Through six and half years of confounding ignorance sprinkled with moments of resolute Nation destruction, America has endured an attack on it’s aspirations at the hands of a hateful Administration. Heading into the final gasps of the Obama/Jarrett regime, the United States is about to be slammed with a potentially unremovable dagger in the heart of its freedom.
The clandestine Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) will erect a multinational superstructure ruled by too-big-to-fails, which will induce a giant vacuum to suck the remnants of Freedom still thinly dispersed across the country. A vengeful President considers these remaining fragments of Freedom, as just littering residue left over from the Nation’s Founders through a hitherto sacrosanct 1787 Document to now be disposed of as so much rubbish to the heap of history. Obama will be the most Nation reshaping President in history.
You would be justified in assuming that because this agreement is being negotiated under the bias and partisan intolerance of Obama and Jarrett, who have consistently been predisposed to misrepresentation, this segment of their progeny cannot be trusted.
Don’t let the legacy advancers seduce you with false promises of greater access to foreign markets, or more durable intellectual property protection. Don’t be enticed by concepts like harmonization of regulatory regimes. Do you really think we need harmonization with the kleptocrats defiling Brunei and Vietnam? This secretive treaty has been bestowed “fast tracking” by a Congress which had no idea what it contained when it pulled the ‘yes’ lever.
The rest of us will just sit on the sidelines witnessing a replay of the Obamacare, “pass it so you can read it” strategy. Sadly, as I have noted previously, this fast tracking was applauded by Cruz, Ryan and Rubio, which brings into question their conservative principles, as well as their common sense.
As I also noted elsewhere previously, “We have zero balanced free trade, and sporadic impositions of tariffs resulting from occasional special interest pressures, do not ‘balance’ bring.”
The TPP agreement will bring to the world the concept of Corporate Sovereignty. Remember this sociopathic term, Corporate Sovereignty, because the full meaning of its ruthless recklessness will touch your life directly.
Corporate Sovereignty, in the form of Too-big-to-fails, has been in our midst and has controlled our destinies for some decades. TPP will put this control on steroids. The added power of the President’s bully pulpit peddling TPP, bent on vanquishing a Nation where the last real vestiges of human Freedom remain, will provide multinationals with capacity to affect your rights.
Corporate sovereignty trampling through your individuality, your privacy, and your bank account, will come in numerous forms including the form of international tribunals convened at their behest. Multinational companies disagreeing with a country’s laws will be able to override national laws and regulations from somewhere atop a distant ephemeral wave in the middle of the Pacific, to impose monetary sanctions. Hark, . . . from somewhere in the ether — far from elected positions, political structures, or judicial systems, “you will pay or you will change your laws.” Local regulations will no longer be allowed to infringe on multinational Corporate Sovereignty profits.
The TPP will not be about “free trade,” since we don’t don’t need more free trade of the kind America already has with Mexico. Sure, there will be some more offshoring, but there isn’t really much more to offshore. What is really in play here is Freedom — Individual freedom, your freedom, and it is being surrendered with the full approval and thrust of this Administration.
Under TPP, for example, what you write, what you create, which will inevitably find its way to the internet, you know, that international ubiquitous digital highway where everything lives permanently, yah, that, will expose you to censorship, and even to criminal charges. Dare you say anything that exposes or grates on a Corporate Sovereign, and the new world order will be knocking on your door with the help of your internet provider.
Any surprise that TPP has been negotiated in secret? No, given Obama’s proclivities, however, it is astonishing that it has been “fast tracked.” Multinational wallets must have lavished enough cash on Washington to crush common sense.
When the full impact of TPP finally progresses to the reveal, regardless what the subversive and dishonest media pretends, it will prove to be a legacy of betrayal.
A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
