"The Top Secret Deal Between 11 Countries That Will Affect Your Life" - MOC #186

Did you know there is a soon-to-be-passed trade deal that's being called "NAFTA on steroids"? Did you know over 600 corporate lobbyists are being giving the keys to a backdoor around our laws? You probably didn't know about it because it's being kept top secret. [more at LeeCamp.net]

With the over saturation of information in the media, how do you wade through the bullshit to find these important stories? Do you have a specific source? Thanks for putting these up by the way, huge fan.

[LeeCamp2]

TruthOut, Alternet, TheRealNews, DemocracyNow, & RT

[Cone Zone]

If someone wants more info, in addition to the website Lee mentions, you can check out canadians(dot)org(slash)trade(­slash)issues(slash)TPP(slash)i­ndex(dot)html

Also, since I'm here, Lee.......Hicks would be proud

(not the adj meaning provincial and unsophisticated, the noun that raged against the banality of popular culture like you do)

Moreover....balls

[LeeCamp2]

Thank you. And thanks for the extra website.

Long time listener, first time commenter. Agree with the sentiments as usual. I think you meant North American, not North Atlantic FTA. Slip of the tongue, happens to the best of us.

[LeeCamp2]

Yep. I already added an annotation correction before you commented. Thank you.

This is why large companies need to be controlled by the workers. It's the ONLY solution to these kinds of problems. As long as sociopaths and CEO's are making the decisions in smoky rooms, we can expect this shit to accelerate.

I could say a thing or two about Democracy Now....

[talksolot]

AlterNet eh? 1 of the most vile racist liberal American rags on the entire net. It embodies the sick pathological racism of white liberals. Some of Alternets most memorable articles include the 1 where some white American was confessing how the brown color of her adopted foreign baby embarrassed her. Then there was the 1 where some American had divvied up Afghanistan's ethic groups into desirable &undesirable then proceeded to use the most blatant racism to describe the latter.

One issue is that this news has been out for about a year (Thanks for bringing it back out, Lee. You rock) via alternative media. The MSM might give it a sound byte for 10 seconds (long version) but the majority of the public is so apathetic they have no f***ing idea what's about to happen here and if some do, they don't care.

The public should be beyond rage by now...just sayin'.

[OtherThanIrwin]

I just love it when someone comments by making absolutely no sense at all.

[2zedge]

I love your sources! Best news, real, succinct.

[JayTwista360]

Lee should work on his jokes, but other than that we should definitely look out for back door deals like this in the future.

TPP is not covered at al lin CANADA,...the Sinopec & Cnoc are going to take over BC.

[blackcrow1x]

I suggest gatesofvienna. net, and ihr. org

Thank you. Would love a safe for work version.

Just as horrific as TPP, we entered into the U.S.-Colombian FTA on May 1st this year. This was overshadowed by the Secret Service's blunders with women of the night while the cutesy photo of Hillary whooping it up at a nightclub in Cartagena floated over the internet. Our policies with the Colombian government assist in killing of trade unionists and other people that resist rampant corruption. We must continue to resist.
