When "national security" conceals patent expansion & establishing sovereign tribunals...




What business does a "democracy" have bundling, behind a "national security" wall of "security" and secrecy:
(1) massive changes in patent and copyright law, and
(2)the establishment of sovereign "investor-state dispute resolution" tribunals, exempt from appeal in the courts, in which corporations may defeat environmental, labor, safety, food labeling, and other threats to their profits?


What business does a "democracy" have preventing U.S. Senators from taking notes and analyzing the fine print of such a massive law with staff and legal experts before voting to prevent amendments?


Does not the concealment of corporate backed changes to copyright, patent, environmental, labor law, and the establishing of sovereign tribunals for corporate complaints, behind a "national security" wall of secrecy, and the bundling into an package exempt from amendment. . . . transform "democracy" into parody?

An important OP underscoring the deliberate, cynical corruption of this entire scam.

Using the facade of "national security" to conceal more pillaging for oligarchs shows the depth of the corruption we face.

Thank you.

But seriously, this thing is a direct attack on the sovereignty of the USA. And it should be treated as such. The authors of the TPP should be in hiding.

Is this the G. H. W. Bush New World Order that he spoke of so fondly? It is Fascism for want of a better word. Now you fucking sockpuppets bring it on.

The American people and the people of the world are goddamned sick and tired of this corporate governance. I believe they hung Mussolini. You're next.

The business of America is business, and that includes International business...

It pisses me off that Obama will REQUEST big money for the Pentagon but not REQUEST big money to re-construct the social safety net that the right (and the THIRD WAY) has spent decades dismantling. The "angry Left" is angry because of TAKE AWAYS. Because it doesn't get anything back before MORE is taken away!

And Obama is playing front man for the Military-Industrial Complex?

We need a Public-Union-Civil-Service-Nonprofit-Fuck-You-Robber-Robber-Barons Complex!
