After they closed factories and sold the equipment, we saw tool and dies to create things from scratch, auctioned off to China. We've been left, except in the military production facilities, with about as much means as the Cubans had after years of embargo. It's been like reinventing the wheel here. The most basic of things have to be imported, like in colonial days. But we have no monarch to rebel against now.
We can see how the GOP squealed when Obama fought to revitalize the auto industry, how they've ridiculed in their private mass media, his every attempt to bring manufacturing back here. He's been trying to do quietly a New Deal, but doesn't have the same advantages that FDR. The public is brainwashed and unwilling to act as the United States.
Mentions of tin foil and the NWO? Well, FDR fought against that in his day and the GOP wants to bring it. Not wearing swastikas and goose stepping, but a corporatist state built of unaccountable and undemocratic institutions with more wealth than entire nations. Looks like a duck, walks like a duck...

As always, the most powerful succeed because they are united while we are fighting with each other.
