    I think you have mistaken the priority of these two adjectives. I believe that -- granting your chosen date and chosen personage for convenience's sake -- da Gama was the first Modern Man to arrive in the pre-Modern world. To my mind, the gulf between Modern and pre- or non- or anti-Modern is far greater than the West/East divide. There had been several unconscious attempts in various other places and times to establish or induce the Modern in prior societies (the Sung Dynasty came close, less so the Baghdad Caliphate), and Modern individuals, like say Catullus or Euripides sprang up uniquely from time to time, but not numerous to create the Age. All of the necessary ingredients were not present in the same place at the same time with the same velocity.

    The keynote catastrophe of the past millennium is that it took centuries upon centuries for the West to develop and give birth to the Modern, but when it finally did, Westerners sprung it upon the rest of humanity almost instantaneously --- unwittingly presenting all the rest of mankind with the greatest cognitive challenge it had ever collectively encountered since the dawn of agriculture, and expected Non-Modern Man to catch up right away. Which was of course nearly always nearly impossible. In the meantime the advantages which the West enjoyed from having already mastered the Modern were simply too great to resist, with the result being the usual litany of complaints from the grievance industry. As if imperialism and conquest and exploitation and natural human greed and cruelty had never happened before.

    “Modern were simply too great to resist, with the result being the usual litany of complaints from the grievance industry“

    No , the grievance industry rose in large part because the capitalist- mercantakilst- colonizers did not play by rules : Rules and expectations of the colonized, Rules that the colonizers prescribed to themselves.

    No one is envious of current Japan or S Korea . No one wants to destroy them . No one wants to destroy Germany or Singapore or Switzerland .
    But plenty wants to destroy UK and USA . Plenty did express that sentiment for centuries and decades .

    Only in the modern times , privileges power and control have been usurped and misappropriated without responsibility to the conquered , powerless, and to those acquired by grabbing land .
    The conquered and colonized pay labor taxes allow identity to be eroded and dignity destroyed without things in return.

    And Modern is not western . West just happens to be the current place holder. That also mostly in technical and scientific realms .

    Everything appeared to be heading in the right direction for a breakthrough in Middle East peacemaking, to avert a spiraling war that would embroil the region.

    Officials from the United Nations, France and the United States had drafted a statement calling for a three-week cease-fire aimed at preventing a broader conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, and shared it with the two sides to consider.

    Amos Hochstein, a White House envoy, told United Nations and Lebanese officials that Israel was ready to endorse the statement, according to four Western diplomats and three Lebanese officials who were involved in or briefed on the talks.

    But even as Israel gave these signals, it was already making plans to kill Mr. Nasrallah.”

    Ironically the Muslims are the closest thing the world has to Nazis with the Nazi movement ended after WWII. Muhammad actually accomplished in Arabia what Hitler failed to accomplish in Germany, Juden Frei. And with the religion Muhammad invented, with the help of Satan, his Jew-hatred lives on, tragically, for the world. At some point all of the non-Muslims of the world will need to unite to take care of the problem of Islam once and for all.

    Replies: @KA

    Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth. The argument for it is double. First, in 570 CE, when the Prophet Mohammad was born, the Jews and Judaism were on the way to oblivion. And second, the coming of Islam saved them, providing a new context in which they not only survived, but flourished, laying foundations for subsequent Jewish cultural prosperity – also in Christendom – through the medieval period into the modern world.

    Had Islam not come along, the conflict with Persia would have continued. The separation between western Judaism, that of Christendom, and Babylonian Judaism, that of Mesopotamia, would have intensified. Jewry in the west would have declined to disappearance in many areas. And Jewry in the east would have become just another oriental cult.

    But this was all prevented by the rise of Islam. The Islamic conquests of the seventh century changed the world, and did so with dramatic, wide-ranging and permanent effect for the Jews.

    Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Jews lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Jews in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Jewish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms – all for the better.

    The political unity brought by the new Islamic world-empire did not last, but it created a vast Islamic world civilisation, similar to the older Christian civilisation that it replaced. Within this huge area, Jews lived and enjoyed broadly similar status and rights everywhere. They could move around, maintain contacts, and develop their identity as Jews. A great new expansion of trade from the ninth century onwards brought the Spanish Jews – like the Muslims – into touch with the Jews and the Muslims even of India.

    By about the year 900, the Jews had largely abandoned other languages and taken on Arabic.

    The change of language in its turn brought the Jews into direct contact with broader cultural developments. The result from the 10th century on was a striking pairing of two cultures. The Jews of the Islamic world developed an entirely new culture, which differed from their culture before Islam in terms of language, cultural forms, influences, and uses. Instead of being concerned primarily with religion, the new Jewish culture of the Islamic world, like that of its neighbours, mixed the religious and the secular to a high degree. The contrast, both with the past and with medieval Christian Europe, was enormous.

    Like their neighbours, these Jews wrote in Arabic in part, and in a Jewish form of that language. The use of Arabic brought them close to the Arabs. But the use of a specific Jewish form of that language maintained the barriers between Jew and Muslim. The subjects that Jews wrote about, and the literary forms in which they wrote about them, were largely new ones, borrowed from the Muslims and developed in tandem with developments in Arabic Islam.

    Also at this time, Hebrew was revived as a language of high literature, parallel to the use among the Muslims of a high form of Arabic for similar purposes. Along with its use for poetry and artistic prose, secular writing of all forms in Hebrew and in (Judeo-)Arabic came into being, some of it of high quality.

    “Plato had already had the intuition that the soul is eternal – and in transmigration, incorporates several bodies. Hence the soul may be defined as the idea of vital breath (pneumatos) diffused in every direction. The soul, for Plato, is composed of three parts: rational (logistikon), with its HQ in our head; passional, with its HQ in our heart; and appetitive, in our navel and liver.”

    Transmigration of soul could be the simplest explanation that could be offered to people back then to understand the diffusion of ideas across generations and within the same generations.
    Soul carries ideas that define human . Ideas are shared by direct teaching,preaching,and are imbibed by observations. We might have decided in the time of Buddha or Plato that ideas did not disappear with death but survived among the living. Only way to to allow the idea survive after the death of the person was to invent the transmigration. Death in those periods was seen negatively . It was destruction,decompositions, and loss of power and identity. Why should someone allow the departed body to continue to claim ownership of the ideas when the departed had been emptied of all possessions? Idea of a new ownership had to be used to legitimize its continued existence among the living. Transmigration explains and solves the problem .That ideas have consequences also could be seen to comport with the results from the persistence of the ideas . Persons holding the views of the deceased could be anticipicated to undergo similar tribulations and success in life .

    It is possible words ,sentences ,and the expressions of concepts were more difficult,and also often more surreal to people in the epochs lived by Buddha or Plato.

    No virus has ever been isolated, purified, and characterized, followed by being used to infect a naiive subject, which is what the Koch Postulates require, if we are to believe in them as anything other than a psychological operation to extort vast quantities on money from hogtied governments.

    An interesting distinction between what the Germans did in WWII and what Israel/global-Jewry is doing today in Gaza is that the Holocaust - assuming it happened as described - occurred in secret whereas what Israel is doing is being done in public for the whole world to see. And Jews in both Israel and around the world are cheering it on.

    The average German didn't cheer on the Holocaust or other alleged atrocities that occurred in camps or on the front lines. They had little if any knowledge of what was happening. But Israelis cheer on atrocities against the Palestinians every day which they can see graphic images of (policies which, furthermore, polling indicates that they overwhelmingly support) - e.g., the indiscriminate bombing and massacre of women and children. Furthermore, Israeli leaders make public and blatant calls for, not just war crimes against a helpless and ghettoized population, but ethnic cleansing and genocide. And global Jewry cheers it on.

    Nazi leaders were, on the whole, far more measured in their public statements.

    Ironically, though, the whole of the German people has been saddled with blame for the Holocaust - not just the leadership - but will any Jews, Israeli or not, in leadership or not, be held accountable for what is occurring in Gaza?

In other words, I have much more sympathy for the Israelite we are beginning to reject, than for the Israelite we have already accepted. I have more respect for him when he leads some sort of revolt, however narrow and anarchic, against the oppression of the poor, than when he is safe at the head of a great money-lending business oppressing the poor himself. It is not the poor aliens, but the rich aliens I wish we had excluded. I myself wholly reject Bolshevism, not because its actions are violent, but because its very thought is materialistic and mean.

    We answer all his contentions in our new publication ready in the spring of 2024:

    Holocaust Encyclopedia

    https://holocaustencyclopedia.com/

    Excerpt:

    Hans Frank (23 May 1900 – 16 Oct. 1946) was governor of occupied Poland (called General Government) during the war. Four of the so-called extermination camps – Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibór and Treblinka – were on the territory he governed. (The territories where Auschwitz and Chełmno were located had been annexed by the Third Reich). Therefore, Hans Frank should have known what was transpiring in these camps.

    He was a defendant during the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (IMT). During his testimony at the IMT (Vol. 12, pp. 7-45), he claimed that he had not been informed at all as to what happened in those camps. He asserted that he had conducted his own investigation in this regard, because he had heard rumors spread by enemy media about the camps at Majdanek, Belzec and Auschwitz. He testified that his inquiries did not confirm the rumors (ibid., pp. 17-19).

    Frank kept a massive service diary, which in the end comprised 43 volumes of grandiloquent verbosity. Passages from it were introduced by the prosecution during the IMT. Here are a few of his pertinent statements (IMT, Vol. 29, starting at p. 354):

    On 12 July, and again on 25 July 1940, he reports that occupied Poland will no longer be the destination for more transports of Jews. He reveals that, after a pending peace treaty, all Jews will be deported “to an African or American colony. The talk is of Madagascar.” (pp. 378, 405)
    On 20 December 1940, he mentioned that he “could not drive out all lice and Jews within just one year.” (p. 416)
    22 January 1940: Frank states during a speech that he doesn’t care whether the Jews end up in Madagascar or anywhere else, but he would prefer it if they shuffle back to Asia where they came from. (p. 469)
    13 October 1941: During a meeting with Alfred Rosenberg, minister for the occupied eastern territories, Frank suggests expelling Jews from the Government General into the occupied territories. Rosenberg stated that this was already in process, but would take some time. (Rudolf/Mattogno 2017, pp. 269f.)
    17 October 1941: As a result of a governmental meeting, it is stated that a final clarification of the “Jewish Question” will be possible only once the complete deportation of all Jews can be accomplished. (IMT, Vol. 29, p. 494)
    20 November 1941: Frank announces that the Polish Jews would ultimately be transferred further east. (Kulischer 1943, pp. 110f.)
    16 December 1941: With reference to Hitler’s “prophetic” speech of 30 January 1939 (see the entry on Adolf Hitler), Frank states during a governmental meeting that “we have to do away with the Jews,” and continues:
    “[…] if the Jewish tribe in Europe survives the war, while we have sacrificed our best blood in the protection of Europe, then this war will only have been partly successful. Basically, therefore, with regard to the Jews, I must simply assume that they are to disappear. They will have to go. I have initiated negotiations for the purpose of deporting them to the east. In January, there will be a big conference on this matter in Berlin [Wannsee Conference], to which I will send State Secretary Dr. Bühler. This conference will be held in the Reich Security Main Office of SS Obergruppen­führer Heydrich. A great Jewish migration will set in at any rate.

    But what is supposed to happen to the Jews? Do you think they are going to be housed in settlement villages in the eastern territories? They’ve told us in Berlin: What’s all the fuss? We cannot do anything with them, either in the eastern territories or in the Reich Commissariat [occupied Ukraine], liquidate them yourselves! […] We must destroy the Jews, wherever we find them, in order to maintain the overall structure of the Reich here. […]

    Currently there are in the Government General [occupied Poland] approximately 2½ million, and together with those who are kith and kin and connected in all kinds of ways, we now have 3 ½ million Jews. We cannot shoot these 3 ½ million Jews, nor can we poison them, yet we will have to take measures which will somehow lead to the goal of annihilation, and that will be done in connection with the great measures which are to be discussed together with the Reich. The territory of the General Government must be made free of Jews, as is the case in the Reich. Where and how this will happen is a matter of the means which must be used and created, and about whose effectiveness I will inform you in due time.” (IMT, Vol. 29, pp. 502f.)
    Hence, according to Frank, it was not possible to shoot or poison these Jews at a time when – if we follow the orthodox narrative – Jews were already being poisoned in so-called “gas vans” at the Chełmno Camp, and shot in masses by the Ein­satz­grup­pen. This means that Frank was either clueless, he lied to his audience, or it didn’t happen. Of course, the Wannsee Conference anticipated by Frank decided upon deporting the Jews and/or putting them to forced labor, not to shoot or poison them.

    There are other references to Jews in Frank’s diary, always with reference to evacuation, emigration or deportation (18 March 1942, 15 January 43, 18 November 1943; pp. 571f., 629, 644f.). On 4. March 1944, however, with the war going badly for Germany, he got again more radical when polemicizing (p. 687):

    “The Jews are a race that must be effaced. Wherever we catch one, he is coming to an end.”

Peopel entering heaven are promised of being paired with ” companions with large black eyes”. ” They would recline in couches set in rows with fair companions ( clean of thought ) and bright of eyes “.In other verse it mentions ” companions with big beautiful eyes “.

    Koran talks of ‘ Houris cliostered in pavillions ” who are virtous,maidens,beautiful and not defiled by any being.

    No where it talks of sex,physical union, nor 72 virgins waiting for one .

    Nor does it mention men or women in any way that carries impressions of discriminations in after – life or in heaven.

    It talks of pairing the righteous with theur spouses .

    What does the Houri talk about ?

    Well you can forget about having another Franco because Putin has cemented democracy in the West.

    Yes democracy obviously has all kinds of problems but a dictator like Putin can simply declare a disastrous policy like an unneeded war and there is no way to remove him.

    Lukashenko was already making a mockery of the benevolent dictator and in comes Putin with his war that he didn't even run by the Duma or all of his generals.

    Franco is one for the history books. Europeans can't risk having a favorable autocratic ruler because we have too many insecure men like Putin that weasel their way to the top and then can't resist the chance at trying to put themselves next to Ceasar. Hitler already made that point and Putin sealed any allure of a return to the monarchies. Way to go dwarf.

    Feudal and early modern Europe neglected education because land was the certain way to wealth or survival. Fedual structure continues to survive in Pakistan because that continues to promise power,wealth,and control over the poor-bonded labor . Education is neglected. How a society or country organizes itself ,determines not only its investments of tax dollars but also the choices made by the professiions by students .
    From 1990 onwards, brilliant American students started migrating to journalism, media,finance,and political arena . Tech and science suffered . Finance,media,politics and social sciences allowed more visibility,more money,more political- financial connections and various opportunities for social activism.Some 40 years ago finance sector and banking used to be a slow boring quotidian job with much less wages or salaries and bonuses .

    Creating Petro-dollars and imposing that on rest of the world, using China ‘s cheap labor and then flooding the world and US with those products,and changes back home- deregulation, allowing mergers parlaying into monopolies (75% decline in the number of the banks from 1990) ,periodic cheap money , endemic corruptions and its mislabelling at the top echelon have given rise to todays realities in America that includes education,training,and choices of professions.

    Yes. Indeed you are a sensible person. Though what makes US propaganda so effective is the use of half truth. For instance - there were actual “camps”. That is true. What is false is how the US characterized it. For instance they took a picture of an actual special prison for Uighur militants and then claimed that’s how the camps were. Not the same in any form at all. The camps were indeed for people connected to the militants - but again it was a small minority. So even the US and Zenz only claimed it was 10 percent of the Uighurs. The people absolutely were taught why militant Islam was wrong. Yes the women were taught skills so they could either start a business or get a job. They were taught to learn Mandarin. They were taught national laws. They were taught national history. Why? Because like other autonomous regions of China those things were not mandatory. But in regions like Hong Kong and Xinjiang the hammer has come down. But not in sending in troops to kill and destroy. So while some western sensibilities may be offended - the entire Muslim world was just fine with it. The US and Zenz twisted everything to say they banned the language and banned religion and forced labor upon women etc etc. Complete mis characterizations…. But it is effective.

    But yeah one of the main points of the SCO was to stamp out all militant groups in the region after the US went into Afghanistan. That’s why we see Iran and Pakistan working to try to stamp out the Baloch separatists that plague both countries. China was able to get intelligence on the transits of the Uighur militants movements with help of the rest of the SCO countries. I’m sure Russia got the same with some of the rebel Chechens.

    It was one of the many examples of weaponization.
    Religious card was played against Syrian nationalism . Long before that in 1913-1920 Britian played the same card in S Arabia (which did not exist then ).
    A vested interest is established and an assembly line is created churning out new wannabe . Violence as a policy once starts,is difficult to stop or get rid of.
    There will always be muslim to try this path for personal gain.
    Other religions are producing their die hards and radicals and often big family of uneducated members .
    Recent Sweden koranburning shows how a rejected loser can stay in limelight after failing to win endorsement and leadership in his home country from his own Iraqi Chaldean community .

    As complexity evolves and threat mutates , a collison course is inevitable. But China doesnt try to subdue or destroy culture or forbid freedom of movemnet or personal life style .
    It doesnt go out and bomb or use F16 against hapless unared or autisic kid or pour depleted uranium on wedding vanues or funerals to change their behaviors . Neither it uses state machineray to bulldoze and turn people homeless with no access to basic needs. Neither China has burnt down century- old libraries or gutted down masjids . Muslim in the state of Bihar were not that lucky . Nor were Palestinians .
    Though some kind of social engineeringis taking place there but with an eye to golden fictional past .

    Uighur malady isnt about them , it is about how to harness them to further US UK interests . Afghanistan recap wont be telegraphed among muslim anymore .

    Yemeni Houthi reached the conclusion that US create ISIS and Al Quiada to attack foreign and domestic coutries that then gets US self-invited to Yemen andAfghanistan.

    Agreed (and I myself am a person of faith). But yeah again it was never the majority of Uighurs. In fact during the Chinese civil war you had Uighurs on the side of the CPC and those that weren’t (many of the “chiefs” fled to places like Saudi Arabia). It was never all or nothing like the west portrays. Same with Tibet actually…. But a good example of Islam in China is most westerners don’t know that the Uighurs are not the largest group of Muslims in China. That is the Hui people. For years China has had business conferences specifically for Muslim countries to visit China. They don’t have them in Uighur communities - but in Hui communities. The Hui are simply more business oriented and their areas were more “up to date”. So the Muslim delegations could got to China and have all of their religious needs catered to while they are at the conferences. So called Uighur supporters have no clue about that. An example of the respect the Hui get is some years back (10 or so I believe) a large mosque was to be demolished as having been built without proper permits. Hundreds if not Thousands of Hui came out and PEACEFULLY protested the decision. The higher ups got wind and told the local authorities to let the mosque stay - and it did. Won’t see that in western news.
    I mean even when the leader of Iran visited Beijing the other day - he posted pictures of himself at a prayer service at a mosque in Beijing. Of course that was never shown in the west. But the Muslim world of course knows.

    Mocking terrorist attacks on innocent people is the stuff of psychopaths. If you weren't so stupidly anti China you would realize that I wrote that much of the militant problem in Xinjiang was partly to blame on China itself. Helping the US to arm militants in Afghanistan backfired on China. China learned it's lesson.

    To compare that to Kashmir is just stupid on many levels. And Uighurs in Xinjiang live much better than the people of Kashmir on the Indian side. Most of the Uighur militants that have attacked China lived in either Afghanistan - Turkey - or Syria (everywhere else they go countries deport them). That was the transit network. Thanks to the SCO it has been shut down. Xinjiang is peaceful because the overwhelming majority of Uighurs were never involved in the violence and prefer to live in an advancing country like China. The militants are flushed out. Even the Taliban has stopped giving the Uighur militants safe haven in Afghanistan - and so they attack the Taliban now while working with ISIS. If you weren't so rabidly anti Chinese you might learn something.

    Christianity demonizes sick, grasping, scheming Talmudists (Zionists) (and Marxist heathens, too). Jesus was crucified at the instigation of these creatures, and the Romans were their useful idiots. Yes, Zoglodytism existed even back then.

    That's what really grates the author, Sunic. He's a Zoglodyte, and maybe he doesn't even know it. Western Civilization was forged by Christianity + Greco Roman art, science and logic. Sunic is some brand of quasi-fascist freakery, like Judeofascism. Quasi-fascist freaks HATE civilization, and the concept of civilization. His apostate Catholic editor at the Occidental Observer, Kevin MacDonald, is the same way, only not as extreme in his anti-Christianity.

    The Romans appreciated civilization, which is why they incorporated Christianity after a struggle. Christian Logos/Western Civilization was the outcome. And Zoglodyte pedantic freaks like Sunic and the Judeofascists and the ((Neocons/Marxist "liberals")) who never fit in because they are sick and weak Talmudist perverts and "victims" -- and also didn't fit in by design, because they HATE civilization -- are the enemy of the civilized.

    Jews who were “liberated” after the summation of WW2 had to be forced to use toilets. The soldiers running these facilities commented on the disgusting habits of the jews. It’s all documented. It is fact that their hygiene habits were nonexistent.
    Even General George Patton wrote about the disgusting lack of normal hygiene habits of the jews.
    Not too long ago, a jewish couple was kicked off a airline flight originating in Detroit because they smelled so bad (stunk). They made the news, as they claimed that they were being discriminated against (rightly so). Near the end of the news article, it was mentioned that the airline provided them with a (free) hotel room overnight (where they could clean up their acts). The jews resumed their trip the next day without incident. There is a pending lawsuit against the airline for refusing to allow them to "fly while stinky". Chutzpah, indeed.

Do they think that a controlled Cold War would re-emerge and thus ensure them and their progeny continued access to power ,money and permanently confer decision making rights ? Do they think that Israel would again capture the central stage that it enjoyed during the Cold War ?
    The last is important for analysis . Israel now controls UK ,Germany , France and has enormous influence on the rest .It also has penetrated India ,UAE ,Azerbaijan Morocco and Nigeria ,Sudan . It enjoys positive relation in Russia .
    So why should it need a Cold War ? Is it because
    it wants to control the Cold War ? Cold War of this new century will pit not just one country against another but multiple countries against each other even when they might be subscribing member of same organization like NATO or SCO or Arab League or SUR counties or AU .
    Israel has been supplying arms to countries who’s re at wars against each other . It supplies spy -surveillance tech to 3-4 entities contending for same power and positions . This Cold War isn’t ideological and not constrained by allegiance to group memberships .
    It’s an anarchy at ideological and strategic level . But it serves the present – focused ever growing interests of Israel and the neocons . Israel has no past no tradition no memory no cultural symbols or traditions to defend . Only current interest . It not like India or Russia or China or Iran or Hungary or America defending certain values or traditions or creating new abstract concepts like US and defending it .
    This constant warfare serves Israel and also diverts attention of its feuding clans from fighting on Israeli soil .

    Kagan advising Bush and his wife advising Obama or democratic strategizing Clinton election while allowing his wife make Republican electoral strategy is unthinkable and mind boggling unless we start realizing that the control switch of the entire game is in the hand of the pure self serving groups whose interest take precedence of those for whom it purports to serve .

    If this continues to succeed and deliver ,other countries would join the system and see the entire control of the universe has passed to Israel and neocons .

    JOSEPH'S ENSLAVEMENT OF THE EGYPTIANS (GENESIS 47.13-26)
    We aren't talking about debt without talking about Jews?
    Jews have been rolling people since the Pharaohs. Debt, the major reason they have been hated, "persecuted" and expelled.

    Honest Joe's Discount Mart & Loan.


    Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of a famine that struck the region. Joseph however, prepared for the food shortage. He collected money for payment of grain that he stored for the catastrophic event. Soon the people ran out of money and went to Joseph saying, “Give us food. Why should we die? Our money is gone.”

    Joseph responded, “Bring me your livestock and I will trade your horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys for food.” But soon the people ran out of livestock too. They went to Joseph and said, “Since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left to give except our bodies and land. Our land is no good if we die. Purchase us and our land in exchange for food.”

    So, Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold their fields because the famine was so severe. The land became Pharaoh’s and the people became servants. However, Joseph did not buy the land of the priests because they had enough food from the allotment Pharaoh gave them.

    Joseph told the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves, your households, and your children.”

    The people rejoiced. “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in the eyes of our lord. We will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”

    So, Joseph established as a law concerning land in Egypt – a law that is still in force today – that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh.

    The Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there. They were fruitful and grew greatly in number.

    We have all thoughtfully — or unthoughtfully — read the pathetic story of the years of plenty and the years of famine in Egypt, and how Joseph, with that opportunity, made a corner in broken hearts, and the crusts of the poor, and human liberty — a corner whereby he took a nation’s money all away, to the last penny; took a nation’s livestock all away, to the last hoof; took a nation’s land away, to the last acre; then took the nation itself, buying it for bread, man by man, woman by woman, child by child, till all were slaves; a corner which took everything, left nothing; a corner so stupendous that, by comparison with it, the most gigantic corners in subsequent history are but baby things, for it dealt in hundreds of millions of bushels, and its profits were reckonable by hundreds of millionse of dollars …” – Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain)

    Very astute and pertinent remark, to the mob "...everything looks like a nail". The mob needs a "Lenin" [another commenter very to the point] to direct the mob to precise pressure points. The target is the elites, and their assets, the rest is slugging and ventilating the pressure-pot.

    This goes far, when one sees that an intended leak of Pentagon papers, becomes a narrative, which was intended for the public outside the US, particularly inside the global dissidents ...and the Western public suckles on it and gets diverted from the real issues. Mobs need leadership, that means alternative sources of wealth that can be controlled as precisely as fire-hoses. There are none. Man-meat then is dead. It is. One such approach indeed would be the public inside the US "getting out of the dollar", and opening up a run on exchanges outside the control of the Western Finance et al. . "You now own Russian gas, and Chinese manufacturing", combined with Russia opening up "democracy" by allowing Western private investors [there should be none other, corporations and institutions are smoke-screens] to participate in voting. Just suggestions. The mob has not evolved, the IQ and learned knowledge is inappropriate as to the mob.

    "Mobocracy" is just democracy with anger and confusion thrown into the mix. A group of people functionally controlled by someone (oligarch or oligarch agent), yet that someone will blame it on the mob after the fact. You haven't read Plato, or thought seriously about any of this.

  • @Truth Vigilante
    Ron, I'd only just gotten around to reading your article and noticed your lavish praise for a book written by former Australian P.M Kevin Rudd (aka 'Rudd the Dud' as he's referred to by many Aussies).

    You mentioned that Rudd had relocated to the U.S - which is not surprising, because Rudd is held in very low regard here in Australia and has NO ACTUAL FRIENDS in real life.

    Before he became P.M, Rudd was a junior Shadow Minister, but was eventually sacked by then Opposition Leader and Mark Latham.
    You see, Rudd had a Napoleon complex who thought of himself as the rightful leader.
    He was constantly back stabbing, gossiping and trying to destabilise the leadership with false and malicious rumour mongering, in the hope that by smearing his rivals that he would emerge looking better in relative terms and thus seize the party leadership.

    Eventually Mark Latham got fed up and sacked him - the conversation was witnessed by other parliamentarians present in the office as Latham told Rudd:

    'Kevin, the ONLY reason I had you in the shadow ministry is because you POLLED WELL WITH PEOPLE WHO HAD NEVER ACTUALLY MET YOU IN REAL LIFE'.

    After Mark Latham sacked him, right then and there in Latham's office, as witnessed by others, Rudd started to cry. I kid you not.
    Rudd wasn't even sacked from a real job. (A Shadow Minister does not actually control a ministry. It is a 'pretend' job. They only respond to the machinations of the actual ministry of the party in power and provide a critique of sorts).

    You see, anyone who had ever interacted with Rudd on a personal level could see he was a dickhead - hence the reason he had no friends and was shunned by all.
    Rudd had no principles and would always sell himself to the highest bidder.

    Anyway, before his first term as P.M was over, Kevin Rudd was dumped from the leadership position in 2010 because his colleagues were fed up with his B.S.
    Not content being out of the limelight, Rudd blackmailed the new P.M into giving him the role of Foreign Minister.
    In that capacity, he would go from country to country in late 2010/early 2011 advocating for the overthrow of Ghaddafi in Libya on behalf of his Zionist benefactors.
    Look at this article for example:

    https://www.smh.com.au/national/rudd-urges-international-unity-on-libya-20110506-1ebbp.html

    The first paragraph reads:


    Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has urged world leaders to stay the course in Libya "until the job is done", rejecting calls for a timeline on the NATO-led intervention.

     

    If ever there was a country on the other side of the world that HAD NO DOG IN THE RACE as far as which regime did or didn't rule over Libya, that country was Australia.

    Yet Rudd was running around the world tell anyone who'd care to listen that it was imperative that Ghaddafi should be ousted and sodomised with a sword.

    IT IS OBVIOUS THAT RUDD WAS THEN OWNED (as he is today) BY ZOG.
     
    With that in mind, I wouldn't trust a single word from this POS of a man.

    Lastly, I'll leave you with this 27 sec clip of Kevin Rudd, taken when he was a lowly member of parliament in his early political career (Rudd is the bespectacled guy behind and to the left of the speaker in the clip):

    How far de-dollarization will go, no one knows, but if it's a real thing, the neocons can be credited for inadvertently creating the conditions that made it possible. To the extent that it's being talked about, the main reasons are the Ukraine War, the Taiwan provocations, and the closer 'alliance' of Russia and China. And it seems there are enough nations that are at least entertaining the notion of either de-dollarization or currency-pluralism. All these yrs, the US thought most countries wouldn't dare defy the global system, but plenty are seeming to.

    Perhaps, prolonged American dominance blinded the US to the extent of resentment around the world. For all the talk of the 'rules-based order', many countries realized US power is essentially about bribery, blackmail, and blunt instruments of violence. Or hypocritical sanctions that punish countries for what the US and Israel do on a routine basis.

    Because much of the world was fearful of the US as the lone superpower and dollar-lord, it smiled and went along, making Americans feel that they were respected as the indispensable power. But the reaction of the world community to the West's sanctions against Russia show a different picture. Some countries, especially in Middle East and Latin America are in a 'wicked witch is dead' mode.

    It's also possible that Jewish elites were also blind to the extent of anti-American resentment. In the West(and much of East Asia), the elites are so obedient to and fawning of Jewish Power that it seems Jewish elites expected the same from much of the world. Rude awakening to the overall resentment against the West.

    De-dollarization will be good for the world and, in the long run, good for the US as well. Dollar supremacy led to an over-indulgence on finance in the US, much like the pound supremacy in the 19th century led Britain to over-rely on finance.

    Unlike Britain that was limited in land and resources, the US could move away from excessive financialism to a more balanced economy as the US is vast and bountiful in resources and people. The essential difference between UK and US is the former needed an empire to be a great power whereas the US doesn't, especially because Canada is virtually a part of the US.

    The Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford could not lower consumer prices and raise employee salaries and workmen's wages.

    Court decision:

    "A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the non-distribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes"

    France ‘s Macron sees the war as an expression if American hegemony .
    “Europe must resist pressure to become ‘America’s followers,’ says Macron
    The ‘great risk’ Europe faces is getting ‘caught up in crises that are not ours,’ French president says in interview.

    “The paradox would be that, overcome with panic, we believe we are just America’s followers,” Macron said in the interview. “The question Europeans need to answer … is it in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan? No. The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction,” he said.

    Macron also argued that Europe had increased its dependency on the U.S. for weapons and energy and must now focus on boosting European defense industries.

    He also suggested Europe should reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar,” a key policy objective of both Moscow and Beijing.

    The quotes in this article were all actually said by the president, but some parts of the interview in which the president spoke even more frankly about Taiwan and Europe’s strategic autonomy were cut out by the Elysée.”

    Another Italian politician Paolo Bernini, an MP for the Five Star Movement (M5S) speaking in parliament on the 12th anniversary of the attacks said that the official version of the event has been “proved wrong from every point of view”. He added:

    “It’s clearly false and by now, the world has realized.”

    and

    “We will probably never know the truth, but it is definitely completely different to the story told by mainstream media. In which case you can say that everything that you know is false and, as the American phrase goes, ‘It was an inside job’,”

    On Twitter he wrote:

    “If someone can show me a video where you can clearly see the plane hitting the Pentagon (the most watched place in the world)…I will resign,”

    It's interesting that Seymour Hersh, a Jew, should mistake someone named Mordechai for an Arab.

Even the trolls commenting here at The Unz Review like to use the name Mordechai as an insult, for example when trying to imply that some other commenter is a closet Jew.
    As for your list of reliable sources, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to repeat what you, Ron Unz, have said once about this matter: the mainstream media is still many times more reliable than "alternative" sources, and that would include at least some of the people you listed.
    John Mearsheimer, though enjoying some mainstream transit, is extremely problematic as a thinker. In the case of the Ukraine war, it's dubious that Russia is being more 'realist' than the U.S., to use his terminology. Moral arguments which are sometimes used by some of the pro-Russia faction have no place in Mearsheimer's theory. If he were really right, the war would have been over by now. It's hardly 'realist' to start a war which is lasting over a year with no end in sight. Putin's decision was based on offensive wishful thinking, not offensive realism. The U.S. on the other hand has sacrificed no American lives and very little economic health so far, so how can you say that it's not 'realist' to have done what it has done?
    Douglas MacGregor is merely a military expert, so he can't be relied on in any other subject. The problem is that his utterances have revealed him to be very influenced by non-military issues of an ideological nature. In one video quoted by Mike Whitney on his piece "The Plan to Wreck America", MacGregor makes a fool of himself by vituperating against a fake George Soros document as though it were real. That was illuminating regarding MacGregor's mental make-up and possible motivations and how poorly he can discern what is real and what is not.

    The foreign policy of China and the United States are completely different. In a nutshell:

    China builds stuff around the world. China builds roads, railroads, ports, dams, and water treatment plants. They try to avoid taking sides among political parties in foreign countries.

    The United States does the exact opposite. We blow stuff up around the world. We instigate and fund attempts to overthrow existing governments that aren't obeying us and fund proxy wars. We have become the worlds mafia.

    South America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa have a choice to make. Do they want their future to be guided by a government that builds stuff, or a government that blows stuff up? It's not too late for Germany, France, and Italy to see the light but I think they are going to elect to go down with the US ship.

    These countries are managed by select classes of technocrats , demagogues media bosses and academics . All of them trace their education to US or west . They speak English . They watch CNN or BBC . They read NYT or WSJ . Their local English school and universities prepare them to copy English accent ,learn the cant and slang , use the ideas that are in currency in the west . They read local English papers who copy and paste American or European ideas and amplify with local focus on regional rivalries that are created by the west ( Kashmir where elites of India and Pakistan fight ) .

    It’s possible that these classes might find themselves at the receiving ends if and when China Russia Iran disappeared as resistors .

    Usurper/deadbeat William of Orange couldn't borrow money because everyone knew he wasn't good for it.

    Therefore he made a Bank of England which would lend to him anyway and not do anything stupid like ask him to pay it back.

    BoE did this without itself going bankrupt through fractional reserve, also known as legalized counterfeiting. It would give Orange money the bank itself didn't have.

    England was induced to give BoE its gold, to fractionally reserve against, because Orange outlawed everyone else's banknotes.

    --

    Nobody uses gold anymore so you've forgotten the transaction costs, such as wear on the coin. BTC makes it legible again.

    When you spend BTC there's an overt, explicit transaction cost. You have to pay the miners a tip to process your payment. As such you want to make few, large transactions, not many, small transactions.

    Enter a bank. The bank would hold your BTC for you and handle payments cheaply. You would buy meat for dinner with a BTC banknote (I'm fairly sure this is wholly legal at this point) and at the end of the month the bank would aggregate and settle your balances in one large transaction. Instead of 30 transactions for fresh meat, you would have two: one to the bank, and one to the grocery store. The bank would take a subscription fee to pay its employees and you would save money.

    You can of course go back to BTC directly at any time.

    Unless a William of Orange outlaws paying fees with coinage, of course. Which DC no longer has the political will to do.

    --

    Blaming the victim is good; usury isn't a crime, it's doing the society a favour.
    If you don't want victims you have to use inegalitarian bans. Some folk can't safely use debt and can't be allowed to take out loans, regardless of how much interest they charge.

    You can do a fun reverse thing.
    Make everyone a limited liability corporation. If you run out of money all your loans simply poof out of existence. Automate bankruptcy.
    If you want to put up collateral or risk debtor's prison, you need a license.

    Seems like persecution. Except: make it so you're allowed to decline to offer a loan for any reason. Freedom of association.
    Who would agree to loan to someone who doesn't have to pay it back? (Except idiots who deserve to lose all their money?)

    Ron Unz is kind of infatuated with Jeffery Sachs Resume.

    Thanks to propaganda masters and his handlers, Jeffery Sachs (with emphasis on “Professor” and “Columbia”) is emerging as a righteous whistleblower, rebel, icon or rogue elephant from the ashes of a disastrous past.

    A failed economist, advisor to Borris Yelstin, and the Polish government for his famous belt tightening advice (Slogan of Harvard boys/Brothers) and later fired from his position.

    Self proclaimed Chairman of a so-called Covid Commission of a magazine (Lancet) whose members were mostly economists, engineers, politicians, and a librariean. Of course the funding came from the “Generous” contribution of Rockfeller and “Dr”. Bill Gates who always is in the front lines of Vaccines cures (if you are overweight get a vaccine or if you are overjoyed, get a vaccine to make you normal).

    Jeffery found shelter in the UN as a Sustainable Czar. An economist not knowing anything about environmental topics.

    Then remerged or repackaged (to borrow a phrase from one of the commentators on UNZ site as a whistleblower without feeling the pain of being canceled from social media, bank accounts and fully intact etc….. While the real one suffered consequences.

    Now emerging as a political contributor or a covert spokesman of Alphabetical Agencies. I call it infiltrator to popular podcasts like Duran, Russel Brand … while newly minted credentials. He should stick with his economic models which historically are wrong.

    Immediately, after the Nord stream sabotage, most of the independent thinking population had guessed the major culprits with the exception of Norway. Now Jeff is promoting himself that he was told back in October by reliable sources about the major players involved. Sorry, Jeff no one told me but it was obvious to someone like me.

    Expect future commentary by Jeffery on Balloons, UFOs, man made earthquakes in Turkey/Syria, Draught in selected countries. He is currently being briefed by the appropriate agencies/journalists.

    The most fascinating propaganda (a new one) is that he is first invited to TV shows and during filming abruptly disconnected for maximum propaganda values. Just to promote this outspoken person as a rebel. Why on earth is he selectively invited (thanks to agencies or groups?). Has anyone thought about this new technique to cut Jeffery off and later keep inviting him on a different channels. Why they dont invite likes of Chris Hedges or Scott Ritter, or Doug Macgregor ? who has better qualification than an economist.

Arguably the most incandescent nugget in Hersh’s narrative...
  • @Eagle Eye
    @Odyssey


    I don’t know what the point is to relativize Hersh’s text.
     
    "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus" was a useful maxim developed by an earlier civilization during a period when it was still going strong.

    Why is Hersh spouting off about technical details that are obviously fictitious and could have been verified through simple enquiries, but were not? Either Hersh was fed this information and did not check it, or Hersh himself is fabulating. In either case: what else is Hersh fabulating about that may be less readily detected by outsiders? Hersh's error/falsehood puts us on notice that there is something squirrely going on.


    Everyone agrees that the US (Pentagon and/or CIA) organized that explosion ...
     
    No doubt the U.S. "organized" the explosions. But if "everyone agrees" on this already, what exactly does Hersh's great disclosure add to our knowledge? The real objective of Hersh publishing his piece at this time - creating his own Substack account for this purpose - is to (1) distract from likely involvement by the UK, Poland and possibly Germany itself in the planning and execution of the action, and (2) conversely, to drag in Norway.

    Norway obviously stands to gain financially from becoming a virtual monopoly supplier of non-LPG natural gas to Western Europe, and in fact opened a pipeline to Germany almost simultaneously with the demise of NS 1 and NS 2. For Norway to take an active part in sabotaging a pipeline supplying its most important European NATO partner seems inconsistent with Norway's traditionally low-key stance. On the other hand, Norway could have been inveigled into participation by a cabal made up of warmongers in Oslo in cahoots with Germany's genocidal Green's and their trans-Atlantic sponsors.


    ... with the knowledge of Biden.
     
    Is the personal "knowledge of Biden" even ascertainable at this point?

    It is known that someone from the Baltics assisted in this. What difference does it make if the Norwegians did it ...

     

    Nice try, but Norway is still not a Baltic country. On the other hand, alone among the old NATO members, Norway has an actual land border with Russia, which traditionally has encouraged caution in international affairs while maintaining strong NATO ties.

    and the Poles gave them jet fuel or vice versa?

     

    Nice try at misdirection - why are you suddenly introducing jet fuel as a red herring? Or is this an unintentional slip?

    Does it fundamentally change anything in the whole story if it is established that something was thrown from a boat and not from a plane.
     
    Yes. It betrays falsehood in a key detail

    that Hersh treated as important ...
     
    Again, "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus." Look it up.

    What is the significance of this or that box being thrown into the water?

     

    You tell me. Hersh himself decided to give great play to this detail. WHY?

    The relativization of Hersh’s text is an attempt to create confusion, ...
     
    "Relativization"? In other words, "nothing to see here, move on, move on!" Got it. Let's not look at what happened, just recite the sacred narrative.

    Thanks. Christianity is based on the Bible which says he was Son of God, the half of his chromosomes normally supplied by a human father was supplied by God's power, the Holy Spirit.

    This did not make him God. He was born mortal and had to work out his salvation like everybody else. It was possible for him to sin but he did not.

    Heb 5:7 "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared".

    Though he was a great man, he admitted that he got all his ideas from God his Father, and admitted that he could only do miracles because the power of his Father, the Holy Spirit, was working through him. He said "Of mine own self I can do nothing". John 5:19 - 30.

    Trinitarians have elevated him to Godhead which implies "that his actions could not be replicated", as you correctly say, and this elevation destroys the power of his example to inspire us to attempt to imitate him.

    We should seek forgiveness from those against whom we have sinned, but if they won't forgive us, or are dead, then God will forgive. The apostle Paul falsely accused and participated in the murder of Christians before his conversion, but God forgave him, and king David, who killed Uriah the Hittite.

    We must accept Jesus as our saviour, but we must also have faith that Jesus will return to establish the kingdom of God on this earth after man's godless stewardship of this earth ends in a total fiasco, the possibility of which is being debated in this UNZ thread.

    He had to have the full set of chromosomes to be a human being exactly like us Heb 2:14. If his mother was a virgin, God had to supply the other half through His Holy Spirit creative power, which is what the Bible says, but they would only have produced human characteristics if expressed. He cetainly got his mitochondrial DNA from his mother.

    The Muslims correctly believe in a monotheistic concept, that Allah alone is God, but they do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. The Bible says the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob alone is God. The Moslems were not descended from Isaac and Jacob, but from Abraham via Ishmael.

    The Arians believe that Jesus Christ pre-existed his conception, but that he had been created some time prior to that conception. I think the truth is that Jesus did not exist before he was conceived, except in the purpose or plan of God, The Logos.

    The Cathars were Manichaean-Gnostic. I do not know if they were Arian, but they were badly, cruelly treated.

The service does not appear to accept cash as payment, offering clients the option of paying with a major credit card or via PayPal.

  • “During the war, India and other former colonies had exported raw materials and built up huge government savings in exchange for these raw materials. And, as [part of] the sterling area, they were obliged to spend all of these savings on British manufactures.”

    That gave a lot of room to the British to meet its deficts in relation to new world and Europe.
    Now those savings earned by the 3 rd world return to US to fianance Amercian welfare at home and warfare abroad.
    Often these dollar savings cant be used to establish commercial relation between any two of the 3 rd world countries without going through NY bank. 3 rd world doesnt own its own labors nor its resources . Unlimited capacity and control over the production and possession of dollars have avoided any possibility or pitfalls of managing trade defictis in respect to any country . Dollar is needed like gold or silver or fossil fuel is needed by other countries . Its a system that the figures forcing this arrangemnt divested of any underlying value coudldn’t even imagine in 1973.
    Swap and accecpatnce of any currency for bilateral trade will revert the system to the pre industrial era establishing a level playing field for the weak and underdeveloped . It will also stop lootimg and parking and fleeing of capital .Two way open system will not favor that . Europe managed this by allowing only one way system by arbitrary regualion ,deceptive laws,and punituve forces .Europe kept the industries, finances and bankings of the colonies separate from its domestic markets and from the domestic competition at the same time controlling the banking ,finance and industries of the colonies . Though the ownerships belonged to the local in later years . But it was like owning dollars of today – no real power. Ameriac digitalized the conccepts through the revolving door of the dollars but its flow ,direction ,and uses still stayed within the purview of American needs and whims .

    Its interesting that the menace of sovereign currency was not appreciated before by the general public until now .

    Also the slow relentless atatck on dollars are not being met with new ideas and tools by US .Because it has none that will work and sametime protect its hegemony,lifestyle of the elite ,and the prerogative of arbitrary application of the plastic standard to the rest . When it goes down,it will bring S Korea,Japan, Austarlai and western Europe with it . It will try its best to mainatin stranglehold on these countries .
    May be Japan and S Korea can see this and want to acquire the nuclear capabilities though sold as deterrnat against China or NK.

  • It has never been the play of a free market .US stopped the growth of Japanese economy in 80 at a time when capitalism was worshipped as if it were God without rival. US imposes sanctions on trades over violations of its policies that have military objectives . It allows certain behaviors and doesnt allow certain that can compete with its growth and profits . The modus operandi involves forces,coups, and sanctions. It doesnt allow market takes its course in the defense or financial- banking sectors. These are bolstered and rescued and maintained by printing money ,zero inflation, tax subsidies and by forcing other countries to spend their earnings or theur loans on defense purchases or on finanical service purchase . It forces opening of foreign nation’s vital sectors and closes the Amerucan vital sectors to foreigners. It invokes issues of threat to security for Chinese tech so that China cant penetrate or spread . It allows myriad corruptions expressed in jargon and neologism to help off shore looting and off shore parking of profits .
    It always hedges and treats its own priniples in contrasting fashions depending on the countries involved: allowing India to trade,buy and manufacture products but wont make same decisions in relation to powerless other countries . It openly works with corporations in two way revolving door manners and still conjures up existences of State owned enterprises only in relation to China,Russia,Iran ,in order to rail against them and inflame negative attitudes domestically.

    Respones of Mughal to famine—-

    From same book- Ghosh, K. C. (1944) Famines in Bengal- 1770-1943. Calcutta: Indian Associated Publishing.

    [MORE]

    “It may be highly interesting and profitable to study them by comparison with those undertaken in the Badshahi Amal — the regime of the Moghul Emperors. There was a great personal touch in such affairs which is quite absent with the British Rulers, residing six thousand miles away from the places of occurrence.

    For the reign of Emperor Shahjehan (Famine in the Bombay Presidency in 1629-30) the following eloquent testimony is on record :

    For two successive years the rains failed and the morta- lity and depopulation caused thereby were very great. The Emperor Shah Jehan was then at Burhanpur… He ordered poor houses to be opened at Burhanpur, Surat and Ahmedabad for the relief of the famished, and food and money distributed. All taxes were remitted for two years.

    Next we come to the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb (Report of past famine in the N.-W. Provinces by Girdlestone, Allaha- bad, 1868) and the famine of 1661

    Aurangzeb personally superintended the relief of his subjects, one of his plans being to bring grain on a large scale from Bengal and the Punjab… Several things tend to prove that the calamity was severe. The Emperor opened his treasury and granted money without stint.

    FAMINES IN BENGAL

    He gave every encouragement to the importation of corn and either sold it at reduced prices or distributed it gratuitously amongst those who were too poor to pay. He also promptly acknowledged the necessity of remitting the rents of his cultivators and relieved them for the time being from the burden of other taxes. The vernacular chronicles of the period attribute the salva- tion of millions of lives, and the preservation of many provinces, to his strenuous exertions.

    He (Alamgir) was ably seconded by at least one of the great Hindu chiefs of the time, the Maharana of Udaipur. (Col. Brooke’s Report : Famine in 1868-69) :

    The first famine in Rajputana, the account of which, in consequence of its intensity, has been handed down to us in writing, and not by tradition, occurred in (Sambat 1717) a.d. 1661. The memorial of it is preserved in the beautiful marble bund 1 erected at Kankrowli in Mey war at an expense of a million sterling by the Maha RanaRaj Singh of Oodeypore to save his people during the dire calamity.”m

    The Tughlaq Dynasty under Muhammad bin Tughluq held power during the famine centered on Delhi in 1335–42. The sultanate offered no relief to the starving residents of Delhi during this famine. Pre-colonial famines in the Deccan included the Damajipant famine of 1460 and the famines starting in 1520 and 1629. The Damajipant famine is said to have caused ruin both in the northern and southern parts of the Deccan. The 1629-32 famine in the Deccan and Gujarat, was one of the greatest in India’s history. In the first 10 months of 1631 an estimated 3 million perished in Gujarat and one million in the Deccan. Eventually the famine killed not only the poor but the rich as well. More famines hit the Deccan in 1655, 1682 and 1884. Another famine in 1702–1704 killed over two million people. The oldest famine in Deccan with local documentation sufficiently well-preserved for analytical study is the Doji bara famine of 1791-92. Relief was provided by the ruler, the Peshwa Sawai Madhavrao II, in the form of imposing restrictions on export of grain and importing rice in large quantities from Bengal via private trading, however the evidence is often too scanty to judge the ‘real efficacy of relief efforts’ in the Mughal period.

    During Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s reign, we had the appalling famine of 1630-1631. In India a failure of the seasonal rains had always meant famine, in the precise sense of a deficiency of food throughout the area affected. From time to time the Moslem chroniclers record the horrors of famine in one region or another, but their descriptions are rhetorical rather than precise, and now for the first time we are in a position to check their rhetoric by the observations of Europeans on the spot. The monsoon of 1630 failed almost completely over a tract comprising Gujarat and Ahmadnagar, with portions of Bijapur and Golconda, and before the end of the year the local stock of food was exhausted. Supplies were available elsewhere, but it would have been impossible to bring them to the heart of the affected region, because transport animals need food and water along their routes, while the country was bare of grass, and the streams and ponds were dry. The choice before the population thus lay, as the chronicles show it always lay, between flight and starvation. The former alternative was chosen by the more energetic, and the country was largely depopulated ; many of those who remained died of starvation, sometimes evaded by suicide, or postponed by robbery and by cannibalism. The official record of the reign tells us that ‘ men began to devour each other, and the flesh of a son was preferred to his love ’ ; a Dutch merchant, who lived through the calamity, noted that ‘ men lying in the street, not yet dead, were cut up by others, and men fed on living men, so that even in the streets, and still more on road journeys, men ran great danger of being murdered and eaten.’
    No one rose in revolt against Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan either.

    The famine of 1631 does not stand by itself. The sources of information are very incomplete, but we know that famine conditions prevailed with varying intensity in one part of India or another in 1636, in 1643, in 1645, in 1646, in 1648, in 1650, in 1659, and, over an exceptionally wide area, in 1661. The extent and intensity of the calamity of 1631 stand out ; but the record we have given forbids us to think of famine as something outside the ordinary experience of the time. We must regard it rather as a spectre in the background, always visible to peasants, labourers and artisans, and coming forward from time to time to wreck the social and economic life of one region or another.

    Mughal officials took no long term measures to fight famines in Kashmir, and the land tax system of Mughal India often contributed to the scale of famines by depriving Indian peasants of much of their harvest in the good years, denying them the opportunity to build up stocks.

    Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (built Taj Mahal), in the year 1628, he spent loads of money for Nawroz (Persian New year celebrations) where Mughal nobles were given titles and expensive gifts. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan gifted his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal, Rs 5 million and Rs 2 million to her daughter, Imperial princess Jahanara!!! To get this in perspective again, in those days, a bullock cart driver in India would earn Rs 3.5/ month, a barber in India in those days would earn about Rs 0.5 (50 paise per month). And these Mughal elites are splurging wealth built on overtaxed farmers. But when a famine appeared in two years later in the Indian regions of Golconda, Malwa, Ahmednagar and Gujrat saw a horrifying famine which took the lives of 7.4 million people, the same Emperor spent a total of Rs 100000 on his people. So lets get this in perspective about this Mughal Emperor scumbag. Gifts Rs 5 million on his favourite wife, 2 million on his spoilt daughter but spends just Rs 0.1 million total on his people for a famine which killed 7.4 million Indians!!!. And guess what, he himself was responsible for this famine!! because in his military campaigns down south he burnt down the crops of the farmers. So he was personally responsible for the death of 7.4 million people!! Of course they were foreigners, they had come to loot and enjoy life on the cream of the impoverished nation.

    False. In any famine, pre British or British, there was no shortage of food overall in India. It was only a particular part of India which faced food shortage. The problem was taking food from where food was abundant to where food was in shortage. That is exactly why the railways was built.
    As far as exporting grain, that was carried out by independent traders including Indian traders and the Government wisely did not interfere because interference would have destroyed traders which would be detrimental to farmers in the future if the traders who bought their grain were destroyed.
    While the traders were exporting grain they had already purchased, the British Indian government was importing grain from other parts of the World to send to the famine struck areas.

    This "export of excess grain" is a common trick and lies used with those who have propaganda in their minds.

    So?

    This was the way trade deficits against Europe and America were balanced by trade surplus of India and China against Europe and America
     
    More bullshit. That is impossible. Trade surplus from India and China was tiny compared to the trade deficit with the USA.
    Only a tiny insignificant percentage of British trade was with India or China, you stupid monkey. Most of British trade was with the rest of Europe and the USA. Most people in India and China were too poor to buy British goods. British goods were cheaper in the earlier era but that also meant that more poor Indians could now afford cloth, made cheap thanks to machines developed by British ingenuity, most travelers to India before British rule wrote about the general poverty of the people, that the common man could not afford cloth to cover themselves in winter, for the masses, cheap British cloth was a boon. But this lasted only for a short period of time as very soon, India soon had her Industrial Revolution and many Indians opened modern Cloth mills using British powerloom technology while Britain moved towards more high end products not affordable to most Indians.

    From http://www.friesian.com/british.htm
    Another lesson to be read off the trade figures is that a relatively small fraction of British trade involved colonies that would later constitute the “Third World.” Indeed, the only trade surpluses in the table are with India, Africa, the West Indies, and the Far East, which might give some heart to Marxist claims that British colonies, especially India, were the outlet for Capitalist “excess production.” However, the trade surpluses are small, and overall British trade with India and the other colonies is hardly larger than with the much, much smaller populations of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. No serious argument can be made that the likes of Australia and New Zealand, with their own autonomous governments and protective tariffs, were being “exploited” by Great Britain. Instead the largest British export market is simply with the rest of Europe. Indeed, Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada, etc. are the places where more people would have enough money to buy British goods.

    From
    The Trade Relations Between England And India 1600 1896 by C.J. Hamilton

    Those who are familiar with Indian eco- nomic opinion will be aware that there exists a widespread belief among the Indian people that the industrial prosperity and development of the
    country has, at various stages of her history, suffered heavily as the result of the trade policy imposed upon her.
    It is frequently alleged that India, before the days of British rule, possessed great and flourishing manufactures and that their downfall may be largely, if not wholly, traced to the
    selfish fiscal policy of the British Government.
    The period during which this harmful action is thought to have been most prominent is that extending over the last decades of the 18th century and the first decades of the 19 th century the period that is commonly described as embracing the years of the Industrial Revolution in England.
    Dutt, whose writings on the subject of Indian economic history probably exercise a wider influence in India than those of any other author, remarks, “ India in the 18th century was a great manufacturing as well as a great agricultural country, and the products of the Indian looms supplied the markets of Asia and of Europe. It is unfortunately true that the East India Company and the British Parliament, following the commercial policy of a hundred years ago, discouraged the import of certain Indian manufactures in the early years of British rule in order to encourage the rising manufactures of England. Their policy .... was to make India subservient to the industries of Great Britain, and to make the Indian people grow raw produce mainly in order to supply material for the looms and manufactories of Great Britain. This policy was pursued with unwavering resolution and with fatal success.” (“ Economic History of
    India,” p. viii.)
    The methods by which this destruction of Indian industry were said to have been carried out were in the main a series of tariff laws excluding, or heavily penalizing, the import of Indian goods into England while subjecting the Indian manufacturer to the full foi'ce of English competition in the home market. When, at a later date, England had adopted free trade she is said to have again crippled the industrial expansion of India by enforcing upon her a free trade policy,
    and, in particular, by the imposition of an excise duty upon cotton fabrics as the result of which the nascent machine industries of India are thought to have been disabled from competing on equal terms with the rivals of China and Japan.
    I believe the theory so generally current, which attributed the passage of India’s Golden Age of manufacturing prosperity to England’s commercial policy, to rest almost entirely upon a one-sided and inaccurate interpretation of economic history.
    As long as this misapprehension lasts, so long will the sense of injury and injustice continue to which it has given rise. It is not the purpose of this book to attempt a vindication of British commercial policy in India. A dispassionate study of the facts, however, must make it abundantly plain that India was never a great manufacturing country, except in respect of hand spinning and weaving.
    Hand spinning has indeed almost entirely passed away, even in India, but hand weaving has never been destroyed. As late as 1894, a third of the cotton yarn spun in the Bombay mills as
    well as practically all the yarn imported from England was woven into cloth on the hand looms of the village weavers. By the end of the 18th century India was beginning to lose her export markets and early in the 19th century the producers of the finer cotton goods were being driven even from the home market. But this was the inevitable result of an unequal fight between the handicraftsman and the machine product. The high English import duties were neither directed against the Indian cotton manufacturers nor did they play any really important part in determining the outcome.

    The consideration of the effect of the tariff upon Indian manufacture is the chief topic of this book.

    Periodically England would institute commissions and investigate the nature of the social, economic problems, worsening mortality morbidity , life expectacmy , increased level of ( paltry ) education, variance in food prouduction,and rain fall and submit reports. Those reports were self serving. The reports would blame the local or the climate,or the casteism or religious tensions or even earler rulers.

     

    Blaberrings of a diseased shameless whore who is addicted to lying. I have gone through loads of these reports. They could not be called self serving. And hardly were religious tensions or caste blamed. You are farting whorefarts out of your diseased and used behind. Many of these reports were quite critical of the British Government and the attitude of these reports was "we are not doing enough for the benefit of India".

    America does same .They try best by using the jargon to hide the causes of the problems until it is obvious.
     
    Post WW2 America and British Empire were very different from each other. Entities completely opposite in mentality.

    Like British ,US also tried to blmae the earleir rulers for the existing problems .
     
    This is actually what the Muslims do. Having a history built on naked plunder, conquests, mass murder and rape, and having no shame about this, they justify their evil actions by blaming the poor hapless victims. Americans must have learnt this from the Muslims, not the British.

    False, that is from outdated false data, famines were far more common, before when the British ruled India.
    FAMINES IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT, 1500 to 1767 with historical references.

    http://www.vinlandmap.info/india-famine/

    Click on the link of a year to check out historical reference. It seems famines might have been far more common in Pre British India than British India.

    “It has become common in discussions of famine in the Indian sub-continent to state that Mike Davis, in “Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World” (2001) “points out that here were 31 serious famines in the 120 years of British rule compared with 17 famines in the 2,000 years before British rule.”
    That “120 years” should give a clue to a snag with the claim: its source, as Davis states quite clearly, is a preliminary study of the worldwide history of famine made by Cornelius Walford for the Statistical Society of London back in 1878, just over 120 years after the Battle of Plassey. In 1874, Charles Blair’s “Indian famines: Their historical, financial and other aspects …” had noted a significant problem: “… reliable records are only available from the date of British rule in India; and it will be seen … that subsequent to this time these disasters have been very frequent.”
    Suspecting, as I attempted to edit some India-related Wikipedia articles a few years ago, that modern technology would make it much easier to find pre-Plassey information, I decided to keep a spreadsheet of references to famines in the period from 1500, when the Portuguese were beginning to expand Europe’s first-hand knowledge of India, to 1767, the year before the new British administration in Bengal faced and failed its first major famine challenge (as it happens, others were working on a similar project at the same time, but the fascinating Famine and Dearth website- sadly not always online- has different priorities from mine).”

    During the era of British rule in India (1765–1947), 12 major famines occurred (in 1769–1770, 1783–1784, 1791–1792, 1837–1838, 1860–1861, 1865–1867, 1868–1870, 1873–1874, 1876–1878, 1896–1897, 1899–1900, and 1943–1944) which lead to the deaths of millions people (Maharatna, 1996).–
    The fact is before the Europeans came, records were not well kept. But famines have been happening In India way before the British came, it were the British who stopped famines in India.

    From 1500 AD to 1700 AD (pre British Islamic period) we have records of food scarcity and famine all these years
    1509, 1520, 1521, 1525, + 1526, 1527, 1528, 1539, 1540 to 1542, 1544, 1550, 1555-1556, 1557, 1550-ish, 1551 1552 1553 1554 1555 + 1556 1557 1558 1559, 1564, 1572 – 1573,1574-5, 1575, 1576, 1577, 1578, 1579, 1582+3, 1583,1585 etc. 1586 +7 1587, 1588, 1590, 1591, 1595, + 1596-8, 1597 + 1598, 1607-9, 1613, 1614 + 1615-6, 1616 + 1617, 1618, 1619, 1620s, 1622

    From 1700 AD to 1757 AD (Battle of Plassey when the British took nominal control of Bengal there have been records of famines or food scarcity in some part of India EVERY YEAR except 1713, 1714 and 1726. Let that sink in. Out of 56 years from 1700 to 1756 (pre-British period) there have been food scarcity or famine recorded in India for 53 years!!.

    oil is a resource. Access to oil is limited by powerful forces. Powerful forces attempt to regulate the price, quantity, quality, transport of oil to users acceptable to the powerful forces. Price of these resources and availability to them is gated by those with the power. Until recently the western forces had near total control over the gating and were able to access resources where ever the resources or facilities in the world were located .

    Your statement "West always finds someway to destroy the genuine and effective leaders or planner and create one they could buy,bribe,and control .Then they demonize the former and put on a pedestal the later until someone more malleable shows up" might have been True until the Russian red lines in Ukraine were crossed beginning in 2003?

    It looks very much to me like Russia, parts of Africa, China, Venezuela, Iran, and India have circumvented the damage intended by western nation sanctions and have taken it upon themselves to gate access to the resources inside the RAC_VII nations? Resources usually affects credit, financing, currency minerals, and markets. So we have resources accessible at only two gates: the West gate and the RAC_VII gate. The split seems to be RAC_VII 40% / RoW 60% which means the western world has lost access to 40% of the resources of the world?

    Hence there are two different gates in the world, the eastern gate and the RAC_VII gate of often sanctioned nations.

    It looks to me like because of sanctions, the RAC_VII nations developed and then established a RAC_VII only gateway, a trading block in native currencies between block nations only. Trading blocks are designed to facilitate shared access to energy, banking, food, technology and commodities among block members. RAC_VII may be about to add several nations very soon to the RAC_VII side of the world.
    Maybe John Walsh can explain why I have not seen the reduction in wall street pricing cause by the split in access to markets and resources? Energy,. banking, food and produced commodities in 40% of the world looks to be available only to, by and between RAC_VII nations; everything else most likely will need to find access through the long standing Western access gate. Sanctions generally close the gate to access to resources and facilities. IMO this split will likely cause inflation, supply chain scarcity and unemployment to occur.

    At this point, its difficult to see that Russia has lost anything except its limited access to western markets.

    After the defeat of Nawab of Bengal. company( EIC); loaded the treasury’s gold into more than 100 boats and sailed off .
     
    WTF???Where is the reference? Farted out of their ass? And what does this have to do with Global finance? When looting and ravaging the country was the culture in India at that time?

    Actually, the English over-estimated Indian royal wealth and they were actually quite disappointing with what they saw.

    The battle was fought on the 23rd of June, and on the 25th Colonel Clive with his troops arrived at Moorshedabad. On the next day, a meeting was held to confer about the stipulated moneys; when the chief officer of finance declared that the whole of Suraj-ad-dowla’s treasures was inadequate to the demand. “The restitution,” says Mr. Orme, “ with the donations to the squadron, the army, and the committee, amounted to 22,000,000 of sicca rupees, equal to 2,750,000l." The scantiness of the Bengal treasury was most unexpected, as well as most painful news, to the English; who had been accustomed to a fond and literal belief of Oriental exaggeration on the subject of Indian riches. With great difficulty were they brought to admit so hateful a truth. Finding at last that more could not be obtained, they consented to receive one half of the moneys immediately, and to accept of the rest by three equal payments, in three years. Even of the portion which was now to be received, it was necessary to take one third not in specie, which was all exhausted, but in jewels, plate, and other effects, at a valuation. Before the 9th of August, after a multitude of difficulties, the stipulated half, all but 584,905 rupees, was delivered and discharged.

    When Jaffier got possession of the vice-royalty by the dethronement and death of his master Suraj-ad-dowla, and when the English leaders were grasping the advantages which' the revolution placed in their hands, both parties, dazzled with first appearances, overlooked the consequences which necessarily ensued.
    The cupidity natural to mankind, and the credulity with which they believe what flatters their desires, made the English embrace, without deduction, the exaggerations of Oriental rhetoric on the riches of India ; and believe that a country which they saw was one of the poorest, was nevertheless the most opulent upon the surface of the globe. The sums which had been obtained from Jaffier were now wholly expended. “ The idea of provision for the future,” to use the words of a governor, seemed to have been lost in the apparent immensity of the sum stipulated for compensation of the Company’s losses at Calcutta.” No rational foresight was applied, as the same observer remarks, to the increased expenditure which the new connexion with the government of the country naturally produced ; and soon it appeared that no adequate provision was made for it. “ In less than two years it was found necessary to take up money at interest, although large sums had been received besides for bills upon the court of Directors.” The situation of Jaffier was deplorable from the first. With an exhausted treasury, an exhausted country, and vast engagements to discharge, he was urged to the severest exactions ; while the profusion with which he wasted his treasure upon his own person, and some unworthy favourites, was ill calculated to soothe the wretched people, under the privations to which they were compelled.

    Another, and that the most pernicious perhaps of all the errors into which Clive exerted himself to mislead the Company, was, the belief which he created, that India over-flowed with riches, the expectations he raised, and on which the credulous Company so fondly relied, that a torrent of treasure was about to flow into their laps. As such expectations were adverse to the best use and improvement of their resources, they only hastened that disappointment and distress which their inconsistency with the matters of fact rendered a necessary consequence.

    Under the feebleness of Shuja-ad-dowla, and the quarrels which occupied the Mahrattas at home, the Company enjoyed profound tranquillity in Bengal for a considerable number of years; and during the administrations of Mr. Verelst and Mr. Cartier, who occupied the chair till the elevation of Mr. Hastings, and were calm, unambitious men, few events of historical importance occurred. It was during a period like this, if ever, that the Company ought to have replenished their exchequer, and to have attained financial prosperity. During this period, on the other hand, financial difficulties were continually increasing ; and rose at last to a height which threatened them with immediate destruction. Doubtless, the anarchical state, in which, by the double government, the provinces were placed, contributed powerfully to impoverishment ; but the surplus revenue, with which the people of England were taught to delude themselves, was hindered by more permanent causes. Though no body should believe it, India, like other countries, in which the industrious arts are in their infancy, and in which law is too imperfect to render property secure, has always been poor. It is only the last perfection of government, which enables a government to keep its own expense from absorbing every thing which it is possible to extract from the people: and the government of India, under the East India Company, by a delegation of servants at the distance of half the circumference of the globe from control, was most unhappily circumstanced for economy.

    That is the dumbest bullshit I have ever read, famines were far more common in India BEFORE the railways than after the RAILWAYS. Even in Iran, the building of railways played a part in the eradication of famines but this happened much later than India. What many Britons were criticizing was the allowance of private trade but the British Indian Government was wise in not affecting private trade (most of them Indian traders) because ruining traders would be a sure short way to create another famine somewhere else as ruining traders meant ruining farmers in some other part of India.

    Governor General Lord Hardinge 1843 –“that the railways would be beneficial to the commerce, government and military control of the country”.
     
    So? there were other benefits to the railways. Railways as a way to reduce famines can be attested by Lord Lytton.

    At the close of 1877 a measure was introduced at the Legislative Assembly of the Indian Government, by Sir John Strachey, legislation to which, supplemented by the Acts previously passed in that year, was designed to provide for the future expenses cost of famines.
    In a work published by Sir John Strachey and his brother on ‘ The Finances and Public Works of India,’ it is written : ‘ A nobler, more humane, or wiser programme was never devised by any Government for the benefit of a country than that put forth by the Government of India in 1878 for the protection of India against this most terrible and ruinous and far-reaching of all natural calamities ; and until it is brought into far more complete operation than has hitherto been permitted, the most urgent of the duties of the British rulers of India to the vast population they have undertaken to govern will be left unfulfilled.’-
    It was Lord Lytton’s conviction, a conviction shared by all the leading men in India, that the wisest policy was, by the construction of a network of cheap railways and carefully planned works of irrigation, to do all that it was in the power of a Government to do to prevent the frightful calamities of famine to which India is still exposed.
    This policy was set forth in a speech delivered by Lord Lytton at the close of the Legislative Council held on December 27, 1877, a speech which Sir John Strachey has characterised as worthy ‘ to be remembered among the wisest utterances of Indian Governors.’
    The principles therein laid down may be understood from the following extracts from Lord Lytton.
    “ Of the countless suggestions made from time to time, and more especially during the present year, for rendering less bitterly ironical than it still seems, when read by the sinister light of recent events, that famous inscription on the huge granary built at Patna for ” the perpetual prevention of famine in these provinces” there are only three which merit serious consideration. They are firstly EMIGRATION, secondly Railways ; and thirdly, Irrigation Works."

    I will omit the discussion on Emigration as this would take up unnecessary space, however, Lord Lytton while nothing that emigration was not a solution only left the railways and irrigation as the practical options.

    WTF???Where is the reference? Farted out of their ass? And what does this have to do with Global finance? When looting and ravaging the country was the culture in India at that time?

    Actually, the English over-estimated Indian royal wealth and they were actually quite disappointing with what they saw.

    The battle was fought on the 23rd of June, and on the 25th Colonel Clive with his troops arrived at Moorshedabad. On the next day, a meeting was held to confer about the stipulated moneys; when the chief officer of finance declared that the whole of Suraj-ad-dowla’s treasures was inadequate to the demand. “The restitution,” says Mr. Orme, “ with the donations to the squadron, the army, and the committee, amounted to 22,000,000 of sicca rupees, equal to 2,750,000l." The scantiness of the Bengal treasury was most unexpected, as well as most painful news, to the English; who had been accustomed to a fond and literal belief of Oriental exaggeration on the subject of Indian riches. With great difficulty were they brought to admit so hateful a truth. Finding at last that more could not be obtained, they consented to receive one half of the moneys immediately, and to accept of the rest by three equal payments, in three years. Even of the portion which was now to be received, it was necessary to take one third not in specie, which was all exhausted, but in jewels, plate, and other effects, at a valuation. Before the 9th of August, after a multitude of difficulties, the stipulated half, all but 584,905 rupees, was delivered and discharged.

    When Jaffier got possession of the vice-royalty by the dethronement and death of his master Suraj-ad-dowla, and when the English leaders were grasping the advantages which' the revolution placed in their hands, both parties, dazzled with first appearances, overlooked the consequences which necessarily ensued.
    The cupidity natural to mankind, and the credulity with which they believe what flatters their desires, made the English embrace, without deduction, the exaggerations of Oriental rhetoric on the riches of India ; and believe that a country which they saw was one of the poorest, was nevertheless the most opulent upon the surface of the globe. The sums which had been obtained from Jaffier were now wholly expended. “ The idea of provision for the future,” to use the words of a governor, seemed to have been lost in the apparent immensity of the sum stipulated for compensation of the Company’s losses at Calcutta.” No rational foresight was applied, as the same observer remarks, to the increased expenditure which the new connexion with the government of the country naturally produced ; and soon it appeared that no adequate provision was made for it. “ In less than two years it was found necessary to take up money at interest, although large sums had been received besides for bills upon the court of Directors.” The situation of Jaffier was deplorable from the first. With an exhausted treasury, an exhausted country, and vast engagements to discharge, he was urged to the severest exactions ; while the profusion with which he wasted his treasure upon his own person, and some unworthy favourites, was ill calculated to soothe the wretched people, under the privations to which they were compelled.

    Another, and that the most pernicious perhaps of all the errors into which Clive exerted himself to mislead the Company, was, the belief which he created, that India over-flowed with riches, the expectations he raised, and on which the credulous Company so fondly relied, that a torrent of treasure was about to flow into their laps. As such expectations were adverse to the best use and improvement of their resources, they only hastened that disappointment and distress which their inconsistency with the matters of fact rendered a necessary consequence.

    Under the feebleness of Shuja-ad-dowla, and the quarrels which occupied the Mahrattas at home, the Company enjoyed profound tranquillity in Bengal for a considerable number of years; and during the administrations of Mr. Verelst and Mr. Cartier, who occupied the chair till the elevation of Mr. Hastings, and were calm, unambitious men, few events of historical importance occurred. It was during a period like this, if ever, that the Company ought to have replenished their exchequer, and to have attained financial prosperity. During this period, on the other hand, financial difficulties were continually increasing ; and rose at last to a height which threatened them with immediate destruction. Doubtless, the anarchical state, in which, by the double government, the provinces were placed, contributed powerfully to impoverishment ; but the surplus revenue, with which the people of England were taught to delude themselves, was hindered by more permanent causes. Though no body should believe it, India, like other countries, in which the industrious arts are in their infancy, and in which law is too imperfect to render property secure, has always been poor. It is only the last perfection of government, which enables a government to keep its own expense from absorbing every thing which it is possible to extract from the people: and the government of India, under the East India Company, by a delegation of servants at the distance of half the circumference of the globe from control, was most unhappily circumstanced for economy.

    They had the same issue in South India, India was poorer than what they thought.

    By the final overthrow of the French in the Carnatic, the British in that part of India had accomplished an object far greater than any to which, at the beginning of the contest, they had even elevated their hopes. To see the Carnatic under the Government of a chief, who should have obligations to them for his elevation, and from whose gratitude they might expect privileges and favour, was the alluring prospect which had carried them into action. They not only now beheld the man, whose interest they had espoused, in possession of the government of the country, but they beheld him dependent upon themselves, and the whole kingdom of the Carnatic subject to their absolute will.

    On the other hand Mohammed Ali looked upon himself as invested with all the dignity and power of Nabob; and the absolute ruler of the country. During the whole progress of the dispute the English had represented themselves as contending only for him ; had proclaimed that his rights were indisputable ; and that their zeal for justice was the great motive which had engaged them so deeply in the war. The Nabob, therefore, hesitated not to consider himself the master ; though a master owing great obligations to a servant who had meritoriously exerted himself in his cause. The seeds of dissatisfaction between the rulers of the Carnatic, abundantly sown in a fruitful soil, were multiplied by the penury of the country. The avidity, which made the English so long believe that every part of India abounded with riches, had filled them with hopes of a great stream of wealth, from the resources of the Carnatic. And although they had already experienced how little was to be drawn, and with how great difficulty, from the districts which had come into their power ; though they were also aware how the country had been desolated by the ravages of war, they still expected it to yield a large supply to their treasury, and accused and complained of the Nabob when their expectations were not fulfilled.

    Though I will add this one point in his discussion on Emigration, which shows the moral superiority of the British over the Mughals.

    "But for this very reason we cannot safely frame any plans for improving the condition of the Indian ryot in exclusive reliance on his spirit of adventure. And, although the exportation to foreign countries of large numbers of the people, without reference to their feelings and in opposition to their known inclination, is a policy which might possibly have been enforced by a Moghul Emperor, it is certainly not a policy which can be adopted by a British Government. "

    Anyways to the Railways and irrigation part, Lord Lytton's speech
    "After examining in detail the principles on which the development of railroads and irrigation works should be carried out, he summed up the policy in the following words : ‘ The Government of India is convinced, upon a careful review of its financial position and prospects, that the heavy obligations imposed upon it by the calamitous circumstances of recent years can only be discharged without serious risk to its financial stability by a strict and patient adherence to the principle affirmed in the financial measures we introduced last year, and developed in those which are now before the Council. That principle involves the enlargement, with adequate precautions, of the financial, and consequently also of the administrative, powers and responsibilities of the local Governments. In the next place, we believe that, if this principle be fairly carried into effect, the new imposts which the Council is now asked to sanction will, when added to the resources already created, provide the State with sufficient means for the permanent maintenance of a national insurance against famine, without heavily increasing the pecuniary burdens of its subjects. For the attainment of this object the material appliances we intend to promote, by means of additional revenue, are cheap railroads and extensive irrigation works. We are conscious of the reproach we should justly incur if, after such a declaration as I have now made, the prosecution of these necessary works were commenced, suspended, or relinquished according to the increased or relaxed pressure of annual circumstance or the intermittent activity of spasmodic effort. We therefore propose to entrust, in the first instance, to the local Governments the duty of framing a sufficient and carefully considered scheme of local railroad and irrigation works. We are prepared to provide them with the means whereby they may, from year to year work systematically forwards and upwards to the completion of such a scheme. The funds locally raised for this purpose will be locally applied. But provincial Governments will have to meet the cost of provincial famines out of provincial funds, to the fullest extent those funds can bear. They will find that thriftless expenditure in one year may involve the risk of diminished allotments in subsequent years; and I cannot doubt that the unavoidable recognition of this fact will make them wisely eager to spend the requisite proportion of their annual income upon well planned and carefully estimated railway and irrigation works, which will be their best insurance against the losses of famine, and the postponement of all administrative progress which famine generally entails. It will be the special duty of the Public Works Department of this Government to keep those objects constantly in view of the local Governments, and to assist them no less constantly in their endeavours to give a rational preference to really useful and remunerative works over those more captivating, but less compensating, subjects of expenditure which in all comparatively small communities so powerfully appeal to provincial pride, professional proclivities, or popular pleasure.
    ‘ The specific projects now announced to this Council I have not presumed to put forward as the enunciation of any new policy. On the contrary, I should have spoken with much more hesitation if I imagined myself to be treading upon ground not long since surveyed by experienced authorities ; and the strongest recommendation I can claim for the views I have expressed is that they differ in no important particular from those of the eminent statesmen have preceded me in the office I now hold. But Famine between the present and all previous occasions on which the Government of India has declared its policy and principles in reference to the prevention of famine, there is one essential difference which I am anxious to impress upon your attention. I can well imagine that many of those I am now addressing may be disposed to say to me: ” Your good intentions are possibly sincere ; but the path to the nethermost pit is already paved with good intentions. Promise is a good dog, but Performance is a better; we have often heard the bow-wow of the first ; we have yet to see the tail of the second. We have been told over and over again by the highest authorities that India is to be insured against famine in this way, or in that, but when famines come upon us we find that the promised way is still wanting. The current claims upon the activities and resources of the Government of India are so numerous, so pressing, so important, official forces and imperial funds so necessarily limited, that when once the daily, hourly strain of a great famine has been removed from a wearied administration and impoverished treasury, its fearful warnings are soon forgotten ; its disquieting ghosts are quickly exorcised by the conventional declaration of some unexceptionable principle ; its bitter memories decently interred beneath the dull hic jacet of a blue book ; and there, for all practical purposes, is an end of the matter.”"

    What happened was that during World War I , the paper industry in India suffered from the curtailment of imports of wood pulp . On the oth hand , immediately after WW1 saw large paper imports (described as dumping above) The British Raj Government responded to this mass imports of paper into by asking the Tariff Board of British India to enquire into the matter.
    From 1924-25 onward, the year of the first enquiry , the Tariff Board had conducted enquirie s on the Paper Industry in British India every seven years. On recommendations of the Tariff Board of British India, The British Raj Government of India granted government protection to Indian printing and writing paper by the Bamboo Paper Industry (Protection) Act of 1925.

    The most outstanding landmark in the history of the Indian Paper Industry was the protective duty of Rs.45 per ton imposed by the British Raj Government of India on imported pulp by the Bamboo Paper Industry (Protection ) Act o f 1932.

    Which again proves that Brazil has already lost to the Ashkenazim in the evolutionary wars. Brazilian DNA has dysgenically degenerated so much that they have created a legal system where they can’t even discuss the genetic basis of their problems or the eugenic/transhuman solution.
     
    Being a student of Richard Lynn yourself, as I am, it is rather surprising that you bet on the Ashkenazim as the eventual winners in the "evolutionary wars". Lynn himself is not so optimistic as to their fate, as can be deduced from the closing words of the book he devoted to the subject of the Jews and Jewish intelligence, The Chosen People:

    ...it is impossible to be other than pessimistic about the survival of the Jews as an ethnic group in the medium term. Israel will likely be lost as the Jewish homeland, as the numbers of Arabs increase and Jews emigrate. Elsewhere, apart from a small number of Hasidim, it seems likely that increasing numbers of Jews will lose their faith, marry non-Jews, and raise their children as Gentiles; more and more Jews will be assimilated with their Gentile host communities and lose their Jewish identity.
     
    Of course Lynn's prediction for the Jews' evolutionary dead-end future could be reversed with the implementation of your idea of sterilizing Brazilians and populating Brazil with Hasidim. That would certainly do it. Your idea reminds me of a similar proposal by Francis Galton, in his letter to the Editor of the Times of 1873, titled "Africa for the Chinese", with which I'm sure you're acquainted:

    My proposal is to make the encouragement of the Chinese settlements at one or more suitable places on the East Coast of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race. ...average negroes possess too little intellect, self-reliance, and self-control to make it possible for them to sustain the burden of any respectable form of civilization without a large measure of external guidance and support. The Chinaman is a being of another kind, who is endowed with a remarkable aptitude for a high material civilization. ...

    They are good-tempered, frugal, industrious, saving, commercially inclined, and extraordinarily prolific. They thrive in all countries, the natives of the Southern provinces being perfectly able to labor and multiply in the hottest climates. Of all known varieties or mankind there is none so appropriate as the Chinaman to become the future occupant of the enormous regions which lie between the tropics ...The Hindoo cannot fulfil the required conaditions nearly as well as the Chinaman, for he is inferior to him in strength, industry, aptitude for saving, business habits, and prolific power. The Arab is little more than an eater up of other men's produce; he is a destroyer rather than a creator, and he is unprolific.
     
    Obviously, Galton's proposal fell on deaf ears and now the whole world is faced with what some have called the "most important graph" (or the scariest): in this graph, the line of the demographic growth of the African population is exponential, whereas all other lines are flat or falling. So perhaps the real winners of the "evolutionary wars" will be the Negro race, a future which was chillingly predicted in the documentary "Idiocracy".

    The ironic thing about this, is that the Chinese psyche does not look to solve other people's problems.....ie they do not seek to be saviours, in the same way "white man's burden" did. I cannot be overly hard on the "white man", because their attitude is really descended from the tendencies of the Abrahamic faiths.

    So the Chinese are of a different civilisation and have a different way of thinking. As much as they do not have a missionary zeal to convert others to their way of thinking, they also do not search for "messiahs" to solve their problems. Essentially they want to be left alone to do what they want, and in their own way.

    They may be happy, or even flattered if other countries seek to learn from them, but there is no proselytising. This is clear to see in their foreign policy.

    Of course all this is an over generalisation, but I try to fit it into a nutshell.

    “In 1959, the British granted Singapore the right to self-government. At that time, its social, economic, and political environment was not vastly different from that of other former colonial countries. As an underdevelped “Third World” country, it was characterized by widespread poverty, low levels of education, high unemployment, and inadequate housing and health facilities. The primary aim of PAP, which won the general election in 1959 (and is still in power today), was to launch an industrialization program to create jobs (by breaking away from the limited growth opportunities of the entrepot system) and provide decent housing, basic medical care, and better educational opportunities for the broader society (Soon, Teck-Wong and C. Suan Tan. 1993. Singapore: Public Policy and Economic Development. Washington, DC: World Bank.).

    Considering Singapore’s status as a nascent small island state with a lack of natural resources; an underdeveloped economy without industrial capital; a multiethnic population and the concomitant social unrest; and a missing defense force while facing external security uncertainities, it is not surprising that, during the time of economic development and nation- building, significant state intervention evolved in both the economic and social life of Singapore, which still exists today. Singapore adopted a state capitalist approach to economic development and nation-building, which, in short, means that the government enters into business to create employ- ment and generate profits. Unlike the state capitalist sector created by other newly independent decolonized states (e.g., Indonesia) or post-rev- olutionary communist regimes (e.g., China), Singapore established state- owned enterprises that are run by wage-earning professional managers and disciplined by market forces, and they stay in business only if they are profitable”
