Bizarre Politics Reports:
The Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial board endorsed Marcy Kaptur for Congress over Dennis Kucinich. However, in the insertion of one little word - "unfortunately" they show they are a globalist free trade newspaper

One little adverb reveals the truth about the major newspaper in Ohio - "unfortunately" it is unforgiving
In the past our major newspaper in Ohio showed indications they were for globalization and free trade and now they confirm it in an editorial endorsement of a political candidate. A former editor once said, they would promote globalization and free trade no matter what the readers think. I thought this was an opinion of only one editor but now know that it is the position of the editorial board of our newspaper. Like most newspapers in our country they are hooked on the revenues from slick ad inserts full of imported products and foreign auto sales ads to survive. They may be sacrimonious about being for workers and jobs in the front sections of the newspaper but prove they are something else when it comes to confronting the major cause behind our economic crisis with that being - free trade.
In endorsing Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, the editorial board of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, shows they are gobalist free traders. They say both Kaptur and Kucinichunfortunately embrace protectionism on trade. This indicates the editors do not understand what the what the opponents of free trade are all about. Those of us who believe free trade is the major cause of our economic crisis, want trade but not free trade. Free trade is not trade as historically practiced and defined. It is primarily about moving production from place to place anywhere in the world for the sake of cheaper labor. Workers become the main commodities being traded not products. We also do not believe in protectionism and we find no point in U.S.history when this was a major practice. We repeatedly have asked journalist and polical leaders to show where and how protectionism existed and how large of an influence it was in causing economic decline. Certainly the Great Depression was more about a money crisis than about trade with the stock market crashing in 1929. This left the world in a global depression with no nations having enough money to trade much of anything.
The Great Depression actually never ended but it was suspended by World War 2. It had very little to do with trade except for the new Lend Lease program. With nations having no money to buy much of anything back then. President Roosevelt introduced the Lend Lease Program which triggered our industrial base. He supplied our allies with products etc. without worrying about being paid. This can be called real free trade. He did not send our jobs outside of the country but not only kept them in our country but grew them too. This created the most awesome industrial might the world has ever known. When free trade came, the U.S. gave it all away. They chopped up our economy and sent it across the globe. The trade deficit has proved that it was just a one way deal. The U.S. has suffered a giant give away trade deficit since 1994.
I sold diagnostic and calibration devices along with many computer components to China in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I also sold them vintage mainframe computers. I wanted to play a part in getting them started but never gave our technology away. Much of this technology took thirty years or more to create. When free trade came, this technology was literally given away to the world. The high tech papers reported that about one third of computers made in the USA had to be smuggled into China. China was exporting computers to America in massive volumes while denying any imports into their country. What kind of trade is this? Free trade is a one way deal with our jobs being traded away for cheaper imports made by impoverished workers in other countries. It is not real trade. I told the Plain Dealer to please stop the lies.
