Globalism: Should a Christian Support It?
By Late Nite LeRoy
July 26, 2001
Hanging around with the conservative crowd that I do, I was shocked recently
to hear a Christian conservative talk show host side with globalism and
criticize the demonstrators in Genoa. It was even further shocking to note the
host was also a professor at a local Christian college.
We need to get some facts on the table here.
Over 10% of America's population conceived since 1973 is dead from abortion. Who
is to blame?
When a liberal quotes scripture and speaks of helping the poor, sick, widows and
children, who's money do they use to accomplish these righteous goals?
My point is that we have serious problems in the world and our own nation, that
are having the root cause hidden by lies and misrepresentation.
I thoroughly enjoy Danish ham, French cheese and many other products made in
countries outside the USA. I am not a total isolationist. But people must wake
up to what is happening globally to the common worker. I bought a new
Thunderbird in 1973 for $5600. They now run close to $30,000. Inflation and US
labor are always blamed for the price increase.
I notice that Lexmark now has a combination 2400 dpi color scanner / 2400 dpi
printer for your computer for under $200. Do you think they would be anywhere
close to that price if a real American wage of say $20/hour was paid to the
employees in Indonesia where the things are made? Chinese goods are outrageously
cheap, not only here but even in former soviet block countries. Efforts to start
free enterprise business in these hopeful countries have been stymied by massive
imports of cheap Chinese goods made with prison labor.
I often hear the argument in our own country that we have to let illegal aliens
in from Mexico just because there are jobs that need to be done, that no white
American will stoop to do. But I cite 3 sample careers: sewage treatment plant
inspector, plumber who clears the clogged toilet, and garbage collector. All 3
careers cause the person to come home stinking to high heaven. But the last 3
individuals I met in these job categories were all white. Each job pays over
$40,000/year. I don't see any strawberry farmers offering $40k/year to pick
strawberries. If they did, you'd see a long line of white guys applying. My only
racial slur here is whites tend
to understand math a little better (unless they buy lottery tickets when whites
prove to be the stupidest race on the planet). A newsletter I get, documents
that corporate farmers near Mexican borders have fought to prevent any research
into automating the farming process, while farmers like Idaho Potato farmers
have been using it for years. This is most likely because Idaho does not have
easy access to cheap illegal aliens. I don't see potato prices getting out of
hand, yet they use American citizen labor and probably American machinery to do
the job.
Looking close at the riots in Genoa, I see similarities to the Vietnam war
protesters. Mixing righteous idealism with confusing propaganda from satanic
backed elitists yields a chaotic mess. My conscience told me something was
drastically wrong with our being in Vietnam in the 60's, but I was just a
teenager in the Midwest at the time and had no access to know what was really
happening both in Washington and the world. Simplistic Christians believed our
government, grabbed their regulation M-16 and marched off to put holes in the
heads of rice farmers who also were victims of their government lying to them.
We all lost. But the ivory towered elitists, who's sons never got a touch of
Vietnamese mud on their Ivy League shoes, continued to raise respect for the UN,
knowing full well that WW1, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam were ALL phony wars financed
by the international banking crowd for the sole purpose of building up the New
World Order, I.E. the United Nations.
A strong accusation you say? Let's look at some historical facts researched by
Ph.D'ed historians, not the ranting of a conservative Christian columnist. Who
currently gives a million dollars a day to support abortion worldwide? Ans.: The
Hewlett Packard foundation. If they paid living wages to the Indonesian workers
who make their printers, do you think they could afford to squander money like
that? Ref: Wall Street Journal
Who built up the German industrial machine under Adolph Hitler. Ans.: General
Electric and other funds siphoned from the US Federal Reserve.
Who sold auto parts to the communists during the Vietnam war, which ended up
shuttling supplies to the North Vietnamese to go south and kill Americans? Ans.:
Ford Motor Company. Both facts ref: Antony Sutton
International trade itself is not evil, but we have to look at who is doing the
trade and what terms they use. The huge tax free foundations are primarily
funded by the huge multinational companies like General Electric, Ford, Hewlett
Packard, and Microsoft. None of these associated foundations contribute to
raising the standard of living or moral values of either Americans or anywhere.
More often than not, they fund anti-American and anti-family activities. Do ANY
of these companies pay American wages to the workers in foreign countries? I'd
like to think a particular country is chosen because of the people in that
country having natural skills for a
particular product, like a Swiss watch. But the truth is that lower wages are
ALWAYS the reason for plants to be located away from the American worker.
Boeing recently sent a large MD-11 conversion sale overseas, turning its back on
the fact that the tooling that made those planes was in Long Beach California as
well as the workers who first assembled the planes still lived there.
The IMF and Ex-Im banks are presented as examples of using taxpayer money to
enhance "American" business. No they don't. They enhance the profits
of the CEO's who may live in the US, but I don't see any American workers short
of the Longshoreman who unload the boats benefiting from US taxpayer money
funding factories to hire slave wage labor in other countries.
Jesus Christ told me to treat EVERYONE the way I want to be treated myself. I
have no desire to rip anyone off for their skills and services. But the
globalist trade policies we currently have only benefit the elitist
multinationalists at the top. Yes, I am free to buy GE stock and participate
myself, but how many shares do I have to buy to reap a dividend that amounts to
anything? Only the super wealthy have that many shares. I can't afford any of
their stock because the last 2 factory jobs I had went to Southeast Asia and
Vancouver.
Any Christian who thinks the globalist agenda helps the poor in foreign
countries, needs to reassess the facts before they vote the Antichrist into
office by sheer ignorance.
