From My Point of View

When you get rid of all the mumbo jumbo of the TAP and TPP,
This is what you have left. Are you ready for it?

RULE BY THE CORPORATIONS

The Transatlantic and Transpacific Trade and Investment Partnerships have nothing to do with free trade. “Free trade” is used as a disguise to hide the power these agreements give to corporations to use law suits to overturn sovereign laws of nations that regulate pollution, food safety, GMOs and minimum wages.
The first thing to understand is that these so-called “partnerships” are not laws written by Congress. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the authority to legislate, but these laws are being written without the participation of Congress. The laws are being written by corporations solely in the interest of their power and profit. The office of U.S. Trade Representative was created in order to permit corporations to write law that serves only their interests. This fraud on the Constitution and the people is covered up by calling trade laws “treaties.”
Indeed, Congress is not even permitted to know what is in the laws and is limited to the ability to accept or refuse what is handed to Congress for a vote. Normally, Congress accepts, because “so much work has been done” and “free trade will benefit us all.”
The presstitutes have diverted attention from the content of the laws to “fast track.” When Congress votes “fast track,” it means Congress accepts that corporations can write the trade laws without the participation of Congress. Even criticisms of the “partnerships” are a smoke screen. Countries accused of slave labor could be excluded but won’t be. Super patriots complain that U.S. sovereignty is violated by “foreign interests,” but U.S. sovereignty is violated by U.S. corporations. Others claim yet more U.S. jobs will be offshored. In actual fact, the “partnerships” are unnecessary to advance the loss of American jobs as there is nothing that inhibits jobs offshoring now.
What the “partnerships” do is to make private corporations immune to the laws of sovereign countries on the grounds that laws of countries adversely impact corporate profits and constitute “restraint of trade.”
For example, under the Transatlantic Partnership, French laws against GMOs would be overturned as “restraints on trade” by law suits filed by Monsanto.
Countries that require testing of imported food, such as pork for trichinosis, and fumigation would be subject to lawsuits from corporations, because these regulations increase the cost of imports.
Countries that do not provide monopoly protection for brand name pharmaceuticals and chemical products, and allow generics in their place, can be sued for damages by corporations.
Obama himself has no input into the process. Here is what is going on: The Trade Representative is a corporate stooge. He serves the private corporations and will go on to a million dollar annual salary. The corporations have bribed the political leaders in every country to sign away their sovereignty and the general welfare of their people to private corporations. Corporations have paid U.S. senators large sums for transferring Congress’ law-making powers to corporations. When these “partnerships” pass, no country that signed will have any legislative authority to legislate or enforce any law that any corporation regards as inimical to its bottom line.
Yes, the great promiser of change is bringing change. He is turning Asia, Europe, and the U.S. over to rule by the corporations.
Only those who have sold their integrity for money sign these agreements. Apparently Merkel, a Washington vassal, is one of them.
According to news reports, both of France’s main political parties have sold out to the corporations, but not Marine Le Pen’s National Front Party. In the last EU elections, the dissident parties, such as Le Pen and Farage’s, prevailed over the traditional parties, but the dissidents are yet to prevail in their own countries.
Marine Le Pen objects to the secrecy of the agreements that establishes corporate rule. As Europe’s only leader, she speaks:
It is vital that the French people know about TTIP’s content and its motivations in order to be able to fight it. Because our fellow countrymen must have the choice of their future, because they should impose a model for society that suits them, and not one forced by multinational companies eager for profits, Brussels technocrats bought by the lobbies, and politicians from the UMP [party of former president Nicolas Sarkozy] who are subservient to these technocrats.
It is vital that the American public also know; but not even Congress is permitted to know.
How does it work, this “freedom and democracy” that we Americans allegedly have, when neither the people nor their elected representatives are permitted to participate in the making of laws that enable private corporations to negate the law-making functions of governments and place corporate profit above the general welfare?

Still have doubts about america being the Communist States of America?

In a meeting discussing this secret trade bill House ways and means chairman republican representative paul ryan told a fellow republican member......

“By the way, TPA—it’s declassified and made public once it’s agreed to,” 

Translation.....the people have no right to know what their elected government officials are doing until they are ready to tell citizens what they did to them.

swallow hard people, you are about to have obamatrade, with all it's immigration clauses included, crammed down your throats right on top of obamacare with it's unconstitutional taxes.....

and, just as with obamacare......you have no right to know what is in it until it is passed into law and forced on you....

By all means buy a new flag and some sparklers for the 4th of July......

because you have nothing but the past to be proud of......

Mr. Tipton,

Not gonna happen in our lifetime.  

Much like the Iraqi army...the american people have no will to fight.  They are not hurting enough.

They have learned to endure and accept.  Much like the Russian people.

The national war for America has been lost.   The battle field has shifted to the State level.   

Even on a smaller battle field the people will not put up a fight; only a half-hearted verbal resistance.

The American people have been betrayed and defeated by their government because they would not vigilantly stand guard duty with due diligence.

The last battle field for the Constitution is at the State level.  Amendment 10 of the U.S. Constitution is the foundation of this rightful battle.

Will the people take a stand to demand their State uphold and adhere to the U.S. Constitution?   I have seen nothing to give me any reason to believe that they will.

States will continue to cower to the Federal government and their bribes.  The people will continue to endure and accept.

The lessons of America will go the same way as the lessons other nations such as Germany.....They will be ignored by future Nations and societies.

America, as a Nation and a way of life, does not have another 100 years or even 50 years to win over the hearts and minds of the people with websites and meet & greet meetings held in the shadows preaching to the choir.  

The few Patriots that are left must return to the streets with a physical presence and show of determined & sustained effort in order to regain any lost ground and renew interest among the people.  the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Support can not be gained in a vacuum.  Shay's rebellion did not start with Mr. Shay.

Amen Franklyn--but I still know someone will rally the few of us who give a damm to end this tyranny by whatever means necessary. Is it you--is it me--is it ??????

America is wholly given over to communism...and, the people are just find with that.

Losing their country will not be anymore painful to them than giving up their freedom was.

The people have gotten the government and president they deserve.

The power of a true Marxist comes out with this “Fast Track Agreement.”! Capitol Cronyism reveals itself on both party sides - it’s all about power and money for them. They want NOTHING to get in their way and this is how it’s done. 

No wonder Julian Assange with WikiLeaks offered up $100,000 for anyone who could provide copies of TPP documents. They are top secret. “Fair Trade NOT Free Trade - Flush the TPP” says demonstrators in Tokyo this week.

Gee- I was shocked to learn that we no longer have rule of law based on the Constitution. And our team --the conservatives who we got elected--threaten to hold hearings. That will stop the naughty corporations and the traitors who run our country. Has any one of these weasels ever invoked the rebellion clause of a free society ???.Hell no ---It looks like that is up to us --the saps that live our daily lives ranting and raving but take no physical action.  We get what we deserve--a society that is no longer free.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
