Sovereignty

Robert Zoellick a former trade representative, is talking about a new world order with business at the helm of trade and economic policy. He is advocating an Association of American Free Trade Agreements, which would include North, Central, and South America. Zoellick is seeking to implement a stealth trade agenda, which is not a national agenda. He's proposing to set up a private organization to achieve what he couldn't get done as the U.S. trade representative.

This business agenda has the United States, Mexico, and Canada, working quietly behind the scenes to promote a common market with common deregulation for the benefit of multinational corporations. It's an agenda that has resulted in an increase in U.S. corporate profits of 45 percent, while wages of American workers have risen only 3 percent in the last five years.

The danger raised of Zoellick’s proposal is that the future of American international economic policy affects both our nation's prosperity and our national security. Our prosperity and national security will not be determined by the American people or their elected representatives, but by a small corporate elite, which is accountable to no one but itself. Thus, surrendering the sovereignty of the United States.

The argument is made that free trade promotes democracy and the welfare of the people. However, one need only look at China to see, that in fact, this is not true.

Former President, George Herbert Walker Bush said: “It is a big idea, a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause.” Zoellick is about to implement this new world order. They're trying to create a new world order, without the approval or consent of our government and with total disregard for the will of the people. This is a straightforward assault by the corporate elite in this country.
