I always wondered why "Free Trade" has so often had to be enforced down the barrel of a gun.

Whether it's breaking open markets that, understandably, want to be protected from unfair competition or exporting jobs, "free trade" has been used as the rallying cry and justification.

This in not an Obama-only phenomenon. It's been going on since at least the 19th century.

Now, some paperwork emerges that shows that in fact "free trade" is nothing more than an extra-legal way to change society in ways that make no sense to normal people and perfect sense to a handful of monopolies.
