At 6:58, see the swastika? Workers showing their support for Philip
Battenberg's engagement?

The absence of safety glasses and machine guards, as well as the amount
of non-automated labor) is striking to someone who has worked in a more
modern factory. Labor was inexpensive, as the British worker at the
time was still poor [1] compared to a couple of decades later, and could
barely afford to buy the bicycles they made.

Management was short-sighted, as profits went to a select few
stockholders, instead of being re-invested in modernization. British
executives who visited Japan in the 1960's were shocked to see how far
behind they were, and were unable to react when the Japanese started
exporting in earnest to the "West" in the late 1960's.

[1] The profits of the British Empire always having gone to the highly
secretive Corporation of the Crown (owner of the City of London [2]),
and not being shared among the people, who were actually taxed to
support the Corporation.

[2] Not to be confused with the much large metropolis of London
surrounding it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London.

Do not be too smug - there is a concerted effort to dismantle the
current systems in Western Europe and make them much more like the US.
Go across the English Channel to see the most advanced case. And the
ECB is having it's way with Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece, with
austerity for workers, and subsidies for investment bankers.

As Margaret Thatcher pithily noted, socialism works until
you run out of other people's money. Europe's party is over.

Europe is at least honest in its profligacy. It's not better
here, we merely have The Big Lie and a faster printing
press. The foreseeable end will be a debacle in both cases
when the music stops.

As Margaret Thatcher pithily noted, socialism works until you run out of
other people's money. Europe's party is over.

Thatcher is a criminal who should be breaking rocks in a labor camp, and
one of the primary persons responsible for destroying British industry
and degrading quality of life of those unconnected to the City (i.e.
Corporation of the Crown).

We have socialism for investment bankers, where taxes from wages earned
by labor pay for their losses. Indeed, that is unsustainable.

Europe is at least honest in its profligacy. It's not better here, we
merely have The Big Lie and a faster printing press. The foreseeable end
will be a debacle in both cases when the music stops.


If you think the US is run by anything other than the organized crime
ring known as the super-rich (who are too wealthy to be listed Forbes
and other mass-media outlets on their lists), you are sadly misinformed.

The problem is not lack of actual wealth, but a financial system that is
rigged to benefit a few thousand people at the expense of the other 7
billion. We are, as war criminal Henry Kissinger said, nothing by
"worthless eaters" in their eyes.
