The Case Against Free Trade

The Conservative Treehouse:

When you understand the scope of food export, and also the risks of food manufacturing, and when you understand the severity of quality control needed to produce food safely, you begin to understand why massive corporations are now overwhelming the independent farmer.

You’ll also discover why outbreaks of Listeria, E-Coli and other food processing illnesses are increasingly common.

These outsourced manufacturing and processing plants have far lower safety standards than U.S. manufacturing. Other than corporate actuarial analysts who calculate risks, ie. the value of human life and comparative risk from the outsourced manufacturing, no-one else ever talks about that cost.

Get sick from Listeria and try suing the manufacturing company. You’ll soon find yourself amid a multinational network of legality filled with “Hold Harmless” agreements where the manufacturing companies are shielded by the government of the nation doing the production. Good luck suing Mexico.

Remember all the Chinese pet food that killed hundreds of American cats, dogs? If you think these inherent risks are not real because you don’t eat fig newtons and don’t have a dog, well… where exactly are your pharmaceuticals coming from? You see, the risk doesn’t diminish.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce rails against C.O.O.L (Country Of Origin Labeling), and spends hundreds of millions lobbying congress to ensure the origin of ‘store processed’ raw material foodstuffs do not have to be identified to the consumer. Why is that?

Massive floating seafood factories operate for months at a time outside any nation’s jurisdiction. Floating vessels that capture fish, process fish, manufacture and package fish sticks, and deliver a frozen finished product by the time they reach the port. Who’s inspecting that process?

That’s just a few current food examples.

It’s not just “trade” of products within these trade deals, that’s why there are 6,000 pages to the summary version (the broad outline of commitment) of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal alone.

When the U.S. congress signs up to one of these deals they are giving away more than just American jobs, they are giving up American safety, sovereignty and caretaker custody of the supply chain.

What If We Restored Freedom Of Association?

Comments:

* The entire FIRE economy is organized around people trying to avoid the Black underclass. If the government were to re-legalize freedom of association, the whole thing–housing prices, college tuition, prison population, suburbanization, car prices, insurance rates, corporate diversity departments–would collapse.

* It’s really interesting the way America’s elite use blacks as a kind of biological weapon to move whites around.

* A friend has pointed out how brilliantly the Obama Administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing plan to disperse urban blacks to the suburbs is calibrated to solve problems currently impeding the triumphal progress of the Democrats to ruling nationally a one party state in the manner of a giant Chicago. I’ll return to that topic in the future.

* Dilute what’s left of the white suburban vote via AFFH imported black/hispanics/refugees, and you break the back of the GOP (especially in the south).

It’s almost worked in turning Virginia and North Carolina permanently blue, and Georgia isn’t far off.

I watched first-hand as some of the nicest suburbs in America were overwhelmed with blacks, when the Olympics forced the destruction of government subsidized housing in Atlanta.

See Clayton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Henry and increasingly Fayette County as an end-result of this racial displacement of whites.

It really comes down to this, and it’s something Trump touched on recently: do white people have self-determination or are we allotted to only pay for the sins of our eternally racist ancestors for the rest of our existence?

* The black share of the population has also begun to decline in cities ranging from Boston and New York on the East Coast to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland on the West Coast.

* They’re still in the greater Portland area. They’ve moved out to the farther east side (past 82nd), where they are still blowing one another away on the regular. Occasionally they shoot each other downtown, for variety. The central white majority studiously ignores these events. Probably because they are a factor in keeping the yuppie bastards in the Pearl well supplied with cocaine.

Play Misty For Me

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Even though it was a conservative, prosperous farm district, the local university made sure that the Democratic party was nuts. So they nominated a radical black lady (in an almost all-white district) who was a political science prof at the local junior college. She went down in flames – got the lowest percentage of any Democratic house candidate in the entire US.

But could she have starred in Play Misty for Me? Well, she was a close friend – some would say overly close – of her Great Dane. As you probably know, male dogs, when in the throes of passion, can get stuck. Trouble ensued. They covered her and the dog ( on the stretcher together) with a blanket as the ambulance carried the star-crossed lover to the hospital, but it was pretty obvious what was going on, and there was talk. Med students make interesting friends.

Ordinary measures did not suffice, and it was the dog that paid the ultimate price.

There’s a lesson here somewhere.

* I don’t want to believe this story, but my sister works in an ER and the stories she tells are not too far off this line. Perverts will get themselves into some weird predicaments and will require professional help to undo their entanglements.

One guy managed to get his wedding ring around the end of his member and then couldn’t get it off. In the ER the doc was pretty flummoxed. Laser cutter? My sister was off duty before they figured it out.

* Flawed exit polling led a lot of people to believe that Hispanics were turning out in droves, but if you actually look at precinct-level data, it doesn’t pan out. Hence the recent NY Times article “There Are a Lot More White Voters Than You Think.”

Even in heavily Hispanic cities like Los Angeles, there are surprisingly few elected Hispanic officials.

Recent immigrant Hispanics have such low turnout that there are farm communities in California’s Central Valley that are 90% Hispanic and yet elect white Republicans to office.

Assimilated Hispanics who have lived here for generations do a lot better than that, but their turnout is still way below the national average.

Hispanics in America view voting the way that white Americans view soccer.

* In Ft Wayne’s congressional district (very red) the Dems are running a homeless guy. Literally, homeless… living in a motel. There’s a good video on YouTube of him being interviewed drinking beer and smoking cigarettes.

* Could it be that the mestizo lower-class Mexicans have such a deeply-held cultural subservient/slave mentality that they’re more comfortable being ruled by light-skinned Europeans (as is the case in Mexico)?

* I once heard from an EMT that truckers get into strange predicaments. I remember one she told me about who had called in for help. After the ambulance arrived, he briefly talked with one of the EMTs, got calmly into the ambulance, didn’t look anyone in the eye, and rode to the hospital with his head down, not saying a word. Turns out he had been playing hide-and-go-seek with a Mickey’s big mouth bottle and it got stuck.

21st black assailant sentenced in Cleveland gang rape

News: State District Judge Mark Morefield on Friday wrote the final chapter in the notorious gang rape case of an 11-year-old Cleveland girl when he accepted the guilty plea of the last of 21 assailants.

Cordney Demond Bennett, 21, of Cleveland was positively linked to the case by a DNA specimen found at the crime scene, but authorities took a year before they were able to put a name to that specimen.

In the Liberty County plea agreement, Bennett received a reduced seven-year sentence in exchange for pleading guilty to indecency with a child by exposure. He also will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years after completing the sentence.

The charge stems from a series of assaults of the young girl that occurred in 2010 in the community off U.S. 59 about 40 miles north of Houston. An investigation initially was launched when Cleveland school authorities confiscated recordings of the assaults that had gone viral and were being viewed on the Cleveland High School campus.

A vacant, dilapidated house located on the poorer side of town known as “the quarters” was where most of the assaults occurred, along with the home of one of the assailants.

Only two adult males requested trials, and juries handed both life or 99-year prison sentences. Eleven other adult males received 15-year sentences in exchange for pleading guilty to sexual assault of a child, while the seven juveniles entered guilty pleas for seven-year probated sentences.

COMMENTS:

* I remember that Cleveland, TX rape case very well. The hispanic girl was 11 and all of the accused, about 20 of them, were black. After two of them went on trial and got life sentences, everyone else rolled and got probation (if they were minors) and 15 years if eligible for adult trial.

It’s not that the media didn’t cover it. It was rather that outlets like the New York Times did extensive writeups, didn’t mention the race of the accused, and also allowed themselves to argue that the victim was inviting the assault because she was dressing like a 21 year old slut, etc.

You are right that Sabrina would have been all over that case if accused were white. Generally speaking, black guys who commit sexual assault are far more common, it isn’t really “news”, and I’m sure the SJW types think that, to even talk about it, is to encourage “racism.” It’s very strange.

And yet for all that I can’t find it in me to hate on Sabrina. Maybe later. Right now, she seems to have completely deluded herself in my view.

* Yes, Jackie Coakley is obviously a very experienced conwoman, preying on a trusting young Jewish journalist. She was able to manipulate Sabrina by insight into her deepest fears. The alleged rape on broken glass – the Night of the Broken Glass, as Dr Sailer put it, or Kristallnacht as we say in German- was a masterstroke pulled by a clever trickster.
Sabrina was impelled to recognise that even in 21st Century Amerika, hordes of Nazis were roaming Universities , smashing Jewish premises to bits and raping young girls.
At the trial, I’m sure it will be revealed that Sabrina Rubin Erdely comes from a long line of holocaust survivors and is therefore in no way responsible for her actions.
Elie Wiesel will not be appearing as her character witness, however.

* Sabrina Rubin has been a (((trashmeister))) her entire career, starting in her student years at UPenn when she was disciplined by editor Stephen Glass at the campus magazine for lying in her reportage.

Go to her vanity web site; look at her story credits listed there. “Prostitute moms,” “moms on heroin,” “altar boy victims of pedophile priests.” Then “gang raping blonde Southern fraternity men.”

Pulp filth.

Her previous pet-crazy-person story about “Billy Doe”/Daniel Gallagher helped send priests and teachers to prison (one priest died there) on the word of a sociopathic confabulator who is now a millionaire as a result of this concatenation of lies.

FWIW she started at UPenn as a bio/pre-med major but couldn’t hack (ha!) the work. She fell back on her involvement at the campus magazine 34th Street and became an English major.

She married a Center City Philly lawyer who specializes in representing lowlifes. They have two kids and live in a ritzy part of town. The one that contains Jewelers’ Row, not Section 8 houses.

She “has it all”…and yet writes with a degenerate imagination. Lingers over details of depravity. Peddled for money and power to major media outlets like GQ, Cosmo, and Rolling Stone. With the goal of destroying mainstream America and respect for it.

That’s not love for a story, SP, and I don’t see it as “belief for psychological reasons of her own,” as our host puts it. This is naked power.

I see it from an HBD perspective: as a very familiar sheer hatred for one’s population-genetic rivals, and a desire to humiliate while defeating them with false tales of victimization. The rewards for it in the M$M are rich indeed.

Daniel Gallagher ended up a millionaire. Jackie Coakley won’t. But the common element is, Sabrina Rubin Erdely used both of them to advance her fame and career. She’s still working. She has lost nothing; her hamartia is glossed over. She surely has no capacity for shame; if she did, she would have stopped writing lies in college.

* I think that Steve is giving this girl [Jackie Coakley] way too much of a pass. Let’s remember that she went to the University of Virginia. She had to have extraordinarily good grades and test school to be admitted to UVa, i.e. she’s smart and knows how to work within a system.

Now, she very well have mentally disturbed, but she wasn’t stupid.

Btw, that was the flaw in the story that jumped out at me right away. Kids who go to UVa are smart and have been working for years to get into a top-tier university. They’re some of the most future-oriented people you’ll ever meet and extremely cognizant of what stains on their record will do to those prospects. There’s absolutely zero chance that six or seven guys like that would gang rape a girl in their frat house. Every single one of them would be hyper-aware of the infinite number of ways that this act could destroy their carefully-crafted lives.

That the reporter and the readers didn’t recognize this fact shows what a skewed view they have of white men.

* I am really starting to see how the Salem Witch hysteria might have been solely the product of a society so in deference to young female privilege that literally anything they said was treated as Gospel truth.

Seriously, what else does “Yes means Yes” lead to but the conclusion that unchallenged “spectral evidence” is now all you need to convict a man on college campuses?
