Obama Selects “Free Trader” and NAFTA Booster Ron Kirk as U.S. Trade Rep
- Text size
Infowars
December 25, 2008
It should be obvious now even to mesmerized Democrats and starry-eyed progressives that a Barack Obama administration will be more of the same — more illegal wars, more mass murder, and more corporate globalization. A few days ago Obama reaffirmed his change is more of the same when he selected former Dallas mayor and “free trade” advocate Ron Kirk to serve as U.S. Trade Rep in his administration.
|
|
| Lou Dobbs on Ron Kirk and the North American Union agenda. | |
“As a past supporter of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and China Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR), Kirk will face close scrutiny as he assumes the responsibility for delivering on Obama’s pledges to fix existing trade agreements and create a new trade policy that benefits more people,” reports the Eyes on Trade blog.
Obama’s “pledge” will be about the same as his “change,” that is to say smoke and mirrors.
Ron Kirk is a servant to the global elite and the international bankers.
From The Choate-Weinberg Report:
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Administration’s point person on trade will be Ron Kirk, who is glaringly unqualified for the job. In the late 1990s, Kirk was the Mayor of Dallas, Texas, and in 2002, a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat now held by his GOP opponent.
Kirk has no experience in negotiating major trade deals or enforcing them. As Mayor, he supported NAFTA and as candidate for the U.S. Senate he supported having the U.S. make more free trade pacts.
After failing to win the 2002 Texas Senate race, Kirk joined the giant Houston law firm of Vinson Elkins, where he lobbied the Texas Legislature for the Wall Street private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co and TPG, a global investment firm.
TPG has more than $50 billion of capital under management around the world. KKR controls 51 private equity portfolio companies and has a total value of more than $68 billion. KKR has done the largest buyouts in the history of the U.S., the Netherlands, Denmark, India, Australia, Turkey, Singapore, and France. Besides its U.S. offices, Vinson Elkins has offices in Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, Shanghai and Tokyo.
The principal criticism of the Clinton and Bush trade policies is that they were not about trade, but about making the world safe for U.S. investments. It was investment policy. Those policies, reduced to binding international treaties, facilitated and speeded the outsourcing of U.S. factories, jobs, and service work, even as they made the import of those foreign-made goods and services quota and tariff-free in the U.S.
U.S. Trade Representative designate Kirk has the perfect background and connections to continue those corporate-pleasing investment policies for the Obama Administration. His will be a familiar career path – continue to serve corporate interests while in charge of U.S. trade matters and then become a highly paid international “consultant” after leaving Office.

Happy Atheist Day to all and a Happy Peaceful New Year to all.
However, we all know that peace requires us all to respect each other and understand that our liberty ends at the other person’s nose.
So we really can’t expect peace, can we?

Is ‘change’ like “thermal expansion”?
December 25th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Seems to me like the same tired ole people keep getting invited to the same ole tired party.
This is the change that Obama was talking about?

Crazy eh!, isn’t it interesting how many of these NWO guru’s are in the lone star state? Just one big happy family of crooks living in Texas. Something interesting to note, is that most Texans don’t want that NAFTA Super Highway going through their state, but most of the work is already done. I have traveled from Laredo up I-35 to the Oklahoma border which is the main portion of Super Highway through Texas. I-10 from San Antonio to Houston will be a routing spur for southern portion of Texas. They are building like a 10 lane portion through downtown Houston just for NAFTA commerce, that has 4-6 lanes open right now for regular auto travel. We actually have a family member who is one of the heads of the Houston police department that gave us a personal tour and told us how it was a spur for the NAFTA Super Highway. Most people don’t know that I-35 will be the Super Highway through Texas. The NWO elite own most of the newspaper companies in cities along the I-35 corridor, so you can see how they were able to keep things quite while developing this NAFTA route.

black o’bastard will put 2 million people to work building the NAFTA superhighway.

December 25th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
It’s beginning to look a lot like South Africa here in the good old U.S. Remember when the Whites gave up their power to the Blacks? And NOW, South Africa is like a giant section 8, Ghetto of a third-world country! Where it was just announced that Blacks have the right to seize White property and if you murder them in the process, all the better! You had better wake up to whats really going on here in the good old USA! TO ARMS!!!! TO ARMS!!!!! TO ARMS!!!!!

Corporatism full speed ahead.
NAFTA has caused many american workers to loose their jobs.
So called “free trade” has done nothing but weaken America, and the neocons and libs are all fucking for it aren’t they? Yeah, as long as the zionist kickbacks keep coming in. They could care less about selling our our country for a buck.

I mean, who were these people that really believed in him anyway?
For those of you that think America is ripe for a revolution; I’d strongly suggest that not only is it the other way around; people want it that way.
Talk to regular people, are they aware of issues like this? And, if they are, what’s their level of level of education? How about if they think if it’s a good or bad thing?
This is important; because I’m not convinced that the everyman is worth saving: http://mediacondom.com/?p=70

This is one of the horriblest appointments in the Obama administration because it keeps the wicked NAFTA AND GATT alive and will further destroy America’s infrastructure and have our jobs being out-sourced overseas and have our nation in great economic peril !! THEREFORE; OBAMA will continue the rampage of destroying America as his puppet masters are continuing their war on the middle class!! And only the Great God of Heaven can help us and will help us in the coming months and years!! After many of us are sent to their positioned concentration camps where we will be put to death for rebelling against THEIR COMING BEAST CHIP SYSTEM!!
But don’t worry!! In the near future; WE WILL PREVAIL AND WE WILL WIN!!
December 26th, 2008 at 7:08 am
This article could’ve been shorter. Just one line: Another minion appointed in the Obama regime. Wouldn’t matter who became President, the game rules would be followed just the same. Obama happens to be black, because it fits right into the NWO’s overall plans. The color of his skin is being used as a ploy. Don’t allow yourselves to get hung up on that. The color of his mind and intentions is where the real key to the puzzle lays.

WE HAVE NO RIGHTS
When you make peacefull protest imposible and the supreme will not answer to a redress of Grievances like they did on (01/04/08) Then what is left????

The Supreme Court has(WITH CONTEMPT) Denyed OUR 1st Amendment rights as a free people.

Hey Stupid is as Stupid Does, no, “change” is not like thermal expansion, as change is not a new scientific phenomenon. No my friend, in this case, “change” is just like “same.” It will be funny to watch all the starry-eyed bobblegheads nod as Obama tells them it is truly “change,” and they believe it.
My kids’ fourth grade teacher told her students that “America needs a black President.” If you ask me, that comment is just as racist as someone who said we don’t. Forget his platform ro lack of experience, as that apparently is superseded by the color of his skin in the opinion of our educators.

This is the best three part series I’ve seen on how they changed our money from an evidence of wealth to an evidence of debt. It’s a little slow at the start but kicks ass after the first couple minutes!
