US Universities graduate about 65 thousand EE-students annually, the Asian
countries alone are now graduating over 700 thousand EEs
annually. (What about the quality of these 700 thousand? --- I don’t
know, --- but for today’s hottest and
most
difficult technology, Giga-Hertz communication, very many of the authors on
this subject in the trade-press have Asian sounding names.) --- In any war, economical or otherwise, the number
of well trained “officers”, engineers, is decisive!

the fact that we are in a battle”. While this student issue is
only a symptom and not the cause, the “tactical”

. --- If, we want to maintain our standard of living and have any
significant role in this World, we will need to do the impossible. Turn back
the time 50 years, to “the great social contract” of the “GI-bill”, John
F Kennedy and the “National Defense Education Act” of 1958. This period, from
45 to 75, has also been called -
“The Golden Age of Capitalism”.
The question now is which part of our “Great American Dream” has turned into a “Nightmare”? --- The reason is not that we don’t have a “pure” Democracy, but a mixture of Oligarchy and Democracy, (Government strongly controlled by big business and rich families.) That has always been the mark of a well working democracy, beginning with the ancient Greek. It is not the part that says there should be human right and freedom for all. --- It’s the perversion of Capitalism which tells us that the most important part in life is to become filthy rich! --- This exclusive goal of greed, which is now being practiced by the CEOs of our industry, has also become the goal of every one of us. At one time there even was a popular song about this subject that began with, “Mothers don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, let them become doctors and lawyers instead”. These multi million dollar rich CEOs have now turned our democracy into a total “oligarchy”, they are now running the Government without taking responsibility for the welfare of the country. --- Because we want them to do it and so do our elected representative.

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [The Wasteland] 14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. --- Mathew 5 13-16
Read it carefully, it does not say it will happen by a direct interference
of God, but by being “trotted under the foot of men”; meaning by the
other 5.4 Billion people here on earth. The
What is this “Perversion” of
Capitalism as the Foundation of our Culture?
Let me first emphatically state that the
following is not an endorsement of the failed Communism of the past, and
neither is the author of this paragraph, Iain Banks, famous for his “Culture
novels”, of this persuasion, far from it!
Let me state here a
personal conviction that appears, right now, to be profoundly unfashionable;
which is that a planned economy can be more productive - and more morally
desirable - than one left to market forces. The market is a good example of
evolution in action; the try-everything-and-see-what-works approach. This might
provide a perfectly morally satisfactory resource-management system so long as
there was absolutely no question of any sentient creature ever being treated
purely as one of those resources. The market, for all its (profoundly inelegant)
complexities, remains a crude and essentially blind system, and is - without
the sort of drastic amendments liable to cripple the economic efficacy which is
its greatest claimed asset - intrinsically incapable of distinguishing between
simple non-use of matter resulting from processal
superfluity[surplus]and the acute,
prolonged and wide-spread suffering of conscious beings.
It is, arguably, in the elevation of this profoundly mechanistic (and in that
sense perversely innocent) [capitalistic] system to a position above all
other moral, philosophical and political values and considerations that
humankind displays most convincingly both its present intellectual [immaturity
and] - through grossly pursued selfishness (rather than the applied
hatred of others) a kind of synthetic evil.
(See about this “synthetic evil” in Mathew 5 13-16
)

Generally, the answer is no. Economic
globalization is supporting very rapid advances of many impoverished economies,

Will higher income in poor countries mean lower incomes in rich countries?
By and large, economic development is a
positive-sum process, meaning that all partake in it without causing some to
suffer. In the past 200 years, the world as a whole has achieved a massive
increase in economic output rather than a shift in economic output to one
region at the expense of another. ….
And here is the “mantra” of the US Government which was created by a
high-level exec of TI Inc. Let’s call him Benedict Arnold to preserve
his anonymity, he stated:
“For every job
that goes over-seas, another one is created right here in the US!”
What a great relieve
this is, just say this mantra every time you meditate with great
conviction and gusto and, generally, and by and
large, all will be well.
Global economy and the
Voluntary DE-Industrialization of America
No
doubt, the time for “Global economy” has arrived, and this event will free 2 to
3 Billion people on earth from hardship, hunger and poverty. But will this
happen the way we intend it to happen? --- NO, because our true motive
represented by our Government and strongly influenced by leaders of Industry,
is the motive of unmitigated GREED instead. --- I would say that the biggest

Is your Spiritual house in Order? --- An excerpt from the latest report of "Senator
Tim Ferguson”: http://www.federalobserver.com/archive.php?aid=7849
There is nothing more important in your life right now
than the exceedingly dire economic crisis unfolding as I write, and the state
of your soul!
In other words, if your spiritual house is not in order, the
building financial collapse will be so horrible that you will not be able to
emotionally or mentally endure it, and I am addressing the healthy and strong
here.
This collapse will knock you out cold, flat on your
back, with violence, and most of mankind will never get back up. While the
elite are sending signals to their friends that the switch has been thrown,
that final preparations for safety are now in order, they are not saying how
bad it will be. That is why I began this site, because I could not find anyone,
even doomsayers, who spelled out clearly what is at stake here. I believe that
even the elite, such as Sir Templeton (more below) do not fully understand the
implications of this crash --- that this is the end of
Describing
the effect of DE-industrialization on our life --- to a friend.
You should rejoice Bill considering the troubles you have with our Government
organizations; --- this coming National disaster will strike all of the U.S.
just like the Hurricane Katrina struck the Golf coast, but this time it
will strike all cities and continue for may decades. --- I believe a lot of
people will be surprised about the similarities of these two events. No
electricity, no gas for heat, no fresh water, --- Foot riots in nearly all big
Cities, street gangs controlling the neighborhoods, fires being set and burning
out of control, the organization of “soup-kitchens” being delayed by lack of
founds, etc. etc. Driving on highways will only be possible in convoys with
armored trucks in front and back, and still there will be trouble, because
ambushes will be set with parts of the highways being mined. --- Since this
Catastrophe is nation-wide, there will not be enough National Guards or even
regular Army to keep order, and the Employees of Government organizations will
not come to work without being paid. ---- Don’t you think Bill that this will
solve your “misunderstandings” with the Government?
You have ask me Bill what I am doing to prevent this catastrophe.
It can’t be prevented Bill, it’s the way the forces in this Kosmos are
arranged; You might say by “the process of Evolution”, for these forces are not
any direct interference, or “micromanagement” by God, as Jesus has made
it very clear to us in his “Sermon on the Mount” when he said:
(Matthew 5-13) “13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men.”
This is a good description of our present-day US America, the kind of The Wasteland which Joseph Campbell has described in these words:
“The problem of the grail quest is the re-vitalization of what is known as the WasteLand. The WasteLand is a world where people live not out of their own initiative, but out of what they think they're supposed to do. People have inherited their official roles and positions; they haven't earned them. This is the situation of the Wasteland,--- a place where the sense of the vitality of life has gone.
Bill,
no one can prevent the coming disaster, and I can only buy us more time to
adjust. It’s the way by which another two to three Billion of the Word’s
population is finally getting into the industrial age and out of poverty,
hardship and hunger. (What’s the sacrifice of just 280 million Americans
compared to that?) --- What I tried to do Bill, was to increase the
For you who are not familiar with the Capitalistic process by which our Industry is being transferred offshore, here is a short outline. --- Since wages in Asian countries are about one dollar per man-our, including the necessary engineers on the factory floor, a company who does not outsource its products will not be competitive and go bankrupt in a short time. --- Lately, the same situation has developed for even the most demanding and sophisticated engineering design jobs.
