'Privatization' the Hegelian Solution to America's Infrastructure Problems

By Darren Weeks

There are no words to describe the devastation that must be felt by the survivors and the families of the victims in the tragic collapse of the bridge in Minnesota. My heart goes out to those people and my thoughts and prayers are with them.

That being said, this event amounts to yet another perfect Hegelian scenario.

As with all crises of these kinds, the circus clowns in the controlled media are spinning the story in every direction imaginable, playing upon the emotions and the fear of the people. They are very quick to dig up "facts" about how many of America's bridges are unsafe and how America's infrastructure is aging. They are very quick to tell us how much money will have to be spent on the improvements that will be necessary to bring America's roads, bridges, water facilities, underground piping systems, etcetera, all up to the proper level of maintenance.

In one of the media's lowest moments, I actually witnessed a sound bite from a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, commenting about America's aging infrastructure and the need for investments. That alone is very telling indeed, as one would have to ask what America's infrastructure has to do with "foreign relations". The answer to this question, of course, is "privatization".

On May 4, 1992, president Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12803 which deals with "Infrastructure Privatization". This Executive Order opened the door for the selling of critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water treatment facilities, sewer systems, and a whole host of other public works to be sold off to private companies, many of which are owned by foreign countries.

The ground is being made fertile, in the minds of the people, for the further privatization of America's critical infrastructure.

Also very interesting is the fact that the bridge failure occurred along the I-35 corridor, which is a part of the North American Super Corridor that will extend from Mexico all the way through America and into Canada. This super highway system, we've already been told, will be maintained and controlled by a foreign company from Spain. Americans will be charged for using the highway system their tax dollars have already built, and they will pay that money to a foreign country.

With the attention now being called to countless roads and bridges in disrepair, the idea being planted in the minds of the people is that we are headed for a very costly future, unless we adopt the pre-determined privatization schemes that help to further our country down the rat hole of globalization. How many other countless roads and bridges will be opened to private investment? How much more of America will be auctioned off to foreigners who very willingly will spend the initial costs, knowing full well they will receive a tidy return on their investment for countless years to come?

It is this writer's contention that our infrastructure has deliberately been neglected to facilitate a crisis that only privatization can fix. Privatization makes Americans dependent upon foreign investment, and it enslaves Americans to the investor which, more often than not, is a foreign entity. Americans must understand that allowing foreign countries to buy America's critical infrastructure is the selling of our country's heart and soul. We lose more sovereignty as we are entangled and ensnared by the financial noose that is tied around our necks.

It's time to quit being manipulated by the dialectic. Every crisis always equals an opportunity for the elite. Pay attention to what they are saying. Pay attention to the arguments they are using and the ideas that are being floated. Listen carefully; they really do tell you what they are intending to do, if you have the ears to hear.
