American Third Position


Globalization, Unemployment, and the Death of American Industry

Posted: 24 Sep 2010 10:40 AM PDT

Globalization and greed have gutted America's manufacturing industry and has caused the loss of over 15 million high-paying manufacturing jobs to the Far East in less than two decades.

Our legendary manufacturing base, which laid the foundation of our nation's strength, is on its death bed with fewer than 10 percent of American workers now employed in manufacturing, the lowest figure since the Industrial Revolution.

By way of comparison, as recently as the 1970s, about 25 percent of American workers were employed in manufacturing. The cause is simple: "cheap" labor costs in the Far East have seen one major manufacturer after another move their plants to that part of the world, leaving American workers high and dry and expected to make a living from service industries alone.

As any sane economist should know, a service-based economy has a limited lifespan. To paraphrase Atlanta lawyer Sam Dickson, we are not going to survive forever by giving each other back rubs.

Sooner or later the reality will have to be faced: an economy that does not manufacture anything is not viable over the long term as a consumer society.

Eventually, disposable income runs out, and when it does, the "service" economy stops being serviced.

So why are manufacturing jobs vanishing to the Far East? The simple reason is cost.

It costs less to manufacture a product in a country where there is an abundant and relatively skilled workforce (ever wonder why plants are never moved to Africa?) and where vast overpopulation creates a competition for jobs that forces wages down to a fraction of what they are here.

This manufacturing cost is what corporations call "global competitiveness" and is the reason they proffer for their outsourcing moves.

It is cheaper to employ workers in a country where there are no unions, health benefits, 401Ks, and where people do not have mortgages to pay.

A 2005 study by the universities of Cornell and Massachusetts-Amherst indicated that more than 700,000 jobs which should be in America have been outsourced to India.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was supposed to benefit our nation, has instead seen Mexico became a major recipient of outsourced U.S. manufacturing jobs.

This is why Mexico is now a global leader in auto parts manufacturing and one of the world's largest TV set producers.

The Central American Free Trade Area (CAFTA) has seen another exodus of U.S. jobs. Household names such as Dell, IBM, Sara Lee/Hanes and Maytag have already moved some parts of their operations into Central America.

America now imports twice as much as it exports, which is one of the major reasons for the ballooning trade deficit.

The collapse of the manufacturing industry will therefore make America poorer. As more manufacturers move abroad, the flow of money out of the country will exceed the benefits of cheap imports.

Then, at some point, the trade deficit will become overwhelming and standards of living will start declining. In fact, they already have.

The American Third Position argues that it is wrong to surrender American ingenuity and manufacturing expertise overseas in order that the wealthy elite might profit, selling competitive advantage that belongs to us all technology and know-how that was built on the backs of generations of American workers and thinkers.

We therefore believe that it is necessary to restrict the importation of certain goods and to protect American industry. Wherever possible, we will take measures to ensure that the goods we consume are made by American hands, in American factories.

Anti-White Hatred Reaching New Zenith

Posted: 24 Sep 2010 07:04 AM PDT

Government anti-white hostility and pressure from the Obama-backed NAACP are the reasons why the Black Panthers who racially abused and threatened whites outside a Philadelphia polling station were not prosecuted, two former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials have revealed.

According to Christopher Coates, former voting chief for the department's Civil Rights Division, the "Justice Department is ignoring civil rights cases that involve white victims and wrongly abandoned a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party last year" and is committing a "travesty of justice."

Mr. Coates detailed how the DOJ "cultivates a hostile atmosphere against race-neutral enforcement of the Voting Rights Act."

He said that civil rights attorneys only take up cases representing non-white victims and that the Philadelphia Black Panther case was dismissed "following pressure by the NAACP" and "anger" within the Justice Department.

"That anger was the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against," Mr. Coates said.

He added that a 2005 case against a black official in Mississippi over voter intimidation claims had stirred a "backlash in the department" and "from civil rights groups" in exactly the same way that the New Black Panther case had.

The New Black Panther members were videotaped outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 dressed in black uniforms brandishing a billy club and shouting racial insults in support of then candidate Barrack Obama.

Initially charged with intimidation, the case was dismissed last year after the department got one of the New Black Panther members to agree not to carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012.

Mr. Coates pointed out the obvious, namely that the reasons given for dismissing the case were "extraordinarily strange" and "weak" after another of the Black Panther members was let off the hook because a local police officer had determined he was a Democratic Party poll watcher.

He urged the commission to consider what would have been said if the Panthers had been members of the Ku Klux Klan.

"To understand the rationale of these articulated reasons for gutting this case … one only has to state the facts in the racial reverse," he said.

In July this year, former Justice official J. Christian Adams testified that his former employer showed "hostility" toward cases that involved white victims and black defendants.

The NAACP, which Mr. Coates pinpointed as a key player in the moves to get the Black Panther case squashed, is a firm ally of President Obama and he has addressed that body numerous times, never missing the opportunity to fan the flames of hatred against white people.

For example, in July 2009, President Obama blamed whites for "societal ills" affecting the black community, saying the "legacy of the Jim Crow era is still felt, albeit in different ways today."

"Make no mistake, no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in

America," Mr. Obama said, "by African-American women who are paid less for the same work as white men, by Latinos "made to feel unwelcome," by Muslim Americans "viewed with suspicion" and by "our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights."

"More than 50 years after the Supreme Court's landmark segregation case, Brown v. Board of Education, the dream of a world-class education is still being deferred all across this country" as black students lag behind white classmates in reading and math.

Given that sort of rhetoric, it is little wonder that anti-white attitudes are spreading throughout government departments.

The American Third Position intends to organize white Americans politically to meet this challenge to the future of our nation head-on, and needs your help today.

A3P Director James Edwards Hosts BNP's Nick Griffin on Political Cesspool

Posted: 24 Sep 2010 05:07 AM PDT

British National Party leader Nick Griffin, MEP, will be interviewed on tomorrow's Political Cesspool radio program, show host James Edwards has announced.

In a post on his website, Mr. Edwards, who is also a director of the American Third Position, said that we have worked out the details to bring back Nick Griffin for an all-new interview.

"Nick Griffin is the chairman of the British National Party and was recently elected as a Member of European Parliament. His stunning ascension to Europe's highest governing body has been heralded as a turning point for those of us who champion paleoconservative viewpoints," Mr. Edwards wrote.

"Mr. Griffin's forthcoming interview with us will be stored in the broadcast archives immediately upon the completion of our live show, enabling you to share it with your friends and family after the fact."

The announcement of the interview was made originally by BNP overseas liaison officer Andy McBride on that party's website, Mr. Edwards continued.

The show will be broadcast from the AM 1380 WLRM Radio Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, is syndicated on the Liberty News Radio Network, and is also available via the Internet.

Mr. Griffin will appear on the show at 6:00 PM Central Time, which is equivalent to midnight U.K. time, Saturday, September 25.

The Political Cesspool advocates an America First philosophy and has received a certificate of recognition from the Memphis City Council for "Outstanding Contributions to the Community" with its hosts having been named Honorary City Councilmen.

The Political Cesspool can be found on the Internet here.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro



Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish!!
Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
