What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Trump's insane policies pushed by Wall Street towards China must end.

Wall Street is intent on bringing China down even if it hurts the rest of us and the world along with the Chinese people.


What would motivate anyone to want to create misery for an entire nation just to punish the people because of their accomplishments?


But, this insanity has actually been placed in writing and published in “Foreign Affairs Magazine,” the publication of the Foreign Affairs Council which is the voice of the Wall Street monopolists- the imperialists who are crying because Chinese socialism is proving its superiority over Wall Street’s beloved rotten capitalist system which is in a state of collapse. Ironically, the Chinese may be our only hope out of this multi-faceted crisis. But the Wall Street monopolists Gail to appreciate this.


Look at what these Wall Street parasites think is legitimate foreign policy:


“The United States has limited means of influencing China’s closed political system, but the diplomatic, economic, and military pressure that Washington can bring to bear on Beijing will put Xi and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) he leads under enormous strain. Indeed, a prolonged period of strategic confrontation with the United States, such as the one China is currently experiencing, will create conditions that are conducive to dramatic changes.”


What a barbaric foreign policy this government has.


China never hurt us or did anything to us.


This barbaric foreign policy is long-standing U.S. policy towards China... most recently stemming from the repression “The China Hands” were subjected to when they tried to provide us with an honest assessment of what was going on in China dating back to the Chinese people’s struggle against Japanese imperialism and their struggle against a reactionary fascist nationalism Wall Street tried to shove down their throats.


We were told by “The China Hands” that Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party along with the People’s Liberation Army were the legitimate organs reflecting what most people in China wanted: socialism. Yet, to this very day, the United States government which is an appendage of Wall Street’s power, insists that it has the right to cause misery for the Chinese people simply because they chose the road to socialism.


Steve Bannon, Pompeo and Trump are merely extending the backwards thinking of previous administration s which not only rejected the honest information of “The China Hands” but chose to persecute and punish them as part of McCarthy’s red-baiting anti-Communist witch-hunts that have made the United States a rogue nation in the eyes of the Chinese people and most of the rest of the world.


I would also point out that had United States Senator Claude Pepper who was on the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee who had a very healthy view of developments in China joined Henry Wallace as his running mate on the Progressive Party ticket, we might be living in a much saner country with a healthy respect for China and all those choosing the road to socialism.


Too bad Bernie Sanders doesn’t have a healthier perspective towards Chins, too.
