OWS Alternative Banking Pre-meeting Talk on TPP – The Bankster’s Secret Plan to Escape Regulation and Kill Public Banks -- http://www.nycga.net/events/ows-alternative-banking-pre-meeting-talk-adam-weissman-on-tpp-trans-pacific-partnership/
Behind closed doors, the Obama administration is negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a secretive agreement between 12 Pacific Rim nations that Public Citizen describes as the “Banksters’ Delight.”
Only one member of Congress has been granted access to the negotiating texts of the agreement, and the media, public interest groups, and the public have been denied the right to see even a word of it.
Meanwhile 600 corporations have cleared advisor status, granting them access to read and influence this massive, binding international agreement. Disguised as merely a trade agreement, TPP is in fact a massive expansion of corporate power, a threat to national sovereignty, local governance, and democracy.
