Thanks for the ping and posting of those facts. I can only make a few comments now because reality calls.

Those who promote off shoring, outsourcing, importing 'guest' labor and goods made by neo-slaves forget that Marx promoted 'Free Trade', i.e. the unfettered movement of capital, labor and goods devoid of consideration of ethics and patriotism as way to fast track the spread of global communism.

Unwittingly some who fancy themselves on the right side of the aisle have have fallen prey to Cultural Marxism's stories for the right that include free movement of goods, persons, and capital, harmonization of living standards, jobs Americans can't / won't do, compassionate conservatism, profits 'uber alles', yada, yada, yada... These stories have been leading us to the same place as the stories for those on the left side of the aisle: destruction of the American economy, security, traditional culture, values and its pesky middle class under the tyranny of global communism administered by the WTO, UN, and their affiliates.

The damage done over that last 30+ years has been hidden until recently by manipulation of basic government stats, access to below market cheap credit, cheap, poorly made consumer goods, and 'experts' touting debt as good.

The results can bee seen in the blue lines of the charts below:







As to regulations, some forget crony capitalism aka fascism. Large global corporations have no problems with regulations as long as they can lend their expertise to their creation. What a great way to suppress competition!

The only people who believe that free trade will lead to a social revolution, as did Marx, are protectionists. And even not all protectionists are that stupid.

What you said....

Many have unwittingly embraced this very self-destructive philosophy.

What proof do you need? We used to have tariffs, sound money, and an America first trade policy. We used to make everything. Our economy was the envy of the world. Now, we are considered suckers by countries hungry for our markets using the same tactics we used in the past. We truly are nation which has forgotten our history.

Thanks for your post.

RE: "leading us to . . . the American economy, security, traditional culture, values and its pesky middle class [to be placed] under the tyranny of global communism administered by the WTO, UN, and their affiliates."

The Marxist revolution from the top down. (I think Obama, who has his own agenda, admitted that is his revolution too.)

I believe that the (Clinton) Third Way New Democrats came to realize that only capitalism and free trade can create enough wealth worldwide to "raise all boats"; that is why they advocate such ideas as "rules based free trade" with them setting the rules.

I, a hated "protectionist", do in fact favor free trade -- I do not like attempts to co-opt and use "free trade" by unsavory ideology operating through organizations like you mentioned plus ultra-left government clowns.

The groups you named are all targets plus Davos which -- I believe -- meets once a year to set the agenda for those groups including the U.N. (I think that Clinton has since created his own personal organization to try to compete with Davos. Davos is moving too slow for him.)

Such efforts as the Doha Development Agenda to favor developing nations have emerged inevitably leading to disagreements between the developed and the developing nations; to wit, "developed nations led by the European Union (EU), the United States (USA), and Japan and the major developing countries led and represented mainly by Brazil, China, India, South Korea, and South Africa."

This is way too complicated to be settled here, I see. Personally there's scant chance that I can understand anything close to all the factors.. so IMO:

Stop helping to build the economy and the war-making powers of the Communist Party of Red China..

the bastards have killed an estimated 60 million Chinese citizens and..

Making them millionaires and billionaires ain't working.
