Trans-Pacific Partnership: Agenda 21 Meets Global Corporate TakeoverSusanne Posel, Contributor However, the agenda of the TPPis a securitization of customs and border patrol services, telecommunications, corporate competition policy that directly effects immigration, corporate investments, and the addition of intellectual property rights with focus on copyright limitations. The TPP, held in secret, is in actuality a multi-national trade agreement that seeks to extend intellectual property rights across the globe; creating an international enforcement scheme. In a White House statement, Obama seeks to incorporate America with Canada and the other TPP countries in a next-generation regional agreement that liberalizes trade and investment. The press release explains that TPP will build upon the commitments of NAFTA. The TPP defines intellectual property as: The leaked document drafted as the US TPP Intellectual Property Rights Chapter clearly states that negotiators for Obama are actively pushing for the adaptation of copyright measures that further restrict what is outlined in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement(ACTA) and other similar international treaties. As in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), federal agencies are placed in control of digital locks and enforcement of overblown statutory damages on claims of copyright infringement; as well as restricting the US Congress from altering existing IP governances as changes in technology and innovation demands such elasticity. The restrictive nature of the TPP is evidencedin such obligations as: In June of this year, Senators Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden and Robert Menendez wrote to the Obama administration requesting transparency regarding the TPP talks. In the correspondence, the Senators conveyed: Groups essential to the success and legitimacy of any agreements are not being provided the opportunity to provide meaningful input on negotiations that have broad policy ramifications. If Congress and the broader public are not informed of the exact terms of the agreement until the conclusion of the process, then the opportunity for meaningful input is lost. The lack of transparency and input makes passage of trade agreements more contentious and controversial. This amicable request has fallen on deaf ears as the Obama administration continues to shroud the TPP talks in secrecy. The propaganda in the public forum is that the TPP is a sort of Free Trade Act (FTA), but this masks the massive profits that corporations stand to gain with the elimination of those currently employed, as multi-national business is converted into a weapon of mass destruction. Outsourcing, which was endorsed by NAFTA over a decade ago, would be enhanced under TPP, where manipulation of governments by mega-corporations could ensure that profit margins increase exponentially. Within TPP is an UN-like tribunal of attorneys that would govern legal disputes, enforce through international judgment complaints regarding governmental regulations and oversee adherence to corporate operations despite independent right of sovereign nations under international mandate. Ron Kirkland, US Trade Representative for the Obama administration believesthat public interest and national sovereignty must be cast to the wayside under global governance that is in line with multi-national corporate agendas that serve the global Elite. Corporate control over natural resourcesthrough the use of international tribunals that will rule over environmental issues, land use, public health, and any and all laws or regulations foreign or domestic that apply. Those tribunals would be seated by private sector lawyers operating under the UN and World Bank (WB) demand for taxpayer compensation of domestic regulatory policies because corporations must be paid back for expected future profits. In basic terms, with the aid of tribunal courts, corporations can put pressure on governments to weaken their environmental policies at the whim of the multi-national company with the backing of international mandate. This has happened already in various places around the world: The TPP rewrites domestic law to fit international accord with corporate interest. Whether it is environmental or social issues, the TPP allows the end result to be in line with the profitability of the endeavor. All globalist schemes are wrapped up nicely in the TPP agreement. By empowering multi-national corporations, as they have done with the central banking cartels, the global Elite are ensured their one world government comes to fruition.
