Destroy Trump for opposing NAFTA
By Jon Rappoport
NAFTA...The North American Free Trade Agreement...born on
January 1, 1994...it's a deal among the governments of the U S, Mexico
and Canada.
One group has stated:
"Negotiated behind closed doors with hundreds of official
corporate advisors, NAFTA was radically different than past trade deals
that focused on traditional trade matters, like cutting border taxes.
Instead, most of NAFTA's provisions grant new powers and privileges to
multinational corporations."
So Trump recently spoke out decisively against NAFTA---and as
in any situation where he speaks at all, he's attacked by the press.
Here is a pop quiz. Here are three statements about NAFTA. You decide who uttered them.
ONE: "...most of NAFTA's provisions grant new powers and
privileges to multinational corporations. These new powers make it
easier for corporations to outsource jobs...NAFTA's 'investor
protections' create incentives for corporations to relocate production
and jobs elsewhere. Indeed, the U.S. has lost more than 950,000 American
jobs due to NAFTA, according to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
database."
"Plus, NAFTA guts the Buy American policies that require the
government to buy American-made goods when spending our tax dollars.
This outsources our tax dollars rather than investing them to create
jobs here."
"NAFTA has also lowered U.S. wages, increased inequality, and
hurt U.S. manufacturing and agriculture in all 50 states. At the same
time, it has decimated the Mexican economy, driving millions from their
homes."
TWO: "I will fundamentally rewrite NAFTA, other trade agreements...Not
only did I oppose permanent normal trade relations with China, I stood
with Steel workers and united electrical workers in opposition to
it...Normalized trade with China cost us 3.2 million jobs including over
120,000 here in Pennsylvania."
THREE: "Remember, NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever
made. The U.S. lost thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. We
were far better off before NAFTA - should never have been signed. Even
the Vat Tax was not accounted for. We make new deal or go back to
pre-NAFTA!"
OK? Ready with your answers? Yes, you guessed correctly from
recognizing the rhetoric---statement 3 was written by President Trump.
Statement 1 was written by Lori Wallach, who works for Ralph
Nader's group, Public Citizen, which is decidedly on the political Left.
And statement number 2 was made by none other than presidential
candidate and avowed socialist, Bernie Sanders.
What's the main difference between these three characters?
Wallach and Sanders can say anything they want to, and the amount of
heat coming their way is relatively minor. No matter what Trump says, he
gets heat. And yet...
On this MAJOR issue, NAFTA, and free-trade treaties in
general, Wallach, Sanders, and Trump are in agreement. They all see the
insanity and criminality. A socialist, a far-left activist, and a bull
capitalist.
Thus demonstrating that, for the press, it matters not what you say, it only matters who they decide you are.
And they decide who you are according to an agenda. Whose
agenda? Simple: Rockefeller Globalists, who love free trade treaties,
who have spent decades crafting them and foisting them on the public,
who see President Trump as a wild card unpredictable swaggering
cowboy...
