Trans-Pacific Partnership and The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: A Serious Threat to Our Constitution and Independence!
We are contacting you to ask for your participation in stopping a most serious threat to our Constitution and independence as a nation. It may well be the most important thing you will ever do in this regard up to this point in time.
We say this for two reasons:
1.) The threat is real, and
2.) Most people are unaware of the threat.
We are talking about the recent spate of negotiations for so-called free trade and investment partnerships between the United States, Europe, and the Pacific Rim nations: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Free trade, as we have seen it, is not free and it isn't trade, but it is partnership -- and put in a more revealing word, they are mergers. Free trade is a packaging gimmick designed to enlist the businessmen in supporting a cause that in the end will destroy their businesses and their liberty.
Just as the European people were sold on the European Union (EU) a step at a time, the same technique has and is being used on us. First it was NAFTA, then the North American Union (which we slowed down), now the TTIP and TPP.
The Obama Administration, along with key Republicans, wants us to become part of the EU -- to merge with them. Yes, they use terms such as economic integration, but the end result is becoming only a state within the larger EU government.
In 1990, on a fact-finding mission to Europe, I had the public relations officer of the European Community tell me that the plan was to get the U.S. into their scheme of world government by first dragging us into the EU whether we liked it or not. He knew the plan.
We can stop them -- if we have the will and the financing -- and are able to implement our plan.
The timetable for adopting the TPP by Congress is by the end of this year. The schedule for the TTIP is by early 2015. Time is short.
The New American is becoming one of the most influential magazines in America. This is due to two reasons: the incredible content and the help of TNA's readership. Literally millions of people are reached directly by reading articles posted on TNA online each year. The indirect influence that ripples out from our readership reaches a potential 60 to 80 million.
The New American played a vital role in stopping the Security and Prosperity Partnership, more commonly referred to as the North American Union (NAU). The plot to implement the NAU continues forward and is contained in the even more audacious plan, the TTIP.
One of the most important aspects of publishing TNA is that is can serve as a platform for the publication of "special editions" that can be used in campaigns as we did with the North American Union. Beyond the hardcopy of the special edition reaching a million people, the PDF for the same issue was email out to over two million businessmen. The TNA issue became the lynchpin for the entire campaign.
We have to do the same thing again. We are putting together a special edition of foreign entanglements aimed at the current "partnerships" being negotiated by the Obama Administration under the guise of free trade. You can say that the TPP is similar to NAFTA and just as NAFTA was the embryo of the North American Union, the same can be said that the TPP would be the embryo of a similar structure in the Pacific area.
The TTIP is even worse. The purpose here is to merge the United States into the European Union. There are a myriad of organizations behind this effort ranging from the Council of Foreign Relations, to the Trilateral Commission, Atlantic Council (AC), and the Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN). And many more organizations than we can list herein.
In the case of the AC, former Senator Chuck Hagel was the chairman of the AC when he was appointed by Obama as the Secretary of Defense.
The Secretary of Defense is directly in command of our armed forces which are supposed to defend the country and Constitution. The man in charge came directly from an organization that has as its goal the elimination of the United States as we know it.
House Majority Leader John Boehner is part of the TPN, an organization which stated goal is the economic integration of the U.S. and EU by 2015. This Republican holds the highest elected position in the nation!
You can see how this is a very important campaign that we will be waging. What we need to do is to raise the seed money to publish tens of thousands of copies of the magazine to start the ball rolling.
In addition, an activist project has been formulated that for the moment must remain somewhat confidential -- we do not want our enemies to know what we have planned specifically. That knowledge could be used to thwart our plans.
We will say that it involves the use of Internet social networks to first alert then stimulate to action a wide variety of patriotic organizations from coast to coast.
We plan on not only stopping the two main trade agreements, but to re-energize many of the patriotic groups that have either no real unified goals or have become somewhat lethargic since the 2012 elections. They need a concerted action program to enhance their influence.
We need your help now. We are asking you to do three things:
1.) Can you at this time help stimulate the campaign with the seed money necessary to publish tens of thousands of extra copies of a TNA Special Edition of the TPP and TTIP and to activate a wide variety of patriotic groups to participate in this campaign?
2.) Will you plan an order for extra copies of this edition to distribute within your area of influence -- family, friends, local officials, businesses?
3.) Send us the names, email, and telephone numbers of activist leaders of patriotic organizations in your area. We want to include them in a volunteer database to keep them informed. Email those to [email protected] or call 800-JBS-USA1.
We have done it before; we can do it again -- with your help.
Most sincerely,
Arthur R. Thompson,
Chief Executive Officer,
John Birch Society

The EU-U.S. Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
Speaker: Karel De Gucht, European Commissioner for Trade
Presider: William Drozdiak, President, American Council on Germany
Presider: William Drozdiak, President, American Council on Germany
Council on Foreign Relations
May 21, 2013
...
DROZDIAK: Well, the fact that there is such strong political will on both sides to conclude this agreement is one of the biggest factors it has going for it. Certainly Europe needs a new impulse for growth, and I think many governments in the European Union are looking for it.
But nonetheless, you're negotiating on behalf of 27 governments. Countries like France and even Germany have expressed concerns about certain aspects -- agriculture trade, for example, GMOs, hormone-treated beef. American farmers say -- or American senators who represent the farming constituency say they will not accept any kind of agreement unless this is accepted. And then you have the very -- unless it is accepted, that you allow your markets to open up to GMO products.
