#2 Ummm...we could use a bit more alarmism when it comes to the defective economic policies coming out of DC.

Peter Schiff should be quoted here more often. Economics will determine the course of the WOT and the future of this country, not the other way around. People lose sight of the ball, but the fact of the matter is that one tactic of asymmetric warfare is to get your enemy to spend themselves to death defending against possibilities.

We are losing and very few recognize that (even here).

Those Milyuhns-and-Zilyuhns of mostly poor Persons around the World, espec those residing in the POVERTY-STRICKEN THIRD WORLD, may still suffer from starvation + low crops yields regardless of how Good or Bad, Cheaply or Expensive FOOD PRICES are manipulated in World Markets.

* SAME > NATIONALISM ON THE RISE IN AL NATIONS DUE TO GLOBAL STAGNATION | WILL THE GLOBAL RECESSION LEAD TO WORLD WAR IV? GLOBAL STAGNATION STRENGTHENING THE NATIONALIST RIGHT EVERYWHERE, POTENTIALLY lEADING TO A WHOLE KIND OF COLD WAR [Global = Universal].

* RISE OF REGIONAL BLOCS + BILATERAL DEALS. TransRegional???
* TRADITIONAL STATE/GOVTS-LED GEOPOL = INTERNATIONAL DIPLOAMCY give way to GEOPOLITICS-N-DIPLOMACY-BY-MULTINATIONAL/CONGLOMERATE [Boards of Directors-Trustees]. MIL ARMIES-FIREPOWER REPLACED BY HI-TECHS + ECONOMIC, PROFIT YIELDS???
