The United States is not a capitalist country, but a tool used by capitalists to plunder global wealth.
To give you a few examples, you can see what I mean.
For example, the Russian-Ukrainian war was provoked by the United States, and hundreds of billions of dollars were donated to UkraineThe real beneficiaries are the American capitalists
In May of this year, Ukraine putEnergy, infrastructure, power grids and other national assets were transferred to the American management giant BlackRockThe long-term returns on these assets are certainly in excess of a trillion dollars, and in return, BlackRock assumes $110 billion in debt owed by Zelensky. It is better to swallow Ukraine's core assets, and it can even be said that Zelensky packaged and sold Ukraine's core assets to BlackRock Group.
In addition to BlackRock,U.S. companies such as Vanguard and Blackstone have bought more farmland in Ukraine than in all of Italy
The White House did everything possible to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, but it was ExxonMobil and other oil companies that really benefited from it, and they relied on giving Europe "4 times" natural gasEarned $200 billion in half a year
In addition to these companies,The most profitable are the arms dealers
The arms industry makes money from war, and peace is the biggest enemy of the arms industry, so American arms dealers want to fight every day, because war is a tool for them to make money.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the arms provided by the United States to Ukraine have become the profits of arms dealers,**report,U.S. military spending in 2023 will reach $847 billion, of which 45 billion dollars will be needed for the production of ** ammunition for the army alone, which is unimaginable in peaceful conditions.
Another example, in 2003,The United States launched a war against Iraq under the pretext that Iraq possessed mass destruction**。The war has left hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead and maimed, as well as countless property damage and social unrest.
The United States has been stationed in Iraq for nearly 20 yearsTrillions of dollars spent, butThe ones who really made a lot of money were Chevron and ExxonMobilChevron and ExxonMobil prostituted the oil fields that the Germans, the French, and the British had already built, and they obtained experienced engineers and mechanics at a very low cost, and the money they earned did not have to pay taxes to Iraq.
ExxonMobil and Chevron in the United StatesIt is the largest shareholder in Iraq's largest oil fields, such as the Rumaila Oilfield, the West Gurna Oilfield, and the Maidina Oilfield, the United States has the number of shares held by these two companies, is the largest shareholder of Proper Stock.
In addition, U.S. capital also controls Iraq's water, transportation, electricity, ports, communications, and other industriesA conservative estimate could make $20 trillion
So, the United States is a corporation disguised as a stateThe country has been deeply kidnapped by capitalThe first person responsible for this situation is Reagan
When Ronald Reagan came to power in 1981, he embarked on drastic reforms that replaced Keynesianism with neoliberalism.
Neoliberal economics is, essentiallyA Freemasonry composed of big capitalists and big financial groups, through private banks, the Federal Reserve monopolizes the financial system in the United States, and thenControl of the real economy of the United States, and even plunderA beautiful lie woven by seizing the world's wealth
There are three core measures of the Reagan reform.
The first is the tax cut.
Reagan introduced the Tax Cuts Act of 1981 and the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which significantly reduced personal income tax, corporate income tax and capital gains tax.
The corporate income tax was reduced from 46% to 34%, and the personal income tax was reduced from 88% to 33%., becoming the largest tax cut in U.S. history, makesThe United States became the country with the lowest tax rate among the industrial countries of the West
However, the tax cuts allow the United StatesThe gap between rich and poor is widening rapidly。The tax rate has been significantly less progressive, benefiting high-income earners by $749 billion, and the bottom 10 percent of the population has increased their tax payments by 20 percent due to higher tax registrations due to inflation. Poverty accounted for 11 percent of the total population in 19808% rose to 15 in 19832%。Eighty percent of households were in worse financial shape in 1990 than they were when Carter took office in 1977Only the top 20% of households have seen an increase in income
The second is to crack down on strikes.
Before Reagan, the American union held it annuallyStrikes as many as 300 times。But in the summer of 1981, when a strike was initiated by the Air Traffic Control Workers' Union, Reagan took a hard line and ordered him to return to work, and two days later he followed the warningAll those who participated in the strike were expelled 120,000 air traffic controllers。Since the union was one of the few unions to support Reagan in 80,** Reagan's move caused a political uproar.
Since then, in the context of the suppression of strikes,The power of American trade unions has been markedly weakened, the number of strikes, the number of people, the number of days have dropped significantly, and the proportion of workers joining trade unionsFrom 39% in 1973 to 10% in 2020
During the 8 years of the Reagan administration,Wages for workers in the United States have increased almost zeroThis brings greater profit margins and creates a better environment for the operation of the enterprise.
Finally, reduce the number of interventions.
Internally, after Reagan came to power, he fully implemented a free market economy and willPrivatization of state-owned enterprises such as logistics, electricity, and water conservancyHis goal is to make**Completely withdraw from the stage of economic operation
Since the Reagan era, the United States has evolved over the years into a highly financialized countryAll kinds of strategic industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood are inseparable from the support of various Wall Street consortiumsThe depth of capital's control over all areas of American society can be understood by looking at who the shareholders of the Federal Reserve are.
The Federal Reserve is the ** bank in the United States, but this bank is not owned by the state, butIt is made up of private banks and large conglomerates。According to the 1983 information disclosure, the composition of the Fed's shareholders is ,Six banks hold 53% of the shares: Citigroup, Chase Manhattan, JPMorgan Trust, Hannover Manufacturing and Hanhua Bank
Another example is Microsoft, IBM, Apple and all the other tech giantsThe shareholders behind it are BlackRock and Pioneer Pilot, which represent the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums, respectively, isTypical Jewish capital
And, according to the data, the Fed has been in the market for nearly 50 yearsThe six presidents were all Jewish, and 50% of the financial elite of Wall Street in the United States were Jewish;Half of the 200 most influential cultural figures in the United States are Jewish；By the end of the last century, more than half of the more than 100 American scholars who had won the Nobel Prize were of Jewish descentAt prestigious universities in the eastern United States, 30 percent of professors are Jewish.
Therefore, the 30 years of rapid development of the United States after the collapse of the Soviet Union are also 30 years of crazy expansion of Jewish powerIn the United States today, the Jews' political, cultural, and economic power is unfathomable enough to influence U.S. foreign policymaking
Externally, the American capitalists have embarked on a tricky and reckless campaign all over the worldThe collapse of the Soviet Union, the Plaza Accord in Japan, the Southeast Asian financial crisis, frequent regime changes in Latin America, and the European debt crisis, there are all of them behind them.
In particular, after the European debt crisis,BlackRock controls six of Spain's largest banks and 172 French companiesShareholders of large companies such as Bayer and BASF also have BlackRock. The Dutch central bank also handed over the pension of employees to BlackRock to take care of, so some people talked about itAfter the pyramids of Europe were built, BlackRock was at the top
If before Reagan, the United States was the country with the strongest capital, today's United States is the capital with the strongest country.
And now, in fact, the interests of financial capital and the United States have become the opposite, and the so-called strong American economy is actually "strong capital and weak country".
