It penalizes those that are not into globalization and are all about staying local.
If you don't use underpaid workers then there is no problem for you.

So having skin in the game is protectionist strategies?

We should do away with all protectionist strategies then right?

Like a Global Protectionist Military for example?

Are just the protectionist strategies that get in their way?


No matter, the conspiracy crackpots were right about Global Governance and an Elite Class ruling over everyone.

What did people think the Captains of Industry were talking about in those Bilderberg Meetings, which by the way, all exist in a revolving door in DC?

Drinking Tea and Eating Crumpets and talking about their golf swings?

We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. … It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

People that support such globalism are helping to destroy our nation and it's sovereingty.

Our policies should support AMERICAN companies with AMERICAN employees. Any American that thinks otherwise is indoctrinated.
And that's exactly why I call it treason and its advocates traitors. About that there would have been no debate in the first 205 years of our history.

Yep!

And some of them will talk about the Constitution as if to act like they are Pro American when it comes to our Global Military but later to be discarded after their agendas have been fulfilled.


George Bush was a prime example where he used and praised the military on one hand and out of the corner of his mouth said that the Constitution was just a dammed piece of paper while his old man talked about the New World Order.

I saw the writing on the wall about 1997 when my industry started the offshoring.
Fire Americans and hire Chinese/Indians and then cry to government that there are "no skilled workers" ? What a farce.

Sure..I'm one of those "crackpots". And now I get to say "I told ya so".
Many didn't see it ..they refused to see it because the price of goods came down.
It was to their benefit to offshore. Now most skilled jobs are offshored and the masses woke up.
But it's too late.

Adjust and adapt to the changing world.

I don't ever recall the citizens getting a say in all this to begin with, but then again, that was part of the lie where we ever had any say in governmental affairs to begin with.

Right?

Right?
YOU elect people into office.
Many of them voted for policies that are globalist and most of them keep going back to DC because you voted them back into office.

Now you have a secret TPP trade agreement going on and only Obama is privy to it and he just asked Congress to give him the authority to finalize it without their radification.

Not So!

One look at who is funding these politicians tells the tale.

Also, you could put a true Pro American in as President and any policies he tried to pass that were beneficial to the nation would be shouted down by the corporate and banking lackeys that infest DC. They would smear his name in the media and he would be a failed president.

Also, the TPP was in the works well before politicians were even privy to it.
It was negotiated in secret between un-elected Heads of Multinational Corporations from different countries.

Ron Paul ran twice. We had our chance and passed it up twice.
He got smeared way before election day.

The people chose the globalists. (FWIW D and R are just different sides of the same dirty coin).
