Republican Senator (Jeff Sessions) Warns Secret Obamatrade Creates‘Pacific Union’ Akin To EUnion
Posted on 06/11/2015 8:09:17 PM PDT by Serws
Are you as confused about the Trade Promotion Authority bill/trade agreement/drama as much as I am? Sen. Jeff Sessions is one of its most outspoken critics, and was on Hannity recently to warn about whats being discussed
Ive been there three times and I can tell you it is far more than a trade agreement, he said. It is a creating of an economic union. The congressional resource said it is a wide-ranging political and economic partnership that is created where the Sultan of Brunei gets one vote. The president of the United States gets one vote. Twelve countries they have the ability to add other treaties and pass them. They have the ability to deal with climate issues, wage issues and environmental issues. Theres just no doubt about that.
The Senator went on to say that he thinks the main reason its being kept secret is because if people were aware of it they would stop it dead in its tracks, and went on to compare it to the European Union. But then you read articles in the Washington Free Beacon and Federalist contradicting a lot of the rumors about this, so
I really dont know.

Rep Dave Brat (R) Virginia told us WHAT TO DO !
" GLENN: All right. So Friday is the day.
The vote happens TOMORROW.
And, Dave, what should people do?
Should we call our congressmen?
DAVE: Yeah.
Right.
Ask your congressmen to explain to you
And if they dont tell you anything,
say,I dont trust the current regime.
And I want A NO VOTE out of you.
I mean, thats what the phone calls coming into my district are 21 against.
And Im voting my constituents and my principles.
And in a year, if we sort this thing out and it becomes transparent and everythings fine, Im a free trader, Ill vote yes.
But right now Obamacare, right, it was so it was going to lower costs.
Read the first sentence of Obamacare.
Right?It will provide insurance to more people, and it will lower costs.
Well, it didnt lower the costs.
Everybody has the check in the mail now.
You learn the hard way.
And you have a $5,000 deductible.Oops.
We didnt know that going in, in our talking points
And Im worried the same thing can happen in this trade deal.Oops.
Theres a little deal in there, and we missed it.
Well, thats not good governance. "
"DAVE: ... But in this day and age, THE FIRST FEW WORDS ARE THE KEY.Well GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.
And thats the thats the big asterisk.
So were going to give more authority to a president who has already done a run around us on executive amnesty, on the IRF, and the list just goes down and down and down.
Breaking promises on Obamacare, EPA overreach, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Some guys are in districts where trade is huge, and theyre representing their people, which is their job.
And so, you know, different representatives really do have a tough votes (Phoenix) at times.
But in my view, THERE'S TOO MANY NOSES IN THIS THING. "
Here's a link to THEBLAZE TV if you have a subscription.
Start at 02:34:35 and go thru to 02:48:45 .
But the whole 3 hour show, especially with
Rabbi Daniel Lapin from the
American Alliance of Jews and Christians, is well worth your time.
Now that sentence IMMEDIATELY makes me AGAINST THE BILL:
Well GIVE TRADE AUTHORITY TO President Obama.
As long as THAT FACT is in the bill, I will NEVER be for it, and will ALWAYS BE AGAINST THAT BILL !
But let's look at what else he made clear.
" DAVE: ... Well, you guys probably covered the doc fix.
And on that thing, our leadership can go to Democrat leadership and find 300 votes, and its a done deal.
And worse than that,our guys have dug into it. Mick Mulvaney and Jim Jordan have done great work on this thing.
And there are actually FIVE (5) HIGH HURDLES TO STOPPING THIS THING.
So basically if we vote yes the best way to think about this thing is just a locomotive train.
Right?
If we hit go, that train is going forward, AND THERE'S NO STOPPING IT.
...
DAVE: ... Its a living document.
The scariest part of it is thatIT CREATES this Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission.
And that commission will likely HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO NOT ONLY CHANGE ITS MEMBERSHIP AND THE AGREEMENT ITSELF,
BUT TO ISSUE REGULATIONS RELATING TO IMMIGRATION,
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, CURRENCY POLICY, LABOR POLICY.
Its an open-ended commission.
And thats why I was using that locomotive analogy.
Once you start that train down the road, IN ORDER TO STOP IT YOU HAVE TO GO TO "NOs" IN ORDER TO STOP IT FROMWays and Means,
the Rules Committee,
Senate Finance,
and the House,
and the Senate.
SO THERE'S FIVE VOTES YOU NEED TO STOP IT.
So our conservative group, the Freedom Caucus, with Jim Jordan and all these guys, were trying to change the direction of that thingso that any member can stop it. "
NEVER LET THIS ABOMINATION (Obama-Nation) OF A BILL GET STARTED.
KILL IT NOW !

This has been the plan for decades. Divide the world into several economic blocks and then combine the blocks into one super-state.

Whatever it is, just on principle it is best to avoid writing blank checks, or buying pigs in pokes, or cashing/mailing checks in correspondence with purported Nigerian royal family members.

I am not sure why we would should care if these Pacific countries form an EU type organization. The EU does not include the US and unless this organization does include the US, I am not much concerned.
I am concerned that the trade agreement be about trade and not climate change, immigration etc.

We have to vote for the trade bill to find out what’s in the trade bill. Now where have I heard that before?
