That's not a conspiracy, it's a foundational truth of economics. People go into business to make, sustain and grow profits. Period. OK, profit is revenue - (taxes + costs), and revenue is dictated by supply and demand. OK, if there is a global demand for your product, and you have the capacity to supply that demand, then globalization simple removes bureaucratic impediments to meeting that demand, maximizing revenue and minimizing cost.

More profit is the agenda. More profit is better than less. It's not very complicated.
True, but who's wagging the tail? Or, who should be wagging the tail? Do we as humans see a future where corporations run or replace our governments and is this a good thing? Will the United States of American change its name to "Verizon"?

The Pro Globalists have no use for the Constitution, National Boundaries, Representative Governments, Citizens Rights or Protests. These things all get in the way of their filthy Global Fascists Agendas.

The one thing they all agree on is stealing from the tax payers to prop up their Globalist Utopia with a Global rather than national defensive Military

Yep-I wish all these Anti-American, Pro-Corporatist facists would get the hell out of our country.

It should cost a lot more to have full access to the largest consumer group on the planet (US). We are selling our country, resources and sovereignty to megacorporations with no loyalty to any people for pennies on the dollar.

It's a disgrace, and I'd be so ashamed/embarrassed to knowingly support this agenda.

first get rid of the notion that globalization has been pushed for the last 25 years, try more like 125 years.

the reason for globalization is a push for a one world government, presumably under the UN, where the worlds nations would be like the states of the US, and the UN would be what we now know as the federal government. this would also make it easier for corporations to move money around, and grow to mega sized companies.

Agreed. And since we are told consumers pay corporate taxes and capital gain profits is taxed lower than everything else, pretty much means they have no skin in the game. There are no consequences for them.

Presidential Candidates are almost fully funded by these same globalists and then paraded before the media for the people to select from.

EVEN if somehow enough people could see through the BS and elect a Pro American President, that president would be stonewalled by every politician in DC that exist in a revolving door between Global Banking and Industry.

He would be a failed president because they would smear him in the media and not allow him to pass anything.

35 out of 40 Goldman Sachs lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
53 out of 61 Citigroup Inc lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
58 out of 69 JPMorgan Chase & Co lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
20 out of 25 Morgan Stanley lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs


85 out of 114 General Electric lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
36 out of 48 Koch Industries lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
116 out of 141 Comcast Corp lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
76 out of 103 Wal-Mart Stores lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs
22 out of 30 Monsanto Co lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs

How does it make sense that the Biggest Defense Contractors can bribe politicians with our tax payer money?
If they are the only ones that can do it, then why do they need to Lobby? Circle Jerk?

69 out of 109 Lockheed Martin lobbyists in 2013-2014 have previously held government jobs

Excellent post^. Thanks for the stats-it would be funny if it weren't so disgusting.

It's actually really sad, how blind and ignorant many in this country can be.

Yes, but the efforts were ramped up about 25 years ago.

A One World Government would be a disaster especially when we see the the corrupt governments of the world today. There needs to be a balances of power when it comes to humans which is why we are divided into 50 states and not one big one. As it is today, the citizens have no power unless they have $$$ to rig the rules in their favor. So expanding that globally sounds like a nightmare.

It would be totalitarian fascism, not a globalist utopia and would prove the bible believers right.

Fascism is good business but poor economics because it replaces the market with centralized control to protect the existing businesses.

i agree with you. but remember that most people only look at when the big push started, not when it really started.

and i also agree that a one world government would be very bad for the world since there is no way a republican form of government would work on a scale that large.
