Fading Industry in the West as Energy Policy Consequences Surface – The Grey Zone Surge Begins
For those who have followed my travels, research and granular reviews into the background motives of the multinationals, an article within Politico catches my attention and I hope it may be of value for an enlarged conversation.
At the beginning of my post-COVID economic research, I noted all of the proactive investments by the big multinationals would benefit from a diminishment “western” economic dominance.
Specifically, I noted that if you look at the investment footprint -where the multinational corporations actually put all of that money they have been extracting from the Western consumers, you will see they have spent the past generation investing heavily in the “GREY Zone” within the map below. With that reality as the backdrop, would the multinationals lose or benefit from the “Build Back Better” agenda that pushed the YELLOW zone into a system of forced drops in the standards of living?
What you will note from the post-COVID “build back better” pushers, also not coincidentally the same interests who pushed the Russian sanction regime, is their investments in the grey zone act as offsets for the current collateral damage.
In essence the multinationals created a win/win. Their BBB policy within the yellow zone intentionally drives prices higher, while their investments were hedged creating low ‘total cost of goods’ (TCG) manufacturing systems outside the West. I previously said we should watch this supply chain carefully because from an economic standpoint we (nationalists) would suffer, the multinationals (globalists) would not.
Now, I want us to look at the first indicators of this dynamic – shared through the prism of the Politico article [excerpt below]:
POLITICO – […] Before the [Russia v Ukraine] war, the annual electricity bill was about €80,000. It’s nearly doubled since then, said managing director Christoph Keim, son of the company’s founder, a chemist who got his start after World War II with a company making disinfectants. Prices for customers rose, while profit margins shrank.
Eventually, costs receded. Relief came. But things didn’t return to their pre-war level. Instead, Keim entered a troubling new normal, where energy prices are double those of overseas rivals.
That reality is slowly eroding thousands of similar companies across Europe’s industrial heartland. Germany, Europe’s manufacturing powerhouse, has fallen into a recession expected to extend through the year’s end. Even global German stalwarts like Volkswagen, a name almost synonymous with the mighty Das Auto itself, are staring at unprecedented plant closures.
More broadly across the EU, output from key energy-intensive sectors like chemicals and steel is declining. Plants are shutting down. Industrial champions are announcing layoffs. (read more)
I hope everyone takes the time to read the full article. While the context is specifically focused on Europe, the BBB consequences apply to the USA also via Joe Biden and Kamama Harris energy policy.
In essence, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy; one you might note is exactly the preferred outcome of the Barack Obama worldview. The West spreads the wealth to the Grey zone, then the 3rd world (non west) starts to replace the economic strength of the West because they are not restrained by the insufferable policies of the climate control/energy policy group.
The West ends up in a position where we cannot compete not only on the issue of ‘cheap labor’, the historic problem, but also on the issue of cheap reliable and abundant energy production.
On the financial side, the citizens within the Western Build Back Better zone suffer through inflation and massive losses in stand of living, while the alternative areas gain the benefit of better competitive manufacturing prices. The multinationals simply shift the area from which they make money.
The “exfiltration of wealth” we have previously discussed, ends up as investment into manufacturing systems we cannot compete with.
The attendees of the World Economic Forum benefit because the multinationals who make up the WEF assembly have prepositioned their assets and investments. This is being done by design. None of the downsides to this energy policy affect the WEF bank accounts, the only people who suffer are the citizens forced to pay higher prices and fewer jobs.
This dynamic is not going to stop unless the West immediately reverses course on energy production.
In the biggest of big pictures, as the collective governments of the world are increasingly under the influence of the WEF corporatism model, now you can better understand why so many people are watching the 2024 election and hoping for President Trump to achieve victory.
This reality also underlines our catchphrase, “there are trillions at stake,” while simultaneously emphasizing why this globalist cabal wants to see him eliminated.
Please keep this geopolitical and economic shift in your psyche as you look at all of the machinations taking place within the world of USA politics. What would the WEF assembly do to retain their intention. Nothing should be considered “off the table” if you can draw a line from the visible action you can see toward the benefit they would assume.
