As Dr. Ben Carson dukes it out with the various media outlets in what is a meaningless and pointless spectacle about his anger management and career opportunities as an adolescent and a young man, there is something that is much more relevant to whether or not Carson is suited to be president of the United States that is getting virtually no attention. Dr. Carson may be a likable, nice guy these days, and its these days that matter, but hes doing a very bad thing.
Dr. Carson now supports the Trans Pacific Partnership, (TPP). Its a horrendous giveaway of American sovereignty to unaccountable and uncontrollable international commissions. It also bestows a separate and uncontrollable system of corporate 'justice,' one which is superior to American law, as well as establishing the mechanisms for uncontrolled and unrestricted immigration from all signatory nations into the United States.
All of these conditions are beyond the redress of the citizens and beyond the reach of Congress. TPP is so bad that until it was posted for review last week it had been classified, with lawmakers wishing to read it having to swear silence and do so without taking notes or having the assistance of their staff. It was released for review only after the fast track trade authority that is also an unconstitutional violation of the obligation of Congress to ratify treaties by a two thirds majority was approved by the corrupted Congress. They agreed to and did, under the reprehensible leadership of McConnell, Boehner and with Ryans stewardship, to sign away one third of the ratification votes. They did so, we are told, in the interest of expediency, to make it easy. Congress is lazy, and doing their jobs the right and constitutional way is just too hard. Its also a lot harder to make some of those bonus bucks that go along with committing the right violation of the peoples trust.
As bad as that is, it gets worse. there are two more similar packages awaiting just the right opportunity to be shoved down the throats of the American people, for a time when the unscrupulous members of Congress will be the least vulnerable to retaliation by the citizens they are screwing in their pursuit of equally underhanded, deceptive actions.
So what is there about the TPP that Dr. Ben Carson likes? Why would a candidate who just wrote a book about the Constitution support such a blatant attack on our sovereignty, self-determination and our borders?
According to a November 6th article in the Wall Street Journal, Carson said:
'He supports the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement negotiated by the White House aligning himself more with the GOPs establishment wing than with the social conservatives who have powered his campaign.'
'Mr. Carsons backing of the 12 nation Pacific trade deal places him at odds with Donald Trump, his chief rival for support among anti-establishment Republicans. Mr. Carson had expressed skepticism about the TPP, saying in a June interview with the Huffington Post that he would not give President Barack Obama 'fast track' authority to negotiate the deal.
Now, a day after the White House posted the text of the TPP deal online, Mr. Carsons campaign said Friday that he supports the final product.
Mr. Carson, spokesman Doug Watts said, 'believes the agreement does help to level the playing field in key markets and is important to improve our ties to trading partners in Asia as a counterbalance to Chinas influence in the region.' Mr. Watts said Mr. Carson is 'now inclined to support TPP, with reservations.'
Mr. Carsons new support for the trade deal comes as the Republican Partys decades long support for free trade is splintering. Mr. Trump is leading a wing of anti trade candidates that includes social conservatives Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who had backed the 'fast-track' legislation aimed at expediting TPP approval, backed away from the bill because he said Republicans couldnt trust Mr. Obama and said approving the deal would open American companies to increased foreign competition and boost illegal immigration.
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told the Wall Street Journal last month that he opposes the TPP unless it includes enforceable rules to prevent currency manipulation.
Still backing the trade legislation are the partys establishment wing candidates: Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Chris Christie of New Jersey.
Mr. Rubios spokesman said that although he backed the bill granting Mr. Obama fast track trade authority this summer, he has not decided whether to support TPP legislation.
Its interesting that the almost 5,500 pages of legalese were able to be read, digested and evaluated in a single day, perhaps indicative of the comprehension and reading skills that Carson utilized in medical school. More likely they’re indicative of the political leanings of his supporters or his own failure to recognize the destruction that is contained in that document. TPP completely and fundamentally transforms America just as Hussein Obama promised.
In early June Carson voiced an opposing view, telling the Huffington Post, 'We are a republic, and that means that the people are in charge through their representatives, and the president is only one person.' The people will have absolutely no say in their affairs under this agreement. His claims that it was a reading of the text that shifted his opinion simply dont add up. He couldnt have read the over 100 pounds of text in a day, although teams of campaign workers could have. Regardless, there is nothing in there that supports the notion that our Representatives are empowered by the deal. It is quite the opposite, foreign tribunals and commissions are the decision makers and they are not subject to Congressional authority or oversight.
Paul Ryan, the career paid rent a rep, Hussein Obama, the Marxist working feverishly to destroy America and Ben Carson all agree with the Establishment GOP, Chamber of Commerce, Fascist camps of Kasich, Christie and Bush, that an invasion and loss of sovereignty is good for America and Americans.
Of course it isnt, its good for companies registered in America that are parasitically feeding off of us. And its good for the wholly purchased political operatives and candidates who earn their living and contributions by selling out their nation. Aside from those relatively few beneficiaries, this 'deal' benefits no Americans. Not a single individual who claims to be an American, who truly loves and respects their nation can in good conscience, with the knowledge of what it foreshadows, support it.
It marks the American citizens as an endangered species and moves us further down the road to extinction. Dr. Carson might want to reread those 5,500 pages and reevaluate his decision, considering it from the perspective of the people whose vote hes trying to win.
Im Rick Wells , a conservative writer who recognizes that our nation, our Constitution and our traditions are under a full scale assault from multiple threats. Im not PC; I call it like I see it.
I won’t be surprised if Carson decides to change his position in tomorrow night’s debate. Last debate he changed his position on subsidies.
I’m so sick of hearing about this damn Carson, time for him to get off the stage.
I wonder what the world would be like today had Obama received the same scrutiny by the media.
The free market certainly does NOT kill U.S. sovereignty. How can people get so confused?
Sovereignty has to do with enforcing U.S. political and constitutional law, not with the voluntary cooperation of the market economy which, if run right in terms of foreign trade, would have minimal government interference.
Just out of curiosity, who is Rick Wells?
Flipping positions on the fly, getting owned and led around by the media, supporting the statist status quo and low energy!
NOT presidential material.
Rick Wells is a Conservative author who writes for the Universal Free Press.
TPP kills sovereignty by allowing our country to be over run by foreign workers. Jeff Sessions has sounded the alarm on this and other sovereignty issues that TPP raises.
Carson has been “Kookified” . that means he is a certified Kook.
“over run by foreign workers”
How?
Unfortunately, I don’t think it would have changed a thing. Obama supporters and Carson supporters seem oblivious to policy issues. There seems to be an almost mindless spellbound following that has nothing to do with substance.
...and another one bites the dust...
Really shameful that a self proclaimed “Christan Conservative” Freeper is so willing to knowingly repeats these lies day in and day out about Carson like this.

No, you need to be able to explain it in your own words. Otherwise you come off like you don’t really know but just say so becasue somebody else does.
Knowing mis-repesenting a canidate's positions just because you dislike the candidate does not help you make your case.
So Cruz supporters, since you have decided to cling to your tactics of childish personal attacks, on your heads be it..
New day, same old childish personal attacks and bile laced tirades from the Cruz choir.
Say children, how about you explain these flip flops by St Ted?
