Negotiated
in secret but now exposed as a "corporate power tool of the 1%", TPP
grants powers to corporations that supersede all laws and rights of
citizens.
TPP FTA (TPPA): TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP FREE TRADE AGREEMENT SUBORDINATES NATIONS (AND PEOPLE) TO CORPORATIONS
"The Trans-Pacific Partnership 'free trade' agreement [TPP/TPPA] is a
stealthy policy being pressed by corporate America, a dream of the 1
percent, [and a realization of George Bush Sr.'s vision of a "New World
Order"] that in one blow could: offshore millions of American jobs, free
the banksters from oversight, ban 'Buy America' policies needed to
create green jobs and rebuild our economy, decrease access to medicine,
flood the U.S. with unsafe food and products, and empower corporations
to attack our environmental and health safeguards."

"Under the agreement currently being advocated by the Obama
administration, American corporations would continue to be subject to
domestic laws and regulations on the environment, banking and other
issues. But foreign corporations operating within the U.S. [including
foreign subsidiaries of domestic corporations] would be permitted to
appeal key American legal or regulatory rulings to an international
tribunal. That international tribunal would be granted the power to
overrule American law and impose trade sanctions on the United States
for failing to abide by its rulings. The terms run contrary to campaign
promises issued by Obama and the Democratic Party during the 2008
campaign."

"A leaked draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) investment
chapter has been published online by Citizens Trade Campaign, the same
coalition that first published TPP proposals from the United States on
intellectual property, regulatory coherence and drug formularies in late
2011. Draft texts are said to exist for some 26 separate chapters,
none of which have ever been officially released by trade negotiators
for public review."

"Despite the White House's efforts to keep [the] proposed free trade
agreement concealed from the public - and even Congress - an excerpt
from the TPP leaked Wednesday [6/13/2012] reveals that President Obama
is prepared to bow to multinational corporations... According to the
leaked excerpt, the Obama administration has been considering TPP
provisions that would allow foreign corporations operating within the
United States to appeal regulations on the environment and banking that
would be forced on American-owned businesses with no chance of reprieve.
While the United States could be sanctioned for failing to impose
regulations on American-run businesses, multinational corporations are
practically encouraged to do as much because the TPP outlines a clear
avenue to file an appeal. If one of the eight Pacific nations chooses
to do as much, their plea would be heard by an international tribunal
that could overrule US law."

"Trade officials from the U.S. and eight Pacific Rim nations -
Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and
Vietnam - are in intensive, closed door negotiations to sign [the]
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) 'Free Trade' Agreement by summer 2012.
Every Pacific Rim nation from China and Russia to Indonesia and Mexico
could eventually be included. There are draft texts for [the pact's 26]
chapters, most of which have nothing to do with trade, but rather
impose limits on domestic food safety, health, environmental, and other
policies. The governments won't release the texts to the public. But
600 U.S. corporate 'trade advisors' have full access."

"Although the TPP has been branded a 'trade' agreement, the leaked
text of the pact's Investment Chapter shows that the TPP would:
- limit how U.S. federal and state officials could regulate foreign
firms operating within U.S. boundaries, with requirements to provide
them greater rights than domestic firms;
- extend the incentives for U.S. firms to offshore investment and jobs to lower-wage countries;
- establish a two-track legal system that gives foreign firms new
rights to skirt U.S. courts and laws, directly sue the U.S. government
before foreign tribunals and demand compensation for financial, health,
environmental, land use and other laws they claim undermine their TPP
privileges; and
- allow foreign firms to demand compensation for the costs of
complying with U.S. financial or environmental regulations that apply
equally to domestic and foreign firms."

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO STOP TPP/TPPA, THE RISE OF CORPORATE FASCISM AND THE FALL OF DEMOCRACY?
I. Call to Action on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (San Diego CA 7/2-10/2012):
http://tinyurl.com/7cg3dwr
http://www.ustr.gov/tpp
II. Citizen.org [mis]advises this...
A. "Contact your Senators, Representatives, and state legislators:
ask them to demand release of the secret negotiating texts and stop the
TPP corporate power tool agenda that slams us 99 percenters."
B. "Write Pres. Obama: tell him that you loved his State of the
Union focus on American manufacturing, but that his blue-print will be
destroyed unless he gets his trade negotiators on a new track on TPP. We
cannot afford another job-killing, unsafe-import-flooding,
democracy-crushing NAFTA-style trade deal."
...which we correct with this:
C. Re "A" and "B" above, keep in mind that the people you are
appealing to are the corporate puppets and guilty parties responsible
for the very wrongs you are trying to right, so don't expect such
impotent slacktivism to change anything.
D. The problem is not Obama and the Democrats. The solution is not
Romney and the Republicans. The problem is all of the
corporate-controlled Democratic AND Republican politicians - including
Obama AND Romney. The solution is REVOLUTION.
E. Thomas Jefferson said "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." It's that time
again...
