CAFTA to benefit U.S. consumers
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Jul 30, 2005 â€â€

The legislation victory allowed the administration to push ahead with its agenda of liberalizing trade, including the greater goal of agreement in the World Trade Organization among 148 nations on a global trade deal.

Welcome to One World Government.

Congratulations TRAITORS....you won a BIG ONE, didn't you?

So tell me Pro-CAFTA MORONS, why did you need CAFTA if you're planning a GLOBAL TRADE DEAL?

Isn't Central America part of the WTO and the Globe?

Isn't China part of the WTO and the Globe?

So, tell us the Truth. Why did you really want CAFTA?

Oh, yeah, I already know. To flood the United States with "free-flow of PEOPLE, LABOR and goods" with special emphasis on the PEOPLE AND LABOR, because as you can see from this report above:

$2.7 Billion in exports

$2.8 Billion in imports

Lets see, so there is a NET LOSS on Trade Deficit so our US Trade Deficit will RISE...not good.

The Central Americans only net a gain if these figures are accurate which I seriously doubt, .5 Billion.

For 6 countries, they sold out their farms and small businesses for a net trade gain of $500 mm. They'll lose many times that in local economic control and profits.

BAD DEAL ALL THE WAY AROUND.

So now you can go "cry" to the WTO! I'm sure they'll care...ha ha ha ha!!

Costa Rica....hold firm and stop this NONSENSE!!

Nicarague...raise hell and stop this NONSENSE!!

Why are they still trying to sell us on this? Perhaps they are worried that it can be repealed.

JP - Likely because they know they have to soften us up for the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) --- Bush, Congress (Supporters) and the Corporate Globalists know what happened here and the fact is that they were "shaking in their boots" and had to go all the way down to plan E (voting/bribe process) to get CAFTA passed (Bush was saying any excuse issue). The fact is that 'We the People' drew and spilled blood all over. "FREE" trade is limping with a broken leg now.
Now that this "FREE" Trade crap is fresh in Congress's mind and 'We the People's case struck home, the same case should be readily made (timely- soon) and heightened for the even worse FTAA.
Bush will sign CAFTA Tuesday and have a media fanfare about it. Call the White House Mon. and Tues. and tell him shame - (202) 456 - 1111.

Dear Friends: (a bit lengthy but please read)

WHAT PRESIDENT BUSH, VP CHENEY and the ADMINISTRATION DID ON 7/27/05 and the time before for the CAFTA vote.

I write this with the sincerest of hopes to bring insight from what I and many of us heard and witnessed on 7/27. Also to see the strategy and signs of this Administration and its associated Globalists when the big daddy, the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas), starts being asserted.

(On a side note, did you know that FTAA Proponents also want to see that Miami, Florida become likened to the New (International) U.S. Capital or HeadQuarters for the new hemispheric region (the Americas). Watch Gov. Jeb Bush's (Brother buddy)words and actions about the FTAA as well as other Reps/Senators from Florida. They know the FTAA will be a slew of new GOVERNMENT jobs, construction and investment in Florida. Already the Miami Herald newspaper has talked in such gleeful terms. The Miami Herald is one to watch.)

Back to CAFTA ...

Noted is that a couple weeks ago before 7/27 there were news reports declaring how good or an upswing in the U.S. economy has resulted. President Bush was commended that his "trickle-down" tax cut economics is working. Sean Hannity was on the radio and fox news saying, "See ---told you so."..........
Feel good news on the U.S. economy done to put before Congressmen ---'The economy is good so let's do CAFTA anyway - what the heck.'
(I say that Alan Greenspan is also a worthless puppet)
This economy is stagnant or fake (debt propped up).

The week before the CAFTA vote - President Bush speaks before the international body, OAS (Organization of American States), using all sorts of security and prosperity excuses. Speaking at the OAS makes it apparent BEFORE THE WORLD COMMUNITY that CAFTA involves the United States and that the U.S. will be embarassed WORLD WIDE for not taking part to pass CAFTA. This speech also seeks to make Americans petty and belittled. It's all about the WORLD. Why surely the big, wealthy U.S. had better help and join in whatever way with these broken, starving, poor Central American Nations. Why not speak before the American People if CAFTA is so PRO-JOBS FOR AMERICANS, Mr. President??

Two weeks before the CAFTA vote President Bush then makes a sly calculated Friday visit to only one specific area of the U.S. - North Carolina. No other place in the Nation gets such a visit to hear about the prosperity and goodness of CAFTA. On the Social Security issue the President traveled all over the U.S. The NC visit was an attack of political heat upon the 'NO' vote Representatives of NC. Why is President Bush sneaking around his own U.S. Country?? Certainly a Great War Time President should be bold and outspoken. The darkness that surrounds this action is very telling and disturbing. This is not goodwill Presidency.

Why doesn't President Bush speak before the American People on prime time TV like he did with the Supreme Court Nominee?? The American People should be informed of what they are entering into since it is their very businesses and livelihood - like the Sugar Industry. Certainly a National Trade bill much like NAFTA is to impact Americans. WHY??--- Becuase he knows CAFTA will hurt American Jobs and damage the United States.

On 7/26 - Bush meets and speaks specifically with just the Republican Representatives. This was a hammering --"Fall into Party Line" or the Republican Party will be embarrased unable to to pass anything and look like incapable buffoons speech. More excuses used about CAFTA---important for "stability in the region", "Our Neighborhood of Central America could threaten the U.S. with Terrorism". Bush decides that all economics aspects of this TRADE bill are to be thrown out the window - because they are terrible anyway - which they are. Then he even brings the immigration issue as a reason to pass CAFTA. Bush even drags out his tired excuse before many 'Christian Family Value Repubs.'---"Family Values don't stop at the Rio Grande." This tired statement that goes way back also demonstrates where Bush's mind is on the Border/Immigration/Border National Security --he could give a hoot about U.S. security as he is so interested in getting money South of the Border in order to "integrate" America.


On 7/27, Bush,Cheney and all the minions of the Bush Administration get going for a day of brow-beating, extortion and scare tactics on their 'pitiful weak' opponent called CONGRESS which stands for the American People. Bush, Cheney, Portman, Gutierrez and others (who knows maybe Condi Rice and other CFR Members) all LITERALLY trod over to CAPITOL HILL to sit around Congressmen in chairs and sofas, hang over their shoulders,hang on them, give them faces of 'shame for not supporting the U.S. President',etc. Can you imagine the dark portrayals here --it's terrible. Dictator Bush is pushing Congress around like a broken ragdoll and sidestepping Congress on a number of actions. (the latest now being the Bolton nomination - however The Constitution does allow this- Article 2 section 2 bottom.) BUSH - "I'm just gonna do it---and what are you going to do about it".


Some of the slick strategy and last minute calculated assaults on THE WAY TO SELL CAFTA was to make CAFTA about NATIONAL SECURITY and also using the popular IMMIGRATION issue upon itself.

GEE - Scared TERROR-minded Reps. certainly know that NATIONAL Security of all things is critical above any other issue or obstacle. Gee - MR. Bush is the NATIONAL SECURITY President who knows best.
NATIONAL SECURITY?? as all Reps. look aghast!!

NATIONAL SECURITY - CAFTA needs passing or Central America will fall into Civil War again, Terrorism will be generated. U.S. Security is literally in the hands of Central Americans because their stability with no poverty means they won't come up to America and throw pebbles or develop Terror camps (wishful thinking). If we don't make an "alliance" with these Nations, big bad COMMUNIST CHINA will swoop in to take the business or make them Communist. Meanwhile the U.S. is so wrapped up in Chinese Communistic Business its dangerous to --- NATIONAL SECURITY!! Then it's the rosy sounding --"it's our Neighborhood", "Backyard", "Hemisphere" who feel they are owed something by the over-welfare generous EASY U.S. ---why not make a Trade Agreement that pillages U.S. wealth.

IMMIGRATION - Many of the Congressmen know they are in trouble on this rising issue and so a good excuse for Bush is to somehow make CAFTA explained as helping to stop illegal immigration. National Security and "prosperity" are more important than quibbling about goofy, silly immigration, Bush posed. Bush also knows that many immigration control groups are against CAFTA and that the Congressmen are hearing these concerns and this makes an excuse for the Reps. to defend a yes vote. This issue was thrown in like a bone to a pack of starving wild dogs.
The lame excuse was ---CAFTA will inject money, jobs, democracy to Central America to make them want to stay in Central America - hence less illegal immigration. Just throw the money and stolen American jobs at them and Immigrants will stay home. Bush fixed that immigration issue up with a good knifing.


THE CALCULATED ANGLING DECEIT ON SPECIFIC ISSUES - such as done on immigration here is staggering and shows the twisted depth of bringing any issue on a TRADE BILL(that's supposed to be about beneficial economics)!!

Bush essentially scared the hell out of the Democrats (it's National Security/terrorism time) and then threatened Republicans with Party Line, "we'll look like idiots" (with the top Elites and the CFR) fiasco along with Corporate dollars and deals of course. Now even the vote tally and the way it took place is questionable. Casino-like Voting with bribes and the the Highway Bill brought forward to be like a buffet of deal cutting.

This is not goodwill Presidency. Congress must be notified of how they are being treated and abused by the now consolidated power of this President. I suggest writing letters of disapproval and votes of 'No Confidence' in President Bush.

This letter here is to illustrate the depth of deceit, the raw horsepower, the deal cutting and maneuvers in SAYING ANY EXCUSE TO MAKE CONGRESS AND AMERICANS CHOKE and swallow Bush's Global agenda --- where America becomes a Third World Nation!!! Under President Bush's 2 terms - America will go from Superpower status to 3rd World brokenness just to satisfy the WORLD COMMUNITY for its transgression of the Iraq War. Selfish Americans are expected to feel ashamed is what Bush is saying.

There is a gigantic difference between 3 different levels of international Trade --'Protectionism','Mutual Positive Global Trade', and one-sided 'Wealth Transfer/Foreign Aid' (giveaway the 'Farm'). CAFTA and the FTAA are the last one not to even mention sovereignty destruction included in what is called a "TRADE BILL". Bush and the Globalists want to label us as 'Protectionists or Isolationists' which is what was said on C-span that night and is far from the truth. Americans know they must compete and export/import globally, and are simply saying that We reject bad Trade that 'rips us off' completely to the point of damaging the Country and our children's future. The motives behind passing CAFTA though has nothing to do with it's terrible Trade economics anyway.

Is Bush's plan simply a change of business/economy cycle dynamics where change is inevitable and he is saying it is to America's long-term benefit?? That is what he and Globalists want to contend but there is an underlying motive that goes right along with this excuse and it LIKELY is the New World Order. NO - the evidence that Americans see going on shows that it is NOT simply economy cycle dynamics - it is shamefully destructive (much more than just compassionate international relationship - United States helping the World). MOST telling of this the U.S. Border situation and the stance on illegal immigration. Americans now have to contend with illegal immigration in their daily lives, everyday in the smallest of towns -that is the telling Border problem that eludes to INVASION and HARM of COUNTRY.

Patriotically,


P.S. - Mind you that I once supported President Bush, and by all means I want to be able to support and back my American U.S. President especially during a time of War. But what is occurring now smacks of impeachable offenses and at the very least seeks to disregard ANY oath or responsibility to actually building up Americans or the United States. Combine Bush's illegal immigration/Border/Homeland Security stance, calling Americans 'Vigilantes', Job Out sourcing stance, The Iraq War as now a diversion to pass and do whatever he wants, on and on and on

RonLaws...excellent letter.

In a few words, it's about WORLD RULE BY GLOBALISTS at the expense of American Jobs, American Sovereignty, and American Civil Liberties.

Americans will be unemployed and improverished.

Americans will be displaced by foreign nationals.

America the Beautiful, Land of the Free, will no longer exist.

American children will be second if not third fiddle to foreign nationals.

Americans angry and upset about these things will be closely watched, monitored, considered dissidents, if not enemy combatants, rounded up and detained or shipped out to third world locations within the Hemisphere.

The US Government has decided a destiny contrary to American interests.

Americans no longer control the US Government, not one branch, not one department.
