GOP set to fast-track 'New World Order' pact

House Dems now last line of resistance to controversial trade agreement

With House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, already deciding to vote with Senate Democrats to grant fast track authority for congressional consideration of the TPP, the only remaining opposition to the bill seems to be coming from House Democrats. Pressured by labor union constituents, the House Democrats have concluded the massive Trans-Pacific trade deal capitulates to corporate interest groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, placing under international control important U.S. environmental, public-health and labor standards.

With Boehner’s decision to support Obama on TPP, the Republican Party appears ready to ignore concerns raised by GOP conservatives and various tea-party groups that the 12-nation deal further undermines U.S. sovereignty. The opponents argue it places major sectors of the U.S. economy under a new dispute-regulation mechanism that takes precedence over U.S. judges and courts.

The TPP is the first part of a two-ocean globalist plan the Obama administration is working quietly to put into place. The goal is to follow up the passage of the TPP with the finalization of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the United States and the European Union.

Advancing the NWO agenda

The globalists advising the Obama administration
appear to have learned from the adverse public reaction to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP, during the administration of President George W. Bush. Obama has avoided the leader summit meetings that exposed to a critical alternative news media the international “working group” coordination needed to create international free-trade agreements. The Obama administration has shut down the Security and Prosperity Partnership website, SPP.gov.

WND does not mention Obama in this article (other than "the globalists advising the Obama administration&quot . It focuses on Boehner and republicans in the House. It must be galling for them to have to look to House Democrats (and a few " GOP conservatives and various tea-party groups&quot to block the TPP.

Strange "bedfellows" on both sides of this.

kind of thing, but beyond that, what on earth is your point in using the ridiculous WND as a source?

is by posting articles from RW sources. There are folks here who brave the freeper world at time to posts what they see there. I don't see anything wrong with that if they can stomach it.

The right is not opposed to the TPP for reasons related to the welfare of American workers or the environment or the health of the middle class. Indeed, given the influence that corporations have on our national government, it is perhaps a bit too convenient that the right wants to protect our government from outside, perhaps more progressive, influences. If corporations run the government, the right can protect this condition by ensuring that no outside forces upset the situation.
