excerpt:
Of all the times Republicans have made fun of Nancy Pelosi for saying we have to pass Obamacare so we can find out what's in it, they're now invoking the exact same twisted logic with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). They want to enact the agreement without the public -- or even most lawmakers -- having a chance to read it first.
The TPP is a secretive trade deal that the Obama administration refuses to make public. Click here for Wikileaks documents on the TPP, and click here to read how the TPP threatens natural supplements and cosmetic products.
Republicans now operating under the same insidious secrecy we witnessed with Obamacare
Republicans, who incessantly seek to hand more monopolistic power to evil corporations (as opposed to Democrats, who incessantly seek to hand more power to evil governments), have pushed hard for passage of the TPP, fraudulently calling it a "free trade agreement" even though it may actually restrict many free trade activities domestically.
The TPP promotes free trade in exactly the same way the U.S. Patriot Act promotes patriots. It doesn't, in other words. The name is a marketing gimmick to conceal the true nature of the agreement, which remains shrouded in astonishing secrecy.
Far from promoting free trade, the TPP seems to be a globalist-oriented corporate-pushed framework that would strip power from the U.S. Congress and destroy national sovereignty on trade issues. It would allow foreign governments to dictate what products U.S. companies can sell to the American people, and under what terms. And under the provisions being pushed by Republicans, Congress would be powerless to stop it. (Today's spineless Republicans just can't wait to give up more power and make Congress totally irrelevant, it seems...)
Democrats spearhead opposition and block a key vote
Stunningly, the Democrats have mustered enough key allies to halt a vote on one of the procedural prerequisites for the TPP. "Senate Democrats filibustered Tuesday to block the first major free-trade vote in years, dealing a blow to President Obama and GOP leaders," reports the Washington Times.
To the great astonishment of everyone, this TPP fraudulent trade agreement has Obama allied with Republicans, and Democrats resisting tyranny!
When was the last time you ever heard of that happening?
