Introduction 

Using cunning state-of-the-art manipulating techniques in what is known as “democracy” to round up the public´s vote, the masters choose who is going to protect them and further their economic agendas and goals. This way politicians do what the masters tell them to do. So what the politicians do, they do it with the help of other carefully chosen people who are willing to watch not only the back of the chosen one, but also the backs of the chosen ones. It is a merry-go-round to get around straight down to what the members of the oligarchy want to get done for their own economical gain without risking their necks.  

   

Thus when the number one chooses to whom he chooses, he chooses to whom he chooses amongst those he must choose otherwise he may not please the chosen ones. 

It is a matter of choosing to do what the chosen ones want him to do so that the chosen ones get to do what they want to do without any interference from those that have nothing to do with the chosen ones but have chosen the one who chooses from the chosen ones a few to do what the chosen ones want him to do.

The whole thing boils down to what we call americanomics. 

So the purpose of this article is to define this global economic tendency. It is a tag for old bones taken to another cemetery.


Definition of americanomics

We define americanomics as any human endeavour that has to do with economics where a few powerful people sitting at the top of a power pyramid (Fig. 1) play with your economics to build their own economics but without your having to decide anything about the elite´s economics, in a master game in which nevertheless the oligarquical class needs and must have your economics for their own economics, otherwise they can have no economics. A process which directly or indirectly always results in deterioration, contamination, damage or destruction of the natural environment along with its inhabitants. In a nutshell, the global elite must harvest your economics for their own economics. No people´s economics, no elite´s economics. All in all, it is man´s economics causing environmental übermess globally.

Environmental impact of americanomics

After WWII, roughly or smoothly surfing on the industrial revolution wave that had bewitched the entire world, americanomics has been the chief global economic model to follow after, mimic or imitate by anyone or any nation in the world that is after the Holy Grail of "economic development" (i.e., environmental contamination & intoxication) and the driving force behind the consumer-driven economic machinery that is literally sucking the life out of and destroying the Earth´s Biosphere.

The impact of americanomics is everywhere to be felt and to be seen. Worldwide from pole to pole. 

For example, in a study of 20 marine ecosystems around the world in 2008, "no area is unaffected by human influence and that a large fraction (41%) is strongly affected by multiple drivers" (Halpern et al.,2008).

And so on and so forth. 

Today, no corner of Mother Earth is free from some kind of americanomics.

The next targets will be the Moon, Mars and then the asteroids and after beyond. At least this is what people who suck off the space industry are hoping for.


What it takes to do some americanomics 

If you want to tango under the americanomics tune, all you have to do is to get some individuals who are keen on business, charming when skimming the scheme but mean under the skin, environmentally careless meddling, and overflowing with a fathomless ambition and a powerful glue to keep them working only for their next of kin´s skin.

Knock on this door (here) to find out what it takes to do some heavy duty americanomics in the United States. 

All of this is done on a planet that is ecologically falling apart due to man´s moronic economics pitched against Mother Earth´s economics which neither follows nor heeds any of man´s grand schemes when chasing his anti-biospherical economical dreams.

Nowadays, almost everyone on the planet is under some sort of americanomical hood.

Mon Capitaine, it is easy to see what our dear americanomics is doing to the environment worldwide. We humans have turned the entire planet into an environmental "despije" (Sp., Hond., El Salv: desorden) (Levá, 2016: 91). A planetary dump.

Oui, mon ami. When it comes to really taking care of the world´s environment, the human species is a damn dumb.

Anyway, mon ami, let us take just an extreme example of americanomics in the Northern Hemisphere: Alberta´s tar sands in Canada (Video 1):

Mon Capitaine, what a mess!

Until man (Primates: Hominidae: Homo sapiens) finds a solution for his grand delusions, this is one of those necessary evils for his oil-driven unsustainable civilisation, mon ami. 

In the meantime, he keeps talking about "sustainability" and ferociously oiling his mouth and butt. And pooping galore his own nest (see Tammemagi, 1999).

And one day man hopes to crap on another planet. For example on Mars!

Mon dieu!!

NOBEL PRIZE: PEACE WINNERS ARE PRO-WESTERN ESTABLISHMENTARIANS

By Shajahan Madampat, Special to Gulf News

The choice of Chinese human rights activist Liu Xiaobo for this year's Nobel Peace Prize is a pretty tame affair. That it may serve as a thorn in the Sino-western relations is only a minor detail in the complex equations between authoritarian capitalism and liberal democratic capitalism. Larger neo-liberal considerations of economic growth will relegate the issue to the sidelines soon.

More important is the pattern that slowly but steadily emerged from the choice of winners over the years, now constituting a list of 120 individuals and organisations since 1901. While the majority of Nobel laureates in peace turned out to be pro-Western establishmentarians of various hues, the dissidents chosen for the honuor almost invariably came from countries outside the Euro-American consensus.

The elastic way the Nobel committee interpreted the idea of peace is a brilliant chicanery, couched in politically correct language. Environmentalism, micro-credit initiatives for the poor, human rights and democracy activism in the Global South, voluntarism for the poor and the sick, mass killings turned temporary peace, eloquent articulations on peace which never translate into reality, development of high-yield strains of wheat, building hospitals in Africa and a host of other accomplishments qualified the winners for the prize. The choice of Barack Obama stood out as both bizarre and benign as it was conferred in recognition of perceived good intensions!

The most glaring of all Nobel Peace omissions was perhaps Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, although several others inspired by him made it to the list in later years, including Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and the Dalai Lama.


Gandhi lovers will, however, remain grateful to the Nobel Committee for saving him from the company of Theodore Roosevelt, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Henry Kissinger, all with the blood of innocents on their hands.

Anathema


The Realist Theory-derived idea of peace the Nobel Committee represents would in any case have been anathema for Gandhi, whose notion of peace and militant non-violence derived from deep-felt moral and ethical convictions. Had the choice fallen on him, he would surely have rejected it for its entire history went against the grain of his life and thought.

The Nobel Prize was established by Alfred Nobel, whose massive wealth came from the invention of dynamite and ballistics and who had played a leading role in Europe's arms race. His products had killed legions of Europeans, bringing him the nickname ‘merchant of death'. The trajectory that the prize took ever since inception has not been any less paradoxical.

On many occasions the awardees resumed their wars — the ceasefire from which earned them the honour — soon after pocketing the prize money! The choice of Kissinger in 1973, Peres and Rabin post-Oslo in 1994 and the South Korean president Kim Dae-jung in 2000 for ‘peace and reconciliation with North Korea' are examples.

A newspaper columnist once joked that Jimmy Carter, Obama and Al Gore won the Prize for simply being a trifle better than George W. Bush! Though Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini were nominated at different points of time, they thankfully did not make it to the final round!

Similarly, there were instances of people winning the award and the very reason for their selection soon proving wrong. The British writer Sir Ralph Norman Angell was conferred the Nobel in 1910 (just before the First World War) for his theory that the integration of European economies made militarism and war obsolete.

Regoberta Menchu, the Guatemalan indigenous rights activist, had won the award in 1992, but a 1999 book by American anthropologist David Stoll revealed that many of the claims that clinched the prize for her were actually fabricated.

One fact that remains incontrovertible, though, is that the Nobel Peace Prize has never been conferred on a person or organisation that even remotely suggested the main hurdle to peace in the modern world came from the hegemonic ambitions and machinations of the dominant Western powers, most notably the US today.

Worthy


If dissidents championing human rights and democratic values in various countries — such as Liu Xiaobo in China, Shirin Ebadi in Iran and Lech Walesa in Cold-War era Poland — are worthy of the prize, then the most deserving human rights and democracy activist in the world today is Noam Chomsky.

Over the past five decades, Chomsky not only championed the cause of peace across the globe, but also consistently exposed the real threats to peace with impressive scholarly rigour.

But will Chomsky ever win the prize? No way because, as Fredrik Heffermehl, the author of the 2008 book Nobel's Will, said, the Nobel committee members are guided not so much by the testament of Alfred Nobel, but rather, the political situation on the ground!
