Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Trading Camelot for Globalism By Nick Ivanovich Current policy makes no sense at all. Is the government of the United States still "Of, By, and For the people"? Or, is it responsive to another ideology, Globalism, a new name for an old idea to dominate the world depriving the many to benefit a powerful few? In all its wars, Americans have sacrificed, fought and many have died for the concept of freedom, the right of individuals to live free from oppression, to better themselves and to have a voice in and influence their government. That concept raised the standard of living of all Americans for nearly two hundred years. During that time this country was the hallmark of freedom in the world, a place where the rule of law and economic opportunity prevailed; a point of refuge, where the world's oppressed, masses could, once again, breathe free. This country struggled in depression from 1929 to 1940. Life was difficult. The future was bleak. But, in a few short years from the start of WW II in 1941 to its end in 1945 the ingenuity and will of the people, fighting for survival, gave the nation a new sense of purpose. America went from slow, cloth covered biplanes to swift jet aircraft approaching the speed of sound. Through much personal sacrifice, the country changed from slow paced domestic production to an accelerated war economy that produced thousands of state of the art weapons, airplanes and ships. At wars end, the winning American "can do" spirit was transferred back to the domestic economy. Millions of homes and automobiles were built for returning veterans fostering a new network of roads that spanned the continent. The "American Dream" was alive and well. Citizens of this immigrant land knew that if they played by the rules, educated themselves and worked hard, they could look forward to a life that was even better than that of their parents. America, a proud, benevolent, secure nation was once again in the hands of a prospering people. From 1945 to 1960 the country experienced a rapidly growing middle class which began to share in the promise of an exciting future. Cities grew and new suburban communities emerged inviting first time home ownership and educational opportunity. At the same time creativity and the work ethic took war technology and expanded it to the production of a wide range of labor saving devices. Social awareness was expanded through the advent of television. The thirty year transition from depression to war to prosperity resulted in a country of optimistic, God-centered families and widespread individual prosperity. The decade of the sixties changed all of that. In 1963, President John Kennedy, who intellectually charmed the nation and scientifically challenged us to conquer space, was assassinated. Soon after, the country some called Camelot, was plunged into an unpopular war in VietNam. Young people, subject to the draft, fled the country or opposed the system with sit-ins and demonstrations. Populist leaders emerged in Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. In 1968, they were each assassinated. America was about to experience a major paradigm shift. In 1975, government of the people was undone by the Supreme Court’s infamous doctrine in Buckley v. Valeo, that "Money equals free speech." Soon after, the nation’s prosperity gauge was changed from measuring an individual’s per capita income, to measuring a corporate worker’s productivity. Over the last 45 years, America has slowly traded Independence for Dependence. The United States is now deep in debt. Under the ruse of Free Trade, industries have been encouraged to move off shore. Our trade deficit has ballooned to nearly $800 billion dollars a year. The U.S. currently transfers $200 billion each year to China, in trade imbalance. China has become the new home for many once-American corporations and their U.S. born technology. China, still a communist nation, now funds our national debt. American industry is in steep decline. Prices are rising and wages are falling. We are dependent on foreign energy, foreign investment and foreign products. Eleven million cargo containers land on our shores each year, a depressing symbol of the new dependency. To be globally competitive, American companies are outsourcing jobs and in-sourcing cheap foreign labor. The national lifestyle has been artificially propped up by a growing mound of consumer debt. The American dream, opportunity for all, has been replaced by the remote chance for a lucky few to "win the lottery". College students are having difficulty finding work. As technology and manufacturing move off shore, social work, government service and healthcare have become the "New Frontier". The lack of government response to the disaster of Katrina was a wake up call. There is no role for the people of sovereign nations in the New World Order. Citizens in Europe never dreamed that their countries would, one day, be merged into a faceless trade compliant "European Union". Prior to it happening, they were coaxed into joining a "Common Market" and then, they too were deluged with massive immigration designed to confuse and cloud their national spirit and identity. In the name of supposed economic gain, they suffered the loss of their currency, which was replaced by the Euro, and controlled by a Central Bank. Today without real borders, their vote is nearly meaningless. Bewildered, they stand and watch while outsiders manage what's left of their national destinies. Advocates of globalization envision a world eradicated of national laws that obstruct the free flow of goods, capital and labor across all borders. In this new, wealth centered, ideology, America is valued as a market, not as an icon of freedom. In the process, the ideals of Americans are being buried. The wellbeing and rights of individuals have been overshadowed by the might of monopolized, international, corporate bottom lines. Eminent Domain now favors Corporations over citizens. The Globalization of America is not about growing the middle class. Globalists in government are effectively ignoring the will of the people and the Constitution. They are dismantling the country, our laws, and our borders. Their allegiance is not to America, but rather, to a wealthy group of un-flagged corporate banking elite who fund their campaigns. Although we are at war, the President does nothing to secure the borders. They are open, not only to a massive invasion of cheap labor, but also to terrorists, drug cartels, criminals of every kind, and disease. Beyond belief, all are welcome. The current policies of the federal government are designed not to protect the country, but to destroy it. Against the will of the people, and In spite of the failure of free trade, the globalists in Washington passed NAFTA, GATT, the World Trade Organization, and the Central American Free Trade Agreement. A Free Trade zone of not just North America, but of all the Americas is desired. More agreements gave permanent Most Favored Nation status to communist China, and put U.S. companies in competition with South Africa, Morroco, Bahrain, Boswana, and Nammibia. The Agenda last November took the President to promote free trade with communist Viet Nam. In Hanoi, he did a photo-op smiling, standing in front of a large bronze bust of Ho Chi Min. Veterans be damned, it’s anything for free trade. Bush, Clinton, Bush - soon Guliani, McCain or Clinton it doesn't matter. Republican or Democrat, in war or at peace, the mission doesn't change. No domestic policy is pursued with such intense, bipartisan dedication. The President and his minions in both parties, are pushing for the renewal of Fast Track "unilateral" Trade Authority, to effectively hamstring the Congress. As our industries decline, these globalists welcome the sale of our infrastructure to foreign investors. The Plan calls for another amnesty, the so called "Comprehensive" immigration reform law. While ignoring the millions of immigrants who respect our laws and our flag stand in line, the proposed Bush/Kennedy plan would give a path to citizenship to the illegal immigrant invaders whose first act here was to violate our laws. It also includes a "Guest Worker" provision, the same concept that has proven to be a disaster in Europe . That soft sounding un-American concept will allow the import of cheap non-citizen labor at all levels, including poverty stricken low-wage, slave labor, creating an unassimilated, permanent second-class. This traitorous policy threatens the well being and livelihood of every working American, especially the poorest among us. More important, it violates the very concept of America, our core beliefs in “One Nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for ALL”. What evil will be portrayed as good so that we willing surrender our Constitution and our Sovereignty? For these gifts the Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. This unique gift of “Freedom,” admired by the world, for which generations of Americans sacrificed and died, is what we now hold in trust. For those who intend to merge this country with Canada and corrupt Mexico, in an unholy economic, security and prosperity, "American Union", make no mistake. The United States of America is more than just a market. We are a unique freedom loving people. We passionately vow to protect and defend our Constitution and its Bill of God Given Rights from all enemies, foreign and domestic. We live and die for Freedom, Not Free Trade. We believe that our government exists solely for the benefit of the people of this country, not for the betterment of off shore bottom lines. Our laws are not innded to be designed by foreign Trade Tribunals, but by elected Legislators in debate, influenced only by one higher power, that which is Divine. Our Constitution, our laws and our borders mean everything! There is no doubt that the globalists intend to change this country and the world, forever. But, they are far outnumbered by people of honor who love this country and its freedom. America may survive this treachery, but only if we are all willing, as in the past, to make sacrifices. America can survive, if we all remember our history, forgo our comforts, and go out and take positive action to stop this subjugation of the many by the few. Nothing will change without effort, sacrifice, and action. With that, and with the hand of God, America, this home of the brave, land of the free, will survive! We really have only one choice. It is our obligation to pass this Gift of Freedom on to coming generations, not to oversee its demise. With deep respect for all of those who kept the Trust before us, we, must become informed of this treachery to merge our nation. In every possible way, we must stand against it. We must take action. We MUST NOT become known . . . as the last generation of Free Americans !!! About the Author Nick Ivanovich is a board member of The Constitution Party of Missouri. http://www.constitutionpartymo.org
