It goes beyond political hypocrisy and outright stupidity when a private sector businessman is put in charge of a presidential commission to improve our economy and create jobs while at the same time he takes work done by his own company out of the United States and sends it to China. In an article published in The Washington Free Beacon, Bill Gertz reports that Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric and head of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which advises Barack Obama on ways to improve the nation’s economy and
create jobs, has entered into an agreement with Hitachi Nuclear Energy, a Wilmington, N.C., company, to make reactor vessels in China for a nuclear plant it hopes to build in India. As Terresa Monroe-Hamilton wrote in her Noisy Room Blog,
Big Business and Marxist Collusion – Bourgeois Socialism
Dec 22nd, 2012 by TMH
We now have many, many examples of these elitists who have crawled into bed with the Marxists… From Warren Buffet, to Jeffrey Immelt of GE,
the list is long and inglorious. These are wealthy and powerful
businessmen and women looking for security in the arms of Comrade Obama
while keeping the proletariat riffraff (that would be you and me) in
check and busily working for them and their luxuries in a slavish
society that is forcefully equal in misery, except for the upper levels of the bourgeois socialists. GE is probably the worst of the worst. Immelt praises the Chinese communists:
Why not? GE, under Obama’s guidance, has moved a great deal of their
business into China where labor is cheaper and regulation and taxation
are far less. And now comes word that GE will make nuclear power plant parts in China. Isn’t that sleeping with the enemy? Except, I’m no longer sure who the enemy is. From Bill Gertz at The Washington Free Beacon:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is supporting a bid by
General Electric to export jobs and nuclear technology to China by
seeking assurances from Beijing that it will not steal or transfer
valuable reactor technology, the Free Beacon has learned.
Clinton’s support for a future deal with GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy, a
Wilmington, N.C., company, to make reactor vessels in China for a
nuclear plant it hopes to build in India was disclosed in a cable sent
Nov. 21 to the United States Embassy in Beijing.
The cable directs embassy officials to seek Beijing’s assurances that
GE-Hitachi nuclear technology would not be transferred to other states
or stolen, as outlined under the terms of a 2003 U.S.-China agreement on
nuclear technology cooperation.
Disclosure of the Obama administration’s support for GE-Hitachi’s bid
to manufacture nuclear goods in China comes as GE’s chairman and CEO,
Jeffrey Immelt, continues to head the President’s Council on Jobs and
Competitiveness, which advises President Barack Obama on ways to improve
the nation’s economy and create jobs.
GE also came under fire last year from Pentagon technology security
officials over the company’s joint venture with the state-run Aviation
Industry Corp. of China (AVIC) over concerns China would covertly obtain
U.S. jet avionics technology that could bolster its growing force of
advanced jets.
Immelt is an admirer of Mao and of Barack Obama. Generally, he just
loves power. But, his vehicle of choice is Marxism. And GE has a long
history of this, but more on that in a minute. Not only is GE smooching
with China, they are actively
(and knowingly) helping China get nuclear technology to Iran and
Pakistan – all with Obama’s blessing. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy,
huh? Nope that’s just the nuclear fallout.
While you see all these wealthy companies including Walmart, Pepsi,
the big banks, Wall Street, media and a whole slew of others jumping on
Obama’s red train, you might ask yourself why? Aren’t they going to be
taxed more? Clearly these mega companies did not get the size they are
by playing by the same rules you and I do. They know how to ‘shelter’
their companies from most of the taxation and other annoyances. And as
an added bennie, if they sneak into the ever-expanding Marxist bed, they
are given nifty tax breaks, regulation waivers and other money making
contracts. All they have to do is kneel before the state and they can
have it all. What’s the going price for a little monetary soul between
Marxists these days? About 30 pieces of silver I’d wager. By swearing
their allegiance to the government, they will be protected from the
commoners – they will be taken into the elite circles where they will be
served by their American subjects. Such are the enraptured power dreams
of the bourgeois socialists.
I wonder what the union workers at General Electric feel about this sell out? Their high-paying jobs in the USA are being replaced by low-paying, non-union Chinese workers. Is it possible this union was one of the few who did not support and work for Obama's campaign and this is some kind of retribution? But it seems that General Electric isn't alone in their sell-out. Here is the rest of the post from NoisyRoom.net.
Know who else did this? Why, Adolph Hitler of course. That’s right.
Many of the companies that aligned with Nazi Germany are still in
business today. Prepare to be enlightened:
As big business became increasingly organized, it
developed an increasingly close partnership with the Nazi government.
The government pursued economic policies that maximized the profits of
its business allies, and, in exchange, business leaders supported the
government’s political and military goals.
From Business Pundit:
- General Electric
In 1946 General Electric was fined by the US government owing to its
nefarious wartime activities. In partnership with Krupp, a German
manufacturing firm, General Electric deliberately and artificially
raised the price of tungsten carbide, a material that was vital for
machining metals necessary for the war effort. Though only fined $36,000
in total, General Electric made around $1.5 million out of this scam in
1936 alone, hampering the war effort and increasing the cost of
defeating the Nazis. GE also bought shares in Siemens before war broke
out, making them complicit in the use of slave labor to build the very
same gas chambers where many of the stricken laborers met their end.
- BMW
BMW has admitted using up to 30,000 forced laborers during the war.
These POWs, slave laborers and inmates of concentration camps produced
engines for the Luftwaffe and so were forced to aid the regime in
defending itself against those who were trying to save them. BMW focused
solely on aircraft and motorcycle manufacture during the war, with no
pretense of being anything other than a supplier of war machinery to the
Nazis.
- Nestle
In 2000, Nestlé paid over $14.5 million into a fund to try to deal with
claims of slave labor suffered at their hands from Holocaust survivors
and Jewish organizations. The firm has admitted that it acquired a
company in 1947 that had used forced labor during the war and has also
stated that “[It] is either certain or it may be assumed that some
corporations of the Nestlé Group that were active in countries
controlled by the National Socialist (Nazi) regime employed forced
laborers.” Nestlé helped with the financing of a Nazi party in
Switzerland in 1939 and ended up winning a lucrative contract, supplying
the entire chocolate needs of the German army during World War II.
- Novartis
Bayer, though notorious for its origins as a sub-division of the
manufacturer that made the Zyklon B gas used in the Nazi gas chambers,
isn’t the only pharmaceutical company with skeletons in its closet. The
Swiss chemical companies Ciba and Sandoz merged to form Novartis, most
famous for its drug, Ritalin. In 1933, Ciba’s Berlin branch fired all of
the Jewish members of its board of directors and replaced them with
more “acceptable” Aryan personnel; meanwhile, Sandoz was busy doing the
same with its chairman. The companies manufactured dyes, drugs and
chemicals for the Nazis during the war. Novartis has owned up to its
culpability and tried to make amends in the manner of other complicit
firms by contributing $15 million towards a Swiss fund for compensation
to the victims of the Nazis.
- Allianz
Allianz is the twelfth largest financial services company in the world.
Founded in Germany in 1890, it’s no surprise that they were the largest
insurer in Germany when the Nazis came to power. As such, they quickly
became heavily involved with the Nazi regime. Their CEO, Kurt Schmitt,
was also Hitler’s economics minister, and the company insured the
facilities and personnel at Auschwitz. Their Director General was in
charge of the policy that paid the Nazi state instead of the rightful
beneficiaries when Jewish property was damaged following Kristallnacht.
What’s more, the company worked closely with the Nazi government to
track down the life insurance policies of German Jews sent to the death
camps and, during the war, insured the possessions stripped from those
same Jewish people on behalf of the Nazis.
- Coca-Cola
Fanta is a tasty orange-flavored drink that was originally designed
specifically for the Nazis. That’s right, ingredients for the cola that
gives the brand its name were difficult to import, so the manager of
Coca-Cola’s German operation, Max Keith, came up with a new drink that
could be made with available ingredients. In 1941, Fanta debuted on the
German market. Max Keith was not himself a Nazi, but his efforts to keep
the Coca-Cola operation alive through the war meant that Coca-Cola
pocketed some handsome profits and could return to distributing Coke to
American GIs stationed in Europe as soon as the war was over.
- Kodak
When you think Kodak, you think of happy family photographs and memories
caught on film, but what you should really be considering is the slave
labor that the German branch of the firm used during World War II.
Kodak’s subsidiaries in neutral European countries did brisk business
with the Nazis, providing them with both a market for their goods and
valuable foreign currency. The Portuguese branch even sent its profits
to the branch in the Hague, which was under Nazi occupation at the time.
What’s more, this company wasn’t just making cameras; they expanded
into the manufacture of triggers, detonators and other military goods
for the Germans.
- Random House
You may not have heard of Bertelsmann A.G. but you will have heard of
the books published by its many subsidiaries, including Random House,
Bantam Books and Doubleday. During Nazi rule, Bertelsmann published
propaganda and Nazi literature such as “Sterilization and Euthanasia: A
Contribution to Applied Christian Ethics.” They even published works by
Will Vesper, who had given a rousing speech at the book-burning in 1933.
Random House courted Nazi controversy again in 1997 when they added, “a
person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified
activity, practice, etc.” to the Webster’s dictionary definition of
Nazi, prompting the Anti-Defamation League to say that it “trivializes
and denies the murderous intent and actions of the Nazi regime.”
- Ford
Henry Ford himself was a notorious anti-Semite, publishing a collection of articles under the charming title, The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem.
Ford even sponsored his own newspaper which he used as a propaganda
piece, blaming the Jews for World War I, and in 1938 he received the
Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest medal Nazi Germany awarded
to foreign citizens. Ford’s German operation produced one third of the
militarized trucks used by the German army during the war, with much of
the labor done by prisoners. What’s even more shocking is that Ford may
have used forced labor as early as 1940 — when the American arm of the
company still had complete control.
- Chase
On reflection, the collusion of Chase Bank (now J.P. Morgan Chase), with
the Nazis isn’t so surprising. One of its major shareholders, J.D.
Rockefeller, had directly funded Nazi eugenics experiments before the
war. Between 1936 and 1941, Chase and other US banks helped the Germans
raise over $20 million in dollar exchange, netting over $1.2 million in
commission — of which Chase pocketed a cool $500,000. That was a lot of
money at the time. The fact that the German marks used to fund the
operation came from Jews who had fled Nazi Germany didn’t seem to bother
Chase — in fact they upped their business after Kristallnacht (the
night Jews throughout Nazi Germany and Austria were systematically
attacked by mobs in 1938). Chase also froze the accounts of French Jews
in occupied France before the Nazis had even gotten around to asking
them to.
Do you see a pattern here?
I sure as hell do. Businesses were highly organized (uber community
organizers) under Hitler. Hugo Boss designed the militarized uniforms of
the SS (as well as the brown shirts of the SA and the Hitler Youth);
Volkswagen designed the Beetle at Hitler’s behest and mass produced them
using slave labor; Standard Oil provided the gas for the German planes;
and IBM designed the punch cards that were used to systematize the
extermination of people by race and class.
Charming. All in the name of big business and it is happening again –
now in America. What this means for all of America in the end with
wealth redistribution is trickle-up poverty.
The revenge of our anti-colonialist Marxist leaders will be complete.
The Constitution will be no more and in its place will be a new
Motherland. When big business colludes with a Marxist government, very
bad things happen. Just look at history and you will see our future.
Remember, all roads in this realm lead to communism and death. Who needs
a Mayan apocalypse when you have Obama?
Years ago they used to call this "Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy" and that was the definition of the crime of Treason. Today its called Big Business and Global Economics. "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason." Sir John Harington (or Harrington) (August 4, 1561 – November 20, 1612) Quoted from Wikipedia.
