THE VIRTUOUS TARIFFS
by Pat Buchanan
William McKinley, the veteran of Antietam who gave his name to the McKinley Tariff, declared four years before being elected president: “Free trade results in our giving our money…our manufactures and our markets to other nations. …It will bring widespread discontent. It will revolutionize our values.”
Campaigning in 1892, McKinley said, “Open competition between high-paid American labor and poorly paid European labor will either drive out of existence American industry or lower American wages.”
Substitute “Asian labor” for “European labor,” and is this not a fair description of what free trade did to U.S. manufacturing these last 25 years? The results have been some $12 trillion in trade deficits, arrested wages for our workers, six million manufacturing jobs lost, 55,000 factories, and plants shut down.
McKinley’s future vice president Teddy Roosevelt agreed with him: “Thank God I am not a free trader.”
What did the Protectionists produce?
From 1869 to 1900, GDP quadrupled. Budget surpluses ran for 27 straight years. The U.S. debt was cut two-thirds to 7 percent of GDP. Commodity prices fell 58 percent. America’s population doubled, but real wages rose 53 percent. Economic growth averaged 4 percent a year.
And the United States, which began this era with half of Britain’s production, ended it with twice Britain’s production.

DISINFORMATION
by Radu M Oleniuc
So now I am a disinformation agent.
I think those 150 bn (billion) dollars (Iran) do not belong to a terrorist state and were rightfully confiscated. Obama considered them as “seized”, and returned those to a terrorist state massively funding propaganda through various proxies (NGOs, newspapers, corrupt journalists and officials), yet I am spreading disinformation by calling this appeasement simply as it is: treason to our values and civilization by helping an adversary trying to destroy the west.
Not only that we as the western world should have not gave “their money back”, we should have bombed their oil fields to pieces and send the bill for the rest. Because those 150 billions are just a small fraction of what we spend on our defense. Not fair? Well, the next time when an Iranian ideologue trains a bunch of suicidal zealots or wants to bribe a journalist using US dollars obtained from oil and gas, he would think twice, because he would know that his oil refinery will be leveled the next day. With his GSM tower antenna as well, because his ideology belongs to the Middle Ages when electricity was not yet invented. He could start planning his attacks with goats, but without any kind of help from mobile phones or GPS. Or SWIFT system, dollars or banks. He could use rupees, rials, renminbi or whatever he wants, but if he uses dollars, then he should know that there is always this risk.
Vladimir Ilich Lenin tactic where ‘The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them” has to stop.
