“This trade deal would make it easier for corporations to shut down more factories in the U.S. and ship more jobs to Vietnam and Malaysia where workers are paid pennies an hour. The TPP is a continuation of our disastrous trade policies that have devastated manufacturing cities and towns all over this country from Newton, Iowa, to Cleveland, Ohio. We need to rebuild the disappearing middle class, not tear it down.
YELL AT CONGRESS:
(Send a different letter each day.)
This unconstitutional menace is arguably the greatest betrayal in history, but of course there is also the Bush regime’s 9/11, so we essentially live in an age of monumental Machiavellian abominations.
The “Trans Pacific Partnership” would end the USA as a sovereign state. The laws passed by Congress and state governments would be challenged into non-existence by supreme corporations. These multinationals will claim that all regulations that hurt their desired profits are against the rules: labor laws, environmental protections, consumer protections, ANY protections of the citizenry will be abolished over time. It’s the same trend that’s been occurring, but on steroids.
The Constitution says that only our Congress can make laws here, not foreign corporations. This is absurd on its face and arguably treasonous.
Barack Obama is now an enemy of the US, and he–and anyone supporting this TPP sham–should be impeached immediately.
Parts of the TPP won’t be declassified for four years … even if it’s passed:
The TPP Investment Chapter … is classified and supposed to be kept secret for four years after the entry into force of the TPP agreement or, if no agreement is reached, for four years from the close of the negotiations.
Ron Kirk, until recently Mr. Obama’s top trade official, was remarkably candid about why he opposed making the text public: doing so, he suggested to Reuters, would raise such opposition that it could make the deal impossible to sign.
Senator Elizabeth Warren notes:
Supporters of the deal say to me, “They have to be secret, because if the American people knew what was actually in them, they would be opposed.”
…However, under agreements like the TPP, these provisions apply to and override the laws of modern, stable, developed countries with democratic governance and fair court systems. The corporate representatives negotiating modern trade agreements see such democratically run governments as “burdensome” and chaotic, introducing “uncertainties” and “interfering” or “meddling” with the corporate order. As one supporter of these ISDS provisions put it, they protect corporations from “the waves of madness that occasionally flit through the population.”
Obama’s wet dream effectively puts multinational corporations above state, local and the federal government. Any regulations that corporations don’t like can be cause to “sue” the USA and have the matter decided outside our borders. This is a knife in the back and must fail.
“Under the [TPP] companies and investors would be empowered to challenge regulations, rules, government actions and court rulings — federal, state or local — before tribunals organized under the World Bank or the United Nations.”
Note the crucial difference: Russia and China want to be able to access data generated by their citizens on their own soil, whereas the US wants to access data generated by anybody anywhere as long as American companies handle it.
Anyone who is not them is now equated with a disease:
“Among the projects awarded for the period 2014-2017 is a Cornell University-led study managed by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research which aims to develop an empirical model “of the dynamics of social movement mobilisation and contagions.”
It never avoids my attention that this most politically violent institution on the planet is consumed with this idea of addressing “political violence.”
“This project is not about terrorists, but about supporters of political violence.”
That would be the entire Congress and a good percentage of the country that cheers on the US military’s so-called “adventures” around the globe. The hypocrisy is visible from orbit. The US military is all about “political violence,” and it is the main purpose for its existence. It’s what it does, day in and day out, with about 1,000 bases around the globe arming, training and meddling in the politics of other nations, violently.
This cognitive chasm is of Orwellian dimensions.
“Minerva-funded social scientists tied to Pentagon counterinsurgency operations are involved in the “study of emotions in stoking or quelling ideologically driven movements,” he said, including how ‘to counteract grassroots movements.'”
Iceland told the Banksters to fuck off and die…
“While the euro area grapples with record joblessness, led by more than 25% in Greece and Spain, only about 4% of Iceland’s labor force is without work.”
“Rumsfeld worked to make sure that the unit was “unrestrained and unaccountable to anyone except him, Cheney, and the president” while Cheney began going to JSOC headquarters at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to give direct action orders.”

Douglas Valentine pointed out problems with Scahill, his foundation funded backers and the info he doesn’t release (concerning CIA).
Then something trutly absurd happened, straight from Scahill’s own Twitter:
If you aren’t following the compete and utter meltdown of Europe, after their money system was taken over by unaccountable bankster mafia, you need to wake the fuck up.
“Troika-imposed’ responsibility will, “turn Cyprus into a colony of the worst possible type. …“by leaving the troika and the EMS behind us, we will ensure our national independence,… If we remain bound by the Troika and the memorandum Cyprus’ destiny is already foretold and there will be no future.”
We’re all going to be “partners” you see. Oh, not the people. The corporations and governments in partnership for corporate governance. These will actively work to enslave populations according to corporate goals, using the governments as their enforcement arms.
Fascism is the great issue of the day, and yet most people are far too ignorant to see it springing up all around them.
