Guess what? This is the real face of the New World Order. And you can thank Bill Clinton and Bush #41, because the BOTH of them pushed the tools of globalism: NAFTA and GATT. The North American Free Trade Agreement and the General Agreement on Tarrifs and Trade were all supported by the Democrats, and even the UNIONS grudgingly threw their weight behind them after copious promises that they would bring new higher paying jobs into the economy....now they are finding out they, like the rest of us, were lied to, backstabbed, and generally screwed by the globalists. But even before they and the Clintons pushed this, BUSH #41 was pushing the same agenda, because he is a member of the Globalist Council on Foreign Relations, like Clinton and Gore and Dick Cheney and Colin Powell and a host of others in the current Cabinet. GW has to be held at least somewhat accountable, at least in associating and appointing globalists to key positions, although at this stage of the game, it's doubtful he would have been elected had he not made some sort of prior agreement even with certain "conditions" of his own that CFR would be sure to disagree with.

Globalism infects both major parties and most of the left wing minor parties. You can't really identify any more as either Republican or Democrat, I fear. I have been a Republican as long as I've been a voter, near to thirty years....and I'm only now making this as a public pronouncement. The time is rapidly coming when you're going to have to identify as a Constitutionalist and be willing to DIE to prove it, or you just let that little bar code be inserted under the skin of your arm and forehead. I'm not being "Chicken Little" here, either! This is not even the "beginning." In fact, we're rather near the "end game," as it were. I only hope the rest of America wakes up enough in time to stave the inevitable off, at least (I selfishly state) for the remainder of my lifetime and for that of my children. The end is a foregone, Biblically foretold conclusion.

Everything else seems to flow from this especially the issue of Gun Control and the United Nations, because this is the major end product of all of that. Time to choose.

I started taking note of the layoffs in the business section about 5 or 6 years ago, and it hasn't let up since.

While this isn't strictly a BANG type item, it does tie in with our cause, would you not agree?

Ex Soldier. You may or may not realize this is one of my hot button issues. I realize China has declared economic warfare on the USA. I further realize that we are not dealing with fair trade or anything like Free Trade. American manufactured goods face tariffs or up to 50% in VChina, The Yuan is held artificially low. OPIC a US government agency pledges the full faith and credit of the US government to the Political Risk Insurance it provides for overseas investment.

I could go on but other threads have documented many many more abuses.

For the rest of you a ping. Anyone who wants on or off my ping list let me know.

Here is a good link that covers a lot of the problems

Why FREE TRADE was never the answer.

Jobs that stay put are becoming a lot harder to find these days. U.S. companies are expected to send 3.3 million jobs overseas in the next 12 years, primarily to India, according to a study by Forrester Research

This line get's me of all.

Some here just say that those 3 million will just have to retrain.

There needs to be fields open to retrain to! And if you retrain to a manufacturing education, ther eneeds to be jobs first, and those jobs were leaving years before IT was leaving!!

Makes me sick, I am going to drive a truck!

We need to get state & fed government to refuse to award contracts to companies that export jobs. You'd think they'd realize that job exporting meaning a shrinking taxpayer base.
