Bio
I'm an electrical engineer and mathematician by training. My career has spanned diverse areas of expertise from being part of a team which designed the world's most powerful computers to corporate consulting around business transformation and information-based solutions to being a corporate sales and marketing executive in the information technology and business consulting space. I’ve led teams responsible for innovative and transformative solutions and been part of teams that helped set strategy for many of America's greatest companies. Two of my interests are econometrics, democratic finance and quantitative - qualitative analysis. Over the years I have developed risk-based models and trading systems meant to identify significant investment opportunities and periods of extreme risk. My blog is an outlet for another of my passions, writing. I generally consider myself a contrarian. Therefore, many of my rantings are meant to encourage people to question what they believe to be true. Terms of Use & Disclaimer: First off, I don't take anything on here too seriously and you shouldn't either. These are simply sardonic rantings of Bill, my alter ego, often meant to agitate for peaceful & nonviolent reform. This web site reflects the views of its authors.

Leaked Trade Agreement Documents - Obama Wants To Help Foreign Corporations Subvert America's Rule Of Law

Rate: 0 Flag

You should really watch this video. 

A draft agreement leaked Wednesday shows the Obama administration is pushing a secretive trade agreement that could vastly expand corporate power and directly contradict a 2008 campaign promise by President Obama. A U.S. proposal for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact between the United States and eight Pacific nations would allow foreign corporations operating in the U.S. to appeal key regulations to an international tribunal. The body would have the power to override U.S. law and issue penalties for failure to comply with its ruling. We speak to Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, a fair trade group that posted the leaked documents on its website. "This isn’t just a bad trade agreement," Wallach says. "This is a 'one-percenter' power tool that could rip up our basic needs and rights."

Will this finally wake up the endless excuses put forth by the Obama apologists?   Blaming Republicans for everything.  Those who refuse to look past the rhetoric created through hundreds of millions of dollars of political propaganda used to create an image of a man that doesn't actually exist.  That is, except in the minds of those who created the propaganda.

I doubt even George Bush would have given up American sovereignty and with it our constitutional rights.  I simply cannot rationalize with any form of reason why a president who is supposed to be a constitutional scholar is operating in so much secrecy.   Why he is knowingly dismantling our rule of law and operating outside of constitutional authority on so many issues.

The signs were there.  When Obama said he was going to renegotiate corrupt trade agreements during the 2008 campaign and then it was leaked that Obama's campaign team told Canadian officials not to be alarmed because he was essentially lying.  Was apparently feeding Americans what they wanted to hear to get elected rather than any virtuous form of truth.  If we look at actions rather than rhetoric, that conversation may have actually taken place.  

Secrecy serves a very clear and unequivocal purpose.  Evil cannot survive in the light.  It scurries into the darkness.  Obviously someone else agrees that this agreement is dubious at best given it was leaked.   Are these the actions of a public servant or a political master?

The political world in the U.S. could get very interesting before November 2012.    We have what I would argue could easily be the two worst presidential candidates in my adult life.  Dumb and Dumber choices provided by the dumbed-down corporate state.

The rule of law is dead.  The Constitution is dead.  And the Democratic and Republican parties killed both.

In closing, this is an interesting perspective from New Zealand on this scam job.
