Chris Hayes explores the impact of Trump's tariffs on American farmers
Ohio soybean farmer Christopher Gibbs says President Trump was "never ever forthright with the American people" about China tariffs.The very end. Containment. The mindset of Empire. That is the mindset of Fear. England and Germany fought WWI over who was the GREATEST EMPIRE. World War II was again about Empire. Germany had been throttled after losing WWI. FDR fought Nazi and Fascist governments with conventional weapons while American fought for and won the greatest worker rights, and that built a Middle Class and launched US to the top of the world. FDR's vision was to bring world peace about with Russia by our side, as a partner. He stated, "All we have to fear is fear itself." Fear is what motivated Truman to drop the atomic bombs on Japan, bringing about the atomic age of war and a Cold War against Communism. Now, we are supposed to sit back and let our government posture against losing our hegemony while we have people dying because they can not afford the healthcare our medical and insurance monopolies overcharge for, so we can contain Communism? Communism is not the threat. The threat is the 1% trying to control the world. Thanks to Kissinger, the value of our dollar is tied to oil, so we fight wars to control oil. We are waging an economic war right now against Venezuala and Iran for oil. England, after being turned down by Truman because the largest refinery in the world had been nationalized because BP refused to pay a fair price for oil, came back to Einsehower and we used the Communist containment argument to overthrow Democracy in Iran and install a bloody dictator. The coup was run out of the American Embassy. And when the Iranian people in 1972 take hostages in the American Embassy during their revolution against US, we are surprised and shocked. Sorry folks, your great grand parents fought and won socialist reforms for labor in this country and since Reagan we have lost many of those reforms. Hayek's Road to Serfdom about the dangers of socialism reads like a roadmap to our present day circumstances, only the central planning has been carried out by the Capitalist 1%, with no input from the people.
