But we really need a well-oiled bureacracy in the US. We need to save ourselves from the growing global menace. Thank you DHS from the bottom of my heart! “Because protecting the global supply chain is inherently an international challenge, it will take an international effort to meet it. The tremendous benefits we all reap from an interdependent global economy means that we are all stakeholders in the security of that system…” “…we will continue to think globally, enhancing our coordination with the international community and international stakeholders who have key supply chain roles and responsibilities. We will seek to develop and implement global standards, strengthen detection, interdiction, and information-sharing capabilities, and promote end-to-end supply chain security efforts with the international community.” What “benefits” are we “reaping” from globalization? I haven’t the foggiest idea. The internationalization of banking and finance has led to the creation and subsequent implosion of the world’s largest debt bubble and further devaluation of many of the world's currencies. Centralized and corporatized food production has led to a complete lack of self reliance within our society, contributed to food scarcity, not abundance, and opened our means of sustenance to the mad-science and genetic criminality of monstrous entities like Monsanto. The globalization of law through treaty has supplanted the U.S. Constitution, fed the growth of unaccountable and unelected councils and committees, and stricken our country with policy initiatives that weren’t even written by officials that live here. There are absolutely no substantial benefits to globalization that outweigh its considerable detriments, unless, of course, you are one of the elite few who stand at the helm of the machine. At the Davos Economic Summit which took place in the final week of January, Napolitano announced a program called the “National Strategy For Global Supply Chain Security”: The Link Within this plan, the DHS seeks to unite with international corporate interests in an effort to ensure the dominance of the globalist ideal of centralized economy. The collectivist rhetoric inherent within the document above is apparent. Napolitano summarizes it well when she states: “As globalization brings nations closer together, we need to jointly disprove and leave behind the notion that security and efficiency cannot coexist, and together build a security architecture that better uses information to assess risk. By taking a coordinated, strategic and thoughtful approach, we can expedite legitimate commerce while focusing our attention on that much smaller portion that poses harm. Security and confidence in the global supply chain enhance our collective economic strength, rather than impeding progress.” The Link
The creation of the DHS was likely an error and seemed so when it was created. ps What is the color of our alert today? I'm sure we're all checking it daily to see if the terrorists are about to attack our freedom which they hate.
Completely agree about globalization. It did bring lower prices but we've paid a pretty high price in other ways, in order to get those lower prices. Now we have no manufacturing base, a shrinking middle class, we are locked in to an international monetary system with little control over others choices but sooner or later, it will be us bailing out the 'Greeces' of the world because we will all be afraid of the domino effect.
Globalization is the only possible outcome on a small planet upon which 10 billion people are projected to live and in which an ever-increasing portion of them are interconnected.
I'd prefer free trade to be revised to free trade only with similar national economies abd constitutions. China would be most highly tariffed for its centralized command communism, bottomless labor pool, poor environmental standards and habitual amoral support of dictators everywhere. At some point our centrally socialized economy will collapse or decline and fall and rationing will either be done by each of us for ourselves or by centralized national socialists in Washington who will first take their fat cut before the great rationing. In fact that is exactly what is happening now. That the socialists are using borrowing is just a way to get their cut first and fast.

We should be doing what is in the best interest of the 350 million people living here. let the corporations fight it out over their share of the pie. With globalization will come more taxes on us to pay for the poverty stricken rest of the world. it is all a bunch of crap.
