Gates, who held a productive meeting with Trump the day before his inauguration, and whose henchman, Doug Burgum now heads the Department of the Interior. Like Musk, Gates benefitted enormously under the Biden/Harris Junta by promoting 'Green Energy' and fake 'alternative' foods: all subsidized by US taxpayers.

    In other words, the Tariff schemes are nothing but a scam, designed to exacerbate and complete the wealth-transfers begun under the Scamdemic and promoted by Biden and the Republican-controlled Congress during the last four years. The same Billionaire Class running one Government is running the other; all of which is leading up to the Great Reset. Until we stop pretending that the Political Class is anything but a Uniparty operating in the interests of these billionaires, we'll go on to a world of smart cars and synthetic foods by 2030, just as Klaus Schwab and his merry-men desire.
