The latest news on the diabolical machinations masquerading as a "free trade" deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is that "fast-track" legislation has now been introduced to Congress. We have previously noted how the TPP is a very, very bad deal for everyone but the elites and mega-corporations. In a nutshell, it would basically remove all obstacles to complete corporate control over all of us. From worker rights to environmental protection to food safety to Internet freedom and much more, We the People would lose a massive amount of power to our global corporate masters as a result of this Faustian bargain. The fact that the TPP will most certainly destroy countless jobs in this country (like NAFTA did) is merely an afterthought compared to the rest of its pernicious effects upon our nation (and any other nations foolish enough to sign it). And fast-tracking this deal would allow it to easily bypass the usual safeguards that would otherwise kill it before it even has a chance of passing.
So tell your representatives in Congress: Do NOT allow it to be fast-tracked. Flush the TPP now, before it's too late!
