from The Mises Institute,
In 1994, Charlie Rose interviewed the British businessman James Goldsmith. Sir Goldsmith was campaigning in the European Union against the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a component of the WTO agreement. In 1995, 125 countries had signed onto the agreement, which included agricultural subsidies. Goldsmith warned in the interview that this would lead to massive emigration from third-world countries and that people in western society had come to serve an economic index that harms them. He claimed that, if the GATT were adopted, we would be:
Creating mass immigration, which none of us could control. We would be destroying the towns, which are already largely destroyed. Look at Mexico; look at our own towns, and we’re doing this for economic dogma because we’ve got to get it done by the end of December. We can’t wait another year or two to see the results. Otherwise some political gimmick like Fast Track will go out of the way. What is this nonsense? Everything is based in our modern society on improving an economic index. How do we get greater economic growth? How do we grow the GNP? The result is, we are destroying the stability of our societies because we are worshiping the wrong god, economic index
From her interview on Tucker Carlson on April 28, 2025.
"One of the greatest explanations of globalization ever given Sir James Goldsmith came to United States in 1994 and he did an interview with Charlie Rose and he described why we should never approve the Uruguay Round, 1986-1993, of gas and Institute the WTO to this day he nailed it perfectly." . . . He said we are going to hollow out the middle class in the West and we are going to devastate our culture and we are going to devastate the quality of the food supply. To this day, I think it's the best description [of globalization] and if you read my online book and listen to Sir James Goldsmith, what they both describe is the fact that we knew, we knew what we were . . . in other words, the leadership knew that this would destroy or devastate the West. --Catherine Austin Fitts.
16:25. So why did they do it?
16:29. That's the 64,000 question. I think one of the reasons they did it is I think they wanted to create the capacity and centralize the capital they needed to go into space, and I think they knew that they would need . . . every hundred or so years, the central Bankers do a reset. And I think they knew they were coming into a reset and they felt with this technology that if they didn't globalize someone else would and they wanted to control the process.
17:06. So they needed the money to go into space
The Uruguay agreement was part of the GATT., 1947-1995, when it gave way to the WTO in 1995 that replaced GATT.
