Comment: What was before modern Zionists?
What was before modern Zionists?
During limited free-market capitalism in 1900's many Americans complained about greedy bankers, Jews, competition, unequal pay, exploitation, etc. After women got the voting power, American majority indicated they want some economic "equality" and "fairness." They complained about banksters with the same despair as some DP posters do today. Majority of Americans also indicated they do not want to work as hard as "Chinese." US government banned immigration from Asia, forced newly created FED to cater for its unbalanced budget and unemployment, switched to FIAT, started credit expansion and wars.
Think for a moment - how else can you force other countries to accept paper dollars as gold if not via bribes and military threats? US government and the FED simply serve the majority of Americans. In addition, our endless wars provide gainful permanent employment for millions of Americans and those are the true lobby for wars. In the end, our myopia is dishonest - we want to have good living via dollar power and blame Zionists as a scapegoat. Most Americans still live beyond their actual market productivity. Even Alex Jones laments he does not want to work as "Chinese." Clearly, US rejection of free-market capitalism was not the fault of Zionists, capitalists or bankers. Under capitalism, Jews & Israel will live even better than today. Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about group demands and not about individual rights.
