House of Paine

the three layers of international economic activity

 the three are

1) trade

 2)credit

 3)direct investment

and the greatest of these is......

===========================


  direct investment 

for uz consumers to bene
all we need is trade

to help speed up 
 a "poor" nation
investment 
in developing 
  plentiful  natural resources
 or mechanizing
 the work of its cheap  labor 
 
"we' can use our credit

but if "we"
really want all the exploitation marbles
we need to get in there 
on the ground and
 buy it build  it and ship it "ourselves" 
 
go direct 
 to 
 the source 

--------------------------

now as old henry wallace used to say
if you lend sometimes you got to go collect 

and thats a problem


but yor rivals won't go to war over 
a collection expedition

its when you try securing your postion perminently
by using force to get direct access 
and cut the slices too thin for the other big boys

thats when .....
the  guns of august
can be heard in the distance

 today hell seems like forever 

europe don;t got an independent armed force 
thanx to the nato okee dokee 

russia is still 
an un-re- risen suffle

more the source of others temtations
like ottoman turkey
with its lost dependencies
now  
 just  natural fruit trees
seductively  
hanging low 
for invasive 
outside pickers   

and  china?
 still having 
things all
too good as things stand 
but a nasty trade back turn
like we pulled on japan 
in the late 30's .....


and then there's 
myfavorite
potential  swing player  
japan

"when godzilla stands up
on his  own two feet
the game will get
 greater 
  and 
the chances 
china and russia 
will start
war  dancin brighten like 
a childs face at christmas"
               chalmers johnson 

------------------------

i won't bother u with the prospect 
of the EC trying 
to  re attaching its testicles ...

but oh is this all so long away ?

 prolly 
shit 
we must have miles and miles to go yet

from here
i can't even hear big bertha 
let alone the front line 75's
