"While leftist historians have always derided the era following the war between the states [U.S. Civil War, 1861-1865] as a time of corruption and complacency, no single generation in human history raised living standards more rapidly, absorbed and assimilated comparable waves of immigration, settled more vast and remote frontiers, built as many new states and glittering cities, or brought a nation so quickly to the top of world power...The working class, in fact, benefited mightily from the explosive growth of the Gilded Age. ...between 1860 and 1890 real wages [adjusted for inflation] increased by a staggering 50 percent in America." - The 10 Big Lies About America, by Michael Medved
"How are traditional Americans, jealous of the liberty and proud of their heritage of independence, to be persuaded to give up their national sovereignty for a seat at the table of Strobe Talbott's New World Order? By stealth. In 1974, Richard N. Gardiner, later Clinton's ambassador to Spain, echoed Brazinski's warning not to awaken the sleeping giant of American patriotism but to proceed by subtlety and indirection: 'The House of World Order will have to be built from the bottom up...An end run about national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.' 'Piece by piece' our sovereignty is being surrendered. By accession to NAFTA, GATT, the UN, the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, America has ensnared itself in a web that restricts its freedom of action, diminishes its liberty, and siphons off its wealth. Most Americans do not understand this." - The Great Betrayal - How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy, by Patrick Buchanan
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40
years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for
the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during
those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march
towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
national autodetermination practiced in past..."
- David Rockefeller, Memoirs
" DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead
“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular
biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is
twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough
to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see
would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On
the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port
holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual
stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these
openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and
bewildering complexity.”
― Michael Denton, Evolution: Still A Theory in Crisis (2016)

Obama: TPP Is 'The Best Possible Deal for American Workers'
Obama: TPP Is 'The Best Possible Deal for American Workers' - breitbart.com
Excerpt from this article:
“Hi, everybody. This week, after five years of effort with eleven other nations, we reached agreement on a new trade deal that promotes American values and protects American workers."
------------------------------------------------
Really? Sort of like NAFTA did? And like the current influx of potential workers from Mexico and from the Middle East? Are they going to promote American values and protect American workers too? Here is a short excerpt from This Single Job Stat Is The One That Matters:
"In August, nearly 700,000 native-born Americans lost their job, while about 200,000 foreign-born Americans gained one."

Here is an excerpt from Patrick Buchanan's great The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy
"No site better captures yesterday's America than Detroit, forge and furnace of America's democracy. Detroit is the burned out case of American cities. The Empire of the Sun has its revenge. Japanese imports helped kill the city that built the weapons that destroyed the empire. Now grandsons of the soldiers of the imperial army work at high paying manufacturing jobs once held by the fathers of ten-dollar-an-hour retail clerks in Macomb County.
"But why blame the Japanese? We did it to ourselves. We Americans created a post war trading regime, in which, over 25 years, Japan bought 400,000 American cars while selling us 40 million Japanese cars, a ratio of 100:1. One president after another sat still while a third of America's greatest industry was shipped off to Japan...
"Americans no longer make their own cameras, shoes, radios, TVs, toys. A fifth of our steal, a third of our autos, half our machine tools, and two-thirds of our textiles are made abroad...
"The decline and fall of Middle America was neither preordained nor inevitable. It was engineered in Washington D.C. Wages have fallen and the standard of living of American families has stagnated because of a basic law: the law of supply and demand. The price of labor has been dropping because the supply of labor has exploded...
"Having declared free trade and open borders to be American policy, why are we surprised that corporate executives padlocked their plants in the Rust Belt and moved over seas? Why keep your plants here when you can manufacture at a fraction of the cost abroad, ship your goods back, and pocket the windfall profits that come from firing $20 an hour Americans and hiring fifty-cent-an-hour Asians? A pair of Nikes that sells for $150 in the United States costs $5 in wages to make in Indonesia. Any wonder that Nike president Philip Knight is the fifth richest man in America, with $5.2 billion, while his Indonesian workers make 31 cents an hour?" (Emphasis mine)

The Not So Long Goodbye To Manufacturing Jobs
The Not So Long Goodbye To Manufacturing Jobs - cnsnews.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Manufacturing employment in the United States peaked 36 years ago in June 1979. That month, the U.S. had a civilian labor force of 104,638,000 and 19,553,000 — or about 18.7 percent — were employed in manufacturing. Last month, the U.S. had a civilian labor force 157,469,000, but only 12,355,000 — or about 7.8 percent — were employed in manufacturing."
