For all the world, it seems to me like this is a back door shell game way that The Corporation is using to steal our sovereignty right out from under us. Never mind other countries doing it to us, this is the Corporate takeover of our own government. I agree with you Baobab, it's a Trojan Horse.

The only thing that the people of this country can do to stop the TPP and it's associated agreements is peel the big "Sucker" sticker from our foreheads and get Senator Bernie Sanders into the White House now, along with a Democratic House and Senate so together they can 86 the whole business once and for all. HRC is from the same branch of the Democratic Party as WJC & PO and I think that pretty much insures that if she gets elected, she will put it on through.

NAFTA and GATT were negotiated in GHWB's Administration and signed by Bill Clinton not long after he took office. They had a big shebang in DC. Invited all the living Presidents. Best thing since sliced bread. Had it not been for Ross Perot, the American people would not have had a hint that something could go wrong with GHWB's wonderful New World Order Trade agreements. Now, 24 years later, our lives, our standard of living have been lowered. Corporations are doing gangbusters, but the people not so much. Wages have flattened out, with all the profit going to the top 1%.
