It makes sense. I'm thinking that the whole purpose of the Moon Treaty (no commercial exploitation) was to prevent the USA from building helium-3 fusion reactors on the moon in the 1970s, solving its energy dependence problems, and getting such a head start on interplanetary human settlement that no other country could catch up, making America the gatekeeper to the universe.

But the Moon Treaty wasn't the only stupidity of its kind. There were also those "free trade" treaties that transferred US manufacturing to Latin America and the Far East, which permitted China to become the economic powerhouse that it is, eclipsing the United States.

Meanwhile, America has grown nothing but ever-increasing debt, which is the result of its stupidly allowing the Jews to saddle the United States with a money system based on interest bearing debt that grows no matter what Americans may try to do to pay it off.

I can't imagine a world more poorly led than the West has been in the past 100 years, and in particular in the past 50 years. But perhaps it wasn't stupidity. Maybe it was treason, instead. In fact, it must be treason, since no ruling elite could possibly be so stupid as ours has been.
