Lexie and her husband are struggling to make a living on a small farm and she's furious that all the economic protections that primary producers once received from the government are being lost in the global free trade agreements.
"Globalization has already led to other nations providing goods and services for western nations, and when the West has lost its self-sufficiency it has lost the plot," says Lexie. "Despite whatever the globalists say, without thriving primary and secondary industries, western nations will ultimately become slaves to the nations that provide for them."
"When more jobs go offshore and more industries close, we are at risk of being held ransom by other nations, leading to unprecedented unemployment, starvation, disease and violence," says Lexie. "The rich will survive and prosper - they always do - but masses of ordinary people will become destitute."
"My family will survive because we can live off the land," says Lexie, "but right now we can't make a living providing produce for others when they can buy it cheaper from global markets."
"A global outlook that exports our jobs and western values to the rest of the world may sound noble," says Lewie, "but it will ultimately result in western nations becoming subservient slave nations, providing a source of cheap labor for wealthy eastern and middle-eastern nations. Is this what you want?"
"The third-world immigrants who flocked to the west in the second half of the 20th century may be able to return to their newly rich old nations - especially those who retained dual citizenship and kept close ties with their extended families for such a contingent," says Lexie, "but there will be no hope for the native western populations that allowed themselves to be culturally raped and plundered by the misguided or deliberately destructive acts of their politicians."
"Most westerners are in denial, refusing to believe growing evidence that their civilization is being destroyed," says Lexie. "The west still looks powerful, and looks are what counts, right?"
"Wrong!"
"The western world is in debt, and getting further into debt," sighs Lexie. "The western globalization gurus, like the Roman Emperors, have overextended themselves, and all the fiddling in the world will not shut out the flames of the destruction they have visited on their homelands."
"The people running the western world - the politicians, the bureaucrats and the big business tycoons - are developing an agenda that is as fanatical as that of the Islamic terrorists," says Lexie. "Fundamentally, that agenda boils down to individual enrichment - power and wealth at any cost - and it has no respect whatsoever for the civilization that millions of their ancestors forged and protected with their blood and guts."
"Our nation became great by protecting its citizens, primary producers and manufacturers," says Lexie, "and when our global government succeeds in offshoring the last factory to China, and the last job to India, they will come after the land -- wanting to turf out the farmers and replace the cornfields with condos for the immigrants."
"We're becoming a nation of consumers, drawing more and more money from our only assets -- our house and land -- to buy things from China that we don't really need."
"Well, we're not falling into that trap and we're telling everyone who will listen to get out of debt as fast as they can because when the dollar crashes so will the value of their homes, and if they're forced to sell the only people who can afford to buy their devalued assets will be the Asians."

Leona maintains that the divide and rule policy of global corporations and governments is driving a huge wedge between the haves and the have-nots, and that when classism and racism are unleashed there could be a terrible backlash.
