I have described in my book, “Liberty on Life Support,” the American economy and the country in general as a comatose patient. There was even a widely circulating cartoon on social media picturing Uncle Sam on a hospital gurney, attached to life support, barely clinging to life. At first glance it may seem a gross exaggeration until you actually look at the national debt clock, understand the true state of the economy, the condition of the socialist and collectivist education driven by Common Core, and the political power and corruption.
It seems that fundamental changes are occurring around the globe, driving countries to de-nationalize, to destroy their sovereignty, and to globalize under the guidance of the same U.N. elites who know what is best for an “overpopulated planet” that is going to be destroyed by a manufactured global warming Armageddon.
If we accept the financial terms dictated by the trillion-dollar climate change industry, too vested into its own financial gain to care about the inhabitants whose lives and futures are expendable to the whims of the few billionaires, we might be spared our doomsday fate by allowing ourselves to be literally taxed to death. Money always solves problems for bureaucrats; why not tame Mother Nature with taxed money as well?
Our country is a sick patient who is being experimented upon by transnational groups that are intravenously administering “transfusion” therapies that are not in the best interest of the patient. It is an experiment that is supposed to prepare the patient for integration into the global master plan.
These transfusions seem to be quite toxic to the sick patient, especially when the treatment is administered against the will of the people. Once the patient is infused with so much globalism, the arteries are left wide open and the patient is likely to die, unable to defend himself from the onslaught of foreign body invasions. At such a point, nationalism will disappear, sovereignty will be gone, and the strange idea of global citizenship will become mandatory.
Alienating people from their national roots, from their identity, culture, language, and history, will certainly endanger their safety and survival. This transfusion of globalism is likely to change the patient from a solid nationalist grounded in history into a Frankenstein-ish metamorphosis that will remove the patient’s spine.
The fundamental transformation around the globe is not going to leave any country unscathed or unaffected. The master plan is composed of many treaties, public-private partnerships, committees, organizations, and other foundations for the “public good.” Unfortunately, the good public had no input into its own plans, and was never invited at the planning table.
Here are some developments that have already occurred, fully advanced and propagandized by the main stream media:
– The institution of family has been discouraged and derided; fertility rates have dropped precipitously among the civilized world.
– Large groups of people have left their countries for economic reasons or were displaced by war and tribal rivalries.
– Increasing health issues due to poor nutrition or poisoning of the food supply with unnecessary toxic substances used as “preservatives.”
– The dumbing-down of education, glorifying mediocrity and bad behavior, excusing violence, deriding honor, love, kindness, patriotism, respect, sacrifice, diluting and destroying the work ethic, and erasing history, culture, and ancestors of note.
– Destruction of the societal cohesion united under one nation and one God.
– The excessive and massive spending that put many countries into huge and unpayable national debts, affecting the future of generations to come.
– The damage to Christianity and the Church through its transformation into a political body that advocates collectivism and social justice.
– The destruction of traditional capitalism and private property and replacement with crony capitalism.
– Corruption and harm to the rule of law.
– Promotion and advocacy of atheism, pornography, and deviant life styles as the forced norm.
– Endorsing abortion, the sale of body parts, and trafficking of human organs and of sex slaves.
– Societal reorganization around the climate change industry under a master plan called Agenda 2030.
– Giving up sovereignty to an international body such as the United Nation, or to a transnational entity like the European Union, or to a partnership such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Presidential candidate Donald Trump talked about China and the bad trade deals that Congress has made with foreign countries to the detriment of our nation. It flew by the ears of most people unless they were directly involved or victims of such bad trade deals like NAFTA.
On November 5, 2015, our government released the full 6,000-page document of Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, a proposed 12-nation trade deal which is skimpy on trade and large on giving away our manufacturing sector to the third world. https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/free-trade-agreements/trans-pacific-partnership/tpp-full-text
Seeking to establish one huge market, similar to the failed EU, TPP proposes to eliminate tariffs and other barriers to goods and services, trade, and investment, production and supply chains among TPP members, creating jobs in places other than U.S., raising the third world’s living standards by transfer of wealth, and increase welfare in third world nations. The tariff schedule includes “all goods,” about “11,000 tariff lines” and “all service sectors.”
Investments will be made via TPP in digital economy, green technology, commercial relations, and capacity building assistance in needy countries (more wealth transfer from the U.S.). Little or no customs control will release goods immediately. Cross-border services will be supplied electronically. Digital E-commerce, environment, and custom duties are also addressed.
Under environment heading, marine fisheries, conservation issues, biodiversity, invasive alien species, climate change, and environmental goods and services are discussed. This document seems more about every facet of the economy and much less about trade.
Financial services, government procurement, intellectual property, investment, labor, legal issues, rules of origin, technical barriers to trade, telecommunications, temporary entry, textiles and apparel, and trade remedies are included in this huge document.
If Congress has not read the 2,700-page Affordable Care Act before passing it in secret, in the dead of night, they certainly will not read this monstrous 6,000-page TPP proposed trade bill. Immediately, Bernie Sanders office wrote that the bill was “worse than I thought.”
“This trade deal would make it easier for corporations to shut down more factories in the U.S. and ship more jobs to Vietnam and Malaysia where workers are paid pennies an hour. The TPP is a continuation of our disastrous trade policies that have devastated manufacturing cities and towns all over this country from Newton, Iowa, to Cleveland, Ohio. We need to rebuild the disappearing middle class, not tear it down.”
“The TPP would allow foreign corporations to sue federal, state and local governments in an international tribunal for passing an increase in the minimum wage or any other law that could hurt expected future profits.
“The agreement would threaten American laws that protect the safety of the drugs we take, the seafood we feed our families and the toys our kids play with every day.
“At a time when prescription drug prices are skyrocketing, the TPP would make a bad situation even worse by granting new monopoly rights to big pharmaceutical companies to deny access to lower cost generic drugs to millions of people.
“Outrageously, the proposed agreement includes violators of international human rights, like Brunei, where gays and single mothers can be stoned to death and Malaysia where tens of thousands of immigrant workers in the electronics industry are working as modern day slaves.” http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/bad-trade-deal-worse-than-i-thought-sanders-says
I found myself agreeing with the socialist Bernie Sanders that a trade deal should benefit our country, our working families, not CEOs of multi-national corporations looking for cheap labor, low corporate taxation, and no burdensome rules and regulations.
According to A. J. Cameron, “free trade is euphemism for moving jobs out of the U.S. with the intention of destroying the U.S. economy, in order to bring us into the One World Government fold. NAFTA and GATT were just warm-ups for TPP.” The concept of free trade is just a ruse to facilitate the redistribution of jobs to other countries. The U.S. loses because “free trade stifles employment and wage growth,” forcing more Americans to depend on government for daily subsistence. Cameron believes that “the corporate tax rate is artificially high to provide cover for globalists to offshore operations and jobs. They have created a problem and designed a solution that only profits them.”
Corporatist globalists win all around because of lower wages and job redistribution overseas where regulations and anti-pollution measures are lax or non-existent which allows them to pollute away. This flies in the face of their so-called concern for the environment and for green growth much touted business model.
China is not part of this “treaty” they call “partnership.” But there is a provision for a non-member nation to request membership into this “slush fund” for the corporatist elites.
Whether this profound crisis across the globe will motivate citizens to save the comatose patient called USA remains to be seen. The experimental global change to de-nationalize, to devolve us into multi-nation “partnerships” in the name of free trade, and the fundamental transformation of western societies will have deep and long-lasting consequences for generations to come.
You nailed it. But, people don’t want to hear this. They’d rather trust ‘our government’ and believe they will do whats right. I was one of them. But the more research I did, the more I read from a variety of sources and authors, the more I opened my mind to what really is going on around me and around the world, the less I could ignore the facts. We were raised to believe that America was all powerful. We believed we were different than all other countries. An entity all our own. No one could touch us.
Life has gotten busier over the past 30 + years. Now both parents work or single parents have 2 jobs due to our income not stretching as far as it did. We have continuoulsy been told, ‘don’t worry. Things will get better. Trust us. We know what we are doing”. And we trusted. Sadly, I believe that has been a big mistake. Once you face the fact that you have been mislead, lied to and used, you either wake up, get angry and.try to find out what the hell happened – when did it start happening and who is behind it………….or you just call it conspiracy theory and keep on living your life and leave your head in the sand. That is so much easier, than having to face some hard cold truths, maybe changing how and what you believed and stand up to the injustice of it all.
We all want to be happy. To laugh and play. We want movies / books with happy endings. News with a positive slant etc. We don’t want to see or hear about sad things, angry things or horrific news (which We tell ourselves is ‘somewhere else – another city, state or country – and doesn’t affect us’). But can we still ignore the bad and the negative? Isn’t it coming closer and closer? Isn’t it affecting our lives OR the lives of people we know, one way or the other?
We have a short window of opportunity here. We can stay with things as they are. Status quo. Ignore what’s been and is happening. Ignore the fact that our powerful elite in our government, even our media ( under the umbrella of just a couple of powerful people), the top corporations and yes, the same elite in governments around the world – most tied to the EU and UN – have a plan and we, the average citizen have no say in our future.
OR
We can take a chance and tell them ‘we will no longer be your patsies. We will no longer play your game. We will no longer be the sheep. Our forefathers, our military and many other patriots, didn’t risk their lives and the lives of many others, FOR NOTHING.
Petra, well said!
