Another Decapitator-in-Chief Of America's Working Class
It is not Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who don’t get it. It is our near-sighted Globalist-in-Chief who really doesn’t get it, following in the footsteps of that other Republican-lite president, William Jefferson Clinton. But what can one expect, given the advice he’s getting from a cadre of Wall-Streeters working with, or influencing, the White House? Or, from a president who has confessed to being a “great admirer” of celebrated JP Morgan Chase chief, Jamie Dimon?
A few days ago President Obama honored our Portland (Oregon) area with a visit to promote the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership (TPP) agreement; which for all intents and purposes is but another addition to the gallery of NAFTA, CAFTA, and PNTR ugly siblings. Perhaps an even uglier sibling in this period of expanding economic inequality!
It seems comical, yet ill-omened, how Barack Obama is herding the already decimated middle class along a path sure to reach economic oblivion, while maintaining support from much of the old guard of school-government-trade unionists which has kept the Democratic Party afloat during the last five decades in a conservative sea dominated by currents of old-time religion and misguided patriotism.
Common sense and humanity, and not just blind acceptance of global economics, tell us that eventually most barriers to competition should be coming down; and that there will be a significant trend towards greater homogenization in both productivity and personal income throughout much of world. But we might still be two or three generations away from such happening, assuming changes take place in an orderly and least painful fashion… without allowing our politicians, Democrats or Republicans alike, to follow the will of the elite that place them in power… and, correspondingly, expect a payback.
And that’s where we are today in Congress, ominously on the eve of passing this terrible TPP legislation sure to reach a smiling Obama, pen in hand ready to sign, instead of rejecting it with a forceful and merited veto.
Could it be that Obama is suffering from the same illusionary political disease as Bill Clinton, after the latter’s receipt of unmerited kudos for all the low-paying jobs created during his two terms in office? Is it so difficult to understand that job numbers can have a profoundly different significance in economic, social and political terms than labor income?
Regardless of the POTUS’ misleading sermonizing on “what’s good for the United States,” the reality is acrimoniously different. The anticipated net outsource of labor income sure to come from the TPP agreement is likely to be similar in results as past global renditions initiated with NAFTA. The economic capillary effect of this agreement (TPP) will affect labor significantly, not just in the manufacturing sector (possibly losing half as many jobs as the number lost to China and the American hemisphere in the past two decades), but also in the service sector – and here, we are not referring to jobs in low remuneration call centers, but jobs with high technical skills in both medicine and engineering, which could result in the loss of half of the now existing – and anticipated increases – programmer jobs; and a reduction in overall pay of the remaining half by a third or more.
Other areas in Americans’ lives will also be affected or threatened, from food safety standards, to the environment, to increases in the already stratospheric cost of drugs, to the protection of rights and sovereignty that we’ve inherited from the sacrifice of past generations.
So who’s to gain from this TPP agreement that Barack Obama is pushing with greater fervor than that exhibited in critical domestic issues such as immigration reform and the (dirty secret) racial divide? As it’s always the case in our predatory society, Corporate America and its circle of influential friends are the culprit… and it’s beginning to look as if the villains will get their way: Wall Street, Big Pharma, and a long list of multinationals displaying their corporate flags at the top of the pole, knowing that their safety is in the good hands of the Pentagon; all international policing costs defrayed by the American taxpayer… in its incredible masochistic docility.
ISIS’ literal style of decapitation is repugnant and shocking. US’ self-imposed economic decapitation may not appear at first as shocking, but the end result will be as gruesome to America’s working class: not the proletariat of old, but most everyone holding both blue and white collar jobs.

Anyone who thinks Obama is orchestrating anything is delusional. He can't even blow his nose (or anything else) without permission from his puppeteers.
Obama is an "actor," so he doesn't need to be a mastermind. Bill Clinton has sent two e-mails in his life, according to information released after Hillary was found to have illegally been using a private server to send her Secreatry of State e-mails. Bill established his bona fides to be president by covering up the CIA smuggling of tons of cocaine and heroin through the Mena, Arkansas airport when Bill was governor of Arkansas. Current Connecticut Governor Malloy is following in Clinton's footsteps, runninng for president after covering up the false flag staged attack on the long abandoned Sandy Hook elementary schoool. I wonder who actually killed Adam Lanza.
As to how the land of the free has spiraled down, there is the extract below on an article about about Califoornia has used traffic fines as giant hidden tax on poor people, a shakedown racket that has cost almost 5 million Californians their driver's licenses.
AP (23 May2015) Traffic fines have been skyrocketing in California and courts have grown reliant on fees as a result of budget cuts during the recession.
Twenty years ago, the fine for running a red light was $103. Today, it costs as much as $490 as the state has established add-on fees to support everything from court construction to emergency medical air transportation. The cost can jump to over $800 once a person fails to pay or misses a traffic court appearance.
Civil rights groups like the American Civil Liberties Union have found that some traffic courts routinely deny people a hearing unless they pay the amount owed up front. The debt also has to be paid off in order for their licenses to be reinstated.
On Monday, California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye directed the court system's policymaking body, the Judicial Council, to make clear that people do not have to pay off traffic court debts before they can get a hearing.
Since 2006, the state has suspended 4.8 million driver's licenses after motorists failed to pay or appear in court, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Of those, only about 83,000 licenses were reinstated.
I think you have confused Malloy for O'Malley so the whole cover up thing really isn't going to work for him unless they decide to change it to Newtown, Md.
There's an easy fix for abuse of the system like that. If everyone, or at least a majority, demanded a trial by jury (which is your right), the traffic fine abuse would stop almost immediately. The system would become so jammed-up they would have no alternative but to end the program.
The mess would take awhile to clear off the court dockets, and would teach those-who-would-rule a very valuable lesson in the costs of overreach.
Orchestrate this bitches.

dupe
Ratifying a treaty in which the people that must abide by it are not allowed to know what's in it is a sure tell it's another sell out.
One would think Americans would tire of losing their income but apparently that is not to be. Silence from some and most aren't even aware of it.
Well you X'ers and Millennials,,, this is your baby,,, no laying it off on your favorite goto bitch generation. Good luck.

... and then there's that.
well the assault on free speech/internet will be greatly accelerated as well under that prima facie fascist piece of shit.
Hah! Yeah okay, because Romney wouldnt be ramming this same shit up our asses?
If he tried to, he would have total opposition from the MSM and the travesty would be widely publicised.
You mean like 2003 before the Iraq invasion?
lol... Brian Williams will rescue us from TPP!
If you paid into Social Suck .... all your life .... the payout is niggardly .... if you recently resettled .... as a Muslim refugee .... the benefits are very generous .... that's one of many ways .... the middle class gets fucked !
In the cartoon .... they got the government pig and the fawning banker .... reversed ? Socialist will never blame the government .... the Jewish bankers ran Nazi Germany ? LOL
http://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/j...
oh, and...not all the Germans disliked Jews and a good amount of Jews were secular and German nationalists - Zionist revision has memory-holed this:
http://inconvenienthistory.com/archive/2013/volume_5/number_3/german_nat...
and
Jewish Domination Of Weimar Germany 1919-1932 : Eckart ...no justification or agreement implied, I fucking hate Nazi statism racialism and violence as much as I hate it when the Zios do it...but Jews then, as now, are clannish and ethnocentric and have disproportionate power...and have an elite that tends to disproportionately be crooks
^ the oligarchs who raped russian wealth under yeltsin were almost all jews in a country that was less than 3% jewish, aided by mostly jewish western economists etc.
doesnt mean your dentist or agent should be lumped in, but its 2200 years of the same shit from the Tribe's best and brightest.
you want to find the cause of genuine anti-semitism, look no further than the vile xenophobia and racial self worship of jewish holy texts...
"Jews then, as now, are clannish and ethnocentric and have disproportionate power...and have an elite that tends to disproportionately be crooks"
The more I read, the more I become convinced that EVERY group that, historically, has had great power and wealth, has been clannish, ethnocentric, and disproportionately crooked. Apparently, fascism works.
Also, many countries even today are ruled by small groups of market-dominant ethnic minorities, many of whom are FOREIGN to that country.
In the East, many countries are ruled by small groups of expatriate Chinese.
In the West, many countries are at least partially ruled by small groups of expatriate Israelis (with local or non-local partners). (the USA Supreme Court includes 6 Roman Catholics and 3 Judaists, but not 1 Baptist, Methodist, Anglican, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Quaker, Mormon, Buddhist, Muslim, Evangelical Christian, Christian Scientist, Sikh, Scientologist, Agnostic, ad nauseum. THAT is rule by two clannish groups, one ethnic and the other in partnership with the ethnic.)
Some other countries are ruled by other small groups of expatriates, but the Chinese and the Israelis appear to be the most prevalent.
Lastly, the further planet Earth descends into global overpopulation, the more power these expatriate groups will be able to concentrate. Because overpopulation, due to the inescapable Law of Supply and Demand, takes power away from workers, and therefore from small entrepreneurs, and gives that power to those who control "the money".
That's why I see the only possible solution for those who want "freedom" vs. "fascism" is to have fewer babies.
And, I believe, that's why governments (aka, legislators bought-and-paid-for by market-dominant ethnic minority "money men") pay people more and more to have more babies. The only group that benefits from these payment are "the money men".
None of this is sustainable . from recent migrants from the third world getting massive benefits . while the elders squeak by on pennies...meantime the middle and working class are toast .. what gets me about all this . how so many 'conservatives' on Fox noise and talk radio will defend the banking and Wall STreet class.. to he hilt . telling everyone who criticizes they are conducting classwarfare .. meantime the same people bitch about Americans wanting an increase in minimum wage.... whether a progressive or so called conservative . aka corporate whore like Limbaugh .... Americans are clueless .. many feeling ashamed for questioning how they are no farther ahead than they were in 1979 . .. until the working class . and the conservatives and progressives get over their sports team mentality .. actually believing the two parties are different . nothing is going to change.. but than likely its too damn late anyway.. . this thing is going to blow . when .. who knows but it can not go on
That "Two If By Tea" tea Rush peddles .... is the purest tasting tea I've ever had !
I strongly agree with almost everything in your post, but particularly this:
"... until the working class . and the conservatives and progressives get over their sports team mentality .. actually believing the two parties are different . nothing is going to change."

I am living on Social Security. When do I get my 30% increase in Social Security just like the minimum wagers so I can afford to buy their now too dam expensive hamburgers!!
There is the politicians who honestly believe they are acting in our best interest, yet are terribly misguided by special interests groups who heap praise, more power and even more money on their plates. I think many in the GOP and the traditional Democratic party fit this template. Enriching themselves for the good of us all.
An then there are those politicians who see the real advantage to the destruction these misguided policies create. They see them as a chance to impose an ideology that would NEVER be acceptable to a prosperous nation. They will use every tool available to divide and reduce us to our most base existence. These are the progressives. Burning down the house so as to have a better excuse to build a new one.
I don't think Progressive is the best word, but I don't know what the best word is. On the other hand, perhaps The Bankers have taken over the Progressives. But then, what group, other than the Tea Party, have The Bankers NOT taken over?
The only break .... the middle class gets .... is a tax settlement firm .... to help them negotiate their back taxes .... for a fee .... if they have visible assets and don't pay .... they get Obamaed !
We all know what Integrity is. We are all waiting for our Apology from Herbert walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, G.W. Bush, and Barack H. Obama.

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

Ohio’s improving economy and falling jobless rate is bad news for 42 workers in the state’s Office of Unemployment Operations who got pink slips Wednesday.
the GOV fires nobody (unless a federally mandated buget cut is in place ) they will just move them somewhere else to shuffle papers.
I just can't decide, should I hold out for social security or go for the 72 virgins???
SS - Are you kidding? - eternity with 70 Fifteen Yr old boys and a couple of sheep?
I know tuff choice isn't it. wish I had known about the sheep earlier, that would have closed the deal
Ben's idea of common sense is naive, my common sense and humanity tells us that the Fascists who control the USA government will not tolerate any competition against Businesses they own, so the homogenous international economy may be a few more generations away as there is still way to much opposition/momentum against fascist USA efforts
There's still "working class" in USSA??
yeah, and Hillary's their new "champion."
bwahahahaha!
Most of the jobs that could be outsourced already have been. In fact, some manufacturing is returning to the US due to increased productivity and rising labor costs in China, so that the real loser of the TPP will be China--as jobs and industries move from there to the cheaper labor markets of south and south-east Asia. Besides, those countries' environments have room, before being completely destroyed.
The fact that Peace Prize went to Nike the home of slave and sweatshop labor was no accident. That is what is in store for We the Sheeple
Obama gonna be a billionaire before Hillary's second term
During the First Great Depression it was common to hear "We can't make a decent living by taking in each others' laundry."
In this Second Great Depression, we're serving coffee and ringing up at the convenience store for each other.
When the TPP and TIPP are put into effect by the Ruling Class, even the ex-Middle Class and the 12MM Immigrants with whom they compete won't be able to find work.
Think of a continental wasteland with multi-national corporate fortresses dotting the Land.
