Other Nations Are Heavily Opposing Obama's "Need" for TPP

[truedelphi]

The video that is at the top of this article is very revealing, just of itself.

And the article explains a great many reasons why so many other nations don't want to turn their countries into the Corporate-run state our One Money party has going on 24/7, here inside what used to be the USA:

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration appears to have almost no international support for controversial new trade standards that would grant radical new political powers to corporations, increase the cost of prescription medications and restrict bank regulation, according to two internal memos obtained by The Huffington Post.

The memos, which come from a government involved in the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations, detail continued disputes in the talks over the deal. The documents reveal broad disagreement over a host of key positions, and general skepticism that an agreement can be reached by year-end. The Obama administration has urged countries to reach a deal by New Year's Day, though there is no technical deadline.

One memo, which was heavily redacted before being provided to HuffPost, was written ahead of a new round of talks in Singapore this week. Read the full text of what HuffPost received here. (Note: Ellipses indicate redacted text. Text in brackets has been added by a third party.) Another document, a chart outlining different country positions on the text, dates from early November, before the round of negotiations in Salt Lake City, Utah. View the chart here. HuffPost was unable to determine which of the 11 non-U.S. nations involved in the talks was responsible for the memo.

1. There are lots of countries who are not owned by corporations. Unfortunately the US is not one

of them.

2. Does The Transparency President even let them see it?

If I were His Transparentness, I wouldn't let them see it - that was a mistake that, fortunately, he won't make with the American 99%.

They can sign it without seeing it, or our little friend Droney can loiter overhead until...

4. Good. I hope it fails. And fails bad.

No more of these awful multilateral trade agreements.

5. To understand why The Powers To Be favor the TPP is that they

think they have been ordained to rule on our behalf. The ruling class believe that since they are wealthy that means they know better than the poor peons. We need a new Declaration of Independence.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people [the 99%] to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another [the 1%] and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

We need to declare our separation from the ruling 1%.

12. Problem is, Ibetcha 80% of all Americans are unaware of the TPP.

13. That is one of the most serious of our problems. We must learn how to catapult the propaganda. nm

6. Time to warm up the drones..

..and get some Freedom Bombs ready.

Bombing another country is not an Act of War when WE do it.
It is merely and Act of Persuasion.
(SEE: John Kerry, Syria)

Holiday eggnog,, and that the report comes to us.
