Republicans and Democrats Are On Board For Shipping Jobs Overseas, NAFTA and TPP Free Trade Agreements


During the presidential debates of 1992, Ross Perot warned America about NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreements), a function at the epicenter of the emerging one world government/economic apparatus in which the Mexican, Canadian, and American globalists have chiefly used to de-industrialize America’s economy and send American jobs overseas, never to be repatriated. Perot symbolically characterized the entire program of shipping jobs overseas as being a great sucking sound.

Ross Perot ran against George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton in 1992's presidential race. George Herbert Walker Bush was the man who met with Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, and Mexican President Carlos Salinas in San Antonio, Texas on December 17, 1992 to ceremonially sign their names to NAFTA papers, spearheading and promoting the agreement before their legislative and parliamentary branches.  George Bush’s presidential tenure ended before he was able to finalize the process of the agreement being enacted into law, so the agreement was passed onto Bill Clinton for the finalization of the enactment process.  


After many symposiums, NAFTA passed the House of Representatives on November 17, 1993 with 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats approving. It afterwards passed the Senate with 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats approving.

The impasse American citizens entrapped themselves in when having to choose between which of the two men would be the nation’s next presidential figurehead and mouthpiece for the globalists to use in hornswoggling the American people into accepting the next step in forging the New World Order in 1992 is the same impasse Americans have entrapped themselves in with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Americans still have not learned from their history. They still have not seen through the smoke mirrors of the perpetual tussle between the Republicans and Democrats notoriously in the media’s spotlight. 

American businesses are transporting themselves overseas to places where overtaxing environmental regulations and bureaucratic restrictions exist much less. These are places where labor standards are virtually nonexistent as well, and workers can be legally paid slave labor wages and have health benefits be unprovided to them. In other nations where our parsimonious American corporations are amalgamated with foreign corporations, how are American workers expected to compete with the foreign workers therein who are willing to toil for, say, 6 cents an hour and seven days a week in jobs we Americans toil in here and expect to be paid 8 to 12 dollars an hour for ? Corporations and businesses of all types will take the workers who are much more inexpensive, leaving Americans to slide further into the pit of joblessness and being subjected to more government assistance programs and foreign goods and services. 

Let us take a look at what has economically resulted from the enforcement of NAFTA. America has lost 5.7 million manufacturing jobs between the years 2000 and 2010, calculated at a total 33 percent loss exceeding the calculated losses during the 1930s Great Depression. In that period, manufacturing accounted for 34 percent of all jobs, but now manufacturing only accounts for 11 percent of all jobs. America has lost 42,400 factories since the year 2001, 36 percent of which employed more than 1,000 workers and 38 percent of which employed 500 to 999 workers. Total manufacturing Gross Domestic Product in 2008 (at $1.64 trillion) represented 11.5 percent of the United States economic output, a decrease from 17 percent in 1999, and 28 percent in 1959.  

An article from Yahoo Finance cited data from the Center for Economic and Policy Research saying “the United States economy has lost about one-third of its capacity to generate good jobs.” And that is with 34% of all American workers in 2010 having a four-year college degree, an increase from 19% of all American workers in 1979.


During the scanty employment growth of the past 4 years, 58 percent of the jobs created were low-wage jobs, as indicated by the National Employment Law Project. 22 percent accounted for jobs with mid-wage incomes and 20 percent accounted for jobs with higher-wage incomes. The low-wage jobs pay $13.83 an hour or less. During our economic slump some 60 percent of the lost jobs paid mid-wage incomes while 21 percent paid low-wage incomes and 19 percent paid higher-wage incomes. When looking into 366 different vocations between 2008 and 2012, the National Employment Law Project recorded the median hourly wages for low-wage jobs were $7.69 to $13.83, mid-wage jobs were between $13.84 and $21.13, and high-wage jobs were between $21.14 and $54.44. Only 46 percent of the re-employed full-time workers were earning as much as they did at their former jobs. About one-third reported receiving a cut in their pay of 20 percent or more. 

 The RT reported this past October that only 4 of every 10 adults in the United States are employed. The unemployment reports released earlier in October saying unemployment decreased to 7.8 percent are only in view of those who are not only jobless but have withdrawn from seeking for any work. If you are seeking for a paycheck, have submitted in job applications within the past 4 weeks, and are working part-time, you are still considered as being a part of the labor force.  When looking at the employment to population ratio, 58.7 percent of Americans are working, leaving in total 82 million or 41 percent of people unemployed.


All of the those referenced numbers above signifying a moribund economy are what Obama’s supporters will say has been “inherited” from the spoils Bush caused, much of those spoils linking to NAFTA, and that it takes more than one presidential term to stabilize an economy. Accordingly, in the eyes of his supporters, Obama is assoiled for any noteworthy progress not being made that he promised to have be made during his tenure. Contrarily, if Obama truly has been heroically and untiringly working to salvage this economy from the pernicious policies of Bush, any reasonable human being would rationalize that Obama’s administration would listen to the admonishments being given by their Democratic associates in this video and the many other American citizens and political leaders who have censured NAFTA over the years.


Many politicians have no intentions for terminating our participation in these unfair trade agreements with every manufacturing market of the world so we can consume every good we can manufacture domestically, have our Gross Domestic Product grow exponentially and create millions of jobs here in America. Obama is trotting on the way of the globalists despite the fact he proclaimed many times that “I don't think NAFTA has been good for America and I never have” as well as saying that he “opposed NAFTA and voted against CAFTA”. 

Much like how Mitt Romney has "flip-flopped" and repeatedly changed his stances on many issues, Obama has done so with this issue. Before being instated in the Oval Office, he promised multitudinously to “renegotiate” our terms and standings with NAFTA and said we “should use the hammer as a potential opt out and as leverage to ensure that we actually get labor and environmental standards that are enforced.” 


In this video the CTV network queried as to whether or not Obama lied to Ohio about NAFTA and reported that Obama had confessed about his false promises of renegotiation on NAFTA saying “Don’t worry. It’s campaign rhetoric. Don’t take it seriously.” 


Remember when we were promised not free trade, but “fair trade?" 

Where is Obama now on these terms and agreements concerning NAFTA?

Obama’s administration has been focusing on implementing new measures in the free trade zone with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Totalitarian redefinitions of intellectual property will be foisted onto the public with this agreement. In rewriting copyright laws, internet user’s freedoms of expression along with their rights and claims to internet privacy and acquisition of crucial information via the internet will be eviscerated. In conjunction with stripping innovators of their rights and claims to copyrights, trademarks, patents, and perhaps geographical indications, this is designed to have innovators of varying types be accused of copyright infringement in situations where copyright infringement was not committed. The internet’s global infrastructure will be transformed with this. 


The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement--- “NAFTA on steroids”--- is merging Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam with the United States in negotiating a treaty and restructuring social contracts and the standards of worldwide trade, wage, and regulatory policies without the mainstream press giving any detailed coverage on it, all at the behest of the aristocrats systematizing the New World Order. As the United States hectors economically fraught countries into joining under the auspices of an unusual provision in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Canada and Mexico have joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership this October in the meantime having Japan and China scheduling to join later. While NAFTA has provided ways for transnational corporations to base themselves on conditions and territories where they can pay their worker’s slave labor wages and avoid paying for their healthcare and pensions, The Trans-Pacific Partnership takes everything a few steps further in giving transnational corporations the legality to lower their worker’s wages even more, evade or self-exempt from paying penalties for environmental damage, be non-compliant with laws intended to protect the environment, consumers, and workers, and can sue governments to receive compensatory funds for any laws that have impinged the transnational corporations. Precedents being established by the Trans-Pacific Partnership will endow transnational corporations with the prerogative of litigating against countries’ laws, regulations, and court decisions in international tribunal courts whose pronouncements in all ways trump that of any countries’ domestic judicial courts.  Conflicts of interest have no hindering legal impact on the consciences or aggrandizements and careers of those who masterminded and support the Trans-Pacific Partnership. 

The Trans-Pacific Partnership aims to terminate Buy American laws. Only 69 members of the House of Representatives seem to be aggressively opposing this, and it can be read in a letter they wrote in “strong support of Buy American procurement policies” articulating their concerns about how everything being proffered will “adversely impact American jobs, workers, and manufacturers.” Furthermore, they said, “This could result in large sums of U.S. tax dollars being invested to strengthen other countries’ manufacturing sectors, rather than our own. At a time when U.S. manufacturing only employs 11.71 million people, a 40% decline from its peak in 1979 and the lowest since 1941, we simply cannot allow this to happen.” 

Unfortunately, while members of both the Democrat and Republican parties signed their names to this letter, the many Democrats and Republicans in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement outnumber them. This comes as a new staggering eye-opener showing how majorly dubious most politicians are, regardless of how much one politician exclusively and ornately declares himself/herself as having genuine intentions of good will (in reality no good will) for the American people.
