The Cleveland Plain Dealer, our only city newspaper, is the top newspaper in Ohio and continuously runs articles about the merits of free trade and globalization but rarely run any articles against it. I do not recall any article denouncing free trade as the cause of our economic crisis and the U.S. should get out of NAFTA, GATT, the WTO etc as a proper solution. The U.S. is not the only country in the world that has suffered under the process and other countries should take heed about the possible consequences before getting too deeply involved in it. Free trade is a giant sink hole waiting to drag any society into it.
Even good people like Cardinal Mahony actually prompt more of the same when they support the migration of workers without asking why these workers flee their own countries seeking economic survival. Good people are not
researching why all this is happening and take it for granted as something
that is naturally happening . We do not need any conspiracy theories although there are plenty of them to sort out, when our common sense should tell us that free trade and globalization did not arrive on the scene in any natural fashion but have been driven by powerful forces outside the will of the people and evidently their consciousness. The globalist free traders money changers are in control. They take advantage of the frailities of human nature by dangling cheap imports infront of shoppers who need cheaper prices to survive. The money changers play their money games, as workers shop their way out of their jobs, a massive new working poor class replaces the middle
class. The middle class that once supported all the entitlements are taken
out of the picture and society finds that they can no longer support the needs of those who were left out of the free market system.
Mexican workers like in many other nations are leaving after free trade
agreements like NAFTA sent thousands of U.S. factories to their country.
More than 4,000 U.S. factories were moved to Mexico but apparently the
Mexican workers will not take these jobs at about a dollar an hour when
there are jobs in the USA where they can make at least five times more.
Now many of the factories in Mexico are on the move again seeking labor
for even less than a dollar an hour. Many are moving to China while China
at the same time is even contracting workers in plaes like Jordan where
workers will work for less and will work for up to 120 hours a week.
However, now all of this is backfiring and our economies based on making
money on money instead of making things are burning out. In the USA tons
of dollars were thrown at the problem trying to contain the economic firestorm but this only buys time and does not resolve the problem
While this is going on, the news media using think tank reports, tell us that free trade is a good thing even though it has a history of failures for more than twenty years with millions losing their jobs and with millions missing in action from any kind of real reporting. Many are losing everything they have and that took years to accumulate. The present generations now entering into their latter years have their backs against the wall with no place to go.
Expert think tanks report the situation as if it is a minute development in the course of the great things to come. The free traders money changers were bailed out by President Obama and are in control of the massive devaluation of work and labor throughout the world. This came after President Bush's shock and awe pre-emptive wars hid the problem from the people for his term in
office. President Clinton did the same things with his Balkan wars. He was also took part in creating the Y2k crisis and used the Y2k money that was spent to fix the computers problems to make things look like we had a good economy. Greenspan says billions of dollars was poured into the economy fixing the Y2k problems. This money acted as a stimulus for a time but it was artificial money that did not fix the economy for the long term. 2000 came and exposed the problems free trade had caused.
John Perkins authored a book titled The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man that told about how big government and big money tied to world banks controls world events. It was written in 2004 and you would think that it would be a news media event but the book was put on the shelf by the media just like all of Manuel Castells books were about globalization and free trade. His writing predicted the coming of our economic crisis as the"Bewildered New World." more than ten years ago.
Sir James Goldsmith who led populist movements in both France
and England said the same thing in his book -The Trap- published in 1993 -
that's 17 years ago. There were many more top experts who told about the
coming economic firestorm but the free traders money changers had the
power of greed hiding all this reality from the people. Governments acted
as brokers and dealers for the free traders money changers and got the
people to play the game of two party politics. They had voters get
attached to one of the two major parties platforms. The voters debated
muted points while the foxes were put in charge of the chicken coop.
A major story of our times should have been about Rush Limbaugh
and President Clinton walking hand in hand down the lane to the free
traders money changers paradise cut no one has told this story yet. And
while Speaker of the House New Gingrich chanted the cry for the Contract
with America he too joined hands with Clinton and Limbaugh in their walk
to the altar of greed. Senator Dole said his whole state seemed to be
against the passing of GATT but he was going to vote for it anyway.
This all happened while the Democrats had control of the presidency and
Congress.
The trade deficit keeps breaking records which means
a massive economic value is being lost and think tanks like the Brookings
Insitute and their talking heads tell us about the myths about the
miscasting of the U.S. export situation. They never get into the massive
accounting of the differences in the percentage of lost caused by the
trade deficit that has been there for many years. They do not compute the
cost of all the lost jobs. More than 700,000 middle class production jobs
were lost in the steel industry, more than 400,000 in the auto industry
and millions in the computer industry. There are countless more examples
but they are all ignored. They talk about a small increase in exports and
I wonder how many of these exports are products being shipped to former
factories that once were in the USA.
It will take a century if ever to recoup the loss of value caused by Free Trade.
Bruce Katz and Jonathan Rothwell from the Brookings Institute even have the audacity of telling the people that the free trade is creating new jobs. They hide from the facts about the lost value suffered in the lost of millions of jobs in the USA. Reportedly, one of President Obama's jobs program cost more than a 100 milion dollars and just created 55 jobs. Other reports tell us that it takes about a million dollars to create just a single job. The Brookings Institute should compute these figures with the value of the millions of jobs that have been lost due to free trade and what that lost value adds up to. It will take centuries to recoup the lost.
While our local newspaper reports about all the local political corruption, no
one talks about the massive corruption related to the so called free market which ransacked the free enterprise system and sacrificed the value of workers and labor at the altar of greed. The Plain Dealer published my letter below but it is only a voice in the wilderness.
If you are really concerned about the future for the sake of your children and
their children pass this article and letter to all friends and interested
parties. Restoration has to come from our foundations. It has to come from
the bottom. It can not start at the top which controlls communications in
the real world. Gather together in small groups and go from there. It
takes only common sense to sort out all the problems and do not� be
bound by powerful interest groups that keeps eyes looking at the wrong
things. The first question to ask is why is this all happening. Who said
we had to compete with one another like this in a global economic arena?
Why is our prison population breaking records?

In response to Kevin O'Brien's column Thursday "What happens
when law gets lost": ( Kevin O'Brien is the Deputy Editor of the editorial page and wrote about several in county goverment being charged with crimes of corruption and bribes. Write O'Brien at kobrien@plaind.com )
As long as fair trade laws are not enforced, the same old song plays about
government based on law and justice. Our county government legal mess is nothing compared to what I saw and experienced in the private sector. It was even national and international in scope. ( Bribes are part of doing business in the free trade world.)
Unfair trade and corruption exists at all levels. Globalist free-traders utilize this
corruption and call it the free market. Both major political parties participate in this vast betrayal of human dignity in the workday.Evidently it includes the Tea Party and the Liberatarians, too. ( Those who should know better ignore the corruption in the so called "free market"
On the consumer side, the cash-register line has more influence than the voting booth over what kind of society people want. Human nature is on trial, too. ( Many consumers say it is only human nature to shop for the cheapest price without worrying how the cheap price came about. In the process, they shop their way out of their own jobs.)
