Need to put the Powell Memo into proper perspective.
Mark Schmitt's article does that.
I would have thought that it would have been more useful to advert to, say, The Council On Foreign Relations, going back much farther, than the 1971 Powell Memo......
Certainly, a more realistic assessment, by business itself, of its own position, in 1970 or so, was, say, Sovereignty At Bay.

RE FACEBOOK BOWS TO PROTESTS HATE SPEECH BURNING BOOKS ETC

My advice to Facebook, re sexist protests,
and numerous others you don't hear about:
It would be best for Facebook to go out of business,
since kowtowing to every interest group,
against Facebook's right to market access,
is inconsistent with free speech.
Siren servers don't discriminate against hate, or against love.
The United States was born in hate sprinkled speech pamphleteering.
That has been a problem for the United States, but it has been there from the beginning, really.

RE BBC JARON LANIER SYMBOLIC ANALYST DREAM WORLD WHO OWNS THE ECONOMY
Re: Sell Your Date To Save The Economy And Your Future
Here is Jaron in the laissez faire, technical expert, symbolic analyst's, dream land:
"If the biggest computers had to pay for information,
they wouldn't cease to exist.
Instead big computers would have to earn their way by providing new kinds of value. Spying and manipulating would no longer be business plans, because the raw materials would no longer be free.
In fact, the owners of the biggest computers would do fine in a world of monetised information, because that would be a world with a growing economy."
Unfortunately, this is all bull.
It has been ' monetized '. It is ' monetized ' in a way.
A monetized web, furthermore, sadly, in spite of what you have been taught, has very little to do with
a ' growing economy ' (Whose economy? Not my economy...),
which is also, sadly, a doubtful concept, at this late stage...
(Where does ' the economy ' grow most?
Answer: China, coincidentally, a great internet hacker, thief and warrior;
just as an aside to Jaron's theses.)
Take, for example, individual bloggers, or individual or small business sellers' websites, with ads attached as part of an internet access package.
The obvious reality is that these small individual sites, supported by and beholden to the big servers and corporations backing them, have seen how little they are paid for the hits the big boys promote; and how uninterested in their blogs, or sites themselves, most internet surfers are.
Slightly subsidizing an enormous mass of small sellers (but big consumers) in order to really promote big sellers' products to those same small sellers but big consumers. A very successful model, but not for the small wannabe sellers.
Here are a few so called ' siren servers ' no doubt, Jaron's term, from my site:

re BBC HACK CLAIMS OF AUSTRALIAN SPY HQ SO MUCH FOR CIVILIZATION OF ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES
Australia came out recently opposing the US' (admittedly foolish and way too late, and wrong headed) containment position re China (e.g. why try to ' contain ' your own factory, and largest creditor, even if you could?).
China, I believe, is Australia's biggest trading partner.
Huge materials contracts, etc.
Australia can smell the coffee, on its sniveling hacking admission, true or false, about its erstwhile best friend in Asia.
Australia has been more or less, becoming part of China's Confucian sphere of influence; perhaps I exaggerate
call it a tractor beam of free trade.
So much for Churchill's ' English Speaking Peoples ' hanging together, when there's free trade on the go, eh?

RE KENNAN AND A DEFENSIVE WW II AND CAUSES OF DECLINE OF WEST
One is driven back to WW I, and to its end, both ideologically and militarily, again and again.
You have to recall that the US did not even understand, or want to enter, WW I.
It was only because of the Russian Revolution, in 1917, (and the Russian military and economic collapse) that the US saw its liberal way clear to fight with the British and French imperialists against the Germans and their imperialist allies, the Austro Hungarians.........
Certainly, there is no one who can tell me that the Bolsheviks would not have been susceptible to removal by the Western powers, as weak as they then were, during and after WW I?
That, certainly, would not have been a defensive war.

LETS LOOK ALSO AT SOME UNDERLYING REALITIES OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Historically, most liberal economies have been reluctant to prohibit their companies from setting up operations in foreign countries.
Off shoring plant and facilities has become a way of life to take advantage, call it temporary rather than comparative or competitive advantage, of lower labor costs.
These transfers have constituted the single largest transfer of wealth from West to East, and most of this has been in the last 50 years, primarily on our watch.
For many US and European firms, setting up factories in Asia has turned out, in the long run (not all that long, usually, say 4, 5 years, even less), to being tantamount to sort of going out of business, slowly.
Of course, there were early post WW II US subsidiaries in Europe, ' When in Rome do as the Romans ', ' the world is our oyster ', see Sovereignty at Bay, etc.
Now the situation is one really of appeasement, and of , meanwhile, winding down to the bottom of global costs.

RE COMMISSION ON IP THEFT A NEW VARIATION ON PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON COMPETITIVENESS BBC
US report warns on China IP theft
Reminds me a little of Michael Porter's The Competitive Advantage Of Nations , the result of another Commission back then.
He was on a blue ribbon President's Commission On Competitiveness. There were insights in that book, but he was a real free trade globalist, as all economists have tended to be.
This IP commission, composed mainly of bipartisan globalists too, mostly amateurs in this IP theft subject, plus a military leader or two for good measure; this commission takes the same kind of tack as in the past.
They advocate, for a short term solution, a more nimble, shall we not say, entrepreneurial, President, (Obama), say a sort of a ' maverick executive ' (Surprise!), to out think these thieves in the global marketplace.
http://www.ipcommission.org/report/IP_Commission_Report_052213.pdf
As I have so often reiterated: Never, in the field of human conflict, has so much been given away to so many, by so few, for so little, so quickly.
Call in Jaron Lanier, re IP theft, in connection with his book Who Owns The Future.
(The one who owns the future is the one who can best steal it, it seems. That has long been the legacy of liberal democracies, and liberal international economic orders, built thereon. Cf. Smuggler Nation.)

FORGET ABOUT GAY RIGHTS IN GEORGIA BBC
'A planned gay rights rally in Georgia had to be abandoned after protesters,

RE ZERO-SUM GAME ETC
Economists have held, generally, that trade is a positive sum game.
Many Presidents, and others, have been fed this view. Here is former President Clinton, a great globalist:
Many Presidents, and others, have been fed this view. Here is former President Clinton, a great globalist:
"The more complex societies get and the more complex the networks of interdependence within and beyond community and national borders get, the more people are forced in their own interests to find non-zero-sum solutions. That is, win–win solutions instead of win–lose solutions.... Because we find as our interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when other people do better as well — so we have to find ways that we can all win, we have to accommodate each other...."
—Bill Clinton, December 2000.
In fact, I think it is becoming clearer that trade and foreign investment, especially in our modern era of Western developed globalist IT, are in many ways building up a negative sum game situation, particularly for the West, to the extent it exists any longer as a distinct, recognizable, political entity.
This has been the big legacy of the 20th century.
It is, after WW II, overwhelmingly, our American responsibility.

an old 2010 post inflation deflation theme
I should point out,
that, when you are gradually, inch by monthly inch, slowly, annually, becoming a third world economy, trading down, down, to cheaper and cheaper produced goods, to the bottom;
reducing prices, down, down, to cheaper and cheaper priced goods,
to the bottom, you tend,
almost by inertia,
to steer a path, because you have to,
between little blips of inflation, or deflation,
sort of looking for a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, perpetual 'soft landing',
at the 'greatest good for the greatest numbers' airfield (let's not call it an airport).
That is what the US 'economy' if one can speak about such a thing, has been doing.
That is why we haven't had much 'overt' inflation, because we have been buying, and producing offshore more cheaply, goods made offshore.
That also is why we haven't had deflation, because their offshore costs were less, for a little while, and printing fiat money to buy them, so long as the money is accepted, wards off symptoms of deflation.
Keeping prices, and wages, gradually 'trickling down' (a different idiom: UNPROSPERITY TRICKLING DOWN) more or less together,
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
Krugman has put his finger on it, domestic jobs, that is the 'sticky wicket' in the whole sordid process, inasmuch as more and more work, of whatever kind, goes offshore, there remain fewer jobs, of any kind, to fund purchase of those cheaper offshore goods.
The other aspect of the situation, re currencies, aside from inflation/deflation, is that these producing countries have begun to realize that US currency is really backed by nothing anymore, no productivity, no specie, nothing.
One takes it, as a medium of exchange, largely hoping to prop up temporarily (self interest) the stultifera navis, and/or to get something of real value from third parties (the old eurodollar situation now globalized).
The Bretton Woods system, flawed from the outset, gold standard even abandoned by US in '71-72(?), a prescription for market sloth, and manipulations of all kinds.
It is not that complicated, really.

sort of looking for a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, perpetual 'soft landing',
at the 'greatest good for the greatest numbers' airfield (let's not call it an airport).
That is what the US 'economy' if one can speak about such a thing, has been doing.
That is why we haven't had much 'overt' inflation, because we have been buying, and producing offshore more cheaply, goods made offshore.
That also is why we haven't had deflation, because their offshore costs were less, for a little while, and printing fiat money to buy them, so long as the money is accepted, wards off symptoms of deflation.
Keeping prices, and wages, gradually 'trickling down' (a different idiom: UNPROSPERITY TRICKLING DOWN) more or less together,
WHERE'S THE BEEF?
Krugman has put his finger on it, domestic jobs, that is the 'sticky wicket' in the whole sordid process, inasmuch as more and more work, of whatever kind, goes offshore, there remain fewer jobs, of any kind, to fund purchase of those cheaper offshore goods.
The other aspect of the situation, re currencies, aside from inflation/deflation, is that these producing countries have begun to realize that US currency is really backed by nothing anymore, no productivity, no specie, nothing.
One takes it, as a medium of exchange, largely hoping to prop up temporarily (self interest) the stultifera navis, and/or to get something of real value from third parties (the old eurodollar situation now globalized).
The Bretton Woods system, flawed from the outset, gold standard even abandoned by US in '71-72(?), a prescription for market sloth, and manipulations of all kinds.
It is not that complicated, really.
MAYBE SOMEONE, LIKE KRUGMAN, SAY, CAN CORRECT MY JAUNDICED VIEW OF THIS ECONOMIC HISTORY..........
Never, in the field of human conflict, has so much been given away to so many, by so few, for so little, so quickly.
RE KENNAN
Started his short lecture course on american diplomacy 1900 to 1950.
This is a good antidote to naive, and idealistic, Americanist flag waving, generally, in past, or for that matter current and future, foreign affairs.

BBC EU MARKET OPENING INITIATIVES SAME OLD REFRAIN
Americans, and other Westerners, have been tricked into globalization for a long time now.
Here is a new ' Westernization ' GLOBALIZATION twist:
"At home, cabinet ministers like Michael Gove and Philip Hammond are talking about leaving the European Union," he said. "But in the United States, David Cameron is talking about how much the EU matters."
He said the prime minister would be making the case for a new EU-US trade deal, creating a free trade area which he says could add £10bn a year to the British economy.
Mr Cameron calls it a "once-in-a-generation prize" but the talks could take years and are based on the UK's presumed membership of the EU.
It won't pan out.

We no longer have one, so trying to appeal to some rational, enlightened, electorate, here, is already obsolete.
RE G7 MEETING JAPAN BASHING SAME OLD WEAK REFRAIN BUT NOW G7 TOPIC
They, the Japanese, had been falsely boosting their economy for decades, claiming ' Japan bashing ', when occasionally challenged;
then the Nixon shock;
and then China supplanting Japan,
Japan having played three sides all along, 60s and 70s;
all due, in no small part, to US, its corrupt, market capitalist, bottom feeding, reflexive, reactive, impotent, measures....

re Maverick Conservatives and what they really are
As the designer of the plastic gun says he is, most people who are so called civil libertarians are actually better described by another term, crypto anarchists, or, more simply, they like it simple, anarchists, a term going back to 19th century european anarchist syndicalists, etc..
He is actually a ' maverick executive '; it is an ideal type.

BBC sovereignty at bay Okinawa China Japan and you
Now seems indeed a very opportune moment for these goodly academics to discuss Okinawa etc., given the shifting, kaleidoscopic international scene.
terms search: fattening things up, Mary Poppins, leverage, playing three sides, etc.
We need to appease both of their ways out, say, with more soft power, market opening, initiatives.
Australia perhaps has already thrown in the appeasement towel, for China: too much ' leverage ', so to speak....

re bbc crisis for concession days are over obama
This is same old bull.
You should ask yourself,
why were we giving hand outs to N Korea in the first place?
Whenever they threatened so called vital interests......
When was that?
Whenever they really needed a hand out...really.
This is the game the American presidency has played for many decades now, Republican and Democrat,
laissez faire appeasement, on the one hand,
and foreign aid hand outs on the other to docile obedient client states,
regardless of politics, really.
