Trans-Pacific Partnership is about more than Trade
Canada Free Press ^ | 06/02/15 | Scott Powell

Why the Republican-controlled Senate recently passed the fast-track provision to advance Obama's secretive trade pact is an enigma

Most common sense people rightly assume that reducing trade barriers is good in and of itself. But it’s a mistake to think that the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) involving the U.S., Canada and ten other countries that is close to being concluded after six plus years of negotiation under the Obama administration is primarily a free trade pact. It’s also a misstep to grant the Obama administration with fast-track authority and the attendant secrecy on all details of this trade pact.

The experience with Obama’s Affordable Care Act, his Executive Order on Immigration, and his ongoing nuclear agreement negotiations with Iran remind us that the devil in the details once passed and implemented can be harmful and problematic to correct.

TPP has beneficial objectives such as opening up Japan’s highly restricted agricultural markets to more imports from the U.S. But, as details of the trade pact get leaked, it is becoming apparent that trade liberalization may be a small part of TPP. Much of the agreement’s language appears to be devoted to establishing global authoritarian decision-making on environmental, energy, labor, immigration and even intellectual property policy.

Two words: Obama legacy

Now I have to ask, with what we know already, don’t you think there will be many MANY flies in the ointment?

Sounds to me like a component of Agenda 21 and setting the stage for the NWO may have been put into place with this legislation. I don’t think we have to guess anymore about Obama’s actions being guided by outide forces to achieve certain goals that are aimed towards bringing about the NWO. Its alsobecoming more apparent that a script was pre-written for him before entering office and that he’s just the figurehead (and why he’s always playing golf a lot more than he actually works). The man was groomed and trained for the task for many decades.

If it was purely about trade Obola couldn’t care less, but since he is pushing for it you have to know it’s about fundamental transformation. The only legislation this administration notices has to do with pushing Marxism.
