David Quinn's commentary touches on some key factors concerning globalisation but also recognises that while 'no definite Christian answer can be given to the question of globalisation, I [Quinn] think we can agree that the answer is not building walls and it is not doing away completely with borders either.'

 

Whilst freedom of expression, freedom of thought are corner-stones of constructive societies, it MUST be tempered with appropriate Qualification & Experience – to which (so it appears) David Quinn is not suitably qualified nor experienced.

 

'Christian Response' suggests that this would be uniquely different to the response from any other loving-faith - this is the first flaw within Quinn's arguments.

 

Socio-Economies, if they are to function optimally, require Professional Engineering – socio-economies are INTANGIBLE systems far, far, far more complex than tangible systems such as trains/planes/cars etc. - however Professional Engineering has NEVER been present within socio-economy structuring or control – which is why we have global socio-economic chaos.

 

The second of Quinn's flaw is that 'Globalisation' is defined as the free movement of people & goods/services, with people advocating both, or one or the other.

 

'Globalisation' within the context of achieving optimal stability is primarily the free movement of ideas to achieve parity of goods & services, and where (absolutely) necessary the free movement of appropriately skilled people to achieve same – i.e. a derived-demand, NOT supply-driven demand.

 

To understand this point it is important to recognise that less than 1% of global population account for ALL freedom of travel & goods/services that are polluting our atmosphere through aerosol spray-can vehicles – we would be gassed if all the world's population 'enjoyed' such freedom of movement.

 

The third of Quinn's flaws is '… free trade talks in 1993 super-charged economic globalisation..'

 

Free trade per se can NEVER account for the super-charging of economies.

It does not require too much thinking to recognise that mankind is limited in its outputs – regulated industries provide a 'capping' on outputs whilst maintaining quality; unregulated industries are 'capped' by fall in quality for unfettered increase in quantity.

So, free trade per se does NOT explain the global disparities.

 

What does explain 'super-charged economies' (which actually is a contradiction in terms) is the super-charging, more correctly super-saturating, of global Money-Base & Supply.

 

The fourth of Quinn's flaws is the allusion to 'protectionism' (whatever that means) – ALL systems require PROTECTIONS (your hair-dryer requires protection from the national grid, otherwise you would electrocute yourself) – protection is NOT protectionism!

 

The fifth of Quinn's flaws is the statement: ' … it is beyond doubt that economic globalisation has massively reduced levels of poverty worldwide over the last 25 years. In countries like China and India literally hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of the worst poverty because of it.'

 

China & India have created the illusion of increased per-capita wealth by adopting the fraud-scams that super-saturated developed nations – which created mind-numbing (hence impoverishing) mega-metropoli. So, whilst many have been uplifted far more are being born into worsening poverty – witness increasing Starvation Genocides.

(Note: intuitively: a DECREASE in population growth rate would be necessary to indicate reduction in poverty, although long lead-times)

 

 

But, perhaps the biggest of David Quinn's flaws is that he is fully aware of the writer's pioneering R&D into Socio-Economy Engineering yet Quinn does not support same, nor does Ireland Government, nor any Government – which confirms the unChristian attitude of 'christians'.

 

Other flaws are self-evident by recognising, that without Professional Engineering there is ONLY unqualified & inexperienced hot-air being vocalised – and all that does is pollute the atmosphere with mind-numbing noise sound-waves
