Trans-Pacific Partnership
Treaty
In the same way
Obamacare was foisted on America by creating a 2,000-page law that Democrats in
Congress never even bothered to read, a new treaty about trade with Asia is
going through the same process and poses as great, if not greater, threat to
our economy, our judiciary, and our sovereignty. Secrecy and outright deception is the
hallmark of the Obama administration and a proposed Asian treaty must be
stopped.
It is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and,
writing on The Economic Collapse blog, Michael Snyder, notes that “This treaty
has 29 chapters, but only 5 of them have to do with trade. Most Americans don’t
realize this, but this treaty will fundamentally change our laws regarding
internet freedom, health care, the trading of derivatives, copyright issues,
food safety, environmental standards, civil liberties, and so much more.”
Snyder warns that “It contains a whole host of
things that Obama would be unable to get through Congress on his own. But he is
hoping to spring this on Congress at the last minute and get them to agree to
this ‘free trade agreement’ before they realize all of the things contained in
it.” This is a definition of governing by deception. It evokes the way
Obamacare was put before a Congress that had not read it…and which passed by a
straight party-line vote by Democrats.
