Tapsearch 's comments from the Slovak Spectator News

...Visiting Chicago, recently, I met a Czech who has been in the U.S. for five years. He said as a cab driver all he does is work day and night. He said he was going to give it one more year and if things were not better, he said he was going to return home. Another cab driver told us about all the criminal elements in his native land in the Urkraine.
Finally another cab driver who was Moroccan told us something very profound. He said he chose to be a slave because he did not want to kill anyone. He said we all will have to make that decision soon. During a long period in Rome, it was better to be a slave than a free man. A slave was able to get married and have family because he produced more slaves. The slaves also had a roof over their heads. The free man had to evade attacks and wander from place to place and it was difficult to find shelter of any kind.

This is what the new global economy is all about. All concerned should help stop this surge before it is too late. The great need of our times is the need for real jobs and not wars.

Free Trade is not trade as traditionally and historically understood. Today it is based on moving factories and production from place to place taking advantage of the cheapest labor markets and the least line of resistance by the workers. It is controlled by a merger of elite groupings in governments and international corporations outside of any real democratic process without the consent of the workers even though they are the core of the workday.

The process degrades Social Justice and Human Dignity in the workday. Documents like Rerum Novarum which set the moral ethics of the workday for over a hundred years are trashed. Free Trade is also illegal since there is no real democratic referendum by the workers. It is also illegal as practiced by international organizations like the WTO and others linked to NAFTA and GATT rulings not subject to individual nations laws.

When businesses no longer operate in any given local value added economic and geopolitical regions, they can do anything they want. They can decentralize, relocate, automate, go offshore, subcontract, outsource and even have no employees, facilities or machinery of their own. They can exist in name only while contracting everything out in producing a product. In some cases the only thing existing is the brand name in the USA. Everything else is somewhere else. As Franklin Roosevelt said economic diseases are highly communicable. Today these economic diseases are an epidemic fostering terrorism and wars. As the cab driver from Morocca said, he chose to be a slave rather than kill someone and we all will have to make that choice soon.
Tapsearch.com editor continously ask U.S. political leaders, the media and other channels of news this question,
Did the U.S. Government fund the moving of factories outside the country starting in 1956 and did they later fund and support the Maquiladora factories in Mexico. ( Here businesses could contract everything- factory facilities, employees and machines and exist in name only.)
So there is a long history of what is called Free Trade. The NAFTA and GATT trade agreements just confirmed what was going on for a long time and speeded up the process. There is this long history of Free Trade since 1956 informally and then formally enacted in 1994. It is a long history fo failures and yet the free traders act as if it is something new and push it more and more inspite of all the failures.

Both President Bush and President Clinton tell us for every billion dollars in exports, 25,000 jobs are created. Following this logical this means we have lost millions of jobs since our trade deficits totals in the trillions of dollars in the past ten years. However logic is not part of the mindset of free traders.

(Exerts from the Slovak Spectator by Ray Tapajna)...Free Trade is a Trap. As a tool of Globalism it is now breeding wars and terrorism. View the Cross 9/11 Tangle of Terror art work by Ray Tapajna asking who will now untangle the terror Globalism and so called Free Trade have bred---> to the right (if you click on the picture , you will go to the main pages of Tapart News and Art That Talks.

Slovakia and others must follow a very careful path to economic and not listen to the Globalists who represent at least ten years of failures. So called Free Trade is moving production and outsourcing jobs based the cheapest labor markets. When one market gets used up, they just search for another one leaving behind burn out communities and societies. The great issue of our times is the need for real jobs by growing local value added economies. This way, all in any given region or nation can grow together in a balanced fashion. The U.S. economy is now like swiss cheese that has more holes than cheese. It is an orchestra without drums. It is a House of Cards economy ready to fall. The U.S. now finds itself in a parasite condition dependent on interests spread across the globe like the colonialists and empires of old. The U.S. finds it needs to protect these interests with force something like the British Empire of old.
Globalism is based on putting workers on a global block like just another commodity to compete with the lowest common denominator down to wage slave and even child labor.

Globalis, is a new "ism" that melts Captialism, Socialism and Communism into one. It no longer matters what you are in a world of vast trans-national corporation and world organizations like the WTO and the World Bank controlling the flow of wealth and jobs. They control it outside of any real democratic process. Workers have no voice in the process. Trans-national corporate leaders openly say that individual nations must shed some of their sovereignty.
