Foreign Correspondence

You know it is bad when
The people who have sold us a generational "cultural conflict" against the towelheads start prattling about "racism"



The great Indian writer Khushwant Singh once penned a poignant story called Karma, about the plight of Indian elites under British colonialism. The protagonist, Sir Mohan Lal, wants only to be accepted as a gentleman. Impeccably dressed in his Savile Row suit and Balliol tie, brandishing a copy of The Times, he proudly takes his seat in the first-class compartment of a train – only to be accosted by a couple of drunken, loutish British soldiers who fling him out, seeing only a "wog:

Whether they realise it or not, most critics of the sale of P&O, the UK-based port operator that owns five terminals on the US east coast, to Dubai Ports World, owned by the United Arab Emirates government, are just replaying the scene with different accents.



Oh such an ocean of tears we should all have for the poor maligned UAE prince who *sniff* *can't* *sniff* use *sniff* royal money to buy the west. Oh what a trial of indelible shame Democracies in the West should suffer for not wanting autocracies to use autocratically gained wealth to buy out our assets. Oh, the torment of the good, pure, noble, human rights loving government of Dubai, surrounded by all these "racists". It must be truly racist to declare that a nation has to play by the rules to have full privileges under them. Who would have thought that the war hawks were such gushy post-modern multi-culturalists. One notes that "Western values", such as, for example transperancy go out the window when cash transactions for shares are involved.

What we are seeing is another pinch point in the very foolish decision the west made in 1980 to sell its future to oilarchies, hoping it could engage in a red queens race of creating more paper wealth than the depletion wealth of oil. Right now, 500 billion dollars a year must flow from them to the west of investment. Here to fore they have been willing to have influence and indirect control. This has noting to do with racism, and everything to do with a conflict between rent and capital - with the holders of rent needing to cement a final alliance between western holders of rent, and oil rentiers, in order to buy out the rest of the capital system.

It is around now when all those Republican terrorist hating freedom loving gas guzzling gay haters start to realize exactly who they have been selling their daughters to all these years. And their crypto-racist leanings are perfectly acceptable to Gideon Rose when they can be aligned behind wars and tax cuts - two things he likes.

Welcome to the Freeple's Republic.
