In reply to the discussion: Latest Intellectual Property Chapter Of TPP Agreement Leaked: Would Be A Disaster For Public Health [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)And, man, the lies have been coming fast and furious this year:
Months ago: Obama's heavily publicized speech about reining in military involvement...followed immediately by funding of the Gaza horror, a new war in Iraq, a new war in Syria, and a TRILLION DOLLAR new nuclear weapons escalation.
Then: the shameless public claim to support net neutrality, when his own appointees are enabling corporate takeover of the internet.
Then: that jaw-dropping public proclamation: If you blow the whistle-You should be thanked & protected for doing the right thing," when we have all watched first-hand this administration's treatment of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, and the vicious, systematic crackdown on whistleblowing in the federal government.
And now this. Stunning. Advertising and bragging about all these savings and limitations on monopoly and protections of citizens, and even putting them in the budget,....all the while working for exactly the opposite through the TPP. Good god.
And that's not even to mention the propaganda machines we now know about, aimed at the government's own citizens.
This is what we have come to in the United States of America. This is our lying, manipulative government on corporate money. We all live in Oceania now.
