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.
You mean the same TPP that St Ted of Texas voted to fast track thus making it almost impossible to stop? I suppose we should just ignore the fact that blessed St Ted changed his position on TPP once the presidential polling told him to?
Only problem with this song and dance is his FAST TRACK vote makes it almost impossible to stop. So was St Ted wrong to be for it or is he merely lying now when he says he is against it?
Probably no better, with the caliber of pols in the US and EU from then who are in power now.
You know what I want? I want EVERY pol to go through the same scrutiny Dr. Carson is going through. Instead of whining, a patriot would welcome a climate where any and all pols face those challenges to their backgrounds and intentions.
The best of the constitutional conservatives will hold up just fine.
TPP is not free market. It mandates conditions for contracts and who you can trade with.
Ted Voted “No” on TPA.
Good question !
I think FR has had an invasion ....
When a Trade Agreement overrides our immigration laws, that is an attack on our sovereignty. When a Trade Agreement over rides Any of our laws, that is an attack on our sovereignty. In this Agreement, a National Panel can override our laws and the will of the American people, as well as overrule our Congress.
What the matter?
Real questions about your guy is unfair but your reckless daily personal attacks against everyone else is suppose to be OK?
Sorry you were warned. Stick to the issues, stay out of the gutter. You choose the gutter.
Well, Johnnie TPP IS an issue. Carson is on the wrong side of TPP, and illegal immigration.
Which part of Mr. Well’s article did you disagree with?
So in your world. St Ted of Texas is such a wonderous god like figure that we mere mortals should just bask in the glow of his brillance and questions nothing he does or says.
Anyone who stands in the way of St Ted is an anti god who must be destoryed by any means necessary.
Ummm NO, not drinking your kool-aid, sorry.
LOL!
Have you noticed a parallel between Carson supporters and those who supported Obama? It is almost like they are in a trance.
Woohoo! Dynamite post!
>> “St Ted of Texas is such a wonderous god like figure that we mere mortals should just bask in the glow of his brilliance”
Well said! I’m happy to quote you on that! I just KNEW you’d come over from the dark side sooner or later!
Somebody has to say it. Carson has got to go and soon. He is a terrible candidate with deplorable stands on all major issues. He will stumble tomorrow night because the debate is going to be mostly on the economy and he has no clue.
