Well, I thought you might come back with something approaching your last discourse.

I am alluding to the fact that there is very little that can be done. I have been part of a collective that has tried to raise awareness of these trade pact negotiations since they started years ago. I am a little jaded by the fact that it has achieved so little.

I salute your fight and desire to 'weed out' the undesirables as you see fit.

As for...

If I didn't know better I would ask who is paying you.

And how exactly would you know better? Maybe I should be asking who is paying you?

Erm. Where did I say anything about a binding ratification? I do believe I commented on the TPP trade agreement having been signed. If an agreement is signed that means it is agreed upon (in principle at least you must admit).

These trade deals are just those in power trying to prevent the eventual collapse of the world economy. The know the bubble exist, so they are attempting to pool all the debt into a world bank so they can manipulate it to its full extent.

You can't save something that you've never had. The U.S. is not, and never has been, a democracy. It's a constitutional republic. The End.

Dude - the TPP is signed and agreed. This article will only confuse those not already aware of the situation.

The TTIP has just been signed at it's preliminary stage by Obama in Germany.

We can protest but this is something that democracy cannot stop (because democracy doesn't really exist except in the minds of the controlled).

I wrote to the EU Ombudsman about the TTIP and my concerns regarding the lack of transparency. I got an answer back: the Ombudsman said that they had looked at the documents and the minutes of the trade negotiation meetings, but they could not tell me anything about it because they were held accountable to uphold the secrecy.

If you think we live in a world that lets the common person win - then you need to start seeing reality for what it really is.

I know that they need to keep hush over terms in the agreement for the sake of the country's that are in it. All this just feel like all our countries are moving to a global government and we the people have had no say in it. If our governments showed more interest in doing what best for its citizens then people would not be as upset about the cloak and dagger

I agree with stopping the TPP, but how do us little people do anything about it? I would love to do my part, but I don't know how. They don't give a rats ass what the people think.

Profits over people!
