>Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war" and on the implied promise that he would "keep us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.
>In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.
>Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?
>Money.
>An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:
>"There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.
>If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money . . . and Germany won't.
>So . . . "
>Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars."

As a European you would know. If America wasn't bogged down with globalism and bureaucracy we'd be # 1 again in no time. Meanwhile Europe continues to be as stagnant.

Yeah or products would be so much better and we'd be so much better off economically if we prevented our companies from competing globally and we had to pay more to buy products from overseas.
When you eliminate competition while others don't your destined to fall behind. There's no incentive to innovate or produce better products. If this was done China will continue to compete globally and will continue to advance while the US stagnates. Regardless, China will come out on top. They have more than 4 times the population of the US and are a unified power unlike India.
People without even a basic understanding of economics shouldn't comment on it.

How is this even possible? If it's as pervasive as they say it is, then it's common knowledge as a significant population are "in on it".
All the much more so if it's organized and watchful.
But it seems like no one knows what "it" is? This makes no sense.
Just another example of humans wanting to anthropomorphize and attributing purpose to chaotic systems. They can't handle the idea that no group is in charge.

For if he begins to sell to certain retail dealers, to any retail dealers, the monopoly will refuse to sell to those dealers, and those dealers, afraid, will not buy the new man's wares

This was a century ago. Today this type of anticompetitive behavior would be illegal.

>>2790792
It's simply become more entrenched and more subtle than it was back then, with the cooperation of the deep state.
Do you think the massive growth of regulation since the mid-20th century has been about protecting the public? Some of it was, but for the most part it serves to create an ever-growing barrier to entry for small companies in a wider and wider portion of industries.

Fuck off America, you just came here late to the party and screamed that you were the hero.
If you didn't interfere we would have bled the deutsch so hard they would never have risen again and we would have kept Algerie.

The only difference would have been that Germany would have been bled just as dry as France was. So yeah I guess they wouldn't have risen again as frogs were weak sauce in WW2 exactly due to being bled dry in the Great War.
