04. USMCA, GATT, WTO and Free Trade | Global Power Structure | Sovereign’s Handbook

By Johnny Liberty

Power structures lobby for legislation, rules and regulations; banking, insurance and licensing requirements, primarily for their own self-interest. They even write the legislation and hand it to their congressional favorites to introduce to the U.S. Congress.

The “North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)”(1994) had nothing whatsoever to do with “free trade”. From the globalist’s perspective, it was passed to compromise the “sovereignty” of Canada, Mexico and the United States, therein to establish a “transnational cartel” that effectively destroys competition and “free trade” for the rest of us. 

Now, decades later, NAFTA has been replaced by the “United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)” and signed into law by U.S. President Donald Trump who estimated it would create 600,000 jobs and add $235 billion to the economy.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)(1947) was an act of legal protectionism for global cartels to destroy free trade and further compromise what remains of  the economic sovereignty of UN member nations. 

GATT effectively placed member nation states under the jurisdiction and control of the UN, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Agency for International Development (AID), and the World Bank (WB.)

The World Trade Organization (WTO)(1995) has effectively replaced GATT. The WTO is now largely controlled by China.

GATT Passes U.S. Congress Without Ever Reading It

When GATT legislation was proposed and finally passed, the 20,000 page document was voted on without being read by the U.S. Congress. Legislators did not actually know what was in the bill except for the very few who authored it. They relied on summaries and the leadership to tell them what was in it. It passed with little debate. This is a prime example of how little legislative responsibility the U.S. Congress has shown during the law-making process.

FREE TRADE = GLOBAL CARTEL

Internationalists Destabilized North America to Reconstruct Regional Government

Henry Kissinger said, “NAFTA was the biggest step toward the New World Order. The goal of the global elite is to destroy all sense of nationalism, sovereignty and cultural origin. The international bankers, and the global organizations they represent, are the new conquistadors of Mexico, Latin America and the rest of the third world, including the United States.”

The New World Order can play the “sovereignty” card both ways. The globalists have developed plans to break apart the sovereign nations of Mexico, Canada and the United States. They forged forth with the notion of an “American Union” modeled after the “European Union”.

This plan would have allowed the globalists to diminish three nation states into one regional government after World War III has torn all the nations of the world apart. However, Patriots prevented this scenario from actually happening, so their strategies toward one-world government have been somewhat stifled.
This New World Order plan is not only to destabilize, ransack and pillage entire nations, but also to see the death of half the world’s human population through a depopulation agenda which has continued during and after the COVID-19 plandemic.

Free Trade Policy Blasted by Former GM Executive

“Free trade across our borders is outrageously immoral, economic demagoguery and an insult to the 55 men who gave us the United States Constitution,” said retired General Motors Senior Executive Gus Stelzer. He recently received a tumultuous standing ovation for his remarks during a public debate on “free trade” at Chapman University in Orange California.

Mr. Stelzer challenged the presumption of “free trade”, and those who contend that consumers are best served by “free trade” across our borders. He argued that the idea that consumption increases wealth is a delusion, and explained how the Americans people are being robbed of their wealth at home via “free trade”

This “free trade” policy thwarts the creation of real wealth in the United States because the fact is that fairly compensated, high-wage labor and the professional class are the real source of wealth creation, capital formation and tax revenue. A strong middle class means a strong national economy, not free trade that makes workers compete with workers in poorer countries.

Furthermore, “free trade” sabotages an important constitutional method for generating revenue to run the federal government. If revenue does not come in from “tariffs” on imports, the working and professional classes must shoulder the burden of paying for the government via a barrage of new taxes. Trump was the first U.S. President to implement the widespread use of tariffs with China in generations.

The united states of America had it right until 1913 when the country departed from the concept of “tariffs” on imports and substituted it for a “tariff” on our own products in the form of “income taxes”. Then in 1935, we imposed another “tariff” on ourselves under the label of “social security”.

By 1995, federal, state and local governments imposed a total of $2.2 trillion in taxes on industry and employees, and this constitutes a “tariff” exceeding 45% of our own consumer and capital goods, as contrasted with our rate of “tariffs” on imports which barely reaches 2%. 

Consumers are further punished by a deluge of regulatory codes, laws, and judicial edicts with which businesses must comply. These internal “tariffs” account for more than 80% of the cost of the average made-in-America product.

World Trade Organization

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental organization that regulates and facilitates international trade between nations. Governments use the organization to establish, revise, and enforce the rules that govern international trade. 

The WTO officially commenced operations pursuant to the 1994 Marrakesh Agreement, thus replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) established in 1948. The WTO is the largest international economic organization, with 164 member states representing over 98% of global trade and global GDP.

“No agreement with a foreign nation
can confer power on the Congress,
or on any other branch of government
which is free from the restraints
of the Constitution.”

~ U.S. Supreme Court, Reid v. Covent, 354 U.S. 1 (1957)
