Bizarre Politics Reports:
Free Trade is War. It is a war against living wages and represents a betrayal of workers worldwide.
Ray Tapajna chronicles the causes and effects of Globalization and Free Trade
FREE TRADE IS WAR -
( Part 1 )
The undeclared war against the soul of workers
1945 - World War 2 is over - The U.S. won the war through the most powerful industrial might the world had ever known. The Marshall Plan came and restored economies in Europe and Asia based on this industrial might.
1956 - The Suez Crisis exposed a global money crisis and the money changers globalized the flow of money values.
In the same year, the U.S. chose to sponsor the moving of factories outside of the USA for the sake of money thinking by creating economies based on making money on money instead of making things would grow money and investments across the globe. The idea was to discount the cost of production where in nations with larger debts could repay or secure their debts by supplying cheap imports to the consumer based nations.
Governments became dealers and brokers in the financial and business world. They attacked the Free Enterprise system which was based on local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings. The new money on money economies ruptured the value of work and workers with this value being more of a real value than the paper money standard. The two poles collided and we not know what happened. It evovled into the current global economic crisis.
Free Trade is War in more ways than one. History will show the propaganda exercised worldwide during our times and will ultimately exposed the elite groupings behind this scam of the century.
Future of newspapers in danger

Following the Seattle protests , new kind of yellow journalism circles the real news but It was based more on what was not told rather than what was told -

Newspapers join the wrong side and passed on the propaganda of Free Trade
World lost economic common sense in Free Trade War
In the news, we read about the surge in car
production in China but it ... living wages is fading away with
nothing left to take its place. ...
Irrational economics infect all in the world - President Roosevelt said economic diseases are highly communicable - now they are epidemics with no cures in sight.
More globalization summit meetings came and still the major reasons for the protests against them were not told by the media. The "Battle in Seattle" in 1998 was lost after the news channeled their reports related to global meetings. Free Trade and Globalization has been cloistered away from the common man and common good
Combined with the Free Trade War was a silent depression. It took a violent storm to exposed it . Hurricane Katrina exposed a vast impoverishes under class not only in New Orleans but in major cities across America. The after affect proved that our unemployment rate reporting was a facade and it was impossible to compare this reporting with anything from the previous decades when primarily only workers with full time jobs were included. Only about 38 percent of all American workers qualify for unemployment during the Free Trade era. This demonstrates that there is vast population that are missing in action when it comes to who has a real job and who does not.
The results of the Free Trade War:
1. Free Trade continues to move factories and production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. Even China is now sub contracting work to get cheaper labor than their own.
Every time a factory is moved anywhere, a burn out community is left behind. Many times these communities are worst off than before the factories came. In China, in the HP and MAC Apple production of
electronic gadgets, several workers have committed suicide due to working conditions.
2. In America, many major cities now look like combat zones. There are miles of major streets with boarded up store fronts , empty factories and office buildings. Some of the empty factories have been torn down and a new Wal Mart is built on the graveyard of the steel industry in Cleveland where once thousands of workers enjoyed a middle class production job. I worked in several factories while going to college and if these jobs were still available, there would be thousands standing in line to get them including college grads.
3. About one half of top corporations who had offices in a major city like Cleveland evaporated. Many had been in business for more than fifty years.
I look through my sales call book that I carried for more than thirty years when in the sale of computers products and more than one half of the companies no longer exist. Many of these companies employed more than 5,000 workers. Today, the newspaper writes about all the wonderful companies that are left and most have less than 500 workers. Headlines are made when a new company comes to town and hires 100 workers or so. This would have been just a short byline in the news in the 1970s with companies opening up every day of the week. Our region was once the center of new technology companies and most of all these start ups are gone too.
More than a million workers lost their jobs in the computer industry alone and perhaps more than even in the steel and auto industry but not much is reported about those who lost theri jobs in the computer field. I have a list of hundreds of computer manufactures who closed down due to Free Trade competition and it was senseless to invest in research and development if the final stage of the process went overseas. Everything could be copied in an off shore factory including design and development. The company that I had been involved with for more than ten years, led the way in the development of disk storage. Their work contributed to the advancement of all computer technology. They were knocked out of business in quick fashion by a Far East giant. The whole industry was wounded and the remaining groups took most of all the manufacturing out of the USA. A 100,000 jobs were affected. This was the end of more than ten years of heavy investment by the corporation. All was suddenly lost. The same scenario played over and over again as one U.S. high technology company after another took a hit ending more than thirty years of people giving all they had in making the best technology in the world. Millions lost their jobs in the process. Many lost everything. They lost the Free Trade War. Millions now lay wounded with no place to turn while President Obama bails out big money instead.
History tells us that re are replaying the Great Depression all over again and it is 1939 again after President Roosevelt played out all the money games and turned to the Lend Lease Act to trigger our industries and farming communities by shipping products to the allies without worrying how they would pay. Next came the war that interrupted the Great Depression until now. President Obama money games are playing out and there is no possible way to recreate the next step and prayerfully no one does.
