This
isn't one of the big trade deals everybody knows about.
This
one was launched during the glorious Obama years:
The (South) Korea Free Trade
Agreement.
Signed,
sealed, and delivered by Obama in 2011 with his assurance that it would
create 70,000 American jobs.
His
assurance was on the level of his promise that, under Obamacare, you would be
able to choose your own doctor.
Four
years later, in 2016, this was the outcome of the Globalist Korea Free Trade
Agreement, as reported by Public Citizen:
"...the loss of more than
102,554 American jobs."
Oops.
Slight miscalculation.
"U.S. goods exports to Korea
have dropped 10 percent, or $4.5 billion..."
Sorry
about that.
"U.S. imports of goods from
Korea have increased 18 percent, or $10.8 billion..."
Sorry
about that, too.
How
could this have happened? I'll tell you how. It's simple. Despite claims, these trade deals
are written and calculated to torpedo economies. That's what Globalists do.
Why?
Because an ultimate top-down takeover of
populations is easier that way.
Here's
another example: NAFTA.
Remember that trade treaty? It enabled, among other consequences, the export
of very cheap corn---massive amounts---from the US to Mexico. Result? 1.5
million Mexican corn farmers were thrown out of business. Boom. Many
of them decided to come across the border to the US.
Does
that sound like an all-around economy-building scenario?
Globalism: the wolf in sheep's clothing.
No more countries---only elite
corporations in control, making markets wherever they can find them...
There's
just one problem. As these corporations and their Globalist leaders play
economic game with countries and their people, the net effect is decreasing
the number of customers who can afford to buy the corporations' products.
You
can't just shift the beneficiaries of trade deals from one nation to another,
in an unending shuffle and reshuffle of the deck. Sooner or later, you wind up with more sellers than
buyers.
You create more overall chaotic
conditions.
Elite
corporations don't want to think about this.
They're counting on governments to bail
them out with, for example, some form of "universal income" for
citizens, which means expanded welfare. That isn't going to cut it. Piddling
"new money" isn't going to invent, magically, a billion or two new
customers for cars and cell phones and houses.
Basically, these corporations are playing
Musical Chairs among themselves. Which companies will survive, and which will
fall?
The
corporations are dreaming about a controlled future in which they are more
powerful kings. It isn't going to work out. Even mergers and acquisitions
won't win the day.
Robust economies depend on many, many
small and large businesses operating in relative freedom, in stable nations.
The fantasy of one global economy is
intrinsically a hoax.
When you eliminate tariffs (the goal of
all trade treaties), you accentuate the differences between various labor
forces. Giant corporations shut down factories in countries where labor is
expensive and laws against gross polluting are "obstructing
profits," and they open up those factories in places where labor is dirt
cheap and you can pollute night and day.
That isn't free enterprise. That's
ongoing crime.
Someone
eventually pays the piper.
Corporations
believe they can, with their Globalist partners, keep postponing a day of
reckoning indefinitely.
They're
wrong. The bottom line is the corporations' bottom line: fewer buyers for
their products. They can't wriggle out of that one.
Free enterprise is the last thing on
Globalists' minds. They want a single worldwide planned economy, with central
points for production and distribution of goods and services.
They
want a tighter Surveillance State. They want a single toxic medical cartel to
dominate citizens' lives. They want to install many features that add up to
massive top-down control.
In
this atmosphere, elite corporations are going to thrive?
The truth is, Globalists are USING
corporations, temporarily, to forward their aims.
Those
corporations don't want to see this. They want to remain blind. They want to
dream their dreams.
These
titans, with all their skills, turn out to be the masters of self-delusion.
Stable and separate nations, not
Globalism, is the solution staring them in the face.
But
they keep their eyes closed.
---Look
at Europe. Under the aegis of the Globalist European Union (EU), it is the
canary in the coal mine. And the canary is bringing back devastating
messages.
Nations are being disrupted and torn by
the EU's forced immigration policy of open borders. Widespread crime,
crushing budgets to support the wave of migration, massive unrest.
In
this atmosphere, European mega-corporations are going to flourish and grow?
New customers are going to appear out of nowhere?
Dream
on.
Recall
the old term "double cross?" A person allied with one side in a
deal secretly betrays the deal and the ally. That's what Globalist elites are
doing to giant corporations.
They're
going back on their promise.
They're creating an atmosphere in which
corporations can't function beyond a certain point. And worse, they're
creating a forced planetary economy in which the corporations will become
mere government appendages---functionaries in a slave-based system.
These
deluded corporations...it only takes a few of them to wake up and see the
real game.
And
then rebel.
How
about it, boys?
Who'll
be the first?
And
now, a clue: in this atmosphere, there is daylight.
Small
businesses that give real value for value have an opening. A very large
opening...
