TPP Bribe Money

A decade in the making, the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is reaching its climax and as Congress hotly debates the biggest trade deal in a generation, its backers have turned on the cash spigot in the hopes of getting it passed.

Barack Obama given 'fast-track' authority over trade deal negotiations Read more “We’re very much in the endgame,” US trade representative Michael Froman told reporters over the weekend at a meeting of the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum on the resort island of Boracay. His comments came days after TPP passed another crucial vote in the Senate.

That vote, to give Barack Obama the authority to speed the bill through Congress, comes as the president’s own supporters, senior economists and a host of activists have lobbied against a pact they argue will favor big business but harm US jobs, fail to secure better conditions for workers overseas and undermine free speech online.

Those critics are unlikely to be silenced by an analysis of the sudden flood of money it took to push the pact over its latest hurdle.

Fast-tracking the TPP, meaning its passage th....

Didn’t "conservative" Ted Cruz vote for Obama's TPP? Yes, he did, in a crucial vote which gave Boobamba fast-track authority on TPP...the text was so classified, not even members of Congress were allowed to read it.

Republican votes for this were even more horrendous since Obama calls the TPP deal "central" to his second-term legacy, as well as to his "foreign policy" and "economic" agendas.

Republicans voting to insure Obama's legacy should be relegated to the trash heap of history---not running for president.

==================================================

POINTS TO PONDER

NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.

All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

Obama's got the MO down to a science. Now let's retrace how he got Obamacare passed.

The Untraceable ObamaCare billions---truly govt fraud at its finest---
designed to consolidate Democrat power over Americans.

<><> ObamaCare Can't Account for Almost $3 Billion In Subsidy Payments to insurers;

<><> $9 billion missing---conned by Michele's pal for the dumb Obamacare web site;

<><> $4 billion Harry Reid attached to a Medicare bill to buy Mary Landrieu's Obamacare vote----still missing.

<><> $6 billion tax dollars for PR---still missing:

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov

The FBI should: (1) check-out Obama's two "foundations" (two that we know of). (2) Check-out Valerie's wire transfers, cell phone records, and hard drives. (3) Check- out Obama's offshore accounts. And for good measure, (4) check-out the cunning Clintons' get-rich-quick foundation formula.
