Senate Passes Obama's TPP Fast-Track Trade Proposal
Two days ago there was some rejoicing and much surprise when the "Warren-faction" of Senate liberals turned against Obama, and failed to vote for a fast-track approval of the TPP. That surprise lasted for about 48 hours when moments ago, in a 65-33 vote, the Senate finally advanced a measure allowing Obama to expedite approval of trade agreements, a bill with bipartisan support in that chamber which however according to Bloomberg may run into strong opposition from House Democrats.

The vote followed separate votes sought by Democrats to pass proposals curbing currency manipulation and boosting imports from sub-Saharan Africa. The Senate plans to consider amendments to the fast-track trade proposal next week.
As previously reported, a rebellion Tuesday among Senate Democrats seeking the currency provision previews what may be fiercer battle ahead between Democrats and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
“There’s a broad feeling we have to do something against China” on currency manipulation, New York Senator Charles Schumer, the chamber’s third-ranking Democrat, told reporters before the vote on advancing the trade bill. He called the currency measure “a shot across China’s bow that we’re not going to just sit there and do nothing.”
Bloomberg reports that the fast-track bill would allow Obama to submit trade agreements to Congress for an up-or-down vote without amendments. He hopes to complete a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership and send it for fast-track approval.
On Tuesday, Democrats blocked Republicans from advancing the fast-track bill without also voting on the currency measure. Many Democrats remain stung by the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, which is blamed by labor unions for a decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs.
The trade bill, H.R. 1314, would give Obama and the next president fast-track powers for six years.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said Thursday the agreement to separate the two measures from the broader trade bill was a sensible plan.
“I’d like to thank the president too,” McConnell said. “No, you’re not hearing things. President Obama has done his country a service by taking on his base and pushing back on some of the more ridiculous rhetoric we’ve heard.
And in other news, just as the TPP fast-track news hit, perpetual warmonger and neocon John McCain announced that as part of a $613.2 billion Defense Authorization Bill, approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee, the US just added funds for 12 more F/A-18 fighter jets. More importantly the Bill authorizes sending arms to Ukraine.
More details from Bloomberg:
Bill has $523b in base funding, $90.2b in war funds, Reed says.
Reed says he voted against bill on “off-budget gimmick” in which Republicans transferred extra funds from base budget to overseas contingency operations to avoid budget controls.
Amendment to eliminate war funding account rejected, cmte Chairman John McCain says.
Bill would preserve A-10 close-air combat plane; authorizes arms to Ukraine, McCain says.
Cmte approves more for F-35, F-18 fighters, McCain says; bill authorizes adding 6 F-35B fighters.
Bill requires approval of Guantanamo closing plan, he says. Presidential veto of bill would be “very serious step”: McCain.
In other words, since the Fed can't print trade, either the world will trade with the US voluntarily... or it will be forced to do so. And if that fails, there is always the Ukraine war escalation option.

It must be the curiosity. Now they can read it.
Cool! With TPP and net neutrality, I know that President Obama is really looking after me.

Really obobble can fast track trade agreements?
I doubt that very much, but I heard he can smoke a cigarette from his ass. True fucking story bitchezzzs....
Scum Fuck Fascist. Its going to be one Hell of a HOT JADE HELM summer.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Horseshit!
The squabbble was NOT about the merits of TPP but about pork barrell amendments... as usual.

I wipe my ass with those TPP-approving ass-lickers. Pitch forks and lampposts should start to be assembled. Lord, Help us all.
The dossier of goat fucker McCoooooooonal was passed around the table and we agreed to let Sorretto do what ever he wants.
It is critical to keep exporting inflation. If we started to have CPI going up, the Fed would "have" to raise rates, and the federal mafia, I mean government, can't withstand that.
How will we export inflation and sell govt debt without expanded free trade with slave wage nations? Gotta contain CPI or else the Fed would have to raise rates. Then how would Congress critters finance their pork?
Because of the TPP's sovereignty-forfeiting provisions, a legislator’s vote for it is treason.
It’s really that simple.

WTF? He can make a dick smoke IN his ass!
They may as well ban cash too. Get their downfall started early. Tired of those asshole.
This is how you know for certain who the real bosses are. The war on cash coupled with top secret trade agreements makes it pretty clear that the banks and corporations call all the shots and own almost every government around the world.
Not that we didn't already know that, but it's nice to see the proof so out in the open. I'd like to think this kind of stuff will force more people to wake up, but I doubt it'll happen. It's more comfortable to stay asleep with a pleasant dream than it is to wake up to the nightmare of the truth.
It seems TPTB are completely decoupling from the pretense that the plebs matter right before our eyes.

I've got a real bad feeling about this. I'm doing another bean run tomorrow.
Don't forget your 5 gallon Lowe's buckets, mylar bags, and oxygen eater packets. This shit has gone on much longer than expected and might last five or ten more.
Things won't change that fast, chunga. If ZH should have taught us anything, it's that the can can and will be kicked down the road ad infinitum. Will TPP fuck up the world? Most assuredly. Will the 'collapse' be sudden and imminent because of it? Most unlikely.
While the current TPP text contents are secret, and something may be published eventually for public CONsumption, the true damage will come out of the behind-the-scenes deals, and over time. It will take a good five to ten years for the effects to fully manifest.
It's a given that any trade deals will be bad. What bugs me is that both rank and file blue team and red team supporters have been screaming bloody murder against not only the secret TPP but also the need for fast tracking their secrets.
It's right over the top, in your face even by wAshington standards.
Respectfully disagree, Skate. This is going to come like a tsunami, like a thief in the night. It won't have anything to do with TPP, that is just to get our heart-rates up and send a message. Watch out for the last week in September. Have all your preps completed by then.
It just seems extra strange lately. The red team has been bashing away at hero torch carrier Limbaugh because while this has been going on he's been locked on deflated footballs. I haven't listened to him for a long time but you'd think this would be right up his alley. It's a morbid fascination of mine I to try to get a feel for what the teams supporters are thinking. (DU on the left and FR on the right)
It seems to me they've all been throwing fits calling and complaining hard. But it happened anyway.
We know they don't care, but this says they don't care that everybody knows they don't care, and they don't care about that either.
Wife and I have been joking about how crazy we are with this prep shit we have already...but I dunno. Don't forget the Texas governor claims to have state military prepared to watch this Jade Helm thing that starts in a couple months. It's probably moar tinfoil hat shit because nothing ever seems to happen, but someday it probably will.
Knew it for a long time. Can't change shit when in a herd of dumb sheep. You can warn them all you want. I'm so far done with neighbors thinking I'm a moonbat.
Just go with the flow. If be, a fight no one will win.

Thanx.,
Didn't make it all the way through but that gave us a chuckle which we desperately needed. Sitting here dazed. Can't rid the mind of Obamanauts who voted for him TWICE. Resisting the urge, so far, to start drinking heavily.
Whenever you get the urge to drink, reload a few hundred rounds instead......
And I thought we were screwed before. WOW.
Just plain ol' mind control. The headline will stick while the buried retraction will make no impact on sheeple consciousness.
When Obama and Mitch McConnell agree on something, you can bet it'll be awful.
Referencing the official federal government bill naming guidelines document, we can expect all trade agreements will slowly grind to a halt.
They are all blackmailed for allowing the Usurper Hussein Obama into the WH. Anything UnAmerican is what he, and so they, stand for. Congress will protect the knowledge of the treason committed at all cost, and so they aid in the Cloward Piven destruction of America at the behest of the NWO.
+10,000.
I believe they are operating on the premise that if the truth were to come out the whole system would come down. That is what Obama knows and uses. I also believe the leadership in both parties is either being blackmailed or is bought off.
People don't give a fuck about truth.
Ain't that the truth......

Looks like the psychpaths and sociopaths who call themselves government are going to pass this for their globalist elite masters. Just like a patent, it will mean nothing until they can enforce it, and that needs to be resisted in every way possible.
More and more people are recognizing that there is no solution for centralized government (aka: the state), except one. It must be allowed to self-destruct, and we should help it do so as quickly as possible to minimize the damage it will do to society. All the while, as many people as possible need to be educated about the fact that we don't need government beyond, maybe, the most local level to "secure these rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". On rare occasions, and only for the duration of the need, communities may form loose alliances to address a common enemy aggressor, with no centralized command or leader which could become the next tyrant.
The collapse will be extremely painful, but its unavoidable, and most of the people in North America are likely to perish, especially in urban areas, because of what the state has done to weaken society. The most damaging of its crimes against society was the confiscation and destruction of the people's medium of exchange. Without good money, supply chains will collapse for nearly everything. Central government will not be able to deny responsibility for this. If enough understand that centralized government is entirely to blame for all the of the misery that society is about to experience, and that the pain will NOT be due to the loss of the state, then society will be able to eventually prosper beyond our wildest dreams today, free from the monstrous central government parasites at all levels.
Your powerful comments include this most important indictment of all, of the central government:
The most damaging of its crimes against society was the confiscation and destruction of the people's medium of exchange.
This taking of the people's property and labor through establishment of fiat currency completely controlled by the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank is exactly the reason for the Fast Track vote. For this is whence the money comes to buy congressmen. Originating from the Fed, the prostitution payments filtered down through the Reserve banks to the major international banks and then to the coporations who profit from the trade piracy they plan for Third World countries and by the marginalization of US workers.
When a US corporation moves its facilities to Peru to pay perhaps $1 an hour for workers, then the American people have the United States Congress and their master, the Federal Reserve, to blame.
Why would the Congress vote to pass legislation without debate (Fast Track)? Because when you’re bought-off by the banker government, it is much easier to fool your constituents when you can lie about the reasons for voting yes on Fast Track when there’s no paper work debate to defend.
Fast Track is the road to revolution. To protect American jobs and the interests of middle class Americans and US taxpayers, millions of Americans will fight the transfer of America’s estates and wealth to multinational corporations that have no allegiance to the United States. Lt. Col (Retired) Allen West gave this warning:
No Fast Track for Obama's Next Power Grab
15 Oct 2013
President Obama is seeking power the Constitution has assigned to Congress. Soon, he will formally ask Congress to surrender its constitutional authority and grant him “Fast Track” Trade Promotion Authority.
And House Republicans are inexplicably ready to give it to him.
Members of Congress who take our Constitution seriously will follow Nancy Reagan’s advice and Just Say No.
Article One, Section 8 of the Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive responsibility to set the terms of “commerce with foreign nations” -- trade. The Founders established this clear check and balance to prevent the president from unilaterally negotiating deals that reward his supporters while harming opponents or the nation as a whole.
Under Fast Track, Obama would be able to sign commercial trade agreements before Congress votes on them. Congress would not even be able to amend the agreements in any way -- it would only have an up-or-down vote when the president says so, before members could even read it.
While Congress has delegated authority to presidents in the past, it was based on the premise that the legislative branch could trust the executive branch to respect Congress’ constitutional role. This administration has breached that trust.
From the abuse of executive orders, to recess appointments, to the stonewalling of congressional oversight on Fast and Furious, Benghazi, NSA, IRS intimidation, and other scandals, this administration has shown contempt for the constitutionally mandated co-equal role of the Congress.
Given this record, Congress must not cede its constitutional authority and instead reject President Obama’s request for “Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority.”
President Obama wants fast track power so he can conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an expansive system of global governance that would deal a mortal blow to American sovereignty and our Constitution.
Fast track overrides the Constitution once -- the Trans-Pacific Partnership overrides it forever.
TPP is billed a free trade agreement, but it is actually protectionism for Wall Street bailout banks, insurance and drug companies profiting off Obamacare, and the corporatists pushing open borders and amnesty under the rubric of “immigration reform.” The cronies with “access” in Washington are writing the deal while the rest of us are shut out.
TPP would subject the U.S. to the jurisdiction of foreign tribunals under the authority of the World Bank and United Nations. These unelected, unaccountable panels would constitute a judicial authority higher than the U.S. Supreme Court. They would have the power to overrule federal court rulings and order payment of U.S. tax dollars to enforce the special privileges granted to foreign firms that would be exempt from EPA and other regulations that strangle American firms.
U.S. Trade Representative Mike Froman and his predecessor have said TPP is not about trade between independent nations, but about “integrating our economies” under a flag of global government. The European Union superstate, a graveyard of sovereign nations, was originally sold to citizens as a plan for “integrating economies.”
All trade agreements come with predictions of new jobs for Americans, but those promises are always empty. Obama said our free-trade deal with Korea would be a major job creator, but after it went into effect, sales of U.S. goods fell and imports from Korea rose. When you hear someone say TPP will create jobs, hold on to your wallet.
Chinese companies are already investing heavily in Vietnam to gain duty-free access to the American market under TPP and destroy the textile, shrimp, and catfish industries in the Southeast, a region that voted against Obama.
We’re also told TPP shows our Asian allies we’re serious about confronting China. But it would actually weaken the U.S. As the Chinese People’s Liberation Army uses every means possible to infiltrate our command and control systems, TPP bans Buy American policies that require crucial equipment for our troops be produced in the U.S. We don’t need TPP to stop China’s military expansion - we need to tell the same crowd pushing TPP to stop transferring their capital and technology to that communist dictatorship.
The American-in-name-only insiders who get special treatment in Washington will say anything to put their gravy train on the fast track. It’s up to those who love liberty, the Constitution, and the United States of America to slam on the brakes and tell Congress to say no to Obama’s next power grab.

And all those idiots voted "Republican" thinking it meant anything...
I think the term "traitorous scum" aptly applies to those in congress who sell out both the people and our national sovereignty in return for the money they need to get elected.
If we had publicly financed elections where any citizen could run for office and equally make their case to the public we would end up with legislators who are obligated to the people rather than to multinational corporations. In that case, toxic shit like this would get absolutely zero votes.

You can always get democraps to vote with repubicans. Whatever happened to repubicans just saying NO to everything. Now they just gave Obama a feather for his cap. I'll bet that hacks there ass... but the campaign contribution is safe. God Bless America.

In the old days The Buck Stopped at the Top. But finger pointing is an art in the USSA.
I'm looking at old English Plans laid by Cecil Rhodes to Redraw the Map of the world with English Dominance... and I see Treaties such as TPP, NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, GATT, UN as International Deal Making, Power Sharing. 100 Years ago England & Russia redrew the Map in the Stans which they were fighting over. Then after the Ottoman Empire, the English Redrew the Map of the Middle East.
Today USA wants to Redraw the Lines on the Map of the ME again... along with East Europe.
TPP is a bigger Redrawing of the Lines of US Sovereignty, and breaking them down for Asian Powers, Wealth European Powers, and Corporations.
And this is what I think the United States is all about today.
Power Corrupts, Money Corrupts, Big Organizations Corrupt... and the Media and Big Corporations & Foundations are tools of those at the top. Just like the Federal Government.
- Persistence of Large Organizations and Large Budgets is always Ripe for both Plunder and "Capture" by Evil Actors
- Anti-Trust Law has to be Implemented to Break Up Large Corporations, Foundations, Federal Government Power, ... so that People form the Government and Banking, Credit, Government ANSWER to the People, the Common People, and having a Middle Class, Having Freedom & Equality, IS PRIME
- Tricking people into Debt or Desperation seems the Goal of Unregulated Banking, Financial Vultures, and Big Government
- Just because NEOCONs are Anglophiles who want to Redraw the Map of the World, doesn't mean it is a good Idea
Stop hiring lawyers to represent you.
Because they aren't.
True. Lawyers are Middle Men. In fact they make work for themselves when they are allowed to change the law or set a precedent.
Might as well classify their work as Non-GDP.
They are Rentiers. But mostly Actors or "Racketeering Actors".
We need to force the courts to set guidelines and Benchmarks so that court is fair to poor people that can't afford a legal team. First step is limit the number of Lawyers and the Number allowed on Legal Teams for the Wealthy. Then outlaw Paid Lobbyist and Lobby Money.
Don't hire parasites.
Selecting leadership by lottery every election cycle would help.
No really good solution to representative government.
Perhaps split the D's and R's into 4, creating two new parties?
Center right and left versus extreme right and left.
I'm for trying anything.
Sovereignty For International Investors (Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP))
Posted: 12 May 2015 03:34 AM PDT
Why the investor state dispute settlement panels in the Trans-Pacific Partnership are a Trojan horse for enriching multinationals and gutting national sovereignity.There's TPP and there's TPA. Fast track is TPA. What just passed the Senate is TPA. We've had TPA before. TPP isn't up yet. You should correct your headline. TPA is mostly harmless. TPP will be mostly harmful.
Nothing these bastards do is harmless........
Oligarchs have always passed immoral laws. Never kept them from getting their heads lopped off.
Maman (sculpture)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maman_%28sculpture%29
Maman (1999) is a bronze, stainless steel, and marble sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which depicts a spider, is among the world's largest, measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (927 x 891 x 1024 cm).[1] It includes a sac containing 26 marble eggs and its abdomen and thorax are made up of ribbed bronze. The title is the familiar French word for Mother. The sculpture was created in 1999 by Bourgeois as a part of her inaugural commission of The Unilever Series (2000), in the Turbine Hall at London's Tate Modern.[1] This original was created in steel, with an edition of six subsequent castings in bronze.[2]
cont.
If I were a senator or representative, I would not want my name attached to ANY anti-freedom bills in the US. These leaders are putting their names on a list that they will not be able to get off of.
Politicians get elected by promising the rich and poor that they will protect each of their interests, while protecting each group from the other.
If they aren't crooked when they enter politics, they soon become crooked.
Too late
This is about big money screwing middle America. Watch out.
The big money represents both corporate interests AND the government teat.
With so many on both sides of the aisle in agreement.......rest assured EVERYONE GETS FUCKED.
Trans-political partnership.
That guarantees that it will fuck the middle class, in the ass and mouth.

Like that Satanic salute from Obummer, nice one, double pump.
You still have to wonder why so many persons in the Senate and Congress have dual American / Israeli citizenship.. Well, you really don't have to wonder, you see now why.

Secret talk.
Secret treaty.
Secret law.
Secret court.
Secret judgement.
Secret penalty.
Secret payment.
Secret profit.
Secret power.
Secret owner.
So, what's knew anyway?
They vote against it the first time and then pass it the second time when their real masters make a few phone calls.
