Publisher's Note

A country that produces nothing produces no wealth.

Nearly all manufactured goods now coming from overseas. The labor force is being quietly redeployed into lower-paying service, retail, hospitality, assembly, or distribution jobs that are transient, do not support communities, careers, or provide benefits.

The American economy is financed by foreign nations in ways that do not draw headlines, but do warrant further examination.

Countries protect their own domestic weapons industry so that their defense capabilities and military intelligence stay within that country. The U.S. is simply following suit and defending itself against predatory practices.

The U.S. has been defeated in an economic war. Strangely, Americans do not feel the pain and economic destruction to the same extent as a perilous military defeat.
