Hundreds of thousands of Germans took to the streets Saturday, in protest of pending trade deals with the United States and Canada.

The deals in question are the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the U.S. and the European Union and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) for the Canadian-EU relationship. Neither free trade agreement has been ratified yet, but popular outcry has been growing for the last few years.

The demonstrations took place in seven cities throughout Germany: Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart. Organizers told CNBC that the official estimate is 320,000 demonstrators across Germany.

The essence of globalism is anti-capitalism, because its DIRECT OBJECTIVE is to obtain a monopoly on capital.

It accomplishes this by ownership of the Central Banks and largest financial institutions, of course; BUT, THERE IS ANOTHER ASPECT.

The other aspect is the DEVALUATION of LOCAL CAPITAL, which cannot compete against foreign labor, unlimited global capital, and unrestricted control of the media by globalists.

Of course the activities of globalists are exempt from local laws and regulations. Consider the wages Apple pays in China, which would be completely illegal in the USA.

Globalism is the EVIL that we must destroy, if America is going to survive as a capitalist nation.

So here ome the part in Revelation where they make money worthless so you have to take the mark of the beast in orders buy or sell anything eh? Starting to sound like it and Obama’s hand is all over this just like so many other destructive things that he has done to the U.S. The man is surely being guided by Satan.

You can be a either globalist or a patriot but not both. You have to choose.
