The Trans-Pacific Partnership: Permanently Locking In The Obama Agenda For 40% Of The Global Economy

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Snyder of End of the American Dream

We have just witnessed one of the most significant steps toward a one world economic system that we have ever seen.  Negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership have been completed, and if approved it will create the largest trading bloc on the planet.  But this is not just a trade agreement.  In this treaty, Barack Obama has thrown in all sorts of things that he never would have been able to get through Congress otherwise.  And once this treaty is approved, it will be exceedingly difficult to ever make changes to it.  So essentially what is happening is that the Obama agenda is being permanently locked in for 40 percent of the global economy.

The United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam all intend to sign on to this insidious plan.  Collectively, these nations have a total population of about 800 million people and a combined GDP of approximately 28 trillion dollars.

Of course Barack Obama is assuring all of us that this treaty is going to be wonderful for everyone

In hailing the agreement, Obama said, “Congress and the American people will have months to read every word” before he signs the deal that he described as a win for all sides.

 

“If we can get this agreement to my desk, then we can help our businesses sell more Made in America goods and services around the world, and we can help more American workers compete and win,” Obama said.

Sadly, just like with every other “free trade” agreement that the U.S. has entered into since World War II, the exact opposite is what will actually happen.  Our trade deficit will get even larger, and we will see even more jobs and even more businesses go overseas.

But the mainstream media will never tell you this.  Instead, they are just falling all over themselves as they heap praise on this new trade pact.  Just check out a couple of the headlines that we saw on Monday…

Overseas it is a different story.  Many journalists over there fully recognize that this treaty greatly benefits many of the big corporations that played a key role in drafting it.  For example, the following comes from a newspaper in Thailand

You will hear much about the importance of the TPP for “free trade”.

 

The reality is that this is an agreement to manage its members’ trade and investment relations — and to do so on behalf of each country’s most powerful business lobbies.

These sentiments were echoed in a piece that Zero Hedge posted on Monday

Packaged as a gift to the American people that will renew industry and make us more competitive, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is a Trojan horse. It’s a coup by multinational corporations who want global subservience to their agenda. Buyer beware. Citizens beware.

The gigantic corporations that dominate our economy don’t care about the little guy.  If they can save a few cents on the manufacturing of an item by moving production to Timbuktu they will do it.

Over the past couple of decades, the United States has lost tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities and millions of good paying jobs due to these “free trade agreements”.  As we merge our economy with the economies of nations where it is legal to pay slave labor wages, it is inevitable that corporations will shift jobs to places where labor is much cheaper.  Our economic infrastructure is being absolutely eviscerated in the process, and very few of our politicians seem to care.

Once upon a time, the city of Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city on the planet and it had the highest per capita income in the entire nation.  But today it is a rotting, decaying hellhole that the rest of the world laughs at.  What has happened to the city of Detroit is happening to the entire nation as a whole, but our politicians just keep pushing us even farther down the road to oblivion.

Just consider what has happened since NAFTA was implemented.  In the year before NAFTA was approved, the United States actually had a trade surplus with Mexico and our trade deficit with Canada was only 29.6 billion dollars.  But now things are very different.  In one recent year, the U.S. had a combined trade deficit with Mexico and Canada of 177 billion dollars.

And these trade deficits are not just numbers.  They represent real jobs that are being lost.  It has been estimated that the U.S. economy loses approximately 9,000 jobs for every 1 billion dollars of goods that are imported from overseas, and one professor has estimated that cutting our trade deficit in half would create 5 million more jobs in the United States.

Just yesterday, I wrote about how there are 102.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now.  Once upon a time, if you were honest, dependable and hard working it was easy to get a good paying job in this country.  But now things are completely different.

Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, only about 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.

Why aren’t more people alarmed by numbers like this?

And of course the Trans-Pacific Partnership is not just about “free trade”.  In one of my previous articles, I explained that Obama is using this as an opportunity to permanently impose much of his agenda on a large portion of the globe…

It is basically a gigantic end run around Congress.  Thanks to leaks, we have learned that so many of the things that Obama has deeply wanted for years are in this treaty.  If adopted, this treaty will fundamentally change our laws regarding Internet freedom, healthcare, copyright and patent protection, food safety, environmental standards, civil liberties and so much more.  This treaty includes many of the rules that alarmed Internet activists so much when SOPA was being debated, it would essentially ban all “Buy American” laws, it would give Wall Street banks much more freedom to trade risky derivatives and it would force even more domestic manufacturing offshore.

The Republicans in Congress foolishly gave Obama fast track negotiating authority, and so Congress will not be able to change this treaty in any way.  They will only have the opportunity for an up or down vote.

I would love to see Congress reject this deal, but we all know that is extremely unlikely to happen.  When big votes like this come up, immense pressure is put on key politicians.  Yes, there are a few members of Congress that still have backbones, but most of them are absolutely spineless.  When push comes to shove, the globalist agenda always seems to advance.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media will be telling the American people about all of the wonderful things that this new treaty will do for them.  You would think that after how badly past "free trade" treaties have turned out that we would learn something, but somehow that never seems to happen.

The agenda of the globalists is moving forward, and very few Americans seem to care.

First of all, because NAFTA means jobs.  American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe  that, I wouldn't support this agreement.

Obama Agenda?

Someone doesn't know how the world works.

It is the Debt-Money Monopolist agenda.

Read Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope

Read Zbigniew Brzezinski's Between Two Ages

Realize that 911 narrative is a beyond all reasonable doubt false narrative...

Adventures in the Trivium - Sir Isaac Newton Weighs in on the World Trade Center North Tower Collapse Official Narrative

http://www.weaponsofmassdebt.com/index.php/blog/aitt-sir-isaac-newton-we...

Realize that debt-based money is a prima facie fraud provable using applied 5th grade math...

Debt-Money Monopolists lend $20 to society at 5% interest, $21 is owed after one year due to double-entry bookkeeping adjustments that add $1 interest liability to society's balance sheet and $1 interest asset to the Debt-Money Monopoly's banking corporate front's balance sheet.

$20 can't pay off $21 in debt, AND THE DEBT-MONEY MONOPOLISTS AREN'T GOING TO GIVE SOCIETY ACCESS TO THE $1 REQUIRED TO MAKE THE DEBT EXTINGUISHABLE, MUPPETS!

“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.”
? Napoléon Bonaparte

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.... The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debt.”
~Henry Ford

And Paul Krugman knows the debt-based monetary is a fraud that needs to be kept from the people... He's not dumb, but he hopes his readers and viewers are dumb!

it is NOT "The Jews," people. It is the Debt-Money Monopolists (some of whom are Jewish, some of whom are not Jewish. Blaming a Jewish person who has no clue how the monetary system is screwing them over, along with the rest of us, is a very pleasing outcome to the Debt-Money Monopolists. That's why they program that narrative into their Debt-Money Matrix).

Hitler was punked by the Debt-Money Monopoly because he gladly did business with Debt-Money Monopolists that weren't Jewish - like the Rockefellers, the Harriman brothers, and the Debt-Money Monopolist corporate front IBM. IBM was responsible for tracking the numbered concentration camp victims in Germany. I heard they took very good care of their machines via their monthly maintenance schedule.

Oh, Rockefeller engineered operant conditioning schools didn't teach that little piece of information.

Imagine that!

If any politician actually cared about America, they would recognize that access to the American market, the most important market in the world, should not be free. 

If China, Japan, or Mexico want to have free access to the American market, let them build plants in America.

The all-important question you have to ask, that no one but China and Russia will be paying attention to, is:

"What currency will be used to settle the international Balance of Trade?"
Let me guess: the USD.

This would front-run any attempts by China to dethrone King Dollar. If China had thought things through better, they would have backed their currency with gold, but it's too late for them now. Especially since their Oligarchs are moving gold from the PBOC to private banks and private hands.

where does this 40% number come from ?

what i see are mostly basic resource producers who in many cases are mid to high cost producers - Australia / Peru /Chile

the only serious manufacturer is Japan - the rest including USA are on the downside end of the curve on momentum and marginal costs for manufacturing.

someone should measure the GNP respectively for primary resource exporters / manufacturers / service providers / consumer oriented GNP etc

I think the impact will be far different than promoted - as marginal cost producers move elsewhere

example: US as Shale producer in case of sub $50 / Bbl for say 10 years is off the air as producer, Canada as well for tar sands  and many other places as well - so why count these revenues in 40% GNP going forward?

 

demand in US is downward momentum where else is that true?

It might be a blowing sound of all things USA deflating down (in USD terms) to what they are actually worth when compared to the rest of the world. For example, a GM assembly line worker will make what an assembly line worker in Vietnam makes.

This will, of course, panic Old Yellen, who will promptly fill her diaper and begin subsidizing wages with Quantitative Pleasing (QP1).

Dont Worry.  They all just want access to the America Consumer.  This will give the American Consumer many more choices in the marketplace. Free trade benefits all parties - Americans will get access to low cost consumer goods, and countries will get unfettered access to the American market - A Win Win!  Those that are afraid of competition in the marketplace probably don't have any place in it.  Creative destruction, where winning is rewarded and losers and bad decisions are punished are the hallmark of the free market.  Except for the banking sector, of course.  Losses there may have systemic impacts.  And the auto manufacturing sector.  America is a car manufacturing nation - we invented the car for goodness sake! That would be bad for consumer sentiment.  Wealth from the bankign sector and the auto sector will trickle down to the rest of the economy for the benefit of all!

Wouldn't doubt the TPP will ban product origin labeling so you won't know where it comes from in the future.

Germas in Berlin have little allotments whre they grow veggies, and in Serbia many people do too. You end up eating better food and saving money. Here in Japan Isee lots of stuff with a Made in Japan label - like nail clippers I was buying a couple of days ago. Japanese are proud of their work - it's cultural they have a word for it - Monozukuri (gift fr making things)

let's be clear, unlike this article....the tpp was never approved as a treaty and never wiil be or it would have taken a 2/3's vote of the senate. this was another end run of the senate treaty provisions of the constitution worked out by the traitors in congress using senate committee rules and other tricks..you will never see this ever approved by 2/3's vote of the senate as treaties are required to be.

no, they voted on whether a 50% +1 vote passes it in the senate instead of 2/3's vote. check it out. that's why they broke it up into pieces to ram it through without the 2/3's requirement using senate committee rules and house sellouts like boehner

the tpa was voted on in the senate which changed the rules to a 50% +1 vote which sent the tpa to the house which was what secured the 50% +1 vote when they voted for it on 6-18-15. coincidentally the day after the charleston church shooting (6-17-15) that had the media covering that instead of the tpa. another coincidence, need a distraction, create a distraction. i had my congressman so flustered his office actually called me, probably to turn me in to dhs after reading my emails to him (just the facts and no threats).

 

there will be no 2/3's vote in the senate to approve this, it will be 50% +1 vote (biden if neccessary)

TiSA—A Cheap Labor Giveaway, Negotiated While You Weren’t Looking

While the Main Stream Media celebrates the “progressive” triumph of gay marriage and the war on the Confederate flag, the Obama Administration is quietly putting together a breathtakingly regressive corporate giveaway as part of the new international Trade in Services Agreement [TiSA]. TiSA, currently being negotiated alongside the infamous Trans Pacific Partnership, represents nothing less than a new way for the economic elite to replace American workers. But that’s not a huge departure, merely an international ratification of the Obama Regime’s continuing Administrative Amnesty.

Specifically, TiSA changes (and essentially eliminates) the restrictions that prevent companies from importing foreign workers to replace Americans through certain visa programs. To quote our frenemies at the Economic Policy Institute:

Proposed draft Article 5, Section 1 then requires that “Each Party shall take market access and national treatment commitments for intra-corporate transferees, business visitors and categories delinked from commercial presence: contractual service suppliers and independent professionals.”

Section 3 gets more specific about the sectors of the economy where member states will have to allow access to intra-corporate transferees, business visitors, contractual service suppliers, and independent professionals…

EPI Identifies Poisonous Immigration Acceleration Ingredients In Trade Agreement

Since the GOP leadership proposing to try again next week this essay is imperative reading for Immigration Patriots.

The authors point out that the poisoned chalice is not the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) (about which assurances that immigration is not effected have been given) but something called the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) about which there has been silence.

…there is little doubt that it will constrain the future ability of the United States Congress to regulate U.S. immigration policy. In fact, deregulating the U.S. work visa system, and therefore opening it up to foreign corporations that provide services (as opposed to goods) is the explicit purpose of an entire annex (section) in TiSA, entitled “Movement of Natural Persons.” The text was heretofore secret until Wikileaks published it on its website last week.

The proposals include elements which would

…prohibit member states from “maintain[ing] or adopt[ing] Economic Needs Tests, including labor market tests, as a requirement for a visa or work permit” in the sectors where commitments are made. (In other words, U.S. laws or regulations limiting guestworkers only to jobs where no U.S. workers were available would violate the terms of the treaty.)

They conclude

TiSA has been written in secret by and for major corporations that will benefit greatly if it becomes law. If the House of Representatives grants the Obama administration the fast-track trade promotion authority it seeks, the authority will be valid for six years, which means TiSA (like TPP) would also get an up-or-down vote in Congress without any amendments—making it very likely to pass and become law without the necessary democratic deliberations on immigration that such major changes should have. The leaked TiSA text makes it clear that contrary to the claims by proponents of fast-track trade promotion authority, the reality is that those voting for fast track are ceding key powers to make immigration law and policy to an unelected group of corporations and foreign governments.

They are absolutely right. This Fast Track legislation is designed to smuggle in the Immigration Acceleration aspect of the Gang of 8 Bill. That is why President Obama wants it.

The TPP Managed Trade Deal And The Danger Of Informal Immigration Promises: More Evidence
By Peter Brimelow, former Editor, Forbes Magazine on May 19, 2015, 11:45 pm
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:"the Senate will finish its work on trade this week" whatever the voters want.

Fresh from throwing the fight against Obama’s Executive Amnesty and voting for Amnesty-supporting AG Loretta Lynch, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indeed ridden to the rescue of the Trans Pacific Partnership managed trade deal: McConnell vows to pass trade bill, by Vicki Needham and Jordain Carney, The Hill, May 18, 2015.

Recently, I recounted in Fast-Tracking TPP, The Danger Of Informal Immigration Deals, And The Need For Treason Trials how in 1990-91 an advisor to British Prime Minister Thatcher expressed astonishment to me that Bush aides had casually told him they had informally promised the Mexicans that the U.S. would tolerate increased illegal immigration to accommodate the Mexican farm laborers who would be thrown off the land if Mexico gave up its corn price supports under the North American Free Trade Agreement, which U.S. agribusiness demanded. Of course, this was diametrically opposed to what credulous GOP voters were being told by the Wall Street Journal Editorial page etc.: that free trade would reduce illegal immigration, because it would boost Mexico’s economy.
Here’s more reason to be suspicious, which I meant to add to my original post. For some reason, a Leftist site called Campaign For America’s Future has kindly put me on its email list. On December 10 last year, it posted Immigrant Groups Warn Fast Track/TPP Could Cause More Migration North by Dave Johnson

First, let go of identifying this as "Obama's" agenda.  It's the agenda of the giant multinational corporations, WHICH THEY HIRED HIM to push through.  He's the tool, not the creator.  Failure to recognize this makes you vulnerable to the next agenda pushed by the same Powers That Be as soon as they change their tool.  Don't be a fool.  Ignore the tools; concentrate on the users.

Second, as bad as this is, it too will pass.  The TPP represents the attempt of U.S. oligarchs to maintain economic hegemony over the world in the face of China's rise.  It will work only as long as the U.S. remains sufficiently dominant that it's worth backing the U.S. rather than China.  How long will that be?  Twenty years at the outside.  College students today will be a decade younger than I am when it all falls apart.

So either Congress passes it, in which case the deal is implemented and maybe survives intact for a decade, while the costs gradually strangle the U.S. and therefore make participation against the national interests of our "trade partners" who can negotiate better deals with China.  Or else Congress doesn't pass it, thereby making the strains in our national body politic more visible and setting the stage for the next small rebellion on the way to throwing off the yoke of solitary nationhood.  Either way, we've reached the point on the road to dissolution that any ambitious undertaking on the part of Our Fearless Masters will speed us on the way, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.  So rejoice!  Any serious attempt on the part of the Powers That Be to increase their power, will place additional strain on their overtaxed resources and hasten their collapse. 

THEY CAN'T WIN; THEY CAN ONLY BREAK EVEN.

THEY CAN ONLY BREAK EVEN IF THEY ACCEPT ZERO GROWTH.

THEY CANNOT ACCEPT ZERO GROWTH.

In the end, they lose.  Keep your powder dry until you find a target of opportunity.

He's (i.e. Obama/The President) the tool, not the creator. 

Exactly! This has been going on at least since JFK was killed for daring to stand up to; the likes of the One Bank (printing Silver Certificates outside the Federal Reserve system), the military\industrial complex (talking about getting the USA out of Vietnam/SE Asia) and the alphabet agencies like the CIA ("I will break the CIA into a thousand pieces") and FBI (talking about firing Hoover). 

People that don't accept as a simple fact that there is a group of super-powerfull people calling all of the shots in the US government, and none are/were elected (and many are not even US citizens), need to get their heads out of their asses . . . .

If American workers are going to win, someone else has to lose.  Why would anyone sign that?  This is just all corporate bullshit, worker concerns are at the bottom of the list, if they are even on it.

"Worker concerns"!!  HA!  I had a good laugh reading that.  Those words probably never came up once.

Its time to tell it like it is. Obama is a self hating mulatto who grew up with a high IQ and no self esteem or family. Neither Black Nor White but appearing Black he had to prove to his prospecitve wife's family that he was indeed Black. After spending time as a "community organizer" he found out that the Black Ghettos problems and low IQ there meant that he could never relate to them or either "tribe" but at least the Black community would support him if he entered public office because if a "tribe" will elect Marion Berry mayor of Washington DC, a convicted coke head and then re elect him along with Al Sharpton then it was clear where his chances were.

Once elected the only way to "get back" at his no account father and the USA who basically asked him to leave America and his job due to being a notorious womanizer, was to change the demographics in America to make Whites the minority and like Chavez did in Venezuela appeal to the lowest common denominator get elected and start changing America into the Socialist international Hell that the TPP will accomplish. The goal is the end of America once and for all as we know it. The upcoming election is the last stand for America. Write your congressmen and tell them to vote NO on TPP.

Everyone claims Obama is intelligent. Just listen to this retarded motherfucker attempt to make a single intelligent statement without reading it from a cue card.

He is not intelligent. Do people believe an actor reading a script is smart?

So good for him he is the bestest reader we have ever had as POTUS.

He would be unable to attain anything higher than first level management in any competive employment situation. Unless he was the answer to an AA problem. Then higher but not as a result of ability.

Empty suit. He would make an excellent federal goverment employee.

Unfortunately, his lack of intelligence alone is not what makes him so dangerous.

Luckily or unluckily, I am a third generation American Citizen. I follow the rules, pay my taxes, do what I can in community, and am a grandfather of five.  From what I'm reading here, I am seeing a last ditch effort of the Buyback Corporations to save themselves by importing "do all" wage slaves, who answer only to them, who then suck up to the Federal Government for benefits and welfare, using our taxes and deficites, with no gain to our society, because they are immigrants, and then take my grandkids entirely out of the future employment loop. So this is how America wants to get along in the new world of Corporate Elitists. Fastrack is not a legal doctrine. Secret documents do not exist legally unless they are in the National Security venue. Any Congressman or Senator who votes for this bills passage is Treasoness to the American People. This horseshit of reading the bill after it's passed to see what's in it, well, whatever it is that is in it, is not for the American People. It's for TPTB. Ain't that GREAT? Asleep we are as a nation, there has got to be someone out there with balls enough to say this is unmitigated bullshit. Encourage your family and your friends to WRITE or CALL these people who ARE not representing "We the People". And if they toss us under the bus now, in 2 or 3 years, we'll know who.

TPP`Globlization = Vulture Capitalsm = Imperialist Hegemony = Deregulation <free trade / gypsy capital & unrestricted capital flow> = Disaster for EMs Redux via Asian Financial Crisis [1997-99?]

Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Phippines, Brazil, Russia, and Mexico etel.???

The above asian-mini tigers will never forget the  the post paralysis imposed by a dysfunction 'Bretton Woods' that lost its identity [CRISIS] in 1971, and became americas' bitch via our US Treasury!?!  (where's Rubin and Summers? not to forget mentioning the maestro [POS] Greenspan???)

So do you think they'll be hoodwinked again for America's exceptiona?isting 'democratic model' of feudalism? We'll soon find out!

'Leveling the Playing Field?'   TPP? Landmark Deal Fight not in USSA but perhaps by China???

Please realize that the USSA plans from the get`go were to bring these naive nascent`asian tigers into 'Asian-Pivot' stratagem without a clue!-- and with the IMF cementing their allegiance via austerity and a greenlight for capitalism to buy up their prime infrastruture for pennies on the dollar else. 

 Bonus: The US$$SA Dollar was KING overthrowing their pegged (yes pegged) currency!!!  Who'd of known? We did!!!  But once they forced a 'de`peg'... and floated their currency being caught in a USSA made-to-order catch-22 gotcha sucker du`jour!         Ref:            http://atimes.com/2015/10/pacific-trade-negotiators-reach-landmark-deal-fight-for-approval-to-follow/

Who will be the 'Brussels' of the TPP?

Every trade agreement signed in the last fifty + years has had one over riding agenda: Incremental formation of a single global system of trade, finance, "security" {from without, not from within} and governance. It is being accomplished in blocks. When they decide, the blocks will be united, and they will merge synergistically.

put a fork in ameica, it's done, 100 yrs. of international bankers sucking every nickel they can out of American workers, and 80 yrs of one party with a majority in congress for most of those 80 yrs.

this political party used the word democrat to fool the unenlighten, their made up of socialist, liberals, communist, independent and what ever pays the most.

my first vote was for Reagan, and voted as conservative as I could ever since.

unless there's a seismic change in the political system in the next 12 months I plan on making my last vote for an American president for Hillary, just for my own personal revenge.

within 4 yrs. of Hillary the federal republic will be gone, there's so much shit on the constitution you can't even read it anymore.

the fed. has won,  in america, and the democrats will have their democracy within 4yrs., then the fsa will be 50-55% of the voters then the shtf. cloward-plevin plan successful.

ask the citizens of Dearborn Michigan how democracy works, they have sharia law.

ppt doesn't bother me as much as turning america into a democracy.

40% of global economy, WHAT, economies include manufacturers, and buyers of goods, and services.

lets just say the 60% of democracies, and other govt.'s of the world not so enthused with ppt, with 5,000,000,000 people, say as of 1-1-2017 all forgien company owned cars , and trucks, will not be for sale in their countries, no mc' donalds, no facebook, google, caterpillar, ge,Boeing, for starters, ask ibm how it works.

rabid protectionism will hasten the dollar demise, and trade deals made with regional countries, and pacts will sprout up over night, Rothschild nightmare.

if it weren't for govt. entitlements america couldn't pass as an economy. 

with america soon to be a democracy they had better start teaching in public schools a little history, from 1865 til, 1965, the south had a regional democrat democracy, how'd that work out for blacks?

it won't be any better in the big cities come, 2016-2020.

there were so many honest good blacks warning, about voting 90+% democrat, but msm made sure Sharpton, Jackson, Hillary, and o'bama had the loud speaker, and the headlines, and called them uncle toms.

with the open borders your still a minority, not good in a democracy.

The TPP is signed!!!

99% say, huh? what?

Before any of the actual horrendous shit that is actually in the deal. The method of the deal is even worse. A complete endrun around, citizens, legislative representatives, free speech, freedom of information, democratic ideals. This is no agreement. It is an edict handed down by our ruling class. It is notification to the serfs of how they are to behave, what the rules are, who is in charge. It is an agreement among the 1% as to how they will share ownership of the sheep, how they will be sheared. I will be changing my political party membership ( for all the good it will do ). In Canada the Consrvative party agreed to it. After it was signed on to by them, the Liberal party leader said he is all about trade and is going along with it. The Liberal party also went along with our bill C51, which allows more spying on citizens and other negative things. So I am left with the Green party or the New Democratic Party. I will grudgingly go with the NDP. Though they too are letting down the average person in some ways by turning right quite a bit.

Really. It is the way in which this agreement was handled, that is the most horrific example of, f you, citizens, f you, citizens representatives, f democracy. You are owned. Here are the instructions on how you are to live for our benefit from now on.

I kept bringing this up with people. Blank faces, uncomprehending minds. Sheep. Even worse. Less survival instinct than even sheep. Cell phone grown into their hands like the gun in Videodrome. But just shooting themselves in the head with it.

I've said it before. Glad I am old. I had a great time. Won't have to be around too long into this ever faster motion train wreck. Never had kids. The kids I never had can thank me.

I keep saying this over and over: They are not keeping this a secret anymore, they are shouting it from the mountain tops they feel so secure in the way things are going for them, watch this clip from Princeton University. Former World Bank Chairman James Wolfensohn {who's father was a Rothschild lieutenant} is giving a speech to an economics class, and relishes in the pain he is inflicting on the students, as he gleefully tells them how fucked their future is. Look at the looks on their faces. He should not have left that room alive.
