His attorney reportedly told U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty Baldeo experienced chest pains and was undergoing tests. It was the first in a series of delays that Bharara openly questioned in a Jan. 25 letter to Judge Crotty that the Times Newsweekly obtained. According to the letter, Baldeo’s counsel informed the court on Jan. 21 that the defendant underwent tests which found nothing serious, but would remain in the hospital until at least Jan. 23 for further testing. These developments prompted Crotty to reschedule Baldeo’s sentencing for Jan. 26. However, Bharara charged, Baldeo secretly discharged himself from Flushing Hospital on Jan. 22 and was transported by ambulance to Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center in New Hyde Park. After learning of the secret late-night transfer, the U.S. Attorney’s office contacted Baldeo’s initial physician at Flushing Hospital, who declined to comment as the physician was no longer authorized to discuss Baldeo’s condition. On Jan. 23, Baldeo’s attorney informed the court that the defendant underwent an angiogram and had two stents inserted into his heart to clear a blockage.

Though Baldeo was scheduled for discharge from LIJ on Jan. 24, he reportedly complained of chest pain again and remained hospitalized. The following day, Jan. 25, the U.S. Attorney’s office learned that Baldeo instructed LIJ staff not to include his name in its system or acknowledge he was at the facility. Judge Crotty ordered Baldeo to appear in court on Feb. 2 for a hearing evaluation his medical and mental status and further provided the U.S. Attorney’s office to review Baldeo’s medical records at Flushing Hospital and LIJ.A ssistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel C. Richenthal and Martin S. Bell of the Public Corruption Unit prosecuted the case. -CONTINUED FROM PG. 13- 23 • TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2015 notes, the biggest trade deal of Barack’s term, the U.S.-Korea trade pact modeled on NAFTA, has been another job-killer for American workers: “Since the Obama administration used Fast Track to push a trade agreement with Korea, the U.S. trade deficit with Korea has grown 50 percent— which equates to 50,000 more American jobs lost. The U.S. had a $3 billion monthly trade deficit with Korea in October 2014—the highest monthly U.S. goods trade deficit with the country on record.” Everywhere we hear that the issue of our time is the wage stagnation of the middle class. But what has caused U.S. wages to stop rising for longer than any period in our history? What caused the inexorable growth of U.S. wages, from the Revolution to Reagan, to stop dead? Like Poe’s “Purloined Letter,” the answer is right in front of us. Wages are the price of labor, and price is determined by supply and demand. Wages have fallen because the supply of labor has exploded. Following the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, we threw open America’s doors to a flood of immigrants, legal and illegal. Some 40-50 million have poured in, an unprecedented expansion of the labor force. As these immigrants—many uneducated, unskilled, unable to speak English well—entered the labor pool, they were willing to work for less than native-born Americans who needed higher wages to sustain their standard of living. In the service industries, manufacturing, construction, U.S. employers found themselves in a buyers’ market for workers right here in the USA. Yet, over a million new lowwage workers pouring into the USA every year was not enough for our banksters and corporatists. Thus, “free-trade” Republicans and their collaborators in the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce decided to drop the U.S. labor force into a worldwide labor pool where the average wage was but a tiny fraction of an American living wage. Like Dr. King, our transnational corporations had a dream—a dream of bypassing all U.S. regulations on wages and hours, health and safety, and the environment—a dream of getting rid of all those high-wage U.S. workers and their unions. How to realize this dream? Move production out of the United States, out from under the jurisdiction of U.S. law, into the Third World, and then bring your products back free of charge. To these folks, America is the best market to sell into, but, as a place to produce, give us China! Mexicans, Latin Americans, East and South Asians, Chinese would all work for less than Americans, thus enabling corporate executives to take home fatter shares of far larger profits, in salaries, bonuses, benefits, stock options and soaring equity prices. Like NAFTA and GATT, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is an enabling act for multinationals to move freely to where it is cheapest to produce while securing access to where it is most profitable to sell. A new Magna Carta—for the billionaires’ boys club. For 40 years, U.S. workers have seen factories close, jobs disappear and company towns become ghost towns, the “creative destruction” of Joe Schumpeter’s felicitous phrase. Only the wholesale destruction was no accident, it was planned. For scores of millions, the American dream is gone, sacrificed to the gods of the global economy—a new world economic order created by and for an elite whose 1,700 corporate jets were parked wingtip-towingtip last week while they partied in Davos. That is why there may be a Syriza in all of our futures. * * * Patrick J.
