"The Biggest Protest This Country Has Seen In Years" - Quarter Million Germans Protest Obama "Free Trade" Deal
When it comes to official and media opinion on Obama's crowning trade "achievements", the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade And Investment Partnership (TTIP), the party line is united. As previously noted, Barack Obama has assured the population 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.
The mainstream media's chorus of support for these trade deal is likewise deafening: here are some indicative headlines from this past Monday:
- Time Magazine: “Pacific Trade Deal Is Good for the U.S. and Obama’s Legacy”
- The Washington Post: “The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal worth celebrating”
The far less popular opposing view, one repeatedly presented here, is that 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: the outcome will be that the US trade deficit (which excluding petroleum is already back to record levels) will get even larger, and we will see even more jobs and even more businesses go overseas, thus explaining the secrecy and the fast-track nature of the TPP and TTIP's passage through Congress.
And while the US population, which is far more perturbed by what Caitlyn Jenner will wear tomorrow than D.C.'s plans on the future of world trade, has been mute in its response to the passage of the first part of the trade treaty, the TPP - after all the MSM isn't there to tell it how to feel about it, aside to assure it that everything will be great even as millions of highly-paid jobs mysteriously become line cooks - other countries are standing up against globalist trade interests meant to serve a handful of corporations.
Case in point Germany, where today hundreds of thousands of people marched in Berlin in protest against the planned "free trade" deal between Europe and the United States which they say is anti-democratic and will lower food safety, labor and environmental standards.
TTIP critics fear that it would lead to worse safeguards in Europe, bringing down standards for consumer safety, food and health or labor rights down to those in America. European nations have stricter regulations for things like genetically modified foods or workers benefits than the US does. There is also discontent with the secretive nature of the negotiations, which prompts skeptics to assume the worst about the document they would eventually produce.
The organizers - an alliance of environmental groups, charities and opposition parties - claimed that 250,000 people were taking part in the rally against free trade deals with both the United States and Canada, far more than they had anticipated.
As many as 250,000 protesters gathered in Berlin, according to organizers
"This is the biggest protest that this country has seen for many, many years," Christoph Bautz, director of citizens' movement Campact told protesters in a speech.
According to Reuters, "opposition to the so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has risen over the past year in Germany, with critics fearing the pact will hand too much power to big multinationals at the expense of consumers and workers."
Popular anger appears to be focused on the encroachment by corporations into every corner around the globe:
"What bothers me the most is that I don't want all our consumer laws to be softened," Oliver Zloty told Reuters TV. "And I don't want to have a dictatorship by any companies."
Other are mostly concerned about the secrecy covering the treaty and its negotiations: "Dieter Bartsch, deputy leader of the parliamentary group for the Left party, who was taking part in the rally said he was concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the talks. "We definitely need to know what is supposed to be being decided," he said."
As Deutsche Welle adds, the EU and US aim to conclude the negotiations, which began in 2013, by sometime next year. The next round of negotiations is set to begin later this year. Once completed, TTIP would create the world's largest free-trade zone, home to some 800 million consumers.
Campaigners are particularly concerned about a provision in the deal that would allow companies to sue governments in special tribunals. Such an arrangement, they fear, would lead to an erosion of labor and environmental protections . TTIP's supporters dismiss such thinking and argue that the deal would boost the EU's economy by removing tariffs and creating common standards.
Gerhard Handke, who heads the Federation of German Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services, told DW that TTIP would even help uphold such standards. Europe, he explained, would soon be overshadowed by other economic players, such as India and China. "Now is the time to set standards, rather than have other countries dictate them later on," he said. "Otherwise, one day, we'll have Asia setting those standards, without anyone asking us what we think."
Those gathered in Berlin, though, take a very different view. "We have heard these promises before, these promises of jobs and prosperity and growth," Larry Brown, a trade unionist from Canada - which is negotiating a similar trade deal with the EU - shouted into a microphone on Saturday as demonstrators clapped and cheered and several police looked on. "They are lies. They have to be stopped.”
* * *
Oddly, few in the US aside from the fringe media, share any of these concerns.
In Germany however, the marchers banged drums, blew whistles and held up posters reading "Yes we can - Stop TTIP."
As Reuters adds, the level of resistance "has taken Chancellor Angela Merkel's government by surprise and underscores the challenge it faces to turn the tide in favor of the deal which proponents say will create a market of 800 million and serve as a counterweight to China's economic clout."
And just like in the US, the government is scrambling to soften the popular opposition before the deal is scuttled:
In a full-page letter published in several German newspapers on Saturday, Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned against "scaremongering".
"We have the chance to set new and goods standards for growing global trade. With ambitious, standards for the environment and consumers and with fair conditions for investment and workers. This must be our aim," Gabriel wrote.
"A fair and comprehensive free trade deal promotes growth and prosperity in Europe. We should actively participate in the rules for world trade of tomorrow," Ulrich Grillo, head of the BDI Federation of German industries, said in a statement.
Businesses hope the trade deal will deliver over $100 billion of economic gains on both sides of the Atlantic.
Which, naturally, is jargon for millions in cost-cuts and layoffs, meant to boost profitability and shareholder equity.
For now the U.S. public remains largely inert to the TPP and TTIP concerns sweeping the globe; we expect that to last until the next major round of layoffs hits the US, just in time for the NBER to admit the country has been in a recession for at least 6 months.
This is how the protest looked like covered by social networks and other non-US media outlets:

Eat your soylent and shut up. Oh, and while your at it, read the Codex ALimentarius which offers standards on food irradiation.
From the Codex- If you want to trade then follow the rules!
ftp://ftp.fao.org/Codex/Meetings/CCFAC/ccfac33/fa01_12e.pdf
Beginning in 1980, many groups of experts have evaluated the results of research and have consistently confirmed the wholesomeness of irradiated foods. The 1997 Joint FAO/IAEA/WHO Study Group on High Dose Irradiation concluded (WHO Technical Report Series 890, 1999) that "food irradiated to any dose appropriate to achieve the intended technological objective is both safe to consume and nutritionally adequate". The Study Group also concluded that "no upper dose limit need be imposed" as "irradiated foods are deemed wholesome throughout the technologically useful dose range from below 10 kGy to envisioned doses above 10 kGy"
Unlike the average american shlub, 40% of whom can't understand a bus schedule, Germans can read. D
No wonder they are shipping in muslims at break neck speed.
good for them. Here in america, they are more interested in making sure that if steve wears a skirt to school he is allowed to use the womens bathroom, or black lives matter bullshit.
Im sure obamatrde will do for the world's economy what obamacare did to healthcare- funnel more money to large corporations who own the government
Sure Amerika is a nation of Gays and Trans.
Remember this?

Maybe not a quarter million.......but it was a lot.
We need to vote these shitheads out.
The fire rises in Germany. Nationalism will save Germany, third time is the charm.
If by "vote" you mean, do not support monetarily any of the corporate feudalists, expose corruption at every chance, inform others of the pathology of the internal propaganda which is channeled through virtually all of media, schools and government pronouncements, denounce the two party system/charade, expose the people who have the purse strings of the world - then yes!
You surely don't mean to waste the effort and time to tick a ballot did you?
Fucks do not vote. The fucks cannot understand why the shitheads remain in charge. The shitheads are in charge because they are in office. They are in office because fucks do not vote.
I just heard the analyst on the radio this morning saying O'Bama's trade bill will put over 6 million Americans out of work. Mostly Democrats who will replaced by much cheaper labor in Vietnam, Filippines, etc
Hard to believe Dems are too stupid to realize thier own polticians are putting them out of work. Union leaders are letting them down Big Time.
Follow the money and you will find out why.
They will follow their programing and just blame Bush.
The folks do not vote because their choices are corrupt incumbent vs corrupt challenger.
The vote is engineered through sophisticated mind control. The two main party Presidential candidates are selected and promoted because they are acceptable to the hidden financial powers. I am one of the Fucks that revoked his voter registration. Besides, as Stalin said, "It does not matter who votes but who counts the votes." This is why they want electronic voting which is much easier to tamper with.
When you register to vote you proclaim you are a US Citizen. If you knew what a US Citizen actually means and not what you assumed it means you would not register.
When you swear you are a US Citizen you have become a part of the Federal Government, Inc.. The militarized Federal State then assumes you surrender you Constitutionally protected rights to change your status from a human being on the land to a part of the Federal Corporation that has its own regulations under the color of law. You now get to be regulated and are only granted limited privileges by the corp. state.
The shitheadsd are in "office" because dumbed down slave minds like Simone DO vote , You aint from round these parts are you dearie ? Keep coming back . Step by step we,ll help you get "clean"
Lincolnsteffens "gets it". Lincolnsteffens is "clean".
.
The fucks vote.
The fuckers count the votes.
The fucks are fucked by the fuckers who are also the shitheads because guess who controls/monitors the 'free' elections?
Fuck the fuckers/shitheads and don't fucking vote fucks!
My understanding was there was a free concert first. Am I wrong?
Yep, must dilute the German Master Race (tm) ethnic demographic before they figure out they are really slaves.
well, but even in this case it is a stupid idea, because this will not turn Germany into a country of uniform robots and obedient and hard-working slaves! On the contrary. These immigrants certainly will not be obedient, nor hard-working! I am afraid they will be far less obedient than Westerners in fact. Not because they are more educated, but because they rely on more primitive instincts and will not be afraid e.g. to throw a bomb at a politician (like Westerners would be).
Of course, if the objective is to destroy Germany and plunged it into chaos, they got it right. But why TTIP then??? Germany will not be useful to anyone in such a condition, with such increasing chaos. I am beginning to think that our zionist rulers are just insane children. Nothing they do makes any sense at all. These social experiments will only turn against them.
It makes perfect sense Datura, what they fear more than anything is a cohesive Germanic/Viking race wise to their networked power fraud control. Look how they organised via their media/currency control the world to turn against a united and strenghtening Germany in the 30,s. The other non circumcissed (psychopath gene not triggered) white tribes of Northern Europe are their only true threat , the other lesser races they can dominate with ease they assume , just look at Israel versus the rest of the Islamic middle east.
You understand the biggest population group in America is German right?
I'm ok with that. In fact, why doesn't the Drone Master import moar Germans instead of the non-stop flood of MENAs?
The biggest population group in America is American. Stop your delusional nonsense. Not a one of them thinks themself German, nor has since leaving their former country.
the trouble with germans and scots and irish is they don't breed like rabbits and they enjoy good order and independant thought...usually
Every time any government anywhere promotes a "trade" deal, you can be sure, that it is only written to benefit one percenters.
The only thing the 99%ers need is for government to get OUT of negotiating trade deals. Let me do my OWN damn negotiation.
If I want to buy a Russian Kamaz Truck (which I do) get the hell out of my way!!!
When you travel the world and see a lot of cool vehicles that are not for sale here...you can guarantee it's because a trade "deal" prevents it.
The same is true for thousands and thousands of other products....and try getting your products into other countries. Holy crap....tax tax tax. Just get out of our way, and let us 99%ers...negotiate our own deals.
Yes, they read huge volumes of propganda to brainwash them quite completely by the time they finish high school at 19 years of age. Germany is a giant suicidal death cult + millions of Muslims that will own the nation by 2040.
Perhps the mass public gang raping of German women and girls 1945-7 by Soviet asiatics and mongrel Americans diluted irrepareably the Germanic bloodline and traumatised the Germanic soul for generations to come
Education
the allies took over education after Germany lost the war.
Mother Fuck that stupid queer Obama and his phone and pen. Long live the constitution.
Yeah but at least we Americans are caught up on the latest episode of the Kardashians and dancing with the stars! And we protested about a flag.
“40% of whom can't understand a bus schedule”
Which are these 40% - the producers who pay for the non-producers or?
Ha! Yeah, go into any city in the US, and you'll see our best and brightest... riding the bus. They also know their way around a govt benefits booklet. Now that I think about it, they would make GREAT europeans!
What do you expect from Obama, a constitutional lawyer who doesn't know case law and can't write and has classified top secret his entire life before age 20. Weatherman/deep cover CIA agent Bill Ayres ghost-wrote Obama's autobiography with the assistance of the "shoemakers" at the CIA. Obama life story is a tissue of lies, so all he knows is how to lie. Anyone opposing his New World Order propaganda can expect to be in a fatal car crash or getting killed at night under mysterious circumstances. As what happened to Breitbart and almost happened to Spencer Stone, who would be dead now if not for some great surgeons.
BO is neither a legal scholar nor a "constitutional lawyer". In a Republic, jurisprudence is a noble calling. In this shit show, it's just "flair" for a clown.
If I wanted to know what Germans think I'd learn Arabic and go to the local Mosque and ask the only "Germans" that will exist in 30 years what their opinions are on the world. I don't even know what these people are protesting for. Germans have no children so the future means nothing to them. By the time this law comes into effect most of these people will have died or retired to live out their pathetic worthless lives in their depressing apartments with their small dogs.
Good for the Germans. Europeans have cojones Americans left behind on the couch watching TV.
The western world is in the final stages of a planned implementation of a one world gov.
True...but things are not going according to plan.
True. Collectivism never quite goes as planned. The idea that a boardroom full of central planners are smarter that an open market of millions is ridiculous once its realised that's what they are doing.
They will seem to succeed - for a while. I'm guessing their replacement system will only last 3-4 years. Then we will have a full collapse!
Yes, it's only a matter of time...perhaps long term, but only a matter of time before the world wakes up and realizes that living within borders with a collection of people with whom you share like values, not only maximizes happiness but also creates a well functioning civil society.
This movement has already been underway. Look at the "subdivision" movement where people of similar values try to isolate themselves and their children from others. This will only accelerate in the decades to come.
Unfortunately, there's no austrailia or New Zeland or South Africa left to retreat to. That means...guns will be involved as people clear land and build their walls.
The one who is pushing the new old order is not limited in time, corporations and organisational structures live through generations.
Which means either Germans starts fighting for themselves now or are fucked as hell for good. If they don't ally with Russia, they lost.
Many of the supposed conservatives over at Free Republic love TPP voting and Goldman Sachs guy Ted Cruz who is for open borders like Jeb and Rubio. They are usually those Jonathan Pollard conservatives who do not like Christian V. Putin and bow to Nut and Yahoo. .
putins no christian. just a mask to use for control of the sheep in russia
lucky obama is a christian who promotes gay marriage
damn this putin for being not a christian and dont promote gaysex to children
(btw i dont believe any leader being christian)
i agree that no leader is a christian and i have no use for any human ruling others. it would just be nice to have this site go back to financials instead of being what is it now, an fsb? front.
for all the putin lovers on here tell us all, just what ARE the freedoms in putinland? freedom of religion for all? how about gun laws which seem a hot topic on zh, who owns them, or can they? i really don't know the answer to that but answered it should be. how many police etc. have their hand out for their own individual program of asset forfeiture? maybe part of the reason for so many dashcams?
or how about the news of the proposed law in putinland to allow govt. officials to own property w/o scrutiny. undeclared. beautiful cover to hide ill gotten gains that can no longer easily disappear overseas?
i don't care for or have any use of and have never supported any human leader or govt.. but a spade is a spade and putin is as corrupt as they come.
Treaty is just basic corporate takeover. Just like the last ones...
TPTB HATE independence.
The corporations that will get monopolistic advantages under the TTP deal most likely owned by the Jesuits.
LOL Deutscher morons. They hate Americans and white people because that's all they are ALLOWED to hate by their owners in London, NYC, and Israel. Where are the massive protests against the mass invasion of Germany by subhuman shitskin Muslims that are raping women, girls, and children across Germany every day? You won't see them.
86% of Germans WANT this mass rape of Germany and to become a Muslim nation by 2050. These people are suicidal morons and their opinions mean nothing. They haven't been a sovereign nation since their UNCONDITIONAL surrender in 1945. Turns out "unconditional" mean "without conditions", including an expiration date. My contempt and loathing of today's Germans is complete.
I see your argument regarding the brainwashing, however, you may be mislead.
Just google " germans protesting against muslims".... They have a MSM as well over there.
*Hi Regensburg ;-)
I was in northern Germany in the late 70s and on the train the boss slapped the train food server right across the face for everyone to see, he did nothing.
I knew something was way wrong with that back then.
The Vatican owned over 90% of the world's wealth, forment most of human history's world wars, civil conflicts, and unrests, and owns most of the worlds largest corporations that dominate most of the world's resources. The pope called Jesus and the Cross a failure. The Vatican is the scarlet whore that sits on the beast. And governments signing the TTP/TTIP deal to give far more power to the Vatican, commercially, are drunk with the whore's fornication.
Catholicism is just another branch of the anti-white genocide agenda that is literally murdering all white people.
Is the you Ian Paisley ?
While Amerikans are busy with Kardashians and stuffing their faces with crap .
"which they say is anti-democratic and will lower food safety, labor and environmental standards."
It's interesting that they mentioned food safety. Is the TPP trying to shove Monsanto corn down their throats because they are smart enough to know not to consume it and Monsanto's profits are down because nobody wants to eat their monopolized poison food?
Maybe that's one of the reasons that the US is sitting on their ass while everyone else protests... they are sick, brain dead and have no damn energy.
Bingo! Monsanta the "Mutinational Corporation" and its BOD / Gove stool pigeons..
The same company who brought us Agent Orange, GMO's, PCB;s, not to mention patents on FOOD, SEEDS. Forcing people into eating heir food products, etc...
"In the late 1960s, the Monsanto plant in Sauget, IL. was the nation's largest producer of PCBs, which remain in the water along Dead Creek in Sauget. An EPA official referred to Sauget as "one of the most polluted communities in the region" and "a soup of different chemicals"[131]
Agent Orange was manufactured for the U.S. Department of Defense primarily by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical.[34]:6 It was given its name from the color of the orange-striped barrels in which it was shipped, and was by far the most widely used of the so-called "Rainbow Herbicides".[132]
In 2002, the Washington Post carried a front-page report on Monsanto's legacy of environmental damage in Anniston, Alabama, related to its legal production of PCBs. Plaintiffs in a lawsuit pending at that time provided documentation showing that the local Monsanto factory knowingly discharged both mercury and PCB-laden waste into local creeks for over 40 years.[133] In another story published in 2002, the New York Times reported that during 1969 alone Monsanto had dumped 45 tons of PCBs into Snow Creek, a feeder for Choccolocco Creek which supplies much of the area's drinking water, and that the company buried millions of pounds of PCB in open-pit landfills located on hillsides above the plant and surrounding neighborhoods.[134] In August 2003, Solutia and Monsanto agreed to pay plaintiffs $700 million to settle claims by over 20,000 Anniston residents related to PCB contamination.[135]
As of November 2013, Monsanto was associated with 9 "active" Superfund sites and 32 "archived" sites in the US, in the EPA's Superfund database.[136] Monsanto has been sued, and has settled, multiple times for damaging the health of its employees or residents near its Superfund sites through pollution and poisoning.[137][138]"
And then theres this:
U.S. public officials' connections[edit]A number of people have held positions at Monsanto and in US government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Supreme Court at various points in their careers. Critics of Monsanto have said that the interconnections between the company and the US government have allowed Monsanto to profit by favorable regulations at the expense of customer safety.[269][270][271] On the other hand, supporters of the practice of individuals moving between government sector and the private sector point to the need for competent and experienced individuals in both sectors and to the importance of appropriately managingconflicts of interest that such cross-sector movements may cause.[272][273]:16–23 The list of such people includes:
The evil empire
Well, I'd like to blame Monsanto too but Americans were already like that...
The same group that wants fluoride in the water, Big Pharma, endless war, depopulation, ObamaCare, Monsanto, Dupont, etc, also wants us all to be sick and
dying. As a result many Americans are chronicly ill, with undertreated disease or
disease tptb insist do not exist. Some doctors, fighting tptb, believe America and the world are loaded with undertreated and unacknowleged disease. Those include candida and
other fungii, tickborne illnesses, illnesses coming in from Mexico
and elsewhere and many others doctors cannot or are not allowed to test for or treat. This leaves the well meaning doctor between a rock and a hard place. Reasons for this
include the health insurance companies don't have to treat and pay
for a disease if it doesn't exist and big Pharma doesn't want to cure anything. They want lifetime customers by way of being ill your entire life. ZHers know this world is
murderously corrupt. Health insurance and Big Pharma are murderously
corrupt, as well. That's why Americans are "sick, brain dead and have no damn energy".
Have you seen what this woman is doing? It's incredible, she has created a means for people to have their own blood testing. They provide a menu of blood tests so you can get tested for anything you want, even cancer, no big blood draw, super cheap. You can receive your own results without depending on a DR to decipher them and they refer people to doctors. Since it is preventative it will save countless lives and prevent developing conditions from advancing... pharma is going to be pissed! She is now a billionaire and actually deserves it.

"The Biggest Protest This Country Has Seen In Years" - Quarter Million Germans Protest Obama "Free Trade" Deal
Why can't we get 250,000 people to protest about WTC7 falling down ... proving 9/11 was obviously an inside-job and we are living in an "occupied" country?
By my personal ongoing poll, less than 8% (now 15 out of 190) know about WTC7 in the Houston area. 100% know about WTC1&2 falling down.
I've been to Houston.
92% retards in Houston (give or take a % or 2). Shittest drivers on the planet, outside of Boston.This may explain your results.
50% of Houston people have moved there in the last 10 years so got to be a little lenient. However, soon Houston will have the super-sonic rail to Dallas -- empty most of the time I'm sure like the rest of the pork barrel Boondogles in United States. It will line the pockets of all the contruction company but the heavy losses will be passed on to the taxpayers just like the metro rail in Austin and Dallas. No one I have talked to in Texas wants this rail; only the polticans...similar to Obamacare where 87% people polled voted against it.
Sadly, it will destroy thousands of acres of beautiful countryside just to please the poltcians and hand out pork.
However, soon Houston will have the super-sonic rail to Dallas -- empty most of the time I'm sure like the rest of the pork barrel Boondogles in United States.
The super-sonic rail is the stupidest initiative imaginable. There's no way it should have gotten out of the first conference room where it was suggested. "None" of the numbers work. And those that come close (like less time waiting) will change with the first bomb scare. You can't maintain a competitive surface infrastructure against a competitor that has far more flexibility, similar or even lower costs, and only has to drill holes in the sky.
There is room for a more innovative ground solution however. I like to call it "brilliant gondolas". I'll let your imagination work on it a little while ... but it makes far more sense and is vastly more simple than work on driverless cars.
I've lived in Houston since 1974 (with brief stints in Rockville, MD, Dallas, TX, Portland, OR, and Kansas City, MO). There are terrible and rude drivers everywhere. Visits to Florida presented me with the rudest.
When I came to Houston, there were orange barrels everywhere. And there have been ever since. The growth keeps requiring new road construction ... and there are not physical boundaries to inhibit it. They just keep expanding concentrically.
We now have the technology to "eliminate" almost all necessities to leave home to do work. The oil field technical and management people can work at home. The field people are in the field. And the factory people usually live close to the factory ... and work there their whole lives.
We face two major behavior changes:
1) We must find a way to equally enjoy all the leisure our innovation has enabled (i.e quit digging our own graves).
2) We must find a way to spread out and still perform our work. Cities need to become, and "will" become, totally obsolete.
BTW: I would really like to see your retard meter. I'd particularly like to see how you calibrate it ... and how you certify operators.
Free alright, a globalist fucking free for all.
If (when) TPP/TTIP "pass" rest assured you will be living in world envisioned as if the Nazis won WW2.
Global fascism - corporatocracy
Really however this process will transform most Americans into local tribes and clans - no different than villagers throughout AfPak in time.
Sure high technologies persist and wonders abound, but you and your kids are not part of that future.
If you are too poor to be a good consumer then you are disposable.
Why do you think all these state cannabis laws are being passed - so they can medicate and hallucinate the population.
You won't have the money or means to travel 50 miles down the road.
Household incomes are in full deflationary mode since 2000 - 15 years.
That's how you boil a frog.
If you meet any of of these corporate lawyers, lobbyists or political staffs that executed the demise of America - plan accordingly.
Americans on the streets?? Not until SNAP cards quit working and the pharmaceuticals wear off.
So true so true... take away the snaps, the trinkets, the drugs. hollywood idiots and steriod athletes... they'll revolt for sure.
Like their opinion matters. Best case they will get some cookies from McCain, as for Nuland her position is clear...
Democracy has never been a real thing in Europe. Not in our life time anyway, if ever.
Funny...I have a note with the same series number.
an exp date of 2011, no wonder i bought this stack of hundreds at the dollar store!
" Oddly, few in the US, aside from fringe media, share any of these concerns ".
BERNIE SANDERS has adamantly spoken out in opposition to it from the get-go.
Hillary is lying about her position (once again).
My wife is a fan of a show on TV called "Madam Secretary". It's a prime time soap/drama. The main character, the secretary of state, is an attractive look-alike for Hillary. I watched the last episode with my wife... it was blatant propaganda for the Pact. They didn't call it that but it was a US/Asian trade agreement with a similar set of characters in the abbreviation. They even sang a song during the epsiode touting its benefits! WTF?
My understanding is that the agreement will contain anti-piracy provisions to protect content creators, probably including the network that produces "Madam Secretary". (As if any anti-piracy / counterfiting provision has been enforced in the past). So while the blatant nature of the propaganda was shocking to both of us, we understood why the network produced this episode. But how does this happen? Did they dictate the theme to the writers or did the writers come up with the theme on their own?
Neither of us have observed something this blatant before.
Its passage is guaranteed. Bank on it. The US population will be well "educated" on its benefits by the time the vote comes up.
May God help us all.
An attractive look-alike for Hillary???
Tea Leone? Looks like Hillary?
I think we located your credibilty problem.
good to see our WB around
Germany?
WTF?
You cannot pivot to Russia and to the USSA at the same time... or can you?
Heil MONSANTO!
There is no such thing as a free trade agreement. That's an oxymoron. The idea of free means no government intervention. But leave it to the ruling class to use free market language to mask their crimes.
your on a roll today man. I like the kid by the door, must be Ice Cube
Yea, that's one of the best ever.
Very fine work, WB.
We he was elected the cameras where showing the people faces, looking at him as though he was new messiah.
People are stupified in the US.
He can do no wrong.
I like the evil Mickey Mouse. Many moons ago I saw some paintings by a obscure Mexican political artist, he always portrayed the US as an evil Mickey Mouse.... it's perfect.
The great liars now promise free trade. There is no free trade.
Ironically, probably the same group of people that were at the "global citizens" speech Obama gave in Germany during the 2008 election. This trade deal isn't gonna mean shit anyways cause the Fatherland will soon be under Sharia Law.
Sweeeeeetttttttt!!!
The Germans are Rising!
They are quoting a guy named "Oliver Zloty".
Why are Poles protesting in Germany?
The Germans should be protesting Merkel's refugee policy first.
This trade deal is a minor issue compared to it.
If that refugee policy continues they will not have to worry about much abouit any trade policies as they will have a lot bigger problems to worry about.
You're ignorant if you believe this is minor. dumb american.
Your tiny Muslim nations in Europe are irrelevant so, yes, this is truly minor compared to your extermination at the hands of the billions of invaders coming into Europe to take everything your ancestors worked for thousands of years to build.
if zee jerman goes out on schtreets zer mast be someting vrong
the most odd about this pictures is there are germans and its not a gay parade
Pass whatever you want fuckers. Remember the old Sesame Street 'which one of these is not like the other' where they had four boxes and in one of the boxes there was a kid doing his own thing? I'm that kid......
i recall well enough how long and difficult it was to get China into WTO. it was biggest mistake the US congress ever made, it was proposed by Clinton and signed by Bush, two weeks after 9/11. China is and was a very closed and secretive country, which incidentally shares a border with Afghanistan, in case you wonder where Bin Laden was hiding all those years. the Chinese forced down a US spyplane and sent it back to Bush in a paper bag. they called him the Manchurian president. now China wants to have the world reserve currency, which in order to do that they need to present themselves to the IMF when the new SDR currency is rolled out. hence they broke the peg to the dollar and they are accumulating gold. i bought a product that was drop shipped from China the other day. this is what they really want. the Germans managed to assimilate the communists in East Germany after the end of the Soviet empire, and nothing short of regime change in China is going to pass muster on this deal.
"Biggest mistake congress ever made". Don't even want to think about that. Brain overload. I pretty much agree with your post, except I'm not so sure China "needs to present themselves to the IMF". If you think about who the IMF is, China can but doesn't necessarily have to do that. They can just shrug their shoulders and move forward anyway. After all, what makes the IMF so legitimate and necessary in the first place? And if the dollar falls off the cliff, where does that leave the IMF?
Good for the Germans... smart... not like this stupid country... dumb Americans.
Barry just has to lead the youth into another war or annihilation while he and his people wait it out in a bunker.
Does anyone have a printing press for sale, or know anyone who has a printing press for sale?
I intend to purchase one, with the intent of developing a secretive, anonymous, information distribution network using the printed word; since very soon, none of us will be able to do it on the internet anymore.
It's mission:
the method: pseudonymous speech...
anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. it thus exemplifies the purpose behind the bill of rights, and of the first amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-- and their ideas from suppression-- at the hand of an intolerant society.
...responsibly used.
the right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.
- mcintyre v. ohio elections commission 514 u.s. 334 (1995) justice stevens writing for the majority
though often maligned (typically by those frustrated by an inability to engage in ad hominem attacks) anonymous speech has a long and storied history in the united states. used by the likes of mark twain (aka samuel langhorne clemens) to criticize common ignorance, and perhaps most famously by alexander hamilton, james madison and john jay (aka publius) to write the federalist papers, we think ourselves in good company in using one or another nom de plume. particularly in light of an emerging trend against vocalizing public dissent in the united states, we believe in the critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech. like the economist magazine, we also believe that keeping authorship anonymous moves the focus of discussion to the content of speech and away from the speaker- as it should be. we believe not only that you should be comfortable with anonymous speech in such an environment, but that you should be suspicious of any speech that isn't.
You know someone bought Hitler a Newspaper for his party to put out his ideas, his propaganda. It was a big deal and gave him his start to some degree.
Nice write up.
Was it Ford, Prescott Bush, Harriman, British Royals that supported Hitlers beginning? I forgot. I think it was an American Foundation or Masonic Leader. They wanted to screw up Germany and Russia.
Oh well. USA needs a Labor Party or a party integrated from the Justice Party, Libertarian Party, Constitutional Party, and Greens Party. Maybe if they could listen to each other without ad hominem attacks their notes would start to line up.
overthrow the governments
Surprised Langley did not bomb this protest like in Turkey.
Protest like that would never happen in the US.
In the US the youth are too drugged on buying iPones, sports and watching E-news for the latest hollywood fashions as well as the Kardashians.
Taken away is all ability to question bankster authority.
OK, the German's aren't all bad.
Not at all. I don't even know where people get that stereotype idea from. I think of Germans as kind of "no fooling around, we do things straight up and without any nonsense". You can see this attitude in the quality of the things they make. You can see it in the way they party. They work hard, they play hard and they have a real zeal for life. They can be fun but they can be harsh too. I heard they can be a bit arrogant but maybe that's because they work hard and accomplish a lot. Not all their neighbors do that.
It would be Just wrong to allow a Corporation to control the Worlds foods. (Starving a Country if the seeds fail, accidental or on Purpose).
The Banks will get rich on the Administation and on Insider trading, (just like Rothschild's Bank has had with the Royal Family's money) Rape the profits while contributing Nothing.
Is this that treaty that is top secret, and you have to be searched and escorted into a secret room to read it?
How did the Krauts 'find out what's in it'?
Hillary's hacked e-mail server.
It's good to see somebody's waking up with this crap agreement. Maybe in the US when the hair starts growing on citizen's teeth.
In the US the ability and willingness to exercise freedom is dead.
In fact the majority now want total government control.
A tyrant could take charge easily and would be welcomed.
And it will do them ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD.
When people walk around holding signs all the cartel do is look out the window and wait for them to go home.
Nothing will change...
It's nice to protest, I wish there had been 25 million on the streets! But in fact, we are ruled by a hard core elite who now hold all the cards. The recent NSA revalations make clear every person in the western world at least is spied upon in total. Your name can bring up files that complete your every thought and deed for Washington. The alliance of Corporate Powers and Washington has sealed the idea of freedom and deomocracy away in a past that will not return.
Washington has the ability to use it's foreign politicians to rubber stamp American demands. Even little Sweden now is a Rubber Stamp nation, taking orders right from the Beltway in Washington. Their elite have signed a surrender document in secret, which gives Washington all real power in Sweden, the people will be allowed to act on some social issues, but that is all. Foreign policy, economic policy, trade deals, this is all written in Washington, and Sweden's bribed politicians rubber stamp it.
This model holds true across all of the EU, except some minor hold outs like Hungary, who refuse to totally accept Washington, but their government will be overthrown with US money and CIA activists, and become another clone nation.
Protest will never make a dent in the powers of the elites. Occupy Wall Street was cleaned up in a nation wide crack down and finished within 5 hours of the order. Obama had a command post in the White House from where he oversaw the elimination of all protests nationwide. Something the stupid liberals know as fact, but refuse to admit.
Liberal protests are permitted, but if you run counter to Liberals you cannot protest because Liberals have monopolized on so-called democracy, and democratic protest. They are conducting themselves the same way in CANADA. It is sad.
Actually it is because the modern Left is anti-gun and anti-violence so they are allowed to protest because they are no threat to anyone and have no power whatsoever.
E Tu Sweden? Sweden has a King, so why not have it handled through Filial Piety, duty to the King, Loyalty to the Crown.

Anyway I sort of follow what MOTU said. But Republicans and Military types seem to eschew protestors and activists. Maybe Traditional type Americans supported the Vietnam War and never really looked at the war, the reasons for being there, the cost of the war, the human damage and chaos, the lost to the Vietnam Economy from 30 years of war... but of course conservatives believe in Economy just not for Foreigners. I guess.
Well and after 150 years of Protests in the US we got worker rights, women's rights, equal rights sort of, and OSHA which indirectly led to the poor management decisions that granted huge union benefits and the union idea always was tied to communism fears in the USA especially after the wealthy saw what happened to the Tsar of Russia.
I guess.
But I see like 12 conspiracies by wealth interests including Monarchies and their funny fascist leanings.

what a fantastic trade deal!
EVERYBODY wins?
Wow.

Das ist nicht genug Leute, wir brauchen mehr.
True. So much more opposition is needed. The evil people are entrenched.
True. So much more opposition is needed. The common people are eunuchs, castrated, cuckold, emasculated.
Fixed.
I really dont care anymore, all I am happy about is that Russia is killing many many ussa terrorists in Syria again, lots of reasons to smile. The fag boys are being decimated.
hes a king wanabe idiot, and America needs to erase every implementation that was imposed by him, and reconsider everything, including obamacare, witch can easily be 3 seperate medicaid additions with cooperated settings for each state.
Americans know that government and oligarchy doesn't give a shit what they think about a thing. Americans are done protesting and wasting their breath. 90% of America was against the 2008 banker bailout, called Congress wrote letters protested and yet it still passed. My opinion is its about to get very violent in the west, with the common man vs. The Corp.
The Trans Pacific Partnership is unadulterated TOTALITARIANISM for the dead Oligarchy. They have no QE Infinity right now, America is losing reserve currency status, Central Banking has demonstrated abject incompetence, and the European Union is fucked fifty ways to Sunday. These mooks are panicked, desperate, and out-of-rope. The TPP has been slammed through in-camera for obvious reasons, but not good enough reasons to take over all communications throughout the entire world. Anyone supporting the TPP is committing Crimes Against Humanity & Civilization.
I still do not understand why any of these crooks bother going through the trouble of crafting laws anyway.
Why do they not just keep going ahead and doing whatever the hell they want? Why do they need laws?
Magnified by the fact they don't follow any laws they find inconvenient. You are right, it doesn't make much sense.
I guess we have to look at it as agreements between street gangs, dividing up the turf, to be discarded when no longer advantageous. It is not about us plebes and serfs, it is about the gang leaders.
We need Jurisprudence & legislation to keep the Lawyers in the chips or they will protest and go against the Corporatists which, I might add, the Corporatists don't want. BIG Law runs parallel to Wall Street. You know Up yours, give me my fucking money New York shitty, and all, eh? Well, the Lawyers want their bucks too. Actually, I think laws were first invented to control money & trade.
Poli-Sci 101: Legitimacy is a concept which allows people/government to rule.
But I probably don't remember much.
National Elections seems to be the one key piece, however they refuse to allow real presidential debates set up by the people, and they refuse to allow National Referendums.
Why? You just pointed out why. Power, Status, Control, and Money has corrupted them into Treasonous Bastards.
- Let's vote on Term-Limits on Congress, Lobbyist, Political Appointees lifetime term of 8 years each
- Lets' vote on no money in politics and no gift giving at all in politics
But but but Zee Germans against TTIP? With TTIP Volkswagen can sue the EPA for emission standards.
There is also a petition with 3 million signatures. This agreenment stinks.
Obama: If you like your Job, you can keep your Job.
Jeb Bush: If you like your "Jobs", I'm sure TTIP will not affect you.
Bill Clinton: It is the Jobs Stupid. Free Trade and NAFTA through the WTO will add Jobs to the US Economy, but we are shifting already toward a service economy.
Ronald Reagan: We will ensure the security and defense of the USA through new programs like Star Wars missile defense even though this may mean shifting jobs into the military industrial complex as we approve this vast new budget.
Who really organized this protest? That's the only question that matters. Was it the German government itself at the behest of German industrial interests? Probably. Why? To try to get a better deal for Germany's old money aristocratic billionaire families that have been wealthy for literally the past 1,000 years and aim to keep it that way.
Grass roots politics is just a bunch of billionaires using NGAs to rile up the peasants to cause a ruckus. Useful idiots. Pawns. At least 90% of the population couldn't form an original thought or opinion if their life depended on it. They are really just animals.
I never thought of that.
Do you think the G7, G8, G20, WB Protests are funding by billionaires? And if so normally I see the US Foundation money as chicken feed as a social interest kind of window dressing to cover up or disguise their crimes and excesses.
... like slap on the wrist SEC fines for TBTF Banks when the market effect was $1 Trillion Market paid higher interest rates or something like that(LIBOR).
So yeah could be chicken feed paying for this.
Stop-ttip.org collected over 3 million European signatures and handed them to the EC. As a European you can still sign the petition.
One of the biggest threats of TTIP is commercial arbitrage over national policies and national jurisdiction. A private tribunal can judge a national or European policy to harm commercial interest and either overturn it or award compensation. All in secret of course. Just like this whole deal is negotiated: in secret cause they don't want you to know. All in your best interest of course.
EC and EP very open to influence over TTIP of course: http://corporateeurope.org/international-trade/2015/07/ttip-corporate-lo...
3 million Europeans rushed to sign up for advance FEMA camp seats. A private tribunal can judge who gets to go where.
German public opinion is the most important pawn, or maybe knight, in play. It is interesting that the US justice Dept decided that the way to keep the G's in line was to take the Mickey out of them by humiliating their largest, most successful exporter as a "Green fraudster." Since Green has replaced Christian in the German cultural and moral hierarchy, this case of demonic software is a complex gambit by the US. I guess that's the right description. But, I keep thinking it might be too clever by half. Keeping Germany in the the US and UK tent is getting harder and harder. The Germans have an ancient and honored tradition of cooperating and being an ally until they aren't. Ask anyone named Hermann (or Armani for that matter). I had a British banker friend who informed me that it is significant that there is still a UK Army of the Occupation of the Rhine. I don't think you can take down DB without also taking down The City.
Japan voted for an anti west government, then their Toyota's went bananas like Michael Hastings car did, and to top it off Fukushima.
how good is a trade treaty that has been rammed down the throat of everyone the usa wants to participate. the tpp is almost a done deal. do you really think the asians feel so good now that the usa has just abandoned the mid east to russia? like the pacific fleet is going to save them from the evil chinese? the largest trading partner for evertyone in the region? the trading partner the tpp wants the participating countries to isolate?
the usa is living in a mysterious world. that afghani opium is best smoked lying down.
250,000 people with guns would about what it would take for the US to have a well regulated malitia to protect them from uncle sammy
well, you sure have the guns, so what's the problem?
The Germans want to export 'products', not their 'jobs'!

Obama took millions of dollars bribe (election fund) from pharma & bio-tech ,
he wants to enforce these deals so that only American companies can sell their sky high priced goods and drag those who oppose to US juridiction for huge gains in litigation.
