So what is Harper doing in India?

[tay]

Harper gave his speech that dissed Brexiters and Trumpers for going against the flow of globalization and deciding that they want their countries citizens to be first in any prosperity through protectionist trade policies as opposed to the myriad of 'Free Trades' they now operate under.

Of course he's working for a private corporation so who knows what their motivations are but both Harper and Trudeau have teamed up to try and bring us another round of job gouging Free Trade initiatives with India.

Back in 2012 Harper said this;

After a slow-moving summit with his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told a business conference today in New Delhi that trade ties between India and Canada are not developing fast enough.
Seeming frustrated by the modest achievements of his visit — which produced some incremental, sector-by-sector agreements but not the hoped-for Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement — Harper said the "untapped economic potential between us is massive and undeniable."

"There's starting to be greater protectionism going forward. It's not an avalanche yet. It's not something to panic about," Harper said.

And now we have this; the Liberals and Harper together in India pushing for the same thing;


Federal Liberal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi, fresh off a trade promotion trip to India, says a free-trade agreement with India “is high priority for our government.”
But for all the talk, it’s clear that any free trade with India remains a long way off.
Talks began with fanfare under the Conservative government led by Stephen Harper but quickly slowed as officials haggled over investor protections and thorny issues such as access for Indian temporary workers, skilled workers and visitors to Canada.
That turtle pace continued despite Justin Trudeau’s mandate letter to his former international trade minister Chrystia Freeland setting out “the development of a targeted strategy to promote trade and investment with emerging markets, with particular attention to China and India,” as a goal for his government.
In an interview with the Star, Sohi said he believes a Canada-India free trade deal is possible in this mandate.

And report from of all places, Forbes on child labour in India........

Jyothi Ramulla Naga is 4 feet tall. From sunup to sundown she is hunched over in the fields of a cottonseed farm in southern India, earning 20 cents an hour. Farmers in the Uyyalawada region process high-tech cottonseeds genetically engineered to contain a natural pesticide, on behalf of U.S. agriculture giant Monsanto . To get the seeds to breed true the farmers have to cross-pollinate the plants, a laborious task that keeps a peak of a dozen workers busy for several months on just one acre. And to make a profit the farmers have to use cheap labor. That means using kids like Jyothi, who says she’s 15 but looks no older than 12. (Monsanto points to papers indicating she is 15.) To harvest the bolls three months later, the farmers use cheap labor again, not the machinery that is used to pick cotton in the U.S.

Harper also said Trump is poised to 'reverse' seven decades of U.S. foreign policy, like that would be a bad thing.......


Trump; “We will pursue a new foreign policy that finally learns from the mistakes of the past…We will stop looking to topple regimes and overthrow governments…. Our goal is stability not chaos, because we want to rebuild our country [the United States]… We will partner with any nation that is willing to join us in the effort to defeat ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism …In our dealings with other countries, we will seek shared interests wherever possible and pursue a new era of peace, understanding, and good will.”

Trump’s approach to foreign policy may seem commendable given the disastrous results in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq, but it is also a dramatic departure from the last 70 years of activity during which time the United States has either overthrown or attempted to overthrow 57 foreign governments. This is why the political class and their wealthy constituents are so worried about Trump, it’s because they don’t want the new president mucking-around in a process he doesn’t understand, a process that has reshaped the world in a way that clearly benefits US mega-corporations while reinforcing Washington’s iron grip on global power. The bottom line is that “violence works” and any deviation from the present policy represents a direct threat to the people whose continued power and prosperity depend on that violence.

This is why none of the major media published Trump’s comments. The corporate bosses who own the media have nothing to gain by promoting the views of a populist executive who wants to minimize the carnage by working cooperatively with foreign leaders the media has already designated as ‘enemies of the state’, like Vladimir Putin. How does that advance the media’s agenda?
It doesn’t, which is why they’d rather the public remain in the dark about what Trump actually said.

But the Washington power-elite know what Trump said, and they have acted accordingly. They have put together a plan that is designed to undermine Trump’s credibility, back him into a corner and remove him from office. That’s the plan, regime change in the USA.

The United States is entirely responsible for the bloody decimation of Syria. It is absurd to think that either the Saudis, the Qataris or the Turks would have launched a war on a strategically-critical nation like Syria without a green light from Washington. The conflict is just the latest hotspot in Washington’s 15 year-long war of terror. The ultimate goal is to remove all secular Arab leaders who may pose a threat to US imperial ambitions, open up the region to US-dominated extractive industries, and foment enough extremism to legitimize a permanent military presence.

“Better relations” with Russia?

Not on your life. US elites and their think tank lackeys would never allow it, not in a million years. Even now, after six years of death and destruction in Syria, elites at the Council on Foreign Relations are still resolved to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The same is true at the Brookings Institute where chief strategist Michael O’ Hanlon leads the charge for splitting up the battered country so Washington can control vital pipeline corridors, establish military bases in the east, and eliminate a potential threat to Israeli expansion. Here’s a clip from a recent piece by O’ Hanlon that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. The author admits that the US goal is to splinter to country into multiple parts transforming it into a failed state:


The Trump Speech That No One Heard - The Unz Review

 

[Danbones]

i always said the man was globalist just like TRUDEAU (senior and now junior) is

Do you really want to know what's going on?

Swinging deals and eating meals

Put away the axes
And pay those taxes
Let's all get normal at the luau

Harper gave his speech that dissed Brexiters and Trumpers for going against the flow of globalization

So leaving the world's biggest protectionist bloc goes against the flow of globalisation?
