Government Zero: No Borders, No Language, No Culture (26 page)

You and I would go to jail for accounting like this. But the Grand Illusionist gets praise from the media instead.

He wouldn’t be able to get away with any of this if it weren’t
for the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented inflation and the willingness of average Americans to believe a mountain of official lies, despite indisputable evidence right before their eyes. That’s why I call Obama the Grand Illusionist, and he’s not finished yet.

One of the consequences of unprecedented inflation is supposed to be a weaker currency. When the supply of currency units go up, their value in relation to other goods goes down. That’s simple supply and demand. Yet the U.S. dollar has rebounded sharply during the past year. How can that be?

The most likely explanation for this is that as bad as the Federal Reserve has been, the central banks in other First World nations have been even worse. Some, like the European Union’s ECG, have inflated to fight unemployment and bail out even more socialist members like Greece, even though its mandate is strictly price stability,
¹¹
unlike the Fed’s dual mandate.

Meanwhile, export nations like China continue to manipulate their currencies downward intentionally in order to maintain trade surpluses with the United States.
¹²
This has hurt U.S. economic growth, but it’s just another foreign policy issue the sorority has either bungled or intentionally ignored.

Keep in mind, the dollar has remained relatively stable against gold for over two years now.
¹³
So it’s not buying more gold and it’s not buying more food, health care, or stocks. Those prices have all gone up. It’s not buying more of very much at all for the average American, unless you believe the phony CPI numbers put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But it is increasing in value against a number of foreign
currencies, which means the buying power of Americans is increasing for foreign goods. That’s good for the average American, but bad for multinational corporations looking to sell out American workers and consumers even further. As you might expect, the media have come out in a full court press lamenting the strengthening dollar.

We’re told a strong dollar will increase trade deficits, deflate stock prices, and cause a recession. Those are half-truths. Yes, it will be cheaper for Americans to buy foreign goods, but it will also be cheaper for American manufacturers to import foreign materials to make goods here. Corporate profits from overseas sales may decline slightly, but investment in new production in the United States will increase.

Do you see the connection to everything else I’ve talked about? A strong dollar is good for Americans living on Main Street in America. It gives an incentive to multinational corporations to make investments in America. It sacrifices a few quick profits today for long-term job and general economic growth within the United States.

As Larry Kudlow notes:

I’m not surprised the media is conducting a propaganda war against a stronger dollar. It coincides perfectly with the internationalist, progressive agenda to turn America into a depressed, European-style social democracy. A weaker dollar means foreigners own more of America, the average American can buy less with his wages, and the fat cats on Wall Street can make quicker profits without reinvesting in America.

That Americans believe the lie that a strong dollar is bad for the economy just gives Grandma Yellen one more excuse to keep pushing back the interest rate hikes necessary to arrest the enormous bubble blowing up over the whole economy.

If you want to see high-paying jobs and domestic production return to the United States, you want the dollar to stay on its upward trend. That’s one bright spot in an otherwise dark and cloudy American economic landscape.

There is a trade deal this traitor in the White House has been trying to push and the Republicans have supported him. They’re all traitors. This deal is such a sellout for America that even Harry Reid opposed it.
¹⁵
Of course, I’m talking about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a twelve-nation free-trade agreement that our beloved dictator has decreed be kept completely secret.

It was kept so secret that even Nancy Pelosi opposed it. Those lawmakers permitted to look at the deal had to go into the basement of the building where the documents were hidden and were not allowed to take notes with them or discuss what they read afterward. I’m not making this up. As
Politico in Europe
reported:

I call it trade treason. No one really knows what this trade deal is, but I can tell you this: It’s a sellout of the American worker by both Obama and the Republicans. They want to give Asia a trade deal that will destroy us economically.

The only thing the Republicans care about is their connected friends in big business. Anything that lowers costs for gargantuan corporations is good for America, according to this faux opposition party, even if it actually harms most Americans. Another hundred thousand jobs are migrating overseas? That’s okay. My friends on Wall Street will make another couple billion. The stock market will go up. That’s how too many of today’s Republicans think.

As far as I’m concerned, Mitch McConnell is one of the worst Benedict Arnolds in America. He said the “bipartisan effort” would help grow opportunities for “our constituents.”
¹⁷
He must have meant the lobbyists. The only opportunities that will result from this deal are those pushed by the Better Business Bureau and those few multinational corporations that will benefit.

As for the bill being bipartisan, that could only be true if we had two political parties. But we don’t. We have one party, the Government Zero Party.

The only ones standing in the way of this sellout right now are the Democrats and a few authentic, conservative Republicans. The Democrats oppose this because if they didn’t they’d have to go back to the workers in their districts and explain why they betrayed the working man once again.

The monster in the White House, the world’s worst bully, tried everything he could to scare the heck out of his own party, but they wouldn’t cave. They stuck to their guns and voted down an attempt to get the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill giving Obama fast track authority on this trade deal through the House.
¹⁸
The progressives would not cave in to this bully, who is wholly owned by Google, Microsoft, General Electric, and the rest of the multinational corporations.

It was actually a Progressive-Conservative coalition that defeated this bill, at least for the moment. There are a few authentic, nationalist conservatives in the Republican Party who joined the progressives in blocking this. That coalition provided a glimpse of what a true nationalist coalition would look like.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. The House had actually voted to approve TPA the first time around, but voted down the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) bill that would appropriate aid to workers who lost their jobs due to the trade deal itself. Because TPA, or “fast track,” was originally contingent upon passage of TAA, Democrats were able to vote for TPA and still make sure it failed by voting against TAA, which they would otherwise support.

If that sounds confusing, welcome to Washington politics. To make a long story short, the two bills were separated, and TPA was brought up for a vote just a week later and passed the House.
¹⁹
The Senate quickly passed the House version and sent it to Obama to be signed into law.
²⁰
This means that Obama can bring the final deal to Congress for an up-or-down vote, with no amendments allowed and debate severely restricted.

Government Zero always wins in the end.

The deal is being sold as one that will open new markets to
U.S. exports, which sounds great. But that’s not what’s really going to happen. We know that because they told us the same thing when they rammed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) down our throats. Instead of increasing exports of U.S. products, it increased exports of U.S. factories and jobs.

Back when I was on the radio in the mid-1990s, I opposed NAFTA. I said it would destroy jobs in America. I said it would destroy factories in America. I said it would bring illegal aliens and drugs into America.

Was I wrong or was I right?

NAFTA decimated American manufacturing. It destroyed America’s entire industrial base.

Remember what I told you about the World Trade Organization (WTO)? Has that worked out for America? No. It’s also weakened American manufacturing.

Fast-forward to 2015. The United States ran $50 billion in trade deficits in March alone,
²¹
and Obama wants to make it even worse.

The president has repeatedly claimed the deal will result in more auto sales to Japan. “If you drive around Washington, there are a whole bunch of Japanese cars. You go to Tokyo and count how many Chryslers and GM and Ford cars there are. So the current situation is not working for us,” Obama said in April.
²²

Like everything else that comes out of this man’s mouth, this is a lie. This deal won’t result in more American cars being sold in Japan. Japan doesn’t even have a tariff on American cars. They don’t sell in Japan because the Japanese want smaller, more fuel-efficient cars.

The U.S. does place a tariff on Japanese cars, however,
which this deal will eliminate. So, the TPP will actually do exactly the opposite of what Obama says it will. It will increase the sale of Japanese cars in the United States, meaning increasing competition for domestic sales, and it will do nothing to increase sales of U.S. cars in Japan.

Believe it or not, I’m with the liberals and the labor unions on this one. They’re not always wrong about everything. The majority of Republicans are wrong about this, because they’re not representing the American people. They’re representing their pals on Wall Street and in the board rooms of big corporations.

I’m sorry if I’m shocking you, but I don’t have to go party line. I’m not in the Rush Cartel. I call them as I see them. It’s that simple.

Real conservatives should be against this bill for constitutional reasons. In addition to selling out our workers and manufacturers, it also has serious implications for our national sovereignty. The deal creates an international tribunal that would have the power to override our own state and federal laws and levy fines against U.S. taxpayers.
²³

Just before the House voted on whether to grant Obama fast-track authority on this sellout, yet another bombshell broke: This supposed trade treaty would massively expand the traitor in chief’s authority on immigration.
²⁴
According to Rosemary Jenks, the director of government relations at Numbers USA, Obama has not told Congress or the American people the truth about his secret deal.

“He has told members of Congress very specifically the U.S. is not negotiating immigration—or at least is not negotiating any immigration provisions that would require us to
change our laws. So, unless major changes are made to the Trade and Services Agreement—that is not true,” said Jenks.
²⁵

Frankly, I’d be surprised if we found out this pathological liar
was
telling the truth about anything. But a few naïve conservatives out there may still be surprised the Republicans who knew about this would back it. I’m not.

Today’s Republicans are so bought and sold by big business that they don’t even care about their own long-term survival. As long as Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, and the rest can print as many H-1B visas as they want to replace American science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers with foreigners, the Republicans don’t care if they rip up the Constitution and make Obama a king over immigration.

These businessmen running multinational corporations feel no allegiance to America whatsoever. They are going to do whatever increases their bottom line, regardless of the long-term damage it does to this country. You would think at some point they would have enough money. How many yachts can they own? How many castles can they own? How many islands?

Greed is like nymphomania for these people. There isn’t enough gold or money in the world for them. Their insatiable appetite for wealth is decimating American workers, like those at Disney who lost their jobs to foreigners so Bob Iger can make more than $46 million next year. This is greed on a scale unlike anything we’ve seen since the Aztecs were decimated by the Spaniards.

After the Spaniards had virtually destroyed the Aztec culture, one of the survivors said their greed was a disease for which there was no cure. I say the same about Ellison, Gates,
Zuckerberg, and the rest of these plutocrats. They’re like the conquistadors. They’ll lay waste to this entire country trying to satisfy their lust for wealth and it still won’t be enough.

And they own the Republican Party. That’s Government Zero personified.

Obama ceding national sovereignty is no big surprise, either. He’s an internationalist who hates America and has shown little regard for any constitutional limits on what he does. But again, one would think the Republicans would at least defend the Constitution, if not American workers.

They aren’t even doing that. Senate Republicans have agreed to give the president fast-track power,
²⁶
meaning Congress would have to approve it as is, without any ability to propose amendments, just to appease their big donors and connected friends.
