Leaked TISA Documents Reveal Privacy Threat
Forbes ^ | 06/04/15 | Emma Woollacott

Under the draft provisions of the latest trade deal to be leaked by Wikileaks, countries could be barred from trying to control where their citizens’ personal data is held or whether it’s accessible from outside the country.

Like TTIP and TPP, TISA could be sped through Congress using Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority, which has been passed by the US Senate and may be taken up in the House this month. Under TPA, Congress is barred from making amendments to the trade deals, and most simply give yes-or-no approval.

And the contents of TISA make interesting reading, particularly for anybody concerned about privacy. Under the draft agreement, the EU would be barred from requiring the personal data of its citizens to be held within European borders, an idea currently under discussion in Germany.

These rules could in some ways have a beneficial effect: they could, for example, be used to outlaw state censorship.

However, there are clear implications for privacy – as well as security from hacking. EU privacy regulations currently require companies to store EU citizens’ personal data locally, to make sure they comply with the region’s strict legal requirements for data processing. Tech companies like Facebook, Google, and internet advertising networks would be delighted to see such rules relaxed.

It’s a complicated issue, and one that should really be discussed in public, before any agreement is reached. As Maira Sutton of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has previously noted, “Negotiators should be working to reconcile this tension between powerful private and public actors who may have conflicting stances on major human rights issues such as privacy and free expression.

If this “trade” treaty is passed the the chair will be against the wall.

Let’s see now:

An extremely complicated “comprehensive” treaty that is too long — and too unfinished — for any rational person to actually read and understand it!

and

Both the “trade” provisions and the “governance” provisions (governance!?!) of the treaty are SECRET!

and

Obama “wants” it!

YEP! That’s a Trifecta! Let’s tell the Senate to NOT fall for yet ANOTHER Obama-”Death-to-America-scheme....

Does Boehner and McConnell and obama want to join the European Union?

This "trade deal" will bring all citizen's private and personal data (including medical and financial) under an international cabal that is answerable to no one but itself.

The Anti-Christ system is almost completely in place.

The Satanic world system is rapidly progressing toward Antichrist

The Drudge lead-in for this article is:

“OBAMATRADE: GLOBAL ACCESS TO CITIZENS’ DATA...”

What could possibly go wrong?

“...The Anti-Christ system is almost completely in place...”

It's surreal, but it's happening before our very eyes.

There are a lot of people who don’t see where it’s all going, either.
