Alternative Insight attempts to be evolutionary and revolutionary. Articles don't become obsolete but are arranged as part of an evolutionary process with past articles remaining relevant and their content playing a role into the future. The revolutionary thrust invites novel thinking - reacting to a conventional thought that often proceeds from spurious reports, leads to conditioning and acceptance of dogma


FOREIGN POLICY


Since the end of World War II, United States' foreign policy can be identified by one word: Counterproductive.

Often starting with false assumptions and spurious facts, policies produced catastrophes and remained unresolved.The incessant wars for "freedom" turned into killing fields. Wars produced wars and counter-terrorism produced more terrorism.

While trying to structure its own world order, the U.S. remains unaware that it is enabling a new world structure, steered by China and other Asian nations This emerging world structure favors Statism, a mix of government controlled and free enterprise policies; a socio-economic system the U.S. rejects and is indirectly nourishing.

DOMESTIC POLICY

 



United States domestic policies are often
patchwork to recurring problems. By not recognizing the origin of problems, directions to solutions have been misdirected.

Early articles describe the stock market manipulations leading to eventual decline and the lack of resolution of social security problems

These preliminaries lead to examination of the later economic crisis, predicted in some articles and made obvious in others.
The Paulson and Geithner attempts to rescue the economy are analyzed.The credit oriented cause of the economic crisis recalls that Ronald Reagan's policies started the government and trade deficits.

The U.S. is headed towards one of two solutions -War cometh before or the Socialization of America.

Still to be recognized - Government deficits are not the problem, the current account deficit is the principal problem.

MIDDLE EAST CRISIS

While the world community debates a two- state or one-state solution for the Middle East crisis, Israel proceeds with its unilateral solution - one-state - a Jewish state.
Clearly described is the evolution of Israel's strategy and the maddening "peace process." An original Zionism, rejected by the Jewish people seemed outmoded by World War I and became revived by the Balfour Declaration and establishment of the British Mandate.


President Truman reacted too late to the 1948 recognition of Israel. Incessant wars, conducted from pleas of defense and security needs while geared to enlarge Israel and subdue the Palestinians, have led to either completely vanquishing the Palestinians or a resolution by The Course of History.

The Jewish people are caught in a maelstrom that could evolve in its decline and massive destruction to much of the entire world.

POLITICAL

Politics comes first in the United States, and unfortunately misshapes policies. Center driven direction prevents imaginative operations and leads to paralysis. The Neocons and their damage has faded, and given way to a new force, an Unholy Trinity that hopes to reshape America.
