Obama's TPP Negotiators Get Big Bonuses From Wall Street

[Bryan]

While there are plenty of reasons for constitutionalists to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), erstwhile Obama supporters on the Left are finding reasons of their own to abandon the president in his quest to impose the “trade deal.”

First, there are the environmental concessions being made by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in order to keep other partners in the pact. As reported by The New American, in a press release issued on January 15, WikiLeaks announced that they had obtained the "complete environment chapter" of the secret sovereignty-surrender documents masquerading as a multinational trade agreement.

Much of the opposition on the Left focuses on the lack of environmental protections presumed to be included in the TPP. Seems their fears are well-founded, but not for the reasons many of them may have believed.

Analysis by The New American of the pages claimed by WikiLeaks to be the full draft text of the environment chapter uncovered an "inconvenient truth" about the relationship of the TPP to the environment.

Hm. This is kind of old news. I was surprised that nobody mentioned it here yet. Regardless of that, I'm inclined to accept that many in out community either endorse the TPP as is or simply are not aware of the implications. Not nearly enough dialogue on it. Which is OK, I suppose. That doesn't necessarily mean that people aren't on top of it.

I was just reading anothe paper regarding hat Nestle is doing overseas. Hijacking all of the water and then selling it right back to the people in those countries. Lots and lots of leader toppling these days abreast with that.
