Reply #34: But we finally got smart. [View All]

[Gregorian]

We invented tags that were imbedded into the items in the stores. Then when they walked out, an alarm went off. And that's what we have to do in order to keep our national thiefs in check. We have to find out what we've just found out, and then design a way to keep them from doing it. The rest of the world is in on this. Not just us. They are stealing from everyone.

And the war is actually about controlling the oil. Not the oil itself. We owe so much money to the Chinese and Japanese, etc., that if they were to have control over the oil, we would fold.

And I apologize for not reading your entire post. I'm bleary eyed, and still hardly awake. After hearing the author discuss his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", I'm still reeling. I'm stunned. I don't think we (the smart half of America) can do this alone. It's going to take the help of the world. That book appears to explain it all.
