IT WAS DELIBERATE: Rubio Exposes the 50-Year Plot
Did Secretary of State Marco Rubio just confirm that 50 years of American deindustrialization was deliberate? In a major speech at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio declared that the hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing was not inevitable — it was a “conscious policy choice.” That statement has sparked intense debate about trade policy, globalization, and the future of economic sovereignty. In this episode, Susan Kokinda connects Rubio’s remarks to a controversial 1977 report from the Council on Foreign Relations that discussed the concept of “controlled disintegration” in the global economy. She argues that the policies of unfettered free trade, financialization, and decarbonization reshaped Western economies — and that the current administration is attempting to reverse course. sierradelta

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire.
When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
