globalized slavery

Mikki points out that slavery and prostitution are as old as the hills and both of them have been global industries millennia before the word globalization was coined and they continue to monopolize global trade today in the form of human trafficking and sex slavery from Eastern Europe and South East Asia.

“Tribes first became powerful nations by warring against neighbors -- taking their lands and enslaving them -- and as nations expanded over the globe to become powerful, technologically advanced empires they no longer needed to wage war in order to enslave less advanced populations,” says Mikki. “They just landed on distant shores, fired a few muskets and terrified the local population into slavery.”

“That, in theory, was how the Latin Conquistadores operated in Africa and South America,” says Mikki, “but Britain from 1619 onwards had a novel way of finding slave labor for its new global colonies -- it first swept up its homeless children, then its surplus poor and then its convicts and worked them all as slaves!”

“It all began with the union of Scotland and England and the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 -- named after the new Stuart king, the Scottish James I -- and the arrival in 1625 of English sailors in the West Indies island of Barbados (deserted by the Portuguese).”

“The plantations established in the new colonies needed labor and because the African slave trade was dominated by the Portuguese and the Spanish, and jealously guarded by them, the English merchants had to find an alternative,” says Mikki. “That alternative was kidnapping and shipping out the surplus poor, but particularly orphan or deserted children whose fate nobody would know or care about.”

“White slavery was established as an institution as early as 1619 when the London Common Council shipped out 100 homeless children to join the first permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia -- with more following in 1620 and 1622 despite the Indian Massacres -- and by 1627, in the early reign of Charles I, another Stuart king, it had also been established in the British West Indies.”

"And anybody who thinks slavery suddenly disappeared when laws were passed forbidding it needs to get a real education," says Mikki. "Slavery continued in all of its many forms throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries - and still exists today as a thriving global industry."

Britons never will be slaves?

Britons pride themselves on being a free nation, and while it is true that England in the final years of Elizabeth I's reign became a beacon of freedom for the whole world when the last form of enforced servitude (villeinage) disappeared around 1600, Mikki points out that it did not last long and got a whole lot worse before it got better in the 1900s. And now?

“At the time of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 approximately 10% of England's population was enslaved,” says Mikki. “Although trading serfs and slaves like brute animals was supposedly abolished in 1102 by the Council of Westminster, it was not until the final years of Elizabeth I's reign that the villeinage finally disappeared.”

“The denouement of England from a haven of freedom under Elizabeth I to a cesspool of slavery and cheap life began with the union of Scotland and England and the new Stuart king, the Scottish James I, who founded the colony of Jamestown in Virginia,” says Mikki. “With vast swathes of land in the colonies needing to be farmed, and a growing middle class of avaricious merchants, shippers, plantation owners and profiteers who had no morals whatsoever (despite being avowed Christians) a new way of handling the surplus poor was found.”

“With the establishment of the new colonies of Jamestown in 1607 and Barbados in 1627 came a desperate need for plantation labor and because the African slave trade was dominated by the Portuguese and the Spanish, and jealously guarded by them, the British merchants found an easy alternative to labor shortage by kidnapping and enslaving the surplus poor at home, all done with the collusion of those in power.”

“So, long before Britain traded in black slaves it had sold its own poor white people into slavery in the New World as a way of solving unemployment, getting rid of surplus population, quelling rebellion and keeping the streets free from beggars, drunks and pickpockets so that its upper and middle classes could enjoy an easier life.”

“Most of these white slaves would have been worked to death on the plantations, leaving no children or grandchildren to tell their tale,” says Mikki, “and this is especially true of those sent to the sugar plantations of the West Indies where 80% of white slaves died in their first year of enslavement.”

“Never before in the long history of slavery has a nation treated its poor indigenous people so abominably,” says Mikki, “and worse was in store for Britain’s poor when the factories came into being and agricultural workers and their children were rounded up, chained to machines and worked for 16 hours daily.”

"Fast forward to the 21st century and the British government is giving British jobs to immigrants or offshoring them," says Mikki. "What does that tell you about the social contract that was set up to protect Brits from slavery?"

globalization threatens western civilization

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."
