For those of us old enough to remember, The North America Free Trade Agreement came into force on January 1, 1994. January 1, 2014 represents the 20th anniversary of NAFTA. We also might remember some of the promises that were made in support of NAFTA when the Clinton Administration was pushing for its passage in 1993: NAFTA promised 170,000 jobs created per year, yet by 2004 increased trade deficits had equated to a net loss of 1 million jobs. Pre-NAFTA trade surplus of $2.5 billion with Mexico and deficit with Canada of $29.1 billion has morphed into a combined deficit of $181 billion. This represents an inflation-adjusted increase of 580%. Real wages in Mexico have fallen dramatically. A minimum wage earner in Mexico today can buy 38% fewer consumer goods than pre-NAFTA. This has contributed to a doubling of Mexican immigration to the U.S. since NAFTA's implementation. U.S. manufacturing workers displaced by NAFTA see a 20% drop in earnings when re-employed. The shift in employment to low-paying service jobs has contributed to wage stagnation. More statistic son trade deficit analyses, off-shoring of jobs, "Buy America" provisions, and prevailing wages are available from this new report by Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch entitled "NAFTA at 20". http://www.citizen.org/documents/NAFTA-at-20.pdf Of most significance in all this, is that the Obama Administration is currently pressing for an expansive new trade pact with 11 countries that will dwarf NAFTA in scope.The countries involved in the talks include Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. The emerging pact, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), will apply to 40 percent of the world economy. The Obama administration has been leading negotiations on this international trade accord since 2010 but appears to have almost no international support for its controversial new trade standards. On November 13, 2013, a complete draft of the treaty's Intellectual Property Rights chapter was published by WikiLeaks. This and other leaks have drawn criticism and protest in large part due to the secrecy of the negotiations, the expansive scope of the agreement, and controversial clauses in the drafts leaked to the public. One of the most controversial provisions in the talks includes language which would allow foreign companies to challenge laws or regulations in a privately run international court. Under World Trade Organization treaties, this political power to contest government law is reserved for sovereign nations. Other provisions include further job-offshoring incentives, requirements to import food that doesnt meet U.S. safety standards and rights for firms to get taxpayer compensation before foreign tribunals. Previously leaked TPP documents have sparked alarm among global health experts, Internet freedom activists, environmentalists and organized labor. The Obama administration has deemed negotiations to be classified information -- banning members of Congress from discussing the American negotiating position with the press or the public. Congressional staffers have been restricted from viewing the documents; the extreme secrecy surrounding the process of the current negotiations surely should raise a red flag of caution. The U.S. is also facing major resistance on bank regulation standards. The Obama administration is seeking to curtail the use of "capital controls" by foreign governments. These can include an extremely broad variety of financial tools, from restricting lending in overheated markets to denying mass international outflows of currency during a financial panic. Loss of these tools would contribute to a forfeiture of governmental sovereignty and would dramatically limit the ability of governments to prevent and stem banking crises. We may all wonder why with the dismal track record that NAFTA has produced thus far, why our government is so gung ho to expand upon such a similar structure. The answer lies in globalization. All of our recent administrations both democratic and republican and the bankers that control them have been promoting - subversively, a one world government. We have been slowly making inroads to this process for decades and now with the passing of TPP we can anticipate seeing even more convergences in our near future. The European Union, NAFTA, Africa, the Asia Pacific; you may expect to see them all further amalgamate under the guises of free trade agreements. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
yeah i remember what ross Perot said about it too [video=youtube;sM_PthsFFEw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM_PthsFFEw[/video]
After they finish using synthetic-money to unify the globe under one unaccountable-government, what's going to happen with the surplus population? The planet has enough resources to sustain 1.5 billion at middle-class standards, so if the new kings should be intent upon managing their conquest, they'll need to think about sustainability, which means wiping out more than 3/4's of the human population. How are they going to choose who dies, and how are they going to stop it from getting too big again?
a bubble mentality of no control Greenspan i didnt see it coming thought it would washout [video=youtube;sDBpFw1RdNA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDBpFw1RdNA[/video]
No FREE Trade ! Institute, FAIR TRADE ! Trade tariffs are in the Constitution. The American worker should not be told it is fair trade when he competes against a child or woman who isn't paid enough to pay for sustenance. The American factory should not be told it is fair trade to compete with factories void of modern pollution controls, worker safety, etc. aka sweatshops. How about those virtual Slave Labor factories Apple supports. Fair Trade would level the playing field by taxing the inequity of the foreign production process and absolutely not allow the importation of materials from Slave Labor factories. Now, figure who the Free Trade lie feeds? The Internationalist with no national loyalties. Not good. Breaths there a man/corporation with soul so dead who Moi No
I'm expecting to see a shortlived Amero and a Bancor just around the corner. Then an enforced microchip for newborns. As far as a eugenics program to get rid of the undesirables and useless eaters goes, transhumanist through genetic engineering and nano technologies can segregate by holding patents on specific genes related to the genetic makeup of certain groupings of people. They may then withhold medicines or other life-supporting systems designed solely for that genetic group. Or even worse, white plagues designed to kill widely but selectively. ugh
The whole NWO agenda has been transparent enough to be found out for many years now. Beginning here: http://www.illuminati-news.com/moriah.htm have a long read around that website, and find that it's ALL there. Now, whether you choose to believe that the real spooky group is the Illuminati, or some other bunch, like the Bilderbergs or whatever is up to you, but the agenda is in full view. Some years ago, under the Bush W. admin, the first attempt was made at one of these "White Plague" episodes, when Baxter labs sent a batch of "Influenza vaccine" to Europe. One of the receiving labs in Europe routinely reverse engineers everything that comes in. They found that an engineered strain of H5-N1 had been concealed in this "vaccine". Had they not discovered it, the planet wide death toll would have been an estimated 3 Billion within 2 months. It's not "coming", people. It's here. In all of the discussion I've seen about the NWO over the years, people have raised the alarm, filed lawsuits, yelled in the streets and so forth. What that all amounts to is a lot of noise in the chicken coop. The people who have it in their heads that the fate of humankind is their concern have been at it for a very long time, and it doesn't make any difference to them if it happens in their own life time, or if it takes centuries. They are determined to bring it about. The sticking point is that no-one else has a better idea, and unless these people continue in their agenda, mankind will indeed disappear, due to over population, war, natural disasters, and such as that. Does anyone here have an intelligent counter proposal?
