While the paid propagandists of the “mainstream media” continue to cast President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) base in cartoonish terms and do all in their power to avoid and obfuscate the real fight that is happening, the truth is coming out. The fight between MAGA-Trump and the Old Guard-Deep State is purely economic. The establishment power — Wall Street, Deep State and their droogs, and above all the central banks and their constituent bank owners — are nearing the end of their reign. What the Trump administration has been doing only threatens to accelerate their demise.
Closing the border and beginning the process of deportations may be very popular with the people. But the agricultural industry and labor-intensive businesses hate it. They want that endless flow of uneducated, low-wage surfs to continue. Their large profits depend on it.
And trade deals — the ability to move capital wherever and however a Wall Street banker or investment guru wants — are crucial elements in the global Ponzi-scheme that loots local economies and then moves on with no regard for the damage they have caused. To his credit, President Trump has moved to end these one-sided rapes of the American heartland. Following the examples of Alexander Hamilton and Presidents Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley, the Trump tariffs have worked exactly as predicted to the direct benefit of the American people.
But nobody should think for one second that the people who have “run the world” for the past 80 years following the end of World War II have any intent on fading away. They are even now preparing the plans for the next, more devastating round of “globalization” that will crush all national movements and render all economic interaction to mere digits on their universal calculator.
No less a voice than Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase bank is now calling for a massive trade deal with the European Union and the revival of the debunked and defeat Trans-Pacific Partnership. Either — or most certainly both together — would be the death-kneel for America. Everything that has been done to “reindustrialize” America and bring in trillions of dollars of investment for productive capacity would be lost. What Dimon advocates on the pages of the Wall Street Journal is nothing less than the surrender of the United States to a cabal of bankers, protected by their paid thugs in the various deep state agencies.
Dimon is pushing for a so-called “free trade” agreement with the EU that would open American markets to the highly subsidized European concerns. In order to blur the lines a bit and attempt to soften the attitude of many Americans to such a move, Dimon says there must be “changes” by the Europeans to make the deal work. Specifically, he calls for the Europeans to finally start paying more for their own defense although he acknowledges that the bulk of that burden should still fall to the U.S. taxpayer. And then he doubles down. The EU, he lectures, must drink more of the poison of centralized government control. Dimon and his banker buddies are quietly demanding that Europeans suffer, total collectivism and loss of any semblance of sovereignty.
Dimon advises: “If the European Union strengthened its internal market structure by completing the Capital Markets Union and Banking Union, it would transform the Continent’s ability to scale and compete. A more integrated financial system would unlock investment for strategic industries, enhance stability and reduce fragmentation costs. It would enable more European banks to compete globally and make the Continent a more attractive environment for foreign firms.”
So, go ahead Europe. Further centralize all systems, give up every fig leaf of national independence and then the U.S. should give you a trade deal that allows you to destroy more American industry! Great deal for everyone, right?
Not even close.
Dimon goes on in his tome to advocate for restarting the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This was the “trade deal” that almost became law in the closing days of the Obama regime. A handful of patriots in the Senate stalled it long enough to get the word out. It was no trade deal. It was an abject surrender of national sovereignty over a wide range of economic sectors, giving the US “one vote” on a body composed of 12 nations. The idea was to give this council power over regulations, production, labor — you name it. President Trump, while a candidate in 2016, actively opposed the scam and was a key part of the reason it died.
Now, Mr. Dimon wants to revive it and double down by doing the same thing with a deal covering Europe. This is nothing more than the same old nightmare of global government, a One World system that seeks the eventual end of nations and cultures all in the name of “maximizing profits.” But “profits’ for whom? Not the working people of the United States or, for that matter, Europe. Not profits for the communities that are devastated with high unemployment, dead zones and the expected result of drug addiction, family break-up and loss of hope.
America has suffered this before, under the bogus “deals” of the RINO establishment and the Clinton years. Those trade deals that Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan warned America about were even more destructive and soul-crushing then even they had predicted. After enduring the vile destruction wrought by so-called “free trade” scam, why would we ever consider taking another dose?
The truth is that Donald Trump, for all his errors and missteps, has done far more to revive America than anyone ever had reason to believe he could. Reindustrialization is happening on a massive scale. Jobs are returning and wages are rising. Yes, we still have inflation but after the flood of money the Biden junta pumped into the system to fund dubious schemes and his bogus “Green New Deal” scam, how could it not? But it is slowly coming down and with the dedicated work of Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessett will be under control soon.
In one last insult to the American people, Dimon admits his program will harm working families and communities. He lays the blame for Trump and the rejection of the tenets of his plan. Dimon writes: “Those pacts (the trade deals) were derailed because politics moved against free trade, amid fears of lost jobs, lower wages and business displacement. Such concerns are valid. Too many efforts to help those most affected by trade deals fell short. Therefore, we must match this big idea with equally bold steps to help affected workers or businesses.”
Stop to think just how derisive this is. Dimon admits earlier efforts were harmful and that people got hurt. And, that the efforts to help those people and communities injured by their “free-trade”, in his words, “fell short.” The arrogance to suggest the American people take the word of the plutocrats that “this time will be different” when every other place in the world has suffered the same fate is beyond belief. Americans — especially those in Ohio and Michigan and Wisconsin — know in their bones that these Wall-Streeters cannot be trusted.
Mr. Dimon is due our thanks, however. But exposing for all to see the exact desires and plans of those who would destroy our nation, he has given a well-timed warning. Like the snake hissing in the grass to warn the hiker to steer clear, Mr. Dimon has given us all fair warning to give he and his ilk a very wide berth.
Bill Wilson is the former president of Americans for Limited Government.
