MY COMMENTS IN SPANGLISH.   Hugo Adan 8/916

1-Los acuerdos comerciales de FREE no tienen nada, jamás lo fueron. Durante el colonialismo el control de los mercados, sus materias primas y sus recursos humanos esclavizados opero mediante  regímenes políticos impuestos  via militar a favor del saqueo imperial .. quienes se beneficiaron fueron elites de guante blanco en Europa. La lucha anti-colonialista luego de la 1ra guerra mundial y especialmente luego del “great depresión de 1929 al 36”, mandaron abajo el sistema colonialista. En su reemplazo se impuso un saqueo más financiero que político .. luego de la 2da guerra mundial .. Estamos por ingresar a la 3ra guerra mundial (algunos dicen que ya empezó en el ME) y es seguro que el neocolonialismo que sigue usando el aparato militar para el saqueo imperial  va a caer también.. El  control comercial de hoy se basa en una producción que esta cayendo a pedazos. Para financiar las barracas militares del imperio hay que fabricar dólares de la nada y eso amenaza la primacia del dólar, hay ya sustitutos al dólar. El imperio piensa cobrar por la “protección militar que da a sus lacayos políticos” y el pueblo de Okinawa, Japon, dijo que no necesitan esa “protección” . Que se vayan .. Lo mismo va a ocurrir si se desata el WW3 .. no al estilo Japon pero al de Turquia con Erdogan .. o quizá peor,  si emigrados y pueblos avasallados por el imperio responden al terror imperial con terrorismo como ocurre en Europa.

2. Como en los tiempos coloniales, el imperio del colapso neoliberal viene imponiendo acuerdos comerciales que son real terrorismo económico a dos niveles:

1ro porque con ellos se priva de trabajo a miles -sino millones de americanos si se cuenta las familias perjudicadas. Según el  Economic Policy Institute noted in 2013:

Hillary Clinton who has for more than two decades been one of the loudest and most resolute voices championing neoliberalism and free trade. And still, despite her record, Clinton today presents herself as a friend of the working class. The same working class that has been all but eviscerated by the policies she herself has supported.

the illusion – or perhaps it was delusion? – that NAFTA was going to benefit workers in the US, Canada, and Mexico by allowing for the free flow of goods (and capital) leading to decreased prices for many consumer goods. Indeed, that was precisely the mythology that was peddled at the time.

The Economic Policy Institute noted in 2013: A-“ NAFTA undercut the bargaining power of American workers, which had driven the expansion of the middle class since the end of World War II. The result has been 20 years of stagnant wages and the upward redistribution of income, wealth and political power.” 

B- The loss of at least 700,000 jobs due to production moving to Mexico. Some of the heaviest losses were felt in California, Texas, Michigan and other manufacturing-dependent states, particularly those in the Rust Belt.

2do porque  en los paises adonde fluye el capital parasitario del Wall Street & big Corp que ahora financian a la dama Clinton  se crea, de un lado,  la sobre-explotacion de las maquiladoras que pagan 1 dollar per hour. De otro lado, se genera procesos de migración de mexicanos a la frontera norte en busca de mejor paga.

3- El mismo Instituto americano habla del negativo impacto del NAFTA de los Clinton:

1. The loss of at least 700,000 jobs due to production moving to Mexico. Some of the heaviest losses were felt in California, Texas, Michigan and other manufacturing-dependent states, particularly those in the Rust Belt.
2. Allowed employers to drive down wages, slash benefits, and undermine and destroy unions. Because capital could always threaten to simply close up shop and move to Mexico, workers had little recourse but to accept the assault on their standards of living.
3. It devastated the Mexican agricultural and small business sectors which led to the dislocation of millions of Mexican workers and small farmers, many of whom were forced to migrate to the US in search of work, thereby creating the immigration “problem” . Hillary was one of the principal salespeople for NAFTA, going so far as to speak at a confidential White House briefing on NAFTA in November 1993, just a few days before it was approved by Congress.

4- Hillary la Hipocrita

During the primaries  “Hillary Clinton shamelessly presents herself as a friend of working people”.

Clinton Secretary of State she immediately reverted to being the great champion of free trade. Indeed, in her position as America’s top diplomat Clinton traveled the world preaching the gospel of free trade. And by this point she had a new holy scripture to tout: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

However, during Democratic national debates on the issue TPP, she opposes it, despite having been in favor of it as late as 2012 when she said the TPP “sets the gold standard in trade agreements.”

In fact, the TPP, TTIP is as much a political and geopolitical weapon as it is an economic arrangement. While TPP is aimed at economically isolating China. TTIP is directed against Russia in hopes of depriving Moscow the chance at deepening economic ties with Europe, noted the Institute

Ultimately, Clinton represents the very worst of the American political class – a cynical manipulator whose thirst for blood and war is matched only by her thirst for power. Lies flow from her mouth into the US political scene like water into a vast ocean. And, like water, she erodes the once sturdy rock of the working class in the United States… concludes the Institute
