(11,772 posts)This is the kind of (ACTUAL) usurpation of National Sovergnity that the right-wing loons are always bitching about in terms of the UN Black Helicopters and whatnot. The tea party gets one WHIF of what's actually going to go down with this TPP agreement, and the game will be up. And really, I could care less if they blame "Big Government Liberals for trying to ram it through in secret..", as long as this Shadowrun-enabling monstrosity is destroyed in its crib.
What's funny though is how the Corporations think if we decide that we don't like something later on, we won't be in a position to change it.
We The People: It's the Law. We can do whatever the fuck we want with it.
Corporation X: No, actually, you can't. See it says so right here.
WTP: Fuck you then, were backing out of the Partnership.
CX: Well, see you can't it says so right here.
WTP: What the fuck are you going to do if the Treasury Dept just stops writing the checks every month? Declare a Formal and Open Stare of Warfare bewteen Corporations X, Y, and Z and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Come and TRY, and see how that works out for you. You think you're losing out of profit margins NOW? Put Eric Prince's little Private Army to work, and see how fast they can't handle a USARMY Abrams Tank Division, and then go ahead and run the Quarterly Numbers again, you Morans.
That they think a Democracy will just be BEHOLDEN to whatever is done behind our backs and without our OVERT approval would be laughable, if it were not PROOF that these people are completly Off Their Rocker crazy lol.
