TPP: Phony Trade Treaty with only 5 of 29 Chapters about Trade When is a trade deal not a trade deal? It is not a trade deal, treaty or ‘agreement’ when the bulk of the ‘deal’ is not about trade. With only five of the twenty-nine chapters demonstrating any substantive relevance to trade, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) should not be viewed as a necessary trade agreement currently being victimized by conspiracy theorists. The question of why metaphorical rhetoric invoking job-creating trade has painted a multinational corporate interest favoring treaty, should be questioned. It must be questioned.

It is happening right now, and it may already be too late to stop it. As of this writing, details of the TPP are few, sketchy, and difficult to acquire from traditional mass media sources. What little has been brought forward from reputable sources, requires some internet savvy and a world politics perspective to hunt down and cross reference against political party rhetoric and spins. Make no mistake, TPP is not a necessary trade agreement being victimized by conspiracy theorists, it is simply the private profit engines of the world doing what they have always done — serve up profit to the wealthy entitled few. At issue are the potentially devastating effects of the TPP on a largely unsuspecting global citizenry. Great care has been taken in the TPP framing process to ensure there is a phasing in of treaty elements so that these effects will not be widely seen, or felt, until it is far too late to do anything to change the game without crippling monetary consequences. By the time the general public is painfully aware, there will be no peaceful actions available to their various governments and organizations to reverse the consequences of this ‘trade treaty’.

Given this co-authorship of a multinational treaty with multinational corporate entities — likely the first ever treaty to involve private sector interests directly — it is little wonder that steps were taken early to limit the representatives of the American public’s constituencies to a yes or no vote. One cannot dispute the capability of the American public to invoke its will through its various tiers of elected representatives. With American voices rendered powerless, rendering remaining signatory nations passive eunuch voices for their respective national needs, and wants, can easily be viewed as little more than a natural nod to standard due diligence to ensure ultimate success for the authors.
Sovereignty on labor, immigration and the environment are at high risk thanks to all nations accepting the TPP. Human Rights, Digital Security, Intellectual Property, Public Healthcare and more, will all be at the mercy of corporate needs and wants. Corporations, not nations have the monetary clout to arrest or push to win court rulings in the inevitable lawsuits protecting multinational corporate ‘possible future profits’.
We are entering an era of entrenched profit rights that will ultimately render human rights null and void. The most benign
