Newspaper channels still are in denial about Globalization and Free Trade being the cause and effect behind our economic and financial crisis
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, left many stories untold in the global economic arena. The editorial page editor has retired and never really got into the stories of events leading up to the economic crisis. The assistant editor says that Free Trade is not the cause for the economic crisis even though it is obvious it is. Here is a story behind the story about the relationship of an Editorial Page Editor who spent his years contesting Congressman Dennis Kucinich who was a voice in the wilderness for years condeming Globalization and Free Trade as a direct cause of our economic problems.
Second Hand Money
Brent Larkin has retired as the Editorial Page Editor of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. He spent a long time contesting many of Congressman Dennis
Kucinich's actions. During most of this time I was in the computer
industry being part of every computer generation. The Cleveland region was once
a center for many international corporate offices and high tech innovations.
I serviced all the major corporations in the Cleveland region and was a National Accounts
Manager for several. In my own computer business, I witnessed thousands
of companies closing down during this time with the news media failing
their mission to tell it like it is. They hid from news related to the
assault of free trade on the American Dream. Actually it was yellow
journalism in a new way. This new news heresy was based on not telling
the stories that should be told and telling story coming down from high
powerful channels outside the will of the people. They wrote stories about
establishing high tech industries but never wrote about all the high tech
industries we lost due to Free Trade.
Both Brent Larkin and Congressman Dennis Kucinich never understood where
money comes from and how its value should be reproduced. Only local value
added economies work. World War 2 proved this. Our local industrial centers
won World War 2. Who would have thought, government and the media would
go out of their way in getting rid of it.
When Dennis Kucinich was Mayor of Cleveland he attacked the hand that fed us going
after the corporate world with vengeance. He failed to understand what
it takes to support real jobs in any country. On the other side, newspaper editors
like Brent Larkin were all about second hand money, supporting projects
like the current medical center without reporting how many private
sector jobs it takes to support something like this. The medical
industry is dependent on workers in the private sector to fund the
medical industry through taxes or more directly by corporations having
it as part of their support for their workers. It all takes a definition
of money as means of transactions and not something with any real value
on its own. There is no such thing as perpetual motion economics.
As our economy grew into an economy making money on money instead of
making things, I experienced about a thousand customers closing down.
Coming into the 1990s, about 400,000 workers lost their jobs related to
the auto industry and 700,000 losing their jobs related to the steel
industry. The newspapre ignored this attack on workers.
The media did not get into the cause and effect surrounding
these economic disasters. Instead they prompted reports about the
wonders of free trade and globalization. They never contested the
unemployment rate that was obviously fabricated to hide a decaying
economy. They ignored the losses suffered in values and jobs due to the
massive trade deficit that kept breaking records for years. In effect
they made the term protectism a dirty word while all of us who were for
real fair trade in balanced geopolitical settings in the whole world
were included in the negative connotation of the term.
From about 1985 to 1998, more than a million workers lost their jobs in
the computer industry with nothing really reported about this economic
tragedy and how it affected all of us deeply.
For a long time, Dennis Kucinich was outside looking in on all the
happenings and returned to the political world. A neighbor introduced me
to him while Kucinich was campaigning for Congressman. I told Dennis to
confront NAFTA and GATT unfair trade agreements and keep reciting all
the losses they have caused and if he did this, he would never lose an
election. He did do this and will never lose his congressional seat as
long as he defends the workers being crushed by these horrible unjust
agreements. I never voted for Dennis because of his other radical left
stances but he now makes history in being the only top political leader that
stood his ground against this vicious attack on the American Dream.
Those who failed to tell the story will fade away as the newspaper media
is fading away. Dennis will go down in history as one who fought the good fight
for all who labor. The economic crisis was all about different people and how they
handled the concept of second hand money.
All the major corporations that were once my major accounts are gone and
Dennis was part of the problem in the beginning but now understands
better what it takes to support a large middle class. Unfortunately the
media is still driving down detours to nowhere. They are losing their own livelihood
too because they failed their mission to tell it like is from the level of the streets of USA.
Fortunately, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has appointed a wonderful
dedicated journalist in Elizabeth Sullivan as the new Editorial Page
Editor but her expertise is driven by global conflicts and not domestic
ones. In the end, it is all about second hand money being bailed out by
big government which is also a detour to nowhere. President Obama puts on
blinders too when it comes to the major cause behind our economic crisis.
It is surprising that the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress
during the stimulus package debate last year that the best way to stimulate the
economy is to buy domestically produced goods. In other words, economies
can not be based on making money on money instead of making things.
