Despite the sovereignty-destroying Trans-Pacific Partnership being so unpopular that both major parties’ presidential candidates are campaigning against it, the Obama White House notified Congress that legislation to approve the globalist “free-trade” regime was on its way. It seems that the establishment is hoping to ram through the deeply controversial regional-governance scheme during the “lame-duck” session of Congress — after the election and after voters lose their chance to remove elected representatives for at least another two years. Critics in Congress and beyond from all across the political spectrum, though, are speaking out forcefully. Opponents noted that one way to stop it would be to prevent Congress from holding a lame-duck session at all.
In essence, under the bogus guise of “free trade,” the TPP sets up a massive regional government that will undermine the national sovereignty of its member governments. As of now, there are 12 governments participating in the scheme, including dictatorships of the communist and Islamist varieties. Going forward, more governments, including the Communist Party regime enslaving mainland China, could also join. While the trade agreement’s thousands of pages are packed with controversy, some of the most alarming components include the attack on the right to self-government. Under the scheme, unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies will usurp massive powers over formerly independent nations. Mega-corporations, including state-run behemoths operated by dictators, would be able to sue taxpayers in international kangaroo courts. And that is just the start of it.
