Its a process not an accident

Subject: It's a process not an accident.

It's a process not an accident. This economic experiment which, since Richard Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold and embarked the Free World on Free Trade economics, with ever decreasing restrictions and controls, which eventually plunged the world into the Lehman Banking crisis, a contagion from which we have never recovered, despite the band aid of Quantitative Easing.
Turn the clock back but no they say, you can't turn the clock back. We can't go back to the old days of financial stability, of people living within their means. We have to feed that monster consumerism, that trick to empty wallets to buy things we never knew we needed.
Who turned the clock forward and on the back of consumerism, decided to supply the credit struck consumer with cheap goods made in countries on the far side of the globe whilst local factories closed and the workers from those factories were thrown on the scrap heap to barely exist on benefits. Only now, as the second stage of the great experiment takes place, we discover we can't actually afford people on benefits.
Who became the arbiter of who would be the winners and who would be the losers.
The world design, mapped out in the boardrooms of Goldman Sachs and their ilk had a not so complicated scheme in which economic power was largely removed from national governance  and its concern for public interest, by the application of a global market place supplied by global players to pursue global interests
What happened to the national interest. The nation interest was sidelined. Governments bought into the concept of everlasting growth through expanding markets which could only be created by moving the source of production into these potential markets. The global wealth was shifted on purpose to stimulate global rather than national wealth.
Where were the local people fighting for the national interest. Once the shift in power moved from parliaments into the banks and sovereign funds located where the oil money consolidated, like a monitory slick with nowhere to go but back into buying parts of the old systems national artefacts and securities at prices which eradicated the local to second or third tier onlooker.
Who sold us this dummy 'internationalism'. The concept of looking beyond ones own boarders and visualising the potential of a business venture has been with us from the days of the silk trade. A legitimate barter of skills for raw materials is as old as man's first settlements and proved the great socialising force for communities to gather together. Internationalism, as the name predicts, is predicated on national entities recognising one another as individual entities. It's this recognition and respect for the national character which makes the history of international trade such a long one.
It differs from Globalisation in that in the global system, boarders and national States become superfluous. The trades are between automatous businesses, businesses free to choose their domicilium, to invent and reinvent themselves, to own no allegiance to anyone other than their shareholders. They are a layer above the layer of the state there are few rules, other than the ones they make for themselves, they are the Masters of the Universe.
Who invented Globalisation. Well they did. Robert Rubin. Henry Paulson. Lloyd Blankfein.
Alan Greenspan. Ben Bernanke. What do they have in common, Jewish parenthood and strong links to Goldman Sachs. Does this make for a conspiracy, who knows but it certainly looks suspicious and with the diaspora spread across the globe, it would be convenient for a group who hold themselves as 'chosen' to chose to exclude others, simply for being 'the others'.
