We, the transnational corporations and the ruling elites are on the verge
of a wonderful new dawn that will bring us immense power and untold wealth.
We have been secretly negotiating a
new agreement called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) with the United States
Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam
and are nearing completing the final details of this agreement. We have had 600
of our best corporate lobbyists providing input and have successfully excluded Congress,
our own corporate media, and the general public from the negotiations. Once implemented,
this agreement will hard code corporate dominance over sovereign governments
into international law that will supercede any federal, state, or local laws of
any member country. This agreement will grant new corporate privileges and
rights, while limiting governments and protective regulations. This agreement will
far exceed anything we have been able to achieve with NAFTA, CAFTA, or any
other free trade agreement.
In the past, we had to deal with
environmental regulations, financial regulations, worker safety regulations and
other issues have always brought down the profits that we worked so hard to
earn and are rightfully ours. Once this agreement passes, these regulations
will actually have the potential of increasing our wealth. Some of the
provisions in this agreement include the establishment of corporate
controlled tribunals to be administered by 3 attorneys with no conflict
of interest limitations. These 3 attorney tribunals, which will be controlled
by us, will have the power to order sovereign governments to use taxpayer money
to pay us and our agents for any environmental or regulatory costs that our
transnational corporations expended to meet local standards. We can literally expect
to have long term taxpayer revenue streams that will flow into our coffers. At
the very least, many existing laws would need to be rewritten and no new
regulatory laws could be passed.
With this wonderful new agreement, governments
that tried to pass regulations such as limits on the financial industry using
risky bets such as derivatives would have the burden of proof to defend such
regulations in a tribunal system controlled by us, and staffed by our lawyers
and judges. The judges in these tribunals could order the government to use taxpayers' money to pay damages should one of
our transnational corporations prevail in one of these "private courts". In the
past, we have received over $350 million
of taxpayer money under the NAFTA style deals, because of
zoning laws, toxic bans, timber rules and other regulations. It is our
expectation that this figure will be dwarfed by future payments. This TPP agreement is like NAFTA on
steroids. These tribunals setup by this TPP agreement will have binding
corporate guarantees with both trade and cash sanctions. These cash sanctions
would also effectively transfer taxpayer money to transnational corporate
coffers. Can you imagine how much money we will have flowing into our
pockets as we challenge regulations within our own private court system forcing
governments to pay for our lost profits or to eliminate them? This
agreement will essentially strip governments of their sovereignty and make them
answerable to our tribunals.
The result of these corporate
tribunals will be to setup a race to the bottom, where if one country chooses
not to regulate something, then the corporations would be able to sue the other
nations inside of the TPP to have taxpayers cover their losses for any such
regulations. These other countries would be vulnerable to corporate led
lawsuits to be decided in the corporate tribunals. In order to protect our interests , we could
potentially have the ability to utilize the publicly funded militaries of some
states to wage war on other "less compliant" states.
So how could such an extreme
agreement that literally gives corporations and us ruling elites everything we could
possibly want have been negotiated with little or no resistance? The answer is
that the ONLY way this agreement could ever pass is if everything is done in
secret, continues to remain secret, and
the details never see the light of day .
In that regard, we must do
everything in our power to be sure that the general public does not become
aware of this agreement or the details before we are ready for a vote. Since
our main stream media will represent our interests, we do not need to concern
ourselves much about them. However, unfortunately some of the independent
media, over which we have little control at this time, is starting to make
waves on this issue. Lori
Wallach, the director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch recently said:
"These agreements are a little bit
like Dracula. You drag them in the sunshine, and they do not fare well. But all
of us, and also across all of the countries involved, there are citizen
movements that are basically saying that this is not in our name. We don't need
global enforceable corporate rights. We need more democracy. We need more
accountability."
Can you believe the audacity of that
statement? It is as if she believes that people should have say in such
matters. It is as if she believes that limits should be placed on our profits
that we worked so hard for.
We have heard that demonstrations
are being planned for our next TPP
negotiating session that will be held September 6-15 in Leesburg, VA.
Information about these negotiations is being circulated on the Internet and we
need to do everything we can to stop them or at least limit their attendance
and coverage by the independent media. The police need to be informed that they
have our permission to employ aggressive tactics against any demonstrators and
will not suffer any consequences for unlawful behavior. If necessary, we can
plant provocateurs into the crowds to insure a robust police response and to
provide fodder for our corporate media.
In the future, once this agreement
has been ratified, Internet censorship regulations will be passed that are much
stronger than the previous ones we tried to pass, such as ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA.
This will lock down the Internet so we can use it for our purposes, as has been
successfully done in other countries. Once this has been accomplished, the
public masses will have no alternatives except for our controlled media. This is why it is so important to make sure
that this agreement does not see the light of day.
Once the negotiations have been
finalized, the control we have over the elected officials will ensure that this
bill passes. We will use every weapon in our vast arsenal to make sure that we
get the votes we need. Some elected officials will respond to campaign
contributions. Others may need to be threatened. Thanks to the enlightened
Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling allowing unlimited anonymous money to flow
into negative ads, we will use these new tools to prevail against anyone who
opposes us on the TPP in the next election. We are fortunate that the opinions of the gullible masses are so easily
and effectively swayed by watching these negative ads put on by us. To further
ensure that the agreement is not changed, we must make sure that the TTP is
given fast track status. That way no rogue legislator can make amendments or
changes, or try to filibuster the agreement. It will be a simple up and down
roll call vote.
We are also fortunate in that
regardless of the election results in November, it will make no difference who
wins. The agreement will be signed by whoever is president. This agreement was
negotiated under Obama, so he will certainly sign it. Romney has also stated
that he wants this agreement finalized as quickly as possible so he can sign it
as well. Only if a 3rd party candidate wins will this be a problem. Our
media will work hard to make sure that does not happen.
Polls
show that most Americans from both major political parties believe that money
exerts far too much influence on public officials. They believe that this effectively
makes these elected officials the "hired servants" of the wealthy elites. This
sort of popular belief works against our interests. Unfortunately, both the Tea
Party and the Occupy Movement also believe that there is too much influence of
money on our legislators. While government representatives are essentially our puppets,
we will need to be sure that we keep the electorate divided. We still need to continue
to work on both the left and the right and create wedge issues that will keep
them focused on each other, not on what we are trying to here. We need each of them
to question the patriotism of the other side. We need each of them to make
derogatory remarks about each other, even if we need to hire someone to do this
important work. This has worked well in the past and there is no reason to
expect it will not work again.
