There is an evil afoot, neoliberalism economics, the brain child of the globalizers.  It is neither new nor liberal, but the rebirth of the economics practices during the era of the Robber Barons.  It brought on the Great Depression.  Neoliberalism holds that the forces of the market place should be unfettered, viz., without regulations; and a second premise is that the roles of government are better fulfilled by private businesses.  Neoliberalism is the sophistry used to justify the ruling clique’s return to the economic conditions of the 19^th century.  It is just a deceptive sales pitch pushed by the corporate media and taught in a university system which has strong ties to the business community.  Don’t look to the globalizer’s theory, but to their actions and its consequences (as Naomi Kline has done in “The Shock Doctrine”).  It is the actions of a consortium headed by the big banks, and supported by global corporations and brokerage houses.  Through their WTO, World Bank, IMF, and the foreign diplomacy of the wealthy nations, over 200 nations have found it PRUDENT to sign free-trade agreements, which cover much more than trade.  These trade treaties--with acronyms such as NAFTA, CAFTA, AFTA, and MEFTA--require the dismantling of regulations governing their currency and finance, require opening the resources, land, transit, media, utilities, banking, manufacturing, and markets for foreign purchase and competition.  There are over 900 clauses in these trade treaties which permit the overriding of national and local environmental, commerce, labor, banking, and trade regulations.  This signing of a treaty is a continuation of the ruling clique/party’s historical course of action:  the ruler’s powerbase is tied to the business community and its press. A nation which resists globalization faces economic sanctions. If that fails there is the Marines and NATO.  The principle reason for the Iraq war is MEFTA, with Iraq being hung out as an example—the same occurred with Libya, and Iran will likely experience the same.  The corporate press inculcates a different explanation.  Foreign policy of the developed nations is tied on a global scale to the shadow governments.  Today’s new Robber Barons are not the monopoly capitalists & bankers like Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Morgan, but a much bigger corporate fish.  Their goal is to eliminate local competition, by establishing a world government for whom they are the shadow government.  The business ethics hasn't changed, only the size of the board upon which they play, for now it covers our planet. 

The shadow-government policies has resulted in the out-sourcing of jobs, the flood of tariff-free goods, the flood of immigrants and illegal aliens, the reduction of worker’s buying power, the breaking of unions, the reduction of social services, and a shift of the tax burden by a drastic reduction of corporate & the top 1% income taxes.  The U.S. ranks 4^th in GDP, yet is 92^nd in distribution of wealth—UN stats.  The purchasing power of workers has steadily dropped since 1972, even though their productivity has increased by 45%.  It is consumed by the financial section which makes up 44% of corporate profits.  In 1950s a family got by on one income; there were very few working mothers.  Standards of living are falling not just in the developed nations, but also the poor nations—another fact that the corporate media denies. Global corporations including banking are the foreign weeds choking out native industries around the globe.  We need to return to unions (a voice for the masses), tariffs, and business regulations, like in the 50s.  We need a government with its sole primary duty being the promotion of the well-being of the masses. And this can only be accomplished by ending corporation’s political donations and also by having a public media committed to truth, education, and the public weal. Neoliberalism, the sales tool of the globalizers, is good for the masters of mankind.
