Tomorrow Pennsylvania votes. I don't mean to be cruel but if they vote for Hillary- they deserve her, Bill, their lobbyist, and NAFTA. And it's worse to vote Repubican.
When Bill Clinton (and Hillary) approved NAFTA they said the US would be the big winner. THEY were the BIG winners because he opened the doors to work money deals with corporations all over the world. While he was making the big bucks with Mexico,China, ect what happened to jobs in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania?
Clinton's Golden Voice
What happened to jobs in Mexico?
The US was inundated by illegal aliens. The biggest losers were the Mexicans, particularly the poor, uneducated and farmers. They face greater unemployment and poverty and inequality. The rich in Mexico got richer. Few jobs were created in Mexico. "You either become an illegal alien, join the black economy or become a criminal."wrote Bob Chapman in Secret Agreement To Almalgamate US, Canada And Mexico.
While we worry about our candidates tomorrow, who is watching George Bush?
José Can You See? Bush’s Trojan Taco By Greg Palast
While you Democrats are pounding each other to a pulp in Pennsylvania, the President has snuck back down to New Orleans for a meeting of the NAFTA Three: the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico.
The second reason Bush has kept this major summit a virtual secret is its real agenda. More important, the agenda-makers, the guys who called the meeting, must remain as far out of camera range as possible: The North American Competitiveness Council.
Never heard of The Council? Well, maybe you’ve heard of the counselors: the chief executives of Wal-Mart, Chevron Oil, Lockheed-Martin and 27 other multinational masters of the corporate universe.
And why did the landlords of our continent order our presidents to a three-nation pajama party? Their term is "harmonization."
Harmonization has nothing to do with singing in fifths like Simon and Garfunkel. Harmonization means making rules and regulations the same in all three countries. Or, more specifically, watering down rules – on health, safety, labor rights, oil drilling, polluting and so on - in other words, any regulations that get between The Council members and their profits
Take for example, pesticides. Wal-Mart and agri-business don’t want to reduce the legal amount of poison allowed in what you eat. Solution: "harmonize" US and Canadian pesticide standards to Mexico’s.
Why can't we grow our own eggplants? If you think eating a human waste irrigated, poison laced eggplant is a concern for Bush, think again.
The three chiefs of state will meet privately with the thirty corporate chiefs where they are also expected to legally erase more of our borders, to expand the "NAFTA highway." Technically, the NAFTA highway is a set of legal rules governing transcontinental shipment. Some fear NAFTA highway expansion will allow a new flood of cheap Mexican products into the US and Canada. Not so.
WTH!
the new "NAFTA highway" will allow Chinese stuff dumped into Mexico to be hauled northward as duty-free "Mexican" products. That’s one of the quiet agendas of this "Summit for Security and Prosperity," the official Orwellian name for this meet. Think of the SSP "harmonization" as the Trojan Taco of trade
The U.S. of A. has been long eliminated, at least economically. The Competitiveness Council is a multinational crew, with one shared set of country clubs, beach homes, art collections, union busters and lobbyists knowing no borders.
North American Union don’t realize that these CEOs won’t take away their flags or Fourth of July or Star-Spangled Banner. The rags and flags will always be kept around to con the schmucks along the Yahoo Belt into donating their children to the Iraq Occupation or other misadventures.
So there is no United States of America nor Canada nor Mexico - at least as we like to imagine ourselves in our national fairy tales: self-governing democracies run by we the people or nosotros el pueblo.
José Can You See? Bush’s Trojan Taco By Greg Palast
To sum up, we don't have jobs, our economy is in the brink, and we're losing our homes but we have lots of Chinese- made American pins to wear proudly while we sit and eat fresh produce rinsed in pesticide.
We've been conned. While we sing God Bless America, George Bush, the most unpatriotic person in America,is singing another song.
And don't think Hillary, her lobbyist or Bill's corporations are going to change the song.
