Wikileaks has gotten their hands on a copy of Obama’s phony TPP trade bill. It contains 29 chapters but only 5 pertain to trade. Wikileaks will be publishing the entire bill and they have already released the chapter on Investment. It’s very interesting. It is written in a such a way as to give multinational companies a huge advantage on trade. If a public hospital is built close to a private one, the private hospital has the right to sue the country for expected losses. That is outrageous. Here is where you can find the chapter on investment: https://wikileaks.org/tpp-investment/WikiLeaks-TPP-Investment-Chapter/page-2.html
The agreement also regulates the internet and requires internet companies to gather certain data which they will be required to share with certain private companies. Many of the provisions will not only be secret before the vote in the House, but will also be kept secret for four years after the bill is signed. That means we won’t know what’s in it even after it’s passed.

And if I’m not mistaken, some Republican Senators voted for this garbage didn’t they?
Ping
Government secrets will be secret no more.
Who is writing this thing?
Don’t whine about the tpp or the bedwetting free trade at all costs freeples will whine and be cheesed about it.....
Who is writing this thing?
The people who pull the strings of those who say we gotta pass it to find out whats in it....
The problem is the Constitution empowers Congress to fix the jurisdiction and even the existence of the federal court system. Second, the Constitution permits treaties to become the law of the land. There is, however, a body of constitutional law which holds that treaties which violates certain of the Bill of Rights are unconstitutional.
Any red-blooded conservative will feel indignant at the idea of his rights being dependent on the dubious patriotism of the likes of the women on the United States Supreme Court.
This treaty undermines the Article III powers of the judicial branch and vests them in a foreign court. In doing so it not only destroys the intent of Article III as interpreted since Marbury vs. Madison, it destroys the Article I powers of Congress to fix, within limits, the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Beyond that, it deprives citizens of their constitutional rights as they appear in those courts, all of this being done in secret so it is procedurally as well is substantively corrupt.
I would like to read it, but does opening the link expose you to government spying on your computer or make you end up on an NSA list?
Yep and Boehner too.

After the 2014 elections, Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Boehner (R-OH) jointly and separately announced that they would support President Obama’s request for Trade Promotion Authority and give its implementing legislation a priority consideration.
Such support is baffling since President Obama, throughout the TPP negotiations, has refused to allow members of Congress or the American people to see the text of the treaty, claiming such transparency would impede negotiations. Now that the negotiations are effectively finished, Mr. Obama continues to keep the text secret, claiming that public disclosure of the text would impede ratification. The question, of course, is what mysteries and surprises lie therein?
Cruz, rubio, and paul voted for this travesty too. So are they really the best candidates for 2016. A Senator for president , look what we got already in a former senator. the democrats have a former senator too! Please america can do better! So wikileaks is letting the cat out of the bag, what are the other 14 chapters about Internet is in there! How about gun Control? Universal Healthcare? UN Agenda 21? Social engineering of rural America to be resettling rural cities to major metropolitan areas! What else is in the secret trade deal!
You use the internet, so you are already of a NSA list.
BKMK!
What does it say about registration or regulation of firearms? I would not put that past the Obatraitor or the one world types.
Wikileaks.
thank you,
Obama isn’t the only traitor. The fast track was approved by the Senate.
Don’t forget Congress. Obama told them they could not engage in any activity that advice and consent would entail - they could not discuss it, they could not read it except under special circumstances, they could not take notes, etc. Being so demeaned the groveling nitwits then clamored to give “fast track” authority to Obama.
We’re going to need a very large scaffold.
Obamacare redux...
What do you think of this?
The question really is what republicans will do more than give lip service to oppose it...
This treaty overrides our laws and Constitution to befit multi-national corporations...TPP is not about freeing trade. Rather, that’s the line being used to divert attention from the proposed content.......
TPP is more to do with enabling multinational corporations to exert control over policy making in the signatory countries......those countries are:
United States,... Japan,... Mexico, ...Canada,... Australia,... Malaysia,... Chile,... Singapore,... Peru, ...Vietnam, ...New Zealand ...and Brunei.
TPP would elevate individual foreign firms ‘to equal status with sovereign nations’, ...... by dragging governments to foreign tribunals to challenge public interest policies that they claim frustrate their expectations.”
When Clinton Signed NAFTA he had promised a growing trade surplus and declining illegal immigration from Mexico, precisely the opposite happened . Same when Clinton was fighting in 2000 for the congressional votes needed to admit China to the World Trade Organization,... Clinton said that 0pening China’s markets to U.S. products and services would be the biggest single step we could take to reduce America’s growing trade deficit with China, the U.S. trade deficit with China soared and we lost many manufacturing companies and jobs.
