Have they ever exposed the real purpose of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderburg Group? That purpose is to integrate the world's economy and to do so with as little interference from the masses of people so that corporate profits are maximized while workers rights and benefits are curtailed, and wages depressed.<br /><br />We've heard about a race to the bottom. It is more like a race to the middle, as we decline, and the third world rises, albeit to a level neither of us want to be in.<br />rkrasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767920719114131892noreply@blogger.com
