SHOULD WE
REBUILD AFGHANISTAN?
|
|
Afghanistan wants $45 billion in world aid over
the next decade rebuild its economy.
Right After World War II America began its first
peacetime foreign aid program, the Marshall Plan.
We did it to keep a devastated Western Europe from
going Communist.
The European countries we aided -- with the exception
of socialist Britain -- responded to the Marshall
Plan incredibly well. They quickly rebuilt a totally
destroyed continent, though some British buildings
remained down because planners couldn't agree. Then
these countries soared beyond their pre-World War
II level per capita income -- except for Britain.
Ever since the Marshall Plan, we have been trying
to do for everybody else on earth what we did for
Europe. One foreign aid plan after another has been
developed by our "intellectuals" and one after another
has failed.
The Marshall Plan was the only foreign aid plan
that succeeded, first, because it was the only one
our "intellectuals" didn't put together. The Marshall
Plan was not put together by a bunch of Harvard
economists. We were in a desperate situation and
desperation makes you get real.

NOTHING
WORKS IF YOU REFUSE TO "TELL IT LIKE IT IS"
|
|
Foreign aid since the Marshall Plan has been a consistent
failure because it has been planned by liberal "intellectuals."
All Politically Correct plans fail.
There is nothing mysterious about the repeated
failures of Politically Correct foreign aid programs.
There is nothing mysterious about the failure of
ALL Politically Correct programs in every area of
life
But since it is a bunch of PhDs who are doing these
disastrous things, we think that what is being done
wrong is somehow the result of highly sophisticated,
highly intellectual, hard-to-understand failings
that require books and mathematical equations to
explain.
What academics are doing is not complicated. What
they are doing is silly. They are violating some
very simple rules of life, rules the rest of us
can see clearly.
But as long as we keep treating leftism as if it
were something highly sophisticated and intellectual,
we will never expose them.
The problem is that anyone who calls the silly
stuff "silly," in other words, anyone who tells
it like it is, will not be allowed to say it in
the media. Showing respect for these ridiculous
little eggheads is how conservatives stay "respectable."
Until the respectable conservatives are discredited,
leftists will keep their power and money.
So on foreign aid, as in the case of each subject
before, Whitaker Online will now explain the commonsense
rules, the rules real people know, that the so-called
"intellectuals" are ignoring.

SKIN
COLOR AND FOREIGN AID
|
The only American foreign aid programs that have been
successful were for white countries, and for Japan.
The Marshall Plan after World War II did help Europe
and Japan pull themselves out of the devastation and ruin.
Naturally, all the successes of those countries were attributed
to "The Marshall Plan." You will regularly see quotes
like "Europe recovered due to the Marshall Plan."
This is, to put it mildly, a bit overstated.

REAL
ECONOMICS WORKS IN REALITY
|
|
This is the way economics works in the real world:
1) White or Mongoloid countries that use -- in the latter
case, copy -- the free market all get rich fast.
2) Brown countries are poor.
3) Communist countries of every color are poor.
That's not very complicated is it?
The problem is that all this means that the academics,
the people who call themselves "intellectuals," are always
wrong. They say skin color is unimportant. They say that
if you turn economic planning over to "intellectuals"
and bureaucrats, you will get fairness and prosperity.
So we pay professors to spend a major portion of their
time persuading people that all three of these universal
rules of economics are the result of unfortunate accidents.
Meanwhile back in the real world the success of foreign
aid follows the three basic economic rules of economics:
1) economic aid to white countries and to Japan after
World War II was a success.
2) economic aid to colored countries is worse than a
failure.
3) economic aid to Marxist countries of all colors is
a flop.

SKIN
COLOR AND INDEPENDENCE
|
|
Edward Gibbon, the eighteenth century historian, opposed
American independence. Since he turned out to be wrong
about that, he changed sides and started pushing Indian
independence.
By the same token, those who saw what a success the Marshall
Plan was decided that all that BROWN countries needed
to get rich was foreign aid money.
When someone goes with the idea that whatever is good
for whites is good for brown people they are wrong. This
is true at least in economic development, foreign aid
and probably on the subject of political independence.

TRUTH
Political Correctness says that you have to say all this
is an accident, and that brown people are just as good
at economic development as whites are.
What is funny is that Political Correctness also blames
white people for economic development because economic
development is unnatural and evil.
To repeat the hippie motto, "The white race is the cancer
of history." We are the cancer of history because we have
"ruined the world" with industrialization. Whites are
evil because they brought economic development.
Brown people are good because they did not develop Evil
Industry.
But if you say brown people don't bring on economic development
just as naturally as whites do, you are anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
If they had an opposition that had brains, the Political
Correctness crowd would be in real trouble spewing self-contradictory
drivel like this. But the only anti-liberals who are allowed
to speak are those with whom the liberal media feel comfortable.
And a kept opposition like that is not going to make the
PC crowd keep its lies straight.
