War in the Context of Everything Else
Slave Masters Rise Again
In Part 2 of War in the
Context of Everything Else, I detailed the advanced planning
for the education system - the nature of which
is revealed in the design of the system. Computer Systems
- and especially government computer systems take years to
develop and there are thousands of people both within
government and outside of government who need to cooperate
in projects like this. As such, they leave a trail a
mile wide to follow if one knows what information to look
for - and where to find it. The government computer system that
was designed and built for education and labor is one
component of a corporatized "government" management and
control system for the "assets" of a totalitarian state.
Following the
Systems
Nobody does
strategic planning better than Computer Systems Designers.
It's the nature of the beast that all of the entities
involved in and impacted by big computer systems must be
coordinated and moving in sync to all arrive at the same
place at the same time on D-Day when the system is turned
on. Because of that, one can go back to decisions that
were made in the 1980's and early 1990's and follow the
documentation to build a picture of the strategic maneuvers and elements
of the design that constitute prepositioning and
preparations for what will be known in the future as the
world's first digital coup d'etat carried out at the
administrative levels of government. The
"transformations" we are living through now are the result
of the coup - "New Rulers - New Rules".
"The good news
from Washington is that every single person in Congress
supports the concept of an information superhighway. The bad
news is that no one has any idea what that means."

Nearly everything I've
written has been the result of documenting my findings from
'following the systems' up to and including September 11,
2001 and the North American Union. It's not my intent to
reinvent the wheel by rewriting what I've already done.
Rather, it is to organize and refine the presentation of the
material and add the detail that provides the timeline and
milestones that put America on the road to fascism - ending
the United States as a nation; replaced by a cartel of
corporations hiding behind the facade of a government.
Linguistic Fraud
Before launching into the
trail of treason, a prerequisite to understanding the trail
is the recognition that the terminology they used doesn't
correspond to the commonly understood meanings of words.
In fact, one could safely say that without the use of
linguistic fraud - redefinition, misuse, and intentional
obfuscation, treason of the digital coup d'etat could never
have occurred.
The first term that is
relevant to this topic is the word "market". In common
usage, one might think of a market in the context of
"supermarket" but as it pertains to the European Union, the
term "market" was used to obfuscate the real goal of
political reorganization of the individual nations of Europe
to create a single ruling authority over all of Europe.
Every agreement signed by the nations of Europe ceding power
to the European Union was a diminution of power of the
sovereign nations of Europe.
Excerpt from 'National
Subversives Security Act of 1947'
"In the previous report
(Biggest, Big Lie) there was a link to the U.S.
State Department website and it was noted that Secretary
of State George Kennan established a new group named the
Policy Planning Staff. Their function was planning and
management of U.S. engagement (Marshall Plan) in the
recovery of Europe following World War II. The
objective of the Marshall Plan was to rebuild Western
Europe as an
economically integrated region governed by a regional
council. It was decided that the U.S. involvement
would be through the United Nations rather than direct
management by the U.S. government. The Policy Planning
Staff of the State Department was the liaison between
the United States and the United Nations - coordinating
domestic policy with the United Nations initiatives.
Because of the magnitude of the Marshall Plan and
involvement with an association of governments (United
Nations), the National Security Council was created by
the
National Security Act of 1947 (amended 1949)."
The dissolution of national
sovereignty was couched in terms: Common Market,
Community, etc. with the alleged goal of borderless trade,
supposedly to increase "security and prosperity" for the
citizens. Of course, once the real agenda of the
parasitic usurpers of legitimate government power are
revealed by the declining standards of living of the native
population, the strategy appears to be to flood the region
with immigrants who will be loyal to the usurpers because
they are getting 'Something for Nothing'. Restated,
the strategy is 'destabilization and economic
disempowerment' - exactly the opposite of 'security and
prosperity' - exposing the linguistic fraud of the
marketing.
The above is precisely what
is happening in the United States today with the exception
that the "term of art" for dissolution of our nation is
"Free Trade" which as we know really means transnational
investment agreements for borderless trade. The native
population is being destabilized and economically
disempowered by the massive inflows of immigrants - legal
and illegal. Rule of law in defense of the Homeland is
no longer enforced. Violations of law by newcomers are
for the most part ignored or the newcomers are aided and abetted by
the parasitic usurpers:
The following is an excerpt
from an article titled, "Clinton
Democrats are to blame for the credit crunch" published
in the UK. American
Pravda doesn't
provide such information to the American public:
‘Let us be clear: this
is a crisis caused on Wall Street,’ insisted Speaker
Nancy Pelosi in her consensus-strangling speech on
Monday, shortly before her fellow members of the House
of Representatives voted to reject the President’s $700
billion bail-out plan. Out on the campaign trail, Barack
Obama ventured that the root cause of the trouble in the
markets was that ‘too many people in Washington and Wall
Street weren’t minding the store’
....Unless we take
advantage of this hiatus between the crashing of
financial institutions to take an honest look at the
origins of our current predicament, then today’s spin
and myth-making will quickly harden into tomorrow’s firm
conviction. Let us be clear: this crisis was not caused
on Wall Street — it was caused in the White House. The
root problem was not financial — it was political, and
those truly responsible for this fiasco were not
bankers, nor even Bush Republicans; they were Clinton
Democrats.
...Let’s wind back to
1993 and Roberta Achtenberg’s arrival on the Washington
political scene. Achtenberg had made her name in San
Francisco as a civil rights lawyer and activist,
campaigning to keep open the city’s gay bathhouses, and
(I promise I’m not making this up) pressing for an
increase in the number of gay Scoutmasters. Bill Clinton
offered her a job in his new administration, and Roberta
Achtenberg became the first openly lesbian nominee ever
to receive a Senate confirmation. She duly took up her
post as Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity at the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
The main thrust of the Clinton housing strategy was to
increase home ownership among the poor, and particularly
among blacks and Hispanics. White House aides, in
familiar West Wing style, could parrot the many social
advantages that would accrue: high levels of home
ownership correlated with less violent crime, better
school performance, a heightened sense of community. But
standing in the way of the realisation of this dream
were the conservative lending policies of the banks,
which required such inconvenient and old-fashioned
things as cash deposits and regular repayments — things
the poor and minorities often could not provide. Clinton
told the banks to be more creative.
Meanwhile, Ms Achtenberg, a member of the kickass school
of public administration, was busy setting up a network
of enforcement offices across the country, manned by
attorneys and investigators, and primed to spearhead an
assault on the mortgage banks, bringing suits against
any suspected of practising unlawful discrimination,
whether on the basis of race, gender or disability.
Achtenberg believed racism was a big factor in keeping
minorities from enjoying the same level of home
ownership as whites. She doubted if much could be done
to change people’s attitudes on racial matters, but she
was confident she, in cahoots with Attorney General
Janet Reno, could use the law to change the behaviour of
banks.
However, when little or no overt or deliberate racial
discrimination was discovered among the mortgage
lenders, HUD’s investigators turned to trying to prove
‘disparate treatment’ of minority groups, a notion
similar to that of unintentional ‘institutional racism’.
If a bank refused loans to proportionally more black
applicants than white ones, for instance, the onus would
fall on it to prove it had good grounds for doing so or
face settlement penalties running into millions of
dollars. A series of highly publicised cases were
brought on this basis, starting in 1994. Eventually the
investigators would turn somewhat desperately to
‘disparate impact’, a form of discrimination so abstract
and rarefied as to be imperceptible to its supposed
victims, and indeed often only discernible at all
through the application of multivariate regression
analysis to information stored on regulators’ databases.
In fact, by 1995 Achtenberg was actually having to rein
in her zealots, issuing a clarification that the use of
the phrase ‘master bedroom’ in a property advertisement
was, despite its clear patriarchal and slave-owning
resonances, not actually an actionable offence under the
anti-discrimination laws.
The
Parasitic Usurpers
"Regionalization" is the
strategy of the Parasitic Usurpers regardless of whether you
are looking at the international arena or within the
domestic arena. The idea is to corrode power from
legitimate and lawful authority - handing it over to the
hidden power structure of the parasites. The parasites
then dictate policy from behind the curtain just as the
marionette makes the puppets dance.
This is how I see the power
structure of the parasites:
Insurgency from Below
The creation of insurgency
in the administrative levels of government - as far as can
be seen from the outside, began in 1983 when the La Paz
Agreement was signed with Mexico. This agreement was
for the ostensible purpose of environmental cleanup and
cooperation on the border. However, when one looks at
the agreement with knowledge of the
1980 Brandt Commission Report: North-South, A Programme
for Survival calling for a new economic relationship
between North-South with North representing the alleged
wealthy border countries and South representing the
allegedly poor border countries, it exposes the fraud of the
environmental agenda:
"Perhaps one can
illustrate part of the problem from the development of
some of the
present industrialized countries in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. A long and
assiduous [20] learning process was necessary until it
was generally accepted that higher
wages for workers increased purchasing power
sufficiently to move the economy as a
whole. Industrialized countries now need to be
interested in the expansion of markets in the developing
World. This will decisively affect job opportunities
in the 1980s and 1990s
and the prospect of employment." Page 15
Both in the way the La Paz
Agreement was written and in the implementation of it, it
served what we now know was the agenda of the Parasitic
Usurpers. The La Paz agreement was regionalism -
creating a separate international zone managed by a
supranational committee consisting of both Mexican and
American administrative government employees buried within
the Environmental Protection Agency with direction from the
State Department via the
National Security Council and it was creating an
insurgency from below the elected representatives of
government. Tyranny from above - insurgency from
below. The same insurgency was created within
the Mexican government and in fact, every government in the
entire world that participates in the global "trading
system".
[Note: The insurgency
from below goes into action dismantling the government and
re-aligning systems to link up to the global "governance"
network when the
1991 High Performance Computing Act is passed and Bill
Clinton signs Executive Order 13011.]
In the early 1980's when
the La Paz Agreement was signed, the Bad Seed from
Tennessee, William Brock was the U.S. Trade Representative.
He probably was the person who was responsible for
negotiating the La Paz Agreement. He was definitely
the person who negotiated the
first
few "free trade" agreements (that aren't about trade)
and he initiated the Uruguay Round of the GATT talks. In
fact, in some circles, he is known as the
'Father of the Uruguay Round' which led to the creation
of the WTO.
Excerpt from
2004 Pre-Summit Conference document on the Toronto G8
Information website:
The disappointment with
the Tokyo Round led the US to try to launch a new Round
almost as soon as the ink was dry.
At the 1981
Ministerial the USTR William Brock asked the OECD to
launch a program of research on agriculture and quite
new issues such as trade in services and trade-related
investment measures. At the 1981 Ottawa Summit a GATT
Ministerial was endorsed and was convened in 1982.
The timing could not have been worse. The world was in a
serious recession. A serious debt crisis had emerged in
Latin America. The old GATT club no longer existed and
Southern Countries were firmly opposed to another
negotiation. Fortunately the GATT as an institution
survived. Further, an offspring of the Ottawa Summit
was the Quadrilateral Trade Ministers or Quad, which
played an important role in efforts to launch the
Uruguay Round.
The main role of summitry in the launch of the Uruguay
Round was as a focal point for coordinating among
different institutions, the OECD, the Quad – amplified
by inclusion of some Southern Countries – and the GATT.
The OECD’s research on agriculture and services was
crucial in facilitating discussions in the GATT since
the GATT had very meagre research capability.
Canada
played an active role in this coordination and, indeed,
the creation of the WTO was a Canadian initiative.
Note: "The Quad"
includes trade ministers from Canada,
Japan, the European Union and the United States.
Trade in
Services
What is a 'Service'?
It's a job. It doesn't matter whether the job is
sweeping the street or whether it's a surgeon doing heart
surgery. A 'Service' is work performed by an
individual. For the purposes of 'Trade in Services',
there is no distinction between the 'job' and the person who
performs the job. Both are tradable commodities under
the international agreements for 'Trade in Services'.
In 1981, the Slave Masters
of the South rose again when William Brock was appointed to
be the U.S. Trade Representative. The first item on
Brock's agenda was 'Trade in Services'.
In a book
titled, "International Trade in Services: An Overview
and Blueprint for Negotiations",
Geza Feketekuty wrote:
(Excerpts - emphasis added)
APPENDIX:
THE HISTORY OF A CAMPAIGN:
HOW SERVICES BECAME A TRADE ISSUE
How do you sell a new concept such as
trade negotiations on services to the world community?
... One of the first people to
recognize the new importance of trade in services in a
rapidly integrating world economy was Hugh Corbet, an
Australian who had written on international economic
issues for the Times in the mid-1960s.
As a writer on
international economic issues, Corbet had become
increasingly aware that the "informed" public understood
very little about trade policy. Moreover, neither
the academic community nor government policymakers
seemed equipped or inclined to fill this gap in public
knowledge, which in practice meant a lack of public
support for "good" trade policy.
Corbet therefore
decided in 1968 to establish the Trade Policy Research
Center in London, which commissions articles and
books on trade policy geared to the intelligent layman
and sponsors conferences and seminars on trade policy.
As Corbet thought about the trade
policy issues the center should address, it occurred to
him that services were playing an increasingly important
role in the world economy. Indeed, it would have been
difficult for an economic observer in London during the
1960s not to be aware of the rapid growth of
international services. During these years, London
was one of the principal centers in the world for
international services such as insurance, banking,
publishing, theater, and shipping. What is more, an
earlier study of nontariff barriers to trade in goods
and how they might be tackled in GATT negotiations gave
Corbet the idea that a similar study of barriers to
trade in services might provide the basis for similar
negotiations in services (Corbet, 1977).
He therefore
commissioned Brian Griffiths, an economist at the London
School of Economics, to undertake a study of
international flows of services and restrictions on
transactions in the services sector. The resulting book,
Invisible Barriers to Invisible Trade, was published by
the Trade Policy Research Center in 1975. It became the
starting point for much of the subsequent work in the
field, and the Trade Policy Research Center has played a
key role in the development of international thinking on
trade and investment in services since that time.
First Official Recognition of Trade in
Services
In the meantime, in September 1972, a group of eminent
individuals from key industrial countries, under the
chairmanship of Jean Rey, the former president of the
Commission of the European Community, issued a report on
the long-term trade issues facing the world economy.
The Report by the High Level Group on Trade and Related
Problems provided the intellectual underpinnings for the
Tokyo Round of multilateral trade negotiations. It
contained a short chapter on trade in services and was
the first published document of any kind to discuss
trade in services as "trade in services."
The Rey group was the brainchild of Emile van Lennep,
the secretary general of the Organization of Economic
Cooperation of Development, an intergovernmental
organization that seeks to improve economic cooperation
among industrial countries through the analysis of
common policy challenges. By learning from each other,
policymakers from different countries are able to
develop a better understanding of economic problems and,
where appropriate, to establish a coordinated approach
to required solutions. Every year, the ministers
from the member countries meet in May to review economic
trends and to evaluate the major challenges facing the
world economy.
[Note: As the Chairman of the Commission of the European
Community,
Jean Rey was working on the problem of how to create a
'United States of Europe'. Obviously the free movement
of people across sovereign national borders was an issue for
European countries in order for the merger to occur -
creating a new political supra-structure, the European
Union.]
Continuing:
In 1971 many trade
policy officials in the key industrial countries had
come to the conclusion that a new effort was needed to
liberalize trade. Van Lennep therefore convened a group
of eminent individuals to analyze trade and related
problems in a longer term perspective, i.e.., to define
the problems and assess their relative urgency, consider
how they might be dealt with, and set out options for
their solution.
The decision to include a chapter on trade in services
was largely due to several individuals associated with
the preparation of the report. One was
Bill Eberle, a
prominent American businessman; another was Bertil
Ohlin, a well-known Swedish economist. A third was Sir
Richard Powell, who had been extensively briefed by a
study group put together by the Trade Policy Research
Center.
...The next major step
toward the incorporation of services in trade policy
took place in the U.S. Congress.
...It was an executive
at another company, however, who saw the full potential
of expanding the definition of international trade to
cover international trade in services.
Ron Shelp had
only recently been appointed vice president in charge of
international relations at the American International
Group (AIG), the American insurance company with the
largest international business. Shelp had previously
been with the International Department of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, where he worked on international
trade issues. He was therefore familiar with
international trade concepts, and with the assistance
provided by the U.S. government to merchandise exporters
in the form of export promotion activities and
negotiations aimed at the reduction of foreign trade
barriers. Shelp reasoned that if services could be
included under the definition of trade, the government
would give U.S. exporters of services the same kind of
assistance.
With the full support of the president and CEO of his
company, Hank Greenberg, Shelp organized a full-fledged
campaign to extend many of the provisions of the trade
act to services. Representatives from a number of
service industries joined the campaign and offered
public testimony in hearings organized by the Senate
Finance Committee.
The Trade Act
of 1974 included a number of key provisions on trade in
services. The most important of these provisions is
probably found in Section 102, which gave the president
authority to negotiate on nontariff barriers to trade.
Paragraph g(3) of Section 102 says simply that "the term
'international trade' includes trade in both goods and
services." By simply expanding the definition of
international trade, the Congress thus directed the
president to concern himself not only with barriers to
trade in goods, but also with barriers to trade in
services.
Tokyo Round Negotiating Results in
Services
In addition to these
provisions, the United States obtained an informal
commitment from the other industrial countries to
undertake a comprehensive study of trade in services in
the Trade Committee of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development. The objective of the study
was to determine if it was possible to identify trade
issues in services that would lend themselves to
negotiation in future trade agreements.
Ultimately, the Tokyo Round achieved some results
because business leaders such as Shelp and Greenberg
from AIG and Harry Freeman from American Express were
not willing to let the administration forget about
services. Bob Strauss appointed Greenberg to the
Presidential Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations,
which provided high-level private sector advice to U.S.
negotiators, and once on the committee, Greenberg kept
reminding Strauss of the legislative mandate on
services. At the same time Shelp persuaded the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce to organize a services committee,
which could monitor the government's response to the
legislation and exert pressure on the administration to
take the legislation seriously.
DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGY
TO BUILD SUPPORT FOR NEGOTIATION
[Geza Feketekuty] With the
decision to launch a comprehensive study of trade in
services in the OECD, the work on trade in services
entered a new stage. It was now possible to approach the
subject in terms of serious, long-term effort to lay the
groundwork for future negotiations. Since I represented
the United States in the OECD Trade Committee, it fell
to me to organize the campaign, and soon thereafter I
was given full responsibility for all facets of U.S.
trade policy in services.
At about the same time, a change in administration
led to the appointment of William E. Brock as the new
U.S. trade representative. Brock had developed a keen
interest in services previously as a member of the
Banking Committee of the U.S. Senate, and he brought
dynamic political leadership to the effort to integrate
services into the domestic and international trade
policy framework.
It had become quite apparent that building an
international consensus in support of multilateral trade
negotiations represented a major challenge. First,
except for the excellent study carried out by Wolf and
Company in 1975-76 and the 1975 study prepared by Brian
Griffiths for the Trade Policy Research Center in
London, information about trade in services and barriers
to such trade was totally inadequate. Moreover, very few
businessmen, including those in the services sector,
looked at international services activities in trade
terms. In fact, most people, including most economists,
thought that one of the principal distinctions between
services and goods was that services were not tradeable
and that economic activity in the services sector was
therefore insulated from global economic pressures.
Selling the
Slave Trade in a Modern Context
William Brock wrote the
FOREWORD to Geza Feketekuty's
book. Here are a few excerpts of what he said about
'Trade in Services':
For decades our
manufacturing employment has remained relatively stable
while services jobs have
virtually exploded in number. It is an
oft-ignored fact that many of those "services" exist
primarily in order to make our manufacturing firms more
productive. Informatics,
computer services, satellite communications, education
and training, financial services, - transportation,
engineering, accounting-all are available as enormous
assets for the U.S. industrial base to an
extent equaled by no other nation in the world. Many, in
fact, are specialized spin-offs from manufacturing firms
of a few years ago.
As United States Trade Representative from 1981 to
1985, I was deeply involved in efforts of the United
States to put trade in services on the world agenda, and
as Secretary of Labor more recently, I became equally
involved in helping U.S. workers adjust to the new
economy. I am convinced that a profound
understanding of the role of services in both our
economy and the world economy is required to deal
intelligently with the crucial policy issues in areas
such as trade, manpower
retraining, labor laws, education, taxation, and
regulatory reform.
Before U.S. trade officials began talking about trade in
services in the early 1980s, very little was known about
either the international flow of services or the new
role of services as a major driving force in the
domestic economy. As we began discussing trade in
services, we increased public awareness of this
forgotten element of the world economy and of the
crucial role it plays in generating economic growth.
Insights gained from an analysis of the trade dimension
yielded new insights into the role of services at home.
[Note:
Right.... it never occurred to the American people - nor
probably to most people in the world - that the "leaders" of
their countries would sell them out - returning to a modern
day, formalized system of slave trading.]
My first effort to
place trade in services on the world trade agenda in the
1982 GATT Multilateral generated considerable
controversy, and the compromise we hammered out in the
predawn hours-after several days of nonstop
negotiations-was widely reported by the press at the
time as a failure. Wrong. It set in motion a process of
inquiry into the GATT that led to a decision by trade
ministers four years later to include trade in services
as a major negotiating item in the Uruguay Round of
Multilateral Trade Negotiations.
Geza Feketekuty has
played an important leadership role throughout the
process of taking an idea and a glimmer in the eyes of a
few farsighted business leaders to a negotiation on the
world stage. International Trade in Services: An
Overview and Blueprint for Negotiations-is well worth
reading, both for the background it provides to the
negotiations on trade in services in the Uruguay Round
and the insight it offers on the issues we must confront
at home in coming to terms with the new services based
economy. The American Enterprise Institute is to be
congratulated for its sponsorship of this book, as well
as of the other books in the American Enterprise
Institute Trade in Services Series.
There are three very
important details to remember about William Brock's history.
When he was in the Senate, he was on the Senate Banking
Committee. After being defeated in a re-election
contest (1976), he became the Chairman of the Republican
party (1977-1981). In 1981, he was appointed to the position
of U.S. Trade Representative.
Backing up to the question:
How do you sell a new concept such as
trade negotiations on services to the world community?
Excerpts from the
history
of the National Endowment for Democracy:
On Capitol Hill,
Congressman Dante Fascell (D, FL) introduced a bill in
April, 1967 to create an
Institute of International Affairs, an
initiative that would authorize overt funding for
programs to promote democratic values. Although the bill
did not succeed, it helped lead to discussions within
the Administration and on Capitol Hill concerning how to
develop new approaches to the ideological competition
then taking place between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
Interest in American
involvement in the promotion of human rights was
intensified during the Administration of President Jimmy
Carter, who made it a central component of American
foreign policy. In the late 1970's America became
committed to the process of monitoring the Helsinki
accords, especially that "basket" dealing with human
rights. In 1978 Congressmen
Fascell and Donald Fraser (D,MN) proposed a "QUANGO" (i.e,
quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization) whose
mission would be the advancement of human rights. The
bill they introduced would have created an Institute for
Human Rights and Freedom to furnish technical and
financial assistance to nongovernmental organizations
that promote human rights abroad.
By the late 70's, there was an important model for
democracy assistance: the German Federal Republic's
party foundations, created after World War II to help
rebuild Germany's democratic institutions destroyed a
generation earlier by the Nazis. These foundations
(known as "Stiftungen"), each aligned with one of the
four German political parties, received funding from the
West German treasury. In the 1960's they began assisting
their ideological counterparts abroad, and by the
mid-70's were playing an important role in both of the
democratic transitions taking place on the Iberian
Peninsula.
Late in 1977, Washington
political consultant George Agree, citing the important
work being carried out by the Stiftungen, proposed
creation of a foundation to promote communication and
understanding between the two major U.S. political
parties and other parties around the world. Headed by
U.S. Trade Representative William Brock, a former
Republican National Committee Chairman, and Charles
Manatt, then serving as Democratic National Committee
Chairman, by 1980 the American Political Foundation had
established an office in Washington, D.C. from which it
provided briefings, appointments, and other assistance
to foreign party, parliamentary, and academic visitors
to the U.S.
Two years later, in one of
his major foreign policy addresses, President Reagan
proposed an initiative "to foster the infrastructure of
democracy--the system of a free press, unions, political
parties, universities--which allows a people to choose their
own way, to develop their own culture, to reconcile their
own differences through peaceful means." He noted that the
American Political Foundation would soon begin a study "to
determine how the U.S. can best contribute--as a nation--to
the global campaign for democracy now gathering force."
Delivered to a packed Parliamentary chamber in Britain's
Westminster Palace, the Reagan speech would prove to be one
of the central contributions to the establishment of a U.S.
democracy foundation.
The American Political Foundation's study was funded by a
$300,000 grant from the Agency for
International Development (AID) and it became known as "The
Democracy Program." (Note: Link

American companies are

are large, many companies are lobbying hard.
Some 14,000 American companies,

I.B.M., General Motors, Honeywell, Minnesota Mining and
American Express, formed the MTN Coalition in May to
promote the reduction of tariffs and other trade
barriers. (The initials stand for Multilateral Trade

Other companies, including Motorola, W. R. Grace, B. F.
Goodrich, Corning, National Steel and TRW, and unions
representing workers in steel, electronics, oil,
chemicals and communications have formed a smaller
coalition that is cool to the current round of talks.
Their group is known as the
Labor-Industry Coalition for International Trade.

corporate vice president for Motorola Inc., said, "We
hope a successful package will be laid on the table, but
until we see what's in it, we'll have to withhold our
judgment."
Brian Turner, executive assistant to the president of
the industrial union department of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and
the labor coordinator for the coalition, said the
group's basic concern was that the United States would
be making actual concessions in manufacturing for
"theoretical progress" in agriculture, services and
intellectual property.
"The potential benefits
are enormous, the stakes extremely high, and the
alternative of failure catastrophic," the co-chairmen of
the MTN Coalition, William E.
Brock and Robert S. Strauss, said in a recent
letter to Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Democrat of Texas, one
of the most influential lawmakers on trade issues.
Messrs. Brock and Strauss
organized the coalition with Harry L. Freeman, a former
American Express senior executive who is the group's
executive director.
In negotiations that
preceded the final stage in Brussels, progress has been
made on many fronts: new international rules to stop
piracy of patents and copyrights, curbing restrictions
on the export of telecommunicatons, construction,
tourism, financial and other services and reducing
governments' restrictions on foreign investment.
James D. Robinson,
chairman of the American Express Company, said
his company "can't lose." Should consumer
spending rise, people would use more American
Express cards and traveler's checks, he said.
Should savings rise, that would help the
company's financial subsidiaries, IDS Financial
Services and Shearson Lehman Brothers.
Third-World Competition
Do you think James Robinson
was talking about third world competition for his
corporation, American Express? Obviously
not. He was talking about third world
competition in the price of labor ("Services").
Trade and Migration
The significance of "The
Quad" mentioned above is because the objective since World
War II has been to create a borderless Europe - "European
Union". The steps that were taken to create the
"Union" involves the elimination of national borders
obviously. It also includes the ability for people to
move around Europe without regard for borders. William
Brock - and Ronald Reagan himself had the goal to do the
same thing to the United States, Canada and Mexico - calling
it the 'Free Trade Area of the Americas'. With that as
an understanding, the 1990 European Community "Migration
Policy" becomes relevant and significant to Americans and
their understanding of the government inaction on illegal
immigration.
New York Times,
"Hemisphere Meeting Ends Without Trade Consensus",
November 5, 2005. They didn't make it by 2005, but
that doesn't matter. It's on their agenda.
A Free Trade Area of
the Americas would be larger than the European Union,
though without its free flow of labor and political
integration [ lying dirtbags!]
. Benefits for the United States as the dominant
economic power in the hemisphere are obvious: with no
more tariffs and other barriers that inhibit entry of
American goods and services, American exports to the
region would boom.

the European Communities,

Migrants in the European Community".

Suiting Themselves - book by Sharon Beder
After leaving the position
of U.S. Trade Representative, William Brock moved to the
position of the U.S. Labor Secretary when he initiated the
SCANS project which was the first step in building the
'Human Resource Management' -
human asset control system for the global slave trade.
