Senator Slams Obamatrade: "They Won The Vote, But Lost The Trust Of The American People"
Senator Jeff Sessions will release this statement in response to Senate's vote to advance the fast-track trade bill:
Americans increasingly believe that their country isn’t serving its own citizens. They need look no further than a bipartisan vote of Congress that will transfer congressional power to the Executive Branch and, in turn, to a transnational Pacific Union and the global interests who will help write its rules.
The same routine plays out over and again. We are told a massive bill must be passed, all the business lobbyists and leaders tell how grand it will be, but that it must be rushed through before the voters spoil the plan. As with Obamacare and the Gang of Eight, the politicians meet with the consultants to craft the talking points—not based on what the bill actually does, but what they hope people will believe it does. And when ordinary Americans who never asked for the plan, who don’t want the plan, who want no part of the plan, resist, they are scorned, mocked, and heaped with condescension.
Washington broke arms and heads to get that 60th vote—not one to spare—to impose on the American people a plan which imperils their jobs, wages, and control over their own affairs. It is remarkable that so much energy has been expended on advancing the things Americans oppose, and preventing the things Americans want.
For instance: thousands of loyal Americans have been laid off and forced to train the foreign workers brought in to fill their jobs—at Disney, at Southern California Edison, across the country. Does Washington rush to their defense? No, the politicians and the lobbyists rush to move legislation that would double or triple the very program responsible for replacing them.
This ‘econometarian’ ideology holds that if a company can increase its bottom line - whether by insourcing foreign workers or outsourcing production - then it’s always a win, never a downside.

Oh ya then do it, do it now, stop talking about it...come get them.
The largest army on Earth (armed Americans) might have something to say about!

No worries you have the +8000 Tonnes of Gold to fall back on in fort Knox. Just get it audited 'cause a lot of tungsten shit is floating around.
There's a ton for every honest and moral politician. But, hey. You don't need tungsten, just some lead and gold spray paint.
Canny believe i got downed on this 8000 tonnes post. Is the figure higher than that?
BAH
Welcome to the plantation, where YOU'RE the crop. Plants don't get to vote. Now increase those yields!
Now we get to see what's been imposed in the name of "the flag" for many, many years. Simple and sweet, read Smedley Butler's War Is A Racket.
What gave anyone the idea they cared what the plebes think???
The key point Sessions’ makes is that the one function Congress seems to be making is to consistently transfer any power they have to another power other than the people. For Fast Track, the power goes first to the President but is quickly transferred to a transnational body and then, as Sessions might have said, to the international bankers.
For it is the bankers through the Fed’s partnership with government that provides the money for the corporate lobbyists to buy the congressmen they need for lining their pockets. As Sessions might have said, the Republican Party has a strong base that opposes exploding government and socialist programs such as Obamacare. However, it is the Republican majority in the House of Representatives for their so-called opposition to the welfare Democrats that authorized the payment of every single penny for Obamacare.
It is obvious that most all members of Congress are working for someone other than the American citizens. It’s encouraging to hear Jeff Sessions speak out and define why America has these huge devastating measures: Fast Track to take away American jobs and sovereignty and to enrich first, the multinational corporations, and, then, their owner, the banking cartel, and Obamacare, to force raw wealth transfer and socialism on a scale never before achieved by the Fascists.
How much longer can America survive without another American Revolution and the men who will lead it?
Keep in mind that politicians are known to speak out the sides of their mouths. Lots will vote for appearance of being "against" something when they KNOW that there's little risk of the legislation going down.
Meanwhile we have a standing army that is being paraded around the globe. Seems that this all went un-recoverably wrong a LONG time ago. Last time Congress actually voted to authorize war?
"Control" always increases as resources get tighter. Ruling elite need to push out the little people in order to maintain their own "share." Of course, this never corrects, always leads to collapse...
The Spartans did something interesting with some of their officials. I forgot what the office was called, but whomever held it, held it for a year, and regardless of how well they did their job, they were put on trial for their deeds when their terms were up. Can you imagine putting every single president and every single congresscritter on trial after their terms were up, with all laid bare?
Where is the goddamned TEA PARTY when you need them?
They'll sign off on the next shitty bill too!
They lost the trust of the American people, and for that matter, most of the rest of the world years ago. Something like this just makes the people paying attention clean their guns again and buy more ammo.
The huge crowds at your local shooting ranges are mostly practicing combat style shooting and precision rifle skills.
They aren't there to practice duck hunting.
Most armed Americans I know maintain rifles with about double the muzzle energy of any 7.62x39 or 5.56.
Great! Exactly what we need, more folks who are experienced in killing than in providing for the fundamentals... When the System comes for us it'll already have lost; fighting it will then only be a waste of precious energy. Step aside and watch it fall flat: show resistance and it just clamps down harder- while that may expedite things it may also expedite one's end, and, the last I checked one only has a single life. But, by all means go ahead and be a martyr if that's what your aim in life is...
Good. Their long distance services gladly needed.
Jeff Sessions is a good man. Alabama. And AL is not what it used to be. That is for sure.
There was a time that Alabama folks didn't have to worry about racial crime, just going about their business. That has changed.
As the TPP and its ancillary, the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). This allows UNLIMITED immigration into America from 3rd world countries.

All the Senators and Reps who voted for this monstrousity should be tried for treason, because that's what it is. I savor the day.
The only reason this was rushed through was to stay ahead of the leaks of the bill's content, because "if they know what's in it, it won't pass".
AND the contents of the bills STAY secret for 4 years!
Reminder, it's a crime to overthrow or try to overthrow or help anyone overthrow the US government.
So don't get caught.
I haven't met anyone that trusts the government in the last 10 years. What the hell is he talking about.
You need to get a hold of a ticket to The Club! Lots of folks there place their trust in govt!
That would be ALL of the republicans. The true patriots are Democrats. Don't believe me? Check the yea's versus nay's on the TPP bill. It is lovely to see dumfuck republicans' logic blow up in their faces.
Enough with the stupid Party Pussy shit! As I noted above, it's common practice to show a "counter" vote when one knows that the legislation will pass. And, stop fucking voting (legitimizing all of this)!
They were only protecting the scumbag unions. Not you.
I lost any trust, faith and respect I had for the gov't. authorities after we started our endless war for endless peace post 9/11. Vietnam and Central America were pretty fucked up too. the more I learned, the more disgusted I became. Reality didn't match the rhetoric. I was a naif, a 28 year-old boy.
I never thought 1984 would come true, or we would have a black president. Funny thing is, I figured once we had a black president, the er, teens would lose their shit. And they have. Our politician-traitor-whores, if they were set on fire I wouldn't stop to piss on them to put them out.
In an unusual outburst of candor Rep. Peter Defazio asks, "Why do we need TAA?"

TTP = the fast track to serfdom
The constitution" CONSTITUTES" the federal gov-why can't you cowardly ninnies get this one salient fact through your thick drug-addled skulls?
Senator Sessions--leave the Republican party and give Alabama residents a choice not an echo
We will still not know what is in the bill for 5 years after it is passed.
But..
I am sure that if china looses a large judgment for an unhealthy or dangerous product, that US litigants will never collect anything.
China's not a party to this corporate treaty, so the only recourse would be to traditional courts. They are too smart to hand over their sovereignty to corporate money interests.
Can the serfs read the bill now, so we know how much more fucked we'll be?
When everyone doesn't purchase through the new TPP guidelines, trade advancement will crumble like a handful of dried leaves.
I wish we had a president like Jeff Sessions.
The SCUM that the REPUKES are is almost ...
GOP House Leadership Purges Republicans Who Voted Against Obamatrade—And They’re All Immigration Patriots
Obamatrade Passes Republican House–Will Walker Pay The Price?
Jeff Sessions...I wonder how it will be before he gets "outed", just like all the other pasty-faced, loud-mouthed, Bible-waving, hate-mongering Republicans with a taste for young white boys. One look at this guy and you can tell...he knows his way around a sausage. He's a chicken-hawk alright, right along with Ted Stevens, Dennis Hastert, Lindsey Graham and Karl Rove. Yeah, they've all got that look, pipe monsters on the sly.
Bullshit. But he might get "Wellstoned" if he isn't careful, likely why he isn't running for President.
The TPP is also a way to ensure that the U.S. Dollar remains the world's reserve currency. I can guarantee that all the signatory nations that are part of the so-called trade deal will be required to use the Dollar for all trade transactions.
So, in the end, it's not only a form of fascist corporate control. It also blocks China from making its currency the reserve currency. The TPP basically neuters the BRICS nations, blocking them from gaining any significant amount of power.
They have not had the trust of the American people for a long time and do not need it if we don't push back. REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE, TAXATION AND WELFARE TO BENEFIT STATE GOVERNMENTS, PEOPLE, BUSINESSES and everybody but extortionists. 50 State governors states will no longer be required to pay for healthcare or welfare the money saved can be used for road improvements or anything else states want. President Obama and legislators mistakenly would not permit "government's unfair low cost advantages" to be used to compete against private insurers and providers when the 2000 page Obamacare legislation was passed. This policy must be changed. American ingenuity and government’s low cost advantages used honestly will save lives, money, the economy and freedom by repealing legislation that has gone terribly wrong and replacing it with fair, compassionate and fiscally responsible reforms. Here is what we can have as fast as Wall Street and the banks were bailed out. HEALTHCARE, TAXATION AND WELFARE TO BENEFIT STATES, PEOPLE, BUSINESSES and everybody but extortionists. 1. Businesses no taxes period. 2. Businesses no costs or involvement with healthcare or welfare. 3. 50 State governors state's no costs or involvement with healthcare or welfare. 4. Free government healthcare choice nationwide in 2016 by purchasing hospitals for conversion to free care. 5. Individuals no health insurance purchases required. 6. IRS and all federal taxes abolished states can also switch to Fair Tax style HR 25. sales tax collections only for all revenue requirements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax 7. Monthly FairTax Prebate payments for tax fairness.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax 8. Weekly UBI unconditional basic income payments. 9. UBI and free healthcare availability will end poverty immediately for US citizens President Obama and 535 Democrats and Republicans could unite to limit governments, intrusiveness, size and expenditures to slash taxes and compliance costs by $trillions annually and they could pass these laws now before the 2016 elections: amiably or under unprecedented pressure (call an emergency session like the financial bail outs if necessary for expediency). Millions of offshore jobs could be brought home and starting and operating new or existing businesses in the US will be simpler and more profitable and there will be more jobs in the US than ever before in our history and it will happen very quickly. REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMA CARE now to add a FREE GOVERNMENT OPTION to compete for patients. Sales taxes collected from 50million tourists and everyone shopping in the US will pay for operating the new free government healthcare system. Free government healthcare as an option competing for patients could be added for patients to choose from by passing the law now to repeal and replace and correct the mistakes of Obama Care. Everyone in the United States will have access to far superior healthcare and payment options than is being provided today. HEALTHCARE CHOICES 1. Use your own money to purchase healthcare from zillions of non government systems that are in business today all over the country to sell you endless health insurance and care services. 2. Use free government healthcare by going to any government hospital. Everyone in the US regardless of their citizenship or financial status, rich or poor, citizen or non-citizens, may choose to receive free care at government hospitals; no insurance purchases required, no copays, no restrictions because of preexisting medical conditions just ask at any government hospital and care will be provided for you and it will be free period! FREE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE OPTION 1. Government care will provide all inclusive birth to death healthcare including, primary, inpatient, outpatient, weight loss, substance abuse, psychiatric, long term elderly, extended nursing home care, free medications, dental, eye care, glasses hearing aids, and all medical devices. 2. No one in the US will ever again be forced to go without healthcare or medications nor will any individual, business, or government at any level ever be without choices to avoid bankruptcy or lack of care or medications because of healthcare costs or availability. 3. Americas Veterans Administration Hospitals using governments low cost advantages and evidenced based care meaning (prevention programs to keep you healthy) and (if you get sick or injured the VA does whatever it takes to make you well). The VA has been producing better patient outcomes for years than any other providers at any cost and the VA's operational costs are a mere fraction of what todays healthcare industry is charging patients, businesses and taxpayers for insurance and care. Mix and match, use only free government care or purchase whatever insurance or care you want to buy or you may choose to never use either system. Patients, businesses and taxpayers will save $1trillion annually off of the $3.8trillion spent last year for healthcare. REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE 1. Individuals will no longer be forced to purchase insurance. 2. Businesses will no longer be required to pay for or be involved with healthcare in any way. 3. 50 State governors state's will no longer be required to pay for or be involved with healthcare in anyway. 4. States can use the money saved to pay for roads, bridges or anything they want. Patients will be able to go back and forth between free government care or non government pay for care hospitals and insurance companies. Americas VA has been operating the largest, lowest cost, best patient outcome producing health care system at any cost in the US for years. FREE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE BY YEAR END 2015? Quickly Repeal and Replace Obama Care in this 2015 legislative session, (call an emergency session like the financial bail outs if necessary for expediency), with a 100 page simple straightforward government healthcare law that anyone can read and understand. This can be done quickly if President Obama and other prominent Democrats and Republicans unite. $500 billion of Treasury and Federal Reserve funding, like that used to bail out the banks and Wall Street, could be used to purchase about 30% of the existing public and private healthcare companies from willing sellers to quickly form the new government single payor healthcare option for patients to use nationwide by year end 2015. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Kizer VA links http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0501.longman.html http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2007/0710.longman.html http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal -a/2014_06/va_care_still_the_best_care_an050598.phpa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax TAXATION REFORM switch to the FAIR TAX HR 25 Abolish the IRS and all federal taxes and hopefully all state taxation systems will also be switched to sales tax only collections to be revenue-neutral with their current collections systems. The Fair Tax Act of 2015 HR25 will abolish the Internal Revenue Service and end all federal personal income taxes, all corporate income taxes, all payroll taxes, all self-employment taxes, including social security taxes, all capital-gains taxes all inheritance, estate and all gift taxes and replace everything with a single revenue-neutral personal consumption sales tax on all retail sales of new goods and services. Efficient, painless and non intrusive sales tax collections at the cash register when you buy stuff will provide the same amount of money to continue to pay government's bills. Social security will continue to pay the same benefits. Existing hidden value added taxes, ( 20plus%), that we pay today on everything we buy will be abolished. Workers will be able to keep all of their wages. No more forms to fill out, no more withholding, no taxes will be collected on used purchases and everyone in the US with a social security number can receive a standardized monthly “Prebate Check” for offsetting sales taxes paid up to the poverty level. Fair Tax HR25 links https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr25/text http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax REPEAL ALL WELFARE PROGRAMS AND switch to UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME weekly payments for everyone with a social security number. UBI payments are like getting money from a grandmother who loves you very much, based on a value of 120% of the poverty level, sufficient to purchase food, shelter, education or basic needs but the money can be spent anyway you want to. UBI PAYMENTS & FREE HEALTHCARE availability will END stone cold POVERTY instantly for all US citizens. UBI payments will flood the entire country every week with money for consumers to spend. Eliminating all welfare programs will knock $trillions off of taxpayer and businesses compliance costs while giving more money directly for people to spend their way. Poverty programs that have been paying bureaucrats $trillions since the 60s, and forcing taxpayers to be on the hook to pay their retirement pensions for decades more for telling poor people how to live have not ended poverty. Hi-tech innovation and common sense to just send standardized UBI payments to everybody along with the availability of free government healthcare will immediately end poverty in the US and eliminate hundreds of $billions of government payroll and pension costs annually. Three simple laws that everyone will be able to read and understand will replace truck loads of regulations that have been treating most people very badly. 1. REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE add a FREE VA style GOVERNMENT OPTION for everybody wanting it; paid for by sales taxes save a $trillion from $3.8T yr. 2. ABOLISH the IRS and ALL FEDERAL TAXES replace with FAIR TAX HR25 sales taxes only and hopefully states will do the same. Save $trillions tax & compliance cost yearly. 3. REPEAL ALL WELFARE PROGRAMS AND switch to UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME weekly payments for everyone with a social security number. UBI payments are like getting money from a grandmother who loves you very much, equal to 120% of the poverty level, sufficient to purchase food, shelter, education or basic needs but the money can be spent anyway you want to. Save $hundreds billions yearly. 4. UBI PAYMENTS & FREE HEALTHCARE availability will end POVERTY instantly. GOOD FOR STATES, PEOPLE, BUSINESSES and everybody but extortionists.
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy."
Carroll Quigley, member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), mentor to Bill Clinton, quote from “Tragedy and Hope”, 1966
Enforcement of state rules & regulations depends on a willing & able bureaucracy--millions of bureaucrats who support what the state does--not so much because they respect the state but because the state gives them the power to collect taxes and live well off the proceeds. The bureaucratic functionaries of U.S government are tightly organized in thousands of Big Labor union shops--closed shops staffed by bureaucrats whose first & foremost allegiance is to the the labor union that protects them in their tyrannous oppression of all who are not party to their grotesque system of state-supported bribes & payoffs.
