Luther Strange Lobbied for Trade Deal that Drained Thousands of Alabama Jobs to Honduras, Mexico

Senator Luther Strange of Alabama has promised to “Kill Unfair Trade Deals” but that’s not likely considering he played a major role in outsourcing of American jobs overseas for the company Russell Brands, LLC, maker of athletic apparel, who moved its “final assembly of garments abroad, to Mexico, Honduras and elsewhere in the Caribbean basin.”

Breitbart News by John Carney and Matthew Boyle

…At its height, Russell employed at least 7,000 people in Alabama.

Strange enters the Russell story as a lobbyist for the powerful political broker and law firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP. Russell paid the firm $660,000 for Strange’s lobbying efforts between 2000 and 2006. One of Russell’s major political focuses at the time: getting the U.S. to sign onto a NAFTA-style free trade agreement with Central American countries.

Details of Strange’s lobbying efforts are hard to come by.

Whatever it was Strange did on behalf of Russell’s free-trade politics, it was effective. The U.S. Senate approved the Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement, known as DR-CAFTA, in 2005. The very next year, Russell announced that it would move thousands of jobs out of Alabama to Mexico and Honduras[…]

Alabama is sooo lucky to have a candidate like “Big” Luther Strange. Smart, tough on crime, borders & trade, loves Vets & Military. Tuesday!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017

Strange is a trade hawk which will guarantee the further loss of American jobs. President Trump who is holding a rally for Strange on Friday, I believe, is playing this time around for the wrong team.

Breitbart News is reporting that Strange has refused to grant them an interview. What is he trying to hide?

American Workforce Shrinks While Foreign Workforce Increases

layoffs

The decimation of the American workforce may go down in history as Barack Obama’s greatest act of treason.

As the American middle class continues to shrink, the number of foreign workers taking their jobs are on the rise courtesy of Barack Obama, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, establishment collaborators of both parties and corporate entities all of whom have for years alleged that there is a shortage of qualified Americans to do the job and are pro comprehensive immigration reform, i.e., a dog whistle for kill American jobs now.

While at the same time perpetuating the myth that the jobs being filled, you know the ones that Americans won’t do such as picking oranges and lettuce, corporations only caring about their bottom line are laying off the American workforce in marketing, software engineering, IT consulting, outsourcing services, tech, STEM industry among others by the thousands and replacing them with a foreign workforce.

As Senator Jeff Sessions said earlier this year, “The sad reality is that – not only is there not a shortage of exceptionally qualified U.S. workers – but across the country thousands of U.S. workers are being replaced by foreign labor.”

For those who still believe that American jobs are being replaced solely by those walking across the U.S.-Mexico border, think again.  While the U. S. border continues to be a major threat to employed Americans (and our security), efforts to replace the American workforce with a foreign workforce has been so fine-tuned that gone are the days that the majority of American jobs are shipped overseas, outsourced to India.

India-based subcontracting firms in collaboration with American corporations under the H-B1 Visa program fly their army of foreign workers legally by the planeload on to U. S. soil.

At the top of the list is Silicon Valley where 45% of the working population is foreign born, but “in tech, the numbers are skewed with 75 percent being foreign born and many are here on H-1B visas earning a much lower wage than their American counterparts.”

Which is more humane, a two-week layoff notice or a four to six-month layoff notice where an American worker is forced to train their foreign replacement soon to be hired in accordance with the H-1B Visa program?

Each day, a countdown to one’s final date of employment, a wound that refuses to heal, one is forced to endure the endless assault upon one’s dignity resulting from the forced training of one’s replacement who by the way isn’t even an American citizen.

In my opinion, neither.  While a two-week layoff notice gives one little time to prepare for the coming financial hardships, the other holds out little promise for the future.

Each day, a countdown to one’s final date of employment, a wound that refuses to heal, one is forced to endure the endless assault upon one’s dignity resulting from the forced training of one’s replacement who by the way isn’t even an American citizen.

For example, the layoffs of IT personnel at MassMutual Financial Group whose employees had to suck it up, sign nondisclosure agreements and were given no alternative short of training their foreign replacements or forsake their severance pay of two weeks for every year of employment with MassMutual.

While many trained their replacements on the job, others did so via web conference all the while, none were permitted the liberty of discussing their feelings.  Why?  Could it be that when breaking the news of the impending layoffs, MassMutual failed to mention its plan to move some of those very jobs overseas?

Below are companies who are laying and/or have laid off American workers, replacing them with foreigners in addition to lobbying Congress to further enhance the H-B1 and LC1 programs.

San Francisco Chronicle

Tata, Wipro, Infosys and HCL America are some of the largest outsourcing companies based in India. Some have accused them of gaming the H-1B visa system by flooding the Department of Labor with LCA applications, thus increasing their odds of obtaining H-1B visas via the computerized lottery used to distribute them.

Last year, Infosys, Tata and Wipro — and any subsidiaries affiliated with the companies — filed more LCAs nationally than any other firm besides IBM. …

The companies mentioned above are merely the tip of the iceberg of corporations taking advantage of the L1 and H-B1 visa programs, the intent of which has always been the replacement of a large portion (if not all) of the American workforce.

However, until recently it was mostly private entities fulfilling Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of America and redistribution of American wealth through the decimation of the U. S. economy.

Of course, the Obama agenda would not be complete without Progressive universities taking advantage of a good crisis.

HCL America, an Indian based firm has entered into a $50 million five-year contract with University of California to provide a foreign workforce.

Enter UC-Chancellor, Janet Napolitano who is also former Secretary of Homeland Security who can work the system blindfolded.

University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) who plans to move its campus off-shore announced ten days ago that 17% of UCSF’s IT staff will be laid off effective the end of February 2017.

Before the layoff date, the soon to be out of work employees will be forced to train their foreign replacements.

The breakdown of those being laid off is as follows:

“49 IT permanent employees will lose their jobs, along with 12 contract employees and 18 vendor contractors. This number also includes 18 vacant IT positions that won’t be filled, according to the university.”

“won’t be filled…” Is that supposed to ease the minds of the soon to be unemployed.

“…UCSF has also been relocating some IT equipment to a Dell data center in Quincy, Wash., under a separate agreement. Similar to the HCL contract, the Dell contract can also be used by other university IT departments. It has also signed a contract with security provider FireEye.…”

[Within 24 hours of the announced layoffs  at UCSF Bloomberg News reported that “Dell” after its recent acquisition of EMC Corp. (24 hours earlier)   to reduce its workforce by 2,000 to 3,000 job by year’s end in the United States.]

And then there is the Affordable Care Act which is being credited with its role in the layoffs:

Breitbart News

…Obamacare has increased the volume of patients while limiting hospital reimbursement to around 55 cents on the dollar. Obamacare also mandates electronic medical records, so IT operating expenses have doubled from 3 to 6 percent of total hospital expenses amid more spending on IT security and analytics….

Trump Stops Ford in its Tracks.

2016 Presidential Election, Donald Trump, Ford Motor Company, Mexico, Outsourcing, USA


For months, Donald Trump has called out American companies moving across the U.S.-Mexico border and taking American jobs with him.

ford motor company

 

One of those companies is Ford Motor Company. Trump’s response to Ford’s betrayal of Americans was to, if elected impose a 35% tax on any vehicle manufactured in Mexico.

Like everything else, pundits and the mainstream media attacked Trump for his platform and as with everything else, Trump yet again proven right.

Ford has walked back its plans to open a plant in Mexico announcing that it will remain in the United States.

Conservative Tribune

…In an interview with CNBC, Ford CEO Mark Fields said that the automaker would be “here to stay.” He also said he had outlined his company’s plans in a letter to Trump.

While he didn’t offer specifics about whether Ford would be rolling back it’s $2.5 billion expansion of the company’s operations in Mexico, it was clear that Fields was committed to addressing Trump’s complaints directly.

“Ford Motor Co. is here to stay in the United States,” Fields said.

“We’re very proud as a company of what we do in terms of contributing to economic development here in the U.S.,” he added….

Claims Surfacing that Obama Campaign Illegally Solicited Foreign Donors via Social Media Website

DAILY CALLER

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been soliciting foreigners for donations, an explosive report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) shows. Those foreign donors are allegedly visiting the Obama campaign’s donation solicitation Web pages through a social media website the campaign controls, and through an outside website that serves mostly Internet users from outside the United States.

About 20 percent of visitors to the ‘my.barackobama.com’ social media website ‘originated from foreign locations,’ the report found. That Web address is owned and controlled by the Obama re-election campaign.

‘At no point during the [website’s] subscription process is a visitor asked whether he or she can legally donate to a U.S. election,’ GAI notes.

‘Once a visitor signs up, he or she immediately begins receiving solicitations for donations.

In fact, numerous foreign nationals report receiving solicitation letters and thank you emails from the campaign for their support. Some of these emails have been reposted on blog sites to encourage friends to click on the donate link or get their names on the email list….

READ FULL ARTICLE

Concisely, it is a Federal violation for foreign entities, to contribute, donate money or anything of value to a federal, state and/or local election.

Unfortunately, this scandal does not rest solely with the Obama campaign.  For years, foreign entities have been donating to election campaigns on all levels, i.e., federal, state and local.

In 2010, Barack Obama took a stand publicly against the receipt of illegal donations by foreign entities (video below) in spite of the fact that he accepted donations from foreign entities in 2008.

Since Obama appears to be the primary beneficiary of financial donations from foreign entities this election season, the anointed one has either had a change of heart when it comes to this law or considers himself above the law and the exception to the rule as proven by the solicitation below.

As reported by Katie Pavlich in her article entitled, Corruption: Exposing Barack Obama’s Illegal Foreign Campaign Money Loophole:

…IT ALL ADDS UP

A large part of the Team Obama operation is outsourced. More than 200 domain names with the word ‘Obama’ in the web address have been purchased. The most significant of these websites may be Obama.com, which is owned by an Obama bundler in Shanghai, China with ‘questionable business ties to state-run Chinese enterprises,’ according to the report.

Obama.com was purchased in 2008, and, although Obama.com is owned by a third party, not the campaign itself, the site redirects its foreign traffic, a whopping 68 percent, directly to the official Obama for America campaign donation page. The Obama campaign’s official and main website, BarackObama.com, sees 43 percent of its traffic coming from foreign IP addresses…..

READ FULL ARTICLE

We can expect, in the coming days, to hear plenty of spin by the Obama campaign, the lame stream media and propagandists as this scandal takes on a life of its own.

Regardless of the lies and distractions that are sure to come, nothing takes away from the fact that this law was intentionally violated by an administration that may prove to be the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States.

There is no limit to the depths of which Obama will sink to get another four years in office in order to complete the destruction and transformation of the United States.

Any politician who accepts contributions and/or donations from foreign entities, Obama included, is guilty outsourcing the future of our country, selling the nation and our children’s future to the highest bidder.

The New Hybrid Public/Private Education

Education, Globalization, New World Order, Outsourcing, P. S. 90, Public Schools


Angie of Missouri Education Watchdog via Grumpy Opinions

“…Stephanie Simon of Reuters attended a gathering of investors in Manhattan, and the business sector they were looking to invest in is education. The conference was billed as a how-to on “private equity investing in for-profit education companies,” and was attended by about 100 hedge fund managers, venture capitalists, and education vendors.

‘…You start to see entire ecosystems of investment opportunity lining up,” said Lytle, a partner at The Parthenon Group, a Boston consulting firm. “It could get really, really big.’

The entire education sector, including college and mid-career training, represents nearly 9 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, more than the energy or technology sectors.’

Traditionally, public education has been a tough market for private firms to break into — fraught with politics, tangled in bureaucracy and fragmented into tens of thousands of individual schools and school districts from coast to coast….’“

READ FULL POST

Contracting an already failing and downright rotten public school system to like-minded entities that are in it solely for the profit sounds so unappealing.

It is no secret that the public school education is a nightmare, thus if the government remains in control (and they will), it can only get worse.

Another boot on the throat of Americans by the Marxist elite’ hell bent upon churning out a nation of future sheep and worker bees for the sake of globalization.

This could prove to be the ultimate power grab, for our purses and our children.
