Leaked Treaty: Worse Than SOPA and ACTA
Treaty Threatens Global Government … Run by Giant Corporations
We noted last year:
An international treaty being negotiated in secret which would not only crack down on Internet privacy much more than SOPA or ACTA, but would actually destroy the sovereignty of the U.S. and all other signatories.
It is called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
We also noted that even Congressmen are furious that the bill was being kept secret from the American public.
And that the TPP is an anti-American power grab by big corporations.
Wikileaks has now leaked the intellectual property chapter of the secret treaty … and it’s as bad as we feared.
Public Citizen explains how the TPP would limit people’s access to affordable medicine.
And International Business Times explains:
The TPP’s chapter on IP deals with a host of issues, but its potential impacts on basic Internet freedom and usage are perhaps the ones that would directly impact the most people in the short term. One of the biggest concerns about the agreement raised by the Internet freedom advocacy group the Electronic Frontier Foundation centers around the concept of “temporary copies.” Here’s the text of the relevant section of the TPP’s intellectual property chapter leaked Wednesday:
“Each Party shall provide that authors, performers, and producers of phonograms have the right to authorize or prohibit all reproductions of their works, performances, and phonograms, in any manner or form, permanent or temporary (including temporary storage in electronic form).”
The EFF wrote in a July analysis of the language – which has not been amended in the intervening months — that the provision “reveals a profound disconnect with the reality of the modern computer,” which relies on temporary copies to perform routine operations, during which it must create temporary copies of programs and files in order to carry out basic functions. This is particularly so while a computer is connected to the Internet, when it will use temporary copies to buffer videos, store cache files to ensure websites load quickly and more.
“Since it’s technically necessary to download a temporary version of everything we see on our devices, does that mean—under the US proposed language—that anyone who ever views content on their device could potentially be found liable of infringement?” the EFF wrote. “For other countries signing on to the TPP, the answer would be most likely yes.”
And see this.
TPP would literally act to destroy the sovereignty of the U.S. and the other nations which sign the bill.
Postscript: Will the powers-that-be renew their labeling of Wikileaks as criminals for leaking an anti-American bill which would gut our nation’s sovereignty?

Here in Switzerland there is practically no way left to rent movies. The cable operators offer *some* movies, but it's not even close to an alternative to a chain of video rental stores. Netflix or LoveFilm are not available due to licensing rights. So, one of the richest countries in the world is forced to download films illegally because the movie studios make it impossible to rent movies legally. Hollywood is nuts, they don't seem to want our money the legal way, they prefer to sue us I guess....
Maybe it was the science fiction when I was twelve but I always supposed both things were innevitable - Evil world powers and a global revolution
With the advent of drones that can fly/swim/walk, the elite will be hidding in their underground palaces killing us remotely with their electronic toys and deadly munitions...
Strike a blow, Snow!

US occupation also leads to very high levels of terrorism
Copyrights are meant to be broken.

"Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry."
That creepy bankster John Key from Merrill Lynch and the New York Fed who's now the Prime Minister of New Zealand is a major driver of this deal.
Worldwide Idiocracy
I've been studying TPP for 2 years now. NAFTA is already in effect so what's the point?
I've been studying TPP for 2 years now. NAFTA is already in effect so what's the point?
The point is that the empire is expanding geographically as well as in its powers. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement: U.S.A., United States of Mexico, and Canada. TPP means geographic expansion by ~8000 km.
Remember the violent protests against the WTO in Seattle? All of these things are related, TPP being only the lateest installment to reach the news.
Here it is:

I skimmed through it. Seems to just be long-winded beaurocrat-speak about copyrights that's hard to understand.
That's why the devil resides in the details.
I have always known that the world around me was going to Hell in a handbasket, but at least in the past it was only going by foot --- now the damn handbasket's on a bullet train.
That's why the Bible describes the end-times as a pregnant woman. You kinda know what's going on early.....then it becomes obvious slowly but surely.
Then....those last few hours when labor begins......YOWZA.....!!!!!!!!
Watch it guys....we have a robo down-voter.
"U.S. Occupation Leads to All-Time High Afghan Opium Production"
of course it does!!!! one of the reasons for the middle eastern war - besides oil - was to take control of the drug trade....it goes back to vietnam through columbia through europe....the bush crime syndicate usa government is the absolute biggest drug cartel in the world....the usa controls 75-90% of world drug trade.
the number 1 mission of usa nato is drug traffic....afghan heroin goes through nato bases, especially the mamoth one in romania, to europe to the usa...the vatican launders the money....the us coast guard escorts drugs through the carribean and atlantic.
They don't call him Poppy Bush for no reason. Him and Clinton are long time drug dealing partners.
Interesting that I've recently been reading about the concept of "corporate sovereignty" that is now being used or on the verge of being used worldwide by multinational entities like Monsanto to force their products on nations that have rejected them, and they have come up with the TPP to keep the monopoly after they've shoved their crap down people's throats. It's a logical strategy for the corporatists who use their political tools to hammer out trade deals behind closed doors to export their brand of fascism dressed up as capitalism.
We had the illusion of choice where one entity monopolises whole markets under multiple brands, we had the illusion of competition, we had the illusion of wealth creation, and now it seems our last illusion of freedom and private property - that when we buy something, it is ours to do as we wish - is about to be shattered.
We are in the age of the licensing agreement. We don't own anything we buy, and only the corporation has rights. No single entity should ever have a monopoly over knowledge, it goes against every belief I have that makes us human: We strive to share and add to the sum total of knowledge.
mcluhan said that business corporations didn't follow the definition of corporate behavior. there's always time to change, or maybe its end of days for the multiinationals. just like some people say the 3D printer destroys gun control. it destroys a lot more than that. it all depends on whether you think that the expansion of political and corporate power has peaked. just ask yourself the question, if the 2008 financial crisis repeated itself and there was no TARP, no bailouts, and no QE, and the big investment banks imploded, how would it affect our lives, not as much as you think
dead on
nice discussion of this constitional coup at 11 min http://www.democracynow.org/ - CATO throws in its thoughts
from the beginning, we never allowed someone to patent food for reasons that are obvious. The door in was the Supreme Court. Monsanto has been buying your lifeblood ever since. Funny how your food has become more secret, more poisonous, less nutritious, and awfull to taste.

Okay GW, I am back! Now this is important! The Cesium cloud in the pacific is diluted to minute values (unless you are a fish) but this is another power grab via treaty. NOW! If our CON gress would do thier job, they would REJECT the treaty and the POTUS can pout (boo hoo) for not getting this tied to our laws.
No treaty is ratified until the Con gress ratifies it. The POTUS can sign all day long, but the CON gress must agree for it to become LAW!
NOPE, the Congress and POtus are on the Corporate page together.
You don't seem to understand the legacy of Reaganista Pax Americana. Its been planned and executed since 1973, and Dear Henry's Trilateral that consecrated via Petrodollar and BW revoke the new first world corporate alliance ( US/EUR/JAP) which took over from Euro-Usa Bilderberger club of 50s and which subsequently evolved into Davos forever in the 1980s under Volcker/Greenspan.
What we have sown we now reap (when I say 'we' I mean THEY and us as collateral).
As a side note please remember : when Dear Henry got the OPEC alliance to sign up to the Saud led deal with USa, he created a RIVAL bureaucracy to supervise the OPEC cartel and define "professional guidelines" for the Trilateral to work.
That brainchild of his was the OECD + IEA based in Paris.
Great strategic thinker Dear Henry and prime architect of ME shuttle diplomacy, now teetering in entropy accumulated from corruption gone viral.
Since when does Bath House Barry obey the "law?'
"Act surprised."
Understand that such "laws" are not made to be followed. In fact, the oligarchs WANT you to break them, so they always have a handy excuse to send their heavily-armed storm troopers in black body armor to rob or kidnap anyone anytime, or murder you if you resist. And a treaty is such a convenient way to circumvent any inconvenient constitutional protections, with the only impediment being ratification by a senate controlled by jackass sock puppets like Dianne Fineswine that will look the other way like a referree on TV wrestling.
Accept that all such treaties negotiated by our current criminal one-party system, including a similar trans-ATLANTIC "partnership" negotiated during the first half of the Bushbama regime, are just pieces of the incremental globalist puzzle.
Remember, Marx not only advocated the abolition of private property, but also nationality, family, religion and morality. Any of these cohesive influences could enable organized resistance to the implementation of their central-banking enabled totalitarian surveillance police state.
"Remember, Marx not only advocated the abolition of private property, but also nationality, family, religion and morality. Any of these cohesive influences could enable organized resistance to the implementation of their central-banking enabled totalitarian surveillance police state."
Ugh. Words disguised as philosophy. Sure, Marx advocated for the abolition of private property as well as nationality and religion (and I say good riddance; what have they brought us), but Marx only advocated for the destruction of the bourgeoisie family that existed at the time, which consisted of, among other things, the capitalist use of child labor. Actually, Marx's criticism could be construed as a call to return to traditional family values, which at the time were being overturned by modern industry. As for morality, whose morality did Marx call for the abolition of? The modern industrial capital framework for morality? The statement is so reductionist in nature that it's essentially meaningless.
Very good point. By tracking who contests the law they get some insight on who their problem cases are.....
Reverse social engineering, kind of like some others we know(wink, wink).
Over.
Busy little authoritarians aren't they.
Hang them, NOW !
Way from NJ to Hemptons too far ?
Why on Earth would an occupied people need to know what their masters have in store for them? Such things are for a free people.
i should just ask him directly, but i've never understood why paul craig roberts doesn't see the existing corporatism as being the nwo already. or others ...
New World Order?...It can't be.
Because didn't Obama, Our Golfer in Chief, double Solar Energy across the USA last year?
Oh, he did, but it was 10 X's its normal cost thanks to his Cronies cashing in.
Perhaps I missed something but what exactly does solar power have to do with the already fully established NWO?
Same people, same stories, same crap
There's always a NWO coming round. Anarchy gives them the proof to the people that the NWO is necessary. Don't play into that hand. Our cards are good enough to win this game. Keep your poker game-face on and let's turn this thing around via the methods established for us. This boogey-man stuff is over the top. If you're concerned run for office and try to change it - that's what the socialist/communists have learned: tell the people what they want to hear then do your worst. Yeah, it's a sham, but that seems to be the way of all political flesh. Gettting harder to determine the 'good' guys from the 'bad' guys. And we are all a little bit of each anyway. So, don't get hung up on this stuff to the point that paralysis sets in. Get politically active in a positive sense. It's what the Founding Fathers envisioned. A political citizenery that 'served' their peers. D.C. has become a cesspool of career political hacks and the government is 3 times the size it should be. America deserves a government it can afford; no more, no less.
@ Trampy
dont put yourself in with them bud,
Just because everyone hates your fucking evil government, dont mean they hate you.
Actually, the hordes of foreign brown people we killed in the name of Americanism will not one bit differentiate between regular Americans and the people chiefly responsible..any why should they? After all, REGULAR AMERICANS are PROUD OF THEIR VETERANS
What's this "we" crap?
By participating in the system you gave consent simple as that. Consent can either be implicit or explicit. We are all guilty on that account in some form or another.

Exactly! There were plenty of Germans who simply looked the other way during Hitler's reign as millions were killed. If they did nothing, and said nothing, the vast majority who all pretended not to know all bear at least some shared responsibility for their country's actions.
What's the difference here? No difference at all. On the radio for Veteran's Day a local business was running an ad saying that we need to honor our veterans because they laid down their lives for our freedoms and it ends with "No nation has ever given so much of its blood and treasure to defend freedom." We should all hang our head in shame instead of bragging about the evil we cause.
Makes me want to vomit for being surrounded by brain-washed zombies! We have a president who is pushing to out-do Josef Stalin in assassinating "enemies of the state" and Amnesty International (sic) sees nothing fundamentally wrong with using weaponized drones as tools of state terrorism! WTF.
Cognitive Dissonance. "If you're gonna lie, tell a big lie and tell it often." Herding. Optimism Bias. Normalcy Bias. First stage of grieving is Denial. Stockholm Syndrome. The list goes on.
While most everyone here would scofff at terms like "white privilege" when it's bandied as an accusation by "people of color," but what about the ZH poster who emailed me to tell me about his large wealth and that he didn't have to work? I had nothing to say. Most all of the posting here is preaching to the choir. Instead of sitting back in the comfort of your "Imperial Privilege" and counting your thousands of silver ounces, get out and tell people what's happening. Just telling them about ZH as a source of news as an alternative to our state-run media is a start. A big start!
Last night I met a college student, Ugandan national on student visa, who had a genuine curiosity about my presence at meeting of college "social activists" mostly left-wing, of course. He's taking a Poli. Sci. class where the professor has the balls to tell the class that he self-identifies as an anarchist. An ongoing assignment in that class is to compare the coverage of events at U.S. media outlets like NYT to the coverage the same events get at PressTV and RT. Stuff like that makes a difference.
I think she has an ananonymouse in her pocket.
Yes people, wake up, before its too late. Thanks GW for keeping us alerted.
Fascism has been the New World Order ever since the stealth coup on 9/11/2001.
When the zombie masses realize they've been bamboozled, there will be decades of bloodshed until the state withers away as predicted by Karl Marx.
There's nowhere to go, and nowhere to hide, unless you're in the ruling class.
It's about time that people wake up and get angry at the REAL malefactors. The JPM twitter fiasco is sign that it may be starting to happen.
We've been killing millions of people all over the world. Hopefully they'll come and get revenge on us, for real this time (and not the nonsensical fairy tale of 19 arabs armed with box-cutters).
"Fascism has been the New World Order ever since the stealth coup on 9/11/2001."
Fascism has been the New World Order ever since the stealth coup on 12/23/1913.
