    Stolen primaries, blatant corruption at every turn, MSM silence but why? It's the Trans-Pacific_Partnership

    Edit: 7 years of secret meetings / 600 plus corporate insiders /$658 Million spent on lobbying in 2014 alone, unreal!
    It was written in secret by 600 plus corporate insiders. While the public and members of congress have been kept in the dark. link to list fr 2012

    It just gets worse and worse. Was Obama was running a long con? At the very end of his 2nd term he was going to let the corporations implement their secret plan TPP and they still might.

    Corporations and maybe a handful of govt officials (some corrupt)from around the world have been working on this secret trade deal for over seven years. Supposedly Hillary Clinton has been intimately involved in making some of this secret trade deal (NOT GOOD) and now all she has to do is coast to victory and become the next POTUS.

    The powerful corporations and govts have been secretly working on this deal for so long they're not taking no for an answer. The powerful, for profit media conglomerates are obv. on board hence the incredibly skewed media coverage.

    Obama got pressured to hold off on signing the TPP, no problem. Hillary can do the signing after the election. Then something unimaginable happens. Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and a pending fbi indictment. They did what they had to do regardless of how bad it looks. Hillary will be the nominee.


    The very credible Bernie Sanders comes out against the TPP since it's been written by the corporations for the corporations in secret. The American workers will get totally fucked over and we'll be dealing with this for generations to come. It's so bad Bernie has pressured Hillary into opposing TPP

    Official score right now for fast tracking the TPP
    Obama for TPP
    Hillary against (I'm skeptical)
    Trump against
    Sanders against

    Yep, that's why this election's been like living in the twilight zone.

    Hey do you guys believe Hillary Clinton will be against the TPP like she claims?

    or


    I will be her biggest supporter if she stands with the people. Will she really double cross us to our face?

    Some quotes about TPP

    It’s designed to carry forward the neoliberal project to maximize profit and domination, and to set the working people in the world in competition with one another so as to lower wages to increase insecurity” -- Noam Chomsky

    "I'm not against trade...but they're not really trade deals. They're really investment deals between international corporations...They're saying we want to get a race to the bottom so we can exploit the most unfortunate worker." ~ Rep. Keith Ellison

    "During the 1999 debate over Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China President Bill Clinton said, 'In opening the economy of China, the agreement will create unprecedented opportunities for American farmers, workers and companies to compete successfully in China's market. WRONG: Our trade deficit with China has increased from $83 billion in 2001 to a record breaking $342 billion in 2014." ~ Sen. Bernie Sander

    "Trickle-down economics is a myth. Enriching corporations — as the TPP would — will not necessarily help those in the middle, let alone those at the bottom."
    ~ Joseph Stiglitz
    (Nobel Prize-winning Economist)

    Right now, there are trade proposals in the works that threaten to put most Americans on the wrong side of globalization.

    There is a real risk that it will benefit the wealthiest sliver of the American and global elite at the expense of everyone else. The fact that such a plan is under consideration at all is testament to how deeply inequality reverberates through our economic policies.

    ...agreements like the TPP are only one aspect of a larger problem: our gross mismanagement of globalization.

    Given that the president himself has emphasized that inequality should be the country’s top priority, every new policy, program or law should be examined from the perspective of its impact on inequality. Agreements like the TPP have contributed in important ways to this inequality. Corporations may profit, and it is even possible, though far from assured, that gross domestic product as conventionally measured will increase. But the well-being of ordinary citizens is likely to take a hit.

    It’s much worse than a blank check about trade, because the trade agreement has provisions that would affect a whole set of regulations that would affect the environment, worker safety, consumer safety and even the economy...would not only become the law of the land, but every other law would have to adapt to it ... and our Congress would have given up all authority in those areas.
