During the August recess, GOP senators were told to press for the passage of the TPP Trade Agreement. Yikes!!
Wikileaks has gotten their hands on a copy of Obama’s phony TPP trade bill. It contains 29 chapters but only five pertain to trade. Wikileaks will be publishing the entire bill and they have already released the chapter on Investment. It’s very interesting. It is written in a such a way as to give multinational companies a huge advantage on trade. If a public hospital is built close to a private one, the private hospital has the right to sue the country for expected losses. That is outrageous. Here is where you can find the chapter on investment:

Here are other chapters published by Wikileaks:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The agreement also regulates the internet and requires internet companies to gather certain data which they will be required to share with certain private companies. Many of the provisions will not only be secret before the vote in the House, but will also be kept secret for four years after the bill is signed. That means we won’t know what’s in it even after it’s passed.
