TPP: Unconstitutional tribunal for .01% oligarchs to dictate what is \u2018fair trade\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe corporations have bribed the political leaders in every country to sign away their sovereignty and the general welfare of their people to private corporations. Corporations have paid US senators large sums for transferring Congress\u2019 law-making powers to corporations.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Dr. Paul Craig Roberts<\/a>, former Assistant Secretary to US Treasury, former editor of the\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trans-Pacific-Partnership (TPP) is \u201csecret national security legislation<\/a>\u201d that President Obama and both parties\u2019 \u201cleaderships\u201d refuse to disclose to the American public, and only visible from\u00a0WikiLeaks<\/a>. President Obama attempted \u201cfast track<\/a>\u201d dictatorial power for Congress to vote for TPP without access to full text or public consideration. \u201cFast track\u201d violates the US Constitution\u2019s requirement for the Senate to ratify all treaties with 2\/3 vote by claiming that 50% is somehow the same\u00a0(a tie is broken by the VP, so 50% is enough). President Clinton\u2019s justification of \u201cfast track\u201d is\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TPP is\u00a0Emperor\u2019s New Clothes<\/i>\u2019 unconstitutional because it allows a foreign three-person tribunal chosen by the same .01% oligarch powers that created TPP to have power to tax Americans billions of our dollars for claimed \u201cdamages\u201d of corporations. These three persons appointed by TPP interests would have dictatorial power to protect corporate\u00a0claimed \u201cfuture profits.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0From\u00a0Ellen Brown<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, the highest ISDS award has been for $2.3 billion to Occidental Oil Company against the government of Ecuador over its termination of an oil-concession contract, this although the termination was apparently legal. Still in arbitration is a demand by Vattenfall, a Swedish utility that operates two nuclear plants in Germany, for compensation of \u20ac3.7 billion ($4.7 billion) under the ISDS clause of a treaty on energy investments, after the German government decided to shut down its nuclear power industry following the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
