Well... They say it is American demanding too much pay, pensions, and 
health coverage. You remember what those things were doncha?
During the 50s 60s and into the seventies American's dollars were worth 
something. Anybody that wanted a job. Kids in high school were buying 
new cars with part time jobs.
Along in the late 60s all of a sudden Germans and others came over and 
saw Americans as ripe for picking. I don't remember the colorful 
language one German used. he was head of the Retail Gasoline Dealers 
Association.
America had thee wealth and the Globalists saw it and went about 
manipulating government and so forth.
Now we have one dollar one vote by Global Corporations.
They make their money here from Americans in America but pay no taxes to 
support the Republic.
We subsidize and promote shipping our Production, Jobs, Economy and our 
Kids and Republic's future off shore for their benefit.
They are bringing in Illegal Aliens and legal Aliens to divide the 
population. A unified populace is not so able to be lied to and 
manipulated. They don't like that plus they like cheap labor that drives 
down Americans wages and benefits and pensions and all the rest. Their 
welfare drives up our taxes and stresses our resources driving up food 
and energy in a continuing upward spiral. Leveling the global playing 
field for global trade and global governance means devaluing the dollar 
the holy mantra of Wall Street and Brussels, London and elsewhere since 
Jimmy Carter and before.
It never was about an altruistic spreading the wealth around the world 
to turn the Bushmen of the Sub Sahara and everybody else into a 
prosperous McMansion owner with two Cadillac in the garage. In addition 
we have the socialist agenda who like the European model just fine of 
limited mobility, high energy prices, high food prices and high taxes. 
The Brussels Global governance bunch think America has had it too easy 
and has too much of the worlds resources and lives too high on the hog. 
They want to force a more 'sustainable existence" on America and share 
our wealth with them or more specifically their subjects. They have no 
intention of giving up their assumed positions of the Global Economic 
Elites or Royalty.
And there are more digging in our pockets and destroying our sovereignty 
and future for their wealth and power.
China sees that their success has reached a point where they can jump in 
with both feet militarily and the economic markets to not only take our 
wealth but the worlds and dominate and dictate the access to the seas 
and operate America and others as resource colonies and impose their 
rule. What id you think of their intent to build autonomous cities in 
Iowa and elsewhere to over see their great foe and newest colony?
What do you think of Mexico's conquest by occupation? Take their poor 
and criminals so their Wealth Elites can continue their ways of plenty 
of money in Mexico in very feww hands and the rest of the population in 
poverty.
That's were they're herding us the Global Ruling Investors and the Serfs.
Di I leave anybody out? America was for sale. Is Congress and 
Administrations ashamed? Hell no they keep wanting to put ribbons on the 
Global Economy pig so we will think it grand as we stand in soup lines
Apparently they don't ride horses, in DC or they would know to dismount 
the horse once they realize it is dead. The Global Economy sake wrecking 
America is treason. The horse is dead Americans see it. Is Washington 
still in the saddle?
