Virtue Signaling is Far More Common than Virtuous Behavior Is
Our most core and basic nature is self-interest. This is the nature we are all born with. Every baby cries to be fed or changed. One of the first words we all learn as infants is “MINE!”
On the other hand, sharing is an unnatural, learned behavior. Teaching a youngster to share is one of the most important missions of good parenting. However that taught behavior only overlays our basic selfish nature, which is always still there at our core. Sharing never actually replaces the more basic and foundational nature we were born with.
Altruism is a rare virtue at best, and no matter how well-intended putting others before ourselves may be, concern for others never truly become innate or replaces the self-interested component of our nature.
Again, Virtue signaling is vastly more common than virtuous behavior is.
Though they are frequent virtue signalers, the super wealthy financier types of this world did not get to where they are because they have been virtuous, selfless or altruistic people. They are their own “number one.”

“The Rules Based International Order” Term is Code-Speak Camouflage for Theft and Exploitation
The commonly used, and innocent sounding term “Rules Based International Order” is the modern term used as cover to described globalist financial elite classes’, economic raping and pillaging of the planet for the limited good of the supper wealthy in their exclusive club of the World Economic Forum. The term is most often used in the Legacy Media to contrast the “good guys” in the west from the Red Chinese nation’s financial elite class who are in the Communist Party, and are led by Xi Jinping. The CCP leaders clearly never follows the “rules” the Western Globalists put in place. Of course, the Chinese only do what is in their long term national interests.
The Complexity of the International Commercial Exchange System is No Excuse
Since the Second World War, the commerce of modern society has become very complicated. The rise of national and international level commercial trading has produced huge markets in which the nation’s goods and services are bought and sold on a wholesale basis. Even Communist China is engaged in this complex exchange system.
The Lords of International Finance
Despite the fact that the Lords of Finance reside and work on Wall Street, and all the other Walls Streets of the World, in London, Paris, Berlin, Switzerland, Tokyo, Dubai, Beijing, etcetera. The poster child most of these globalist financier influencers is Charles Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, which hosts its annual January meeting, in Davos, Switzerland. These well heeled financier power elites, their political operatives, invited influential politicians, and honored celebrity spokespersons all gather there annually. Together they plan and discuss the trends and fate of the commercial world they control. In all fairness Mr. Schwab espouses responsible stakeholder capitalism rhetorically, but few of the annual attendees at the Davos meetings actually put those ideas into practice.
Off-Shoring of Good Paying American Jobs is National Treachery to the Workers Who Are Harmed by It
The most disturbing thing from the perspective of the regular middle class people of the western world, and of America in particular is that over the last fifty plus years these globalists have strongly advocated for the off-shoring of manufacturing, and more importantly of the off-shoring of the good paying American manufacturing jobs.
The American Working Classes Have Paid the Nefarious Price of the Financier’s Newly Found Wealth
During these fifty + years the middle classes in the United States have fallen from being a prosperous, and stable 85% of American society who lived comfortably on the good incomes of their often union protected jobs and salaries to becoming the thin and still vanishing remnant of roughly 15 or 20% of American society. By 2000, most of the younger high school and even college graduates entering the job market were being forced to work jobs that paid scantily more than the national minimum wage rate, while they lived their near-subsistence level existences.
The Globalist economists told the people it didn’t matter. The lost jobs would be replaced by “good” jobs in the service industries. They weren’t!
The “Uniparty” of the American Government Enabled it All
The modern neo-liberal, globalist American government supported trade policies greatly favored the power elites, and a phenomenally wealthy group of global monopolist from Wall Street, Silicon Valley and elsewhere became the new super wealthy, while the core of American society on Main Street struggled to make ends meet.
From the two Bush administrations forward through Clinton’s “third way,” past Obama’s destructive policies, America’s employment options narrowed and got worse for the regular people trying to live regular lives. In the same period real poverty in America increased markedly.
The Rust-Belt Reigns in Hilary Clinton’s Derisive “Fly Over States.”
The characteristics of this new American rust-belt society, included the average household debt rates soaring, rising unemployment, the escapism of a significantly increased drug use, and increased suicide rates. Their new found slide into poverty and desperation is the cause of increasing rates of theft, petty crimes and violence, increase hate speech of every kind, and random acts of senseless violence. Divorce rates have sky rocketed while intact families which were the rule, have became the exception.
Official Government Reports State that Wage Rates have “Stagnated”
Again, the power elites told us that the lost good paying union jobs would be replaced by the displaced workers getting other jobs in the service industries. In fact those job pay less, are often part time, and clearly are an alternative to what was lost. The official government reported average wage rate stagnated.

Inflation-adjusted stable wage rates is the official government story using government metrics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a measure of “real” inflation. Note the word “Real” in the title of this graph above; that means the numbers are inflation-adjusted using the CPI as the metric of inflation.
According the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data:
$1 in 1969 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $8.83 in 2025, an increase of $7.83 over 56 years. Since it is the dollar which is losing value, again according to the BLS, one dollar in 1969 is worth 11 cents in 2025. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.97% per year between 1969 and today, producing a cumulative “price increase” of 782.77%.
The Government’s Economic Metrics are Part of the Fraud
The non-government biased, objective truth is a much more disturbing story.
How do you get a better metric the loss of value of the dollar, which the government economists call inflation?
The price of gold had been relatively stable over centuries. That is why academic historians use it as a objective measure of the value of ancient systems of coinage. If one looks at the gold value of the dollar in 1969 and then compares that to the same value in 2024, it shows that the value of the dollar has fallen 50 times.

[The gold price in 1969: $41.10/Troy Ounce. The gold price in mid-December of 2024 was $2,700/Troy ounce. If the value of gold is really a stable thing, which it is, then the value of the $100.00 dollars in 1969 is worth two dollars in 2024!]
The Gold Price of the Dollar is an Objective Measure of Actual Inflation
What does the gold price of the dollar tell us happened to your money over the same 56 year period of time?
One dollar in 1969 is now worth two cents. That is six times more inflation than the BLS asserts happen over the same time period.
The Real, Real American Wage Rate Has Fallen to 1/6th of the 1969 Wage Rate!
The “real, real” (objectively adjusted inflation) wage rate was not stable! It has fallen to 1/6th of what it was in 1969.
Think about it. In 1969 the real, real wage rate of the non-globalized average family was sufficient for an average family to be able to support itself with a single worker household, and to be able to buy a home in the suburbs, enjoy a two week vacation every year, buy a new car every three years, to send all of their kids to college (without incurring student debts), and still have a livable retirement program.
Today’s that so-called “stable wage rate” barely allows a subsistence level of existence for working American families.
This is the New America of Globalism, and its a Crime!
Jack Welch, the wealthy CEO of the General Electric Company from 1981 to 2001,famously laid off more than 100,000 people in his first years as CEO. Mr. Welch was nicknamed “Neutron Jack,” as in neutron bomb Jack. At that point in time, the neutron bomb was a theoretical weapon of nuclear warfare that was thought to kill people without destroying much infrastructure. So, it might have been a more lethal, yet less destructive way the wage a nuclear war.
Welch’s version of capitalism led him to rampant off-shoring, cashing in GE stock options, and buying back their own shares instead of investing in growth. This help to destroy the American middle class and weakened industry. Financial capital’s interests versus the interests of the real economy on Main Street!
In one sense Jack Welch was the founding father of outsourcing, and he once stated that he would not allow GE to do business with any company that was not aggressively off-shoring its manufacturing. Jack Welch was nowhere near the only “neutron CEO” globalist of his era. He was an outspoken leader, and in many ways he was an archetype for an entire class of globalist CEOs.
The Traitorous Foolhardiness of Off-Shoring American Jobs
The foolhardy knavishness of offshoring manufacturing is clearly supported by the following facts:
Manufacturing only produces 11% of GDP.
Manufacturing is responsible for:
20% of the country’s capital
30% of the nation’s productivity growth
60% of exports
70% of innovation, business growth & development !!!!!!!!!!
Apart from manufacturing, American innovation ceases to exist.
Conclusions
Large transactions involve huge amounts of capital which has become concentrated in the hands of a few. This financier class has become the power-elites of the modern age. They are more powerful than the politicians or the government administrators and executives (or their intelligence agents), who may have the nominal control of thermonuclear weapons, but still find it hard to oppose the Wizards of Oz who work in the many Wall Streets of the world.
“The pen may be more powerful than the sword; but concentrated capital is more powerful than the pen.”
Big money easily influences, persuades or outright bribes government politicians to do its bidding.
These power elite financier types routinely act in shameless self-interested ways, yet they pontificate to the masses they control and extort their wealth from in a deeply hypocritical and despicably paternalistic and condescending way through their smartest guy in room megaphones like the various United Nations Organizations, the World Economic Forum, the World Trade Organization, and the World Bank they control.
Their destructive globalism and superficial climate doomspeak rhetoric is as phony as it is possible to be.
