The Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP)
Larry
Romanoff, June 01, 2023
This is without
question the most ambitious bullying project ever attempted by the Jewish
bankers in The City of London, far exceeding their attempted fascist coup on
the US government[1], or even their
looting of the gold of all the world’s nations central banks prior to World War
II. [2] This was an
enterprise designed to effectively eliminate the actual sovereignty of nation-states
and turn the world into an agglomerate of geographical puppets with no purpose
other than to serve the financial and political interests of these bankers. We
can give thanks that it failed; had it succeeded, a handful of banks and a few
hundred multi-national corporations would have had the power to rule the world.
The governments of our existing nations would have had only two purposes: (1)
tax and revenue collection for the bankers, and (2) population suppression of
the citizens unprepared to live in such an environment. As always, the US State
Department and military were functioning as “The Bankers Private Army” to
facilitate this dramatic alteration of our national landscapes. The TPP was
being promoted as an American initiative, when it was no such thing, but the
Americans were touring the world in an outrageous attempt to bully many nations
into signing this “agreement”.
In late 2013 the US
was nearing the hoped-for culmination of the so-called Trans-Pacific
Partnership which was presented as an Asian Free-Trade Agreement (the US of
course being an "Asian" country) but was in fact an astonishingly
aggressive attempt to forcibly impose commercial hegemony and a European legal
jurisdiction deep into the nations of Asia. The Americans were attempting to
bully the world into accepting a set of 'standards' in all areas of economic
and social life, Asian media containing repeated references to the
"extreme pressure" the Americans were exerting on all Asian nations
to accept all provisions of the proposed agreement. These nations were bitterly
opposed to many provisions that were presented as non-negotiable, as well as
the US attempting to force open the agricultural sectors of all countries
without any movement in opening its own heavily protected and subsidised
industry.
Moreover, all
nations were being bullied into signing the entire agreement without being able
to see its content, on the basis that some nations had already signed and
approved various sections and that all other nations must therefore accept
these portions in their entirety - sight unseen. In late 2013, US Secretary of State Kerry was attempting to strong-arm Vietnam into signing the TPP
agreements, claiming this would increase ''transparency and accountability'' in
the country, a rather bizarre claim considering the intense secrecy surrounding
every aspect of this effort.
The precise the
approach being taken on the TPP was that multi-national corporations had (or
would have from now on) a level of sovereignty surpassing that of sovereign
nations and that their interests would have a higher priority, with the result
that any government hindering the profits, or indeed any actions, of a multinational
company, for any reason, under any circumstances, would have to compensate that
firm for profits it might have made, but didn't. This would apply even in a
case where, for example a nation must reduce interest rates to boost its
economy during a time of recession. Citibank could then appeal to the
US-controlled TPP arbitration panel for compensation for lost profits, and the
government would be forced to pay.
If China decided to
subsidise the purchase of electric vehicles for the sake of long-term environmental
concerns, GM could appeal to the TPP for compensation for its lost sales of
gasoline-burning vehicles. In 2015, China imposed a ban on all imports of
poultry and eggs from the US, including live animals and breeding stock, due to
the discovery of various strains of H5N8 bird flu in both wild and farmyard
birds in several states. Twenty other countries did the same, but US media
invective was reserved for China, with Jim Sumner, President of the US Poultry
Export Council, claiming China had "absolutely no justification" for
such a ban since the bird flu discoveries were "isolated incidents"
and perhaps "hundreds of miles" from major poultry-producing areas.
The implication was clear: American chicken producers had a right to export
their birds to China, bird flu or no bird flu. Of course, if the reverse were
true, American officials would merely be exercising due prudence in protecting
their population from dangerous Chinese chickens. Under the TPP, given the
Americans' claim of 'no justification', China would have been liable to pay
hundreds of millions of dollars to American poultry producers in compensation
for their lost profits in being unable to dispose of their diseased chickens in
China.
The TPP was a bold
move by the Jewish bankers in The City of London as a final hopeful effort to
cast their net of jurisdiction and political power over much of the world. The
TPP was not a series of international agreements willingly signed by all
parties, but a program of colonisation created by a handful of Jewish bankers
who drafted the provisions and made the decisions, dictating to the world the
content of the New World Order. The TPP represented Jewish banking and
corporate domination over national and individual sovereignty, food
sovereignty, creative freedom, healthcare access and the environment, replacing
laws passed by national governments with rules developed in secret by bankers,
executed by multinational corporations unaccountable to the people affected by
them, with disputes settled by “arbitration panels” selected by the bankers –
whose rulings had no appeal - and enforced by the US military and State
Department.
While the TPP was
said to be a “US-sponsored initiative”, and while the US government was indeed
“leading” the negotiations, the TPP was neither sponsored by nor being
negotiated by the American government as such. The White House staff in this
scene were puppets driven primarily by the Jewish bankers in their quest for
world supremacy. In fact, the American "government" - the elected
members of the House of Representatives and the Senate - were not even
permitted to view the agreements. The TPP was being negotiated entirely without
their knowledge or approval. Hundreds of members signed a petition to
then-President Obama protesting the nature in which this agreement was being
implemented, but to no avail.
After years of
attempts by members of Congress to even see the TPP, only one congressman, Alan
Grayson, was able to review only a few selected portions of the agreement, but
the Obama administration declared the content "classified" and a
"matter of national security", and threatened Grayson with criminal
charges if he attempted to reveal any of the content. Even then, he was
permitted to view the document only in a private room where computers, mobile
phones, cameras and even pencil and paper were forbidden. Grayson characterized
the TPP as an "assault on democratic government", a runaway abuse of
power by the federal government and yet another use of the police state secrecy
tactics that had already made the American government utterly unaccountable to
the people. Six hundred American and European Zionist (primarily Jewish)
"corporate advisors" had input into the TPP, but the draft text has
not been made available to the public nor to the media or elected policy
makers. The level of secrecy around this agreement was unparalleled, with the
nation's own representatives - the elected US government - being kept entirely
in the dark.
The most
frightening provisions of the TPP agreements was that they were perpetual -
they would never expire - and could not be repealed or altered by the
individual nations foolish enough to have signed them. The repeal provision
stated that the TPP rules could be altered only by agreement of all signatories
to the document. Note that it does not state "all signatories except the
US". Since the US is one of the signatories, any repeal or amendment would
require the agreement of the US, which of course would never be forthcoming.
This restriction would remain true regardless of changes in future governments,
changes in public opinion, or more dramatic, proven concerns about food safety
or national security. Those documents were being presented simply as
"trade agreements" but they were no such thing. They would serve to
function in precisely the same way as did Paul Bremer's “Provisional Orders” in
Iraq, the superimposition onto all signatory nations a series of perpetual laws
with such high standing they could not be repealed by any subsequent
government. This TPP agreement, its provisions and arbitration, were
superordinate to any national government or its Supreme Courts.
Those agreements,
being removed entirely from the realm of public control, would have had an
automatic power to overturn decades of laws and regulations in every nation.
The Jewish designers and promoters of those agreements were doing their best to
dispel fear of the obvious dangers, but their claims attracted mostly ridicule.
EU "trade spokesman" John Clancy said fears were entirely unwarranted,
claiming that the (undefined) "status quo" is at the heart of all
problems, with the TPP's so-called investment protection regulations (ISDS)
"closing loopholes and improving transparency" while creating
"modern, state-of-the art investment arrangements". He offered no
explanation of how the status quo was problematic, nor did he try to explain
why modern nations required these so-called "state-of-the art investment
arrangements". Another spokesman assured that "Investment protection
provisions do not limit the ability of states to make or repeal any law or
regulation", but those claims were outright lies.
One of the key
issues was the provision for Investor-state dispute settlements, or ISDS. Those
provisions were included in other trade agreements to provide compensation for
losses to an investor caused if a government reneged on some portion of the
agreement, but these have proven controversial, and have often been applied by
corporations well outside their intended purpose, used by large multinational
companies to sue governments acting in their own public interest. For example,
the Philip Morris tobacco company sued the Australian government for
restricting promotional packaging on cigarettes, and Canada was being sued by
the pharma firm Eli Lily for revoking drug patents that were apparently issued
on false evidence. In all these cases, regardless of the merit of a
government's position, and of its sovereign right to pass whatever legislation
it deemed desirable, these firms demand payment for the loss of future profits
as if those profits were a right granted to them by God regardless even of
criminality or other serious matters. Moreover, the settlement of these issues
was designed to entirely bypass the local judicial systems and domestic laws,
and would be decided by unaccountable "investor tribunals" composed
of the same Jews or their representatives, that would pay little heed to
national considerations.
In October of 2014,
George Monbiot reported in The Guardian that if the EU agreed to the terms of
the same TPP, it would suppress the ability of all European governments to put
their own public interest ahead of the profits of foreign multinational
corporations. His example was that it would expose individual governments to
cases like that of El Salvador where "an Australian company is suing the
government before a closed tribunal of corporate lawyers for $300m (nearly half
the country’s annual budget) in potential profits foregone. Why? Because El
Salvador refused permission for a gold mine that would poison people’s drinking
water." This is the true condition that would universally emerge from this
misbegotten, greed-driven plan.
The European
Commission insisted the TPP would include safeguards to prevent corporate
misuse and guarantee the right of European governments to "pursue
legitimate public policy objectives such as social, environmental, security,
public health and safety" without the risk of being sued. But this was
false. The arbitration panels were not accountable to anyone except
privately to their Jewish masters, and would have no incentive to bow to
any country's fundamental issues of national interest when making decisions.
Disputes between governments and foreign corporations should be decided by a
nation's courts and judges, but the ISDS system in the TPP is a one-way street
where foreign corporations can challenge domestic government policies, but the
agreements give neither governments nor individuals any right to hold those
corporations accountable. This was a frightening attempt to remove from
national jurisdiction, in fact to remove from the government of a nation, all
control over a vast array of legislation covering entirely the areas in which
foreign multinationals relate to governments. In fact, these agreements gave
multinational firms wide-ranging powers to sue governments that adopt public
policies deemed to "discriminate" against free trade, regardless of other
more important considerations. In signing these TPP agreements, nations would
in fact be surrendering a vast amount of their sovereignty to American and
Jewish multinationals - in perpetuity.
While it was
technically true that states would retain the power to create or alter
legislation, it was also true that any such contemplated move could have proven
so prohibitively costly as to be impossible to implement. The TPP contained
punishing enforcement provisions totally under the control of the multinational
corporations that would have given them an unprecedented right to demand
taxpayer compensation for any policies that these corporations considered a
barrier to their profits. "Under this regime, multi-national corporations
could skirt domestic courts and laws, bypass national judicial systems
altogether, and could sue governments directly before tribunals where the
"judges" consist of three private sector Jewish-appointed corporate
lawyers, where they could demand taxpayer compensation for any domestic law
that they believed would diminish their expected future profits."
Consider the case
of China, where the Americans have exerted great pressure on both the Central
and local governments to permit privately-owned healthcare and educational
facilities. If China's government subsequently concludes these operations are
not proving to be in the nation's best interest, the door is already closed. In
theory, China would have retained the power to pass new regulations or laws
restricting this area, but in so doing, it would have to compensate every
foreign multinational involved in any sense in the healthcare field in China,
for the loss of the entire future profit stream of its enterprises, in
perpetuity. Similarly, China's Central government is strongly resisting the
establishment of GM seed and GM food in the country. And while China would
theoretically retain the ability to regulate or eliminate this time bomb from
within its borders, if it should attempt to do so, it would have to pay
Monsanto the present value of all its lost profits indefinitely into the
future. This means the government of China would have to collect sufficient
extra money in taxes - from the citizens of China - to pay Monsanto all the
money it would have earned forever into the future had it been able to remain
in the country and control most of China's food supply. And this financial
obligation remains true regardless of any subsequent proven health, medical,
military or other dangers, or the risks to a nation's food supply or national
security. And the "court" where Monsanto would sue China to
collect its money, would be composed of three so-called judges who would be
Jewish lawyers, quite possibly Monsanto's lawyers.
In reality, the TPP
was a wish list, a backroom deal, a massive worldwide corporate power grab by
the Jews in The City of London, for their industries and banks. The TPP was not
about free trade, nor about trade at all. Of the 29 Chapters that formed the
agreement, only 5 dealt with trade in any form. The entire remaining content
consisted of a bold attempt to enshrine enormous legal rights and commercial
privileges for US and Jewish-owned multinational corporations and banks while
simultaneously weakening the power of nation states to restrict or oppose them.
The TPP was nothing less than the deep extension of sovereignty, under legal
jurisdiction into other nations, in effect replacing and superseding all manner
of laws and standards already existing in these other nations, and giving way
to the arbitrary laws and commercial provisions of the TPP.
National
sovereignty in areas of food, communications, IP protection, Internet freedom,
pharmaceuticals, health care, derivatives trading, copyright issues, food
safety, environmental standards, civil liberties and much more, would have been
entirely subjugated to Jewish multi-national commercial and political
interests. The TPP would have inserted these greedy standards, policies and
values far more deeply into all of Asia and Europe, in preparation for the
emerging New World Order economic system. This was an attempt to re-order the
economic structure of all nations to suit the best interests of the Jews. The
TPP proposals granted enormous freedom and powers to the bankers, financiers
and corporations, attempting to transplant control over the economies and
financial systems of all Asian and European nations to this same small group of
individuals.
TPP sponsors
proposed to control the entire Internet, not only dictating standards but
monitoring and policing all user activity in all nations, beyond the control of
local governments. The TPP would have forced all local ISPs to conduct
full-scale monitoring and espionage, or to permit the US (the NSA or Mossad, in
fact) to conduct it, with full power for enforcement, punishment, imprisonment
of local citizens in any nation, and to remove individuals from the internet
altogether. The TPP provisions even claimed the right of its tribunals to
automatically bypass local governments and punish by criminal sanction –
entirely on their own authority - any ISP in any nation that violated their
interests.
Starting on January
2022, alert consumers may have noticed labels on some foods that say
"bioengineered" or "derived from bioengineering," per new
federal standards.

S. Warren/AP
The TPP proposed to
take control of domestic labor regulations, workplace safety standards, social
welfare regulations, all food standards, and much more, removing them from the
control of domestic governments by superseding domestic laws. It attempted to
control the nature and delivery of health care to citizens in all nations. It
would even have been able to control public access to these essential services,
based on the dictates of the Jewish bankers. And it attempted to dictate to the
entire world the policies and content of every matter dealing with copyrights
and patents, all designed only to serve these Jewish corporations and their
best interests. Under the TPP, the labeling and identification of GM seed
and food was to be forbidden. GM seed and foods would have to be permitted and
grown without restriction in all nations, ignoring the threat to a nation's
food supply, the serious environmental and health concerns, and the obvious
military dangers of weaponised GM seed. Generic drugs and medications would
have all but disappeared and all State-Owned Enterprises would have been
forbidden in Asia.
"Fair
use" copyright material would have been banned, and many civil actions
would have become criminal offenses. On this latter point, countries would have
reverted to the past atrocity of “debtor’s prisons”, using the domestic police
and courts as the Jews’ bill collectors. This is actually already occurring in
the US, where the police are in some cases acting as bill collectors. The
process is simple: if a citizen delays or refuses to pay a bill or debt of any
kind, the police simply re-classify it as “a theft of services” and it
magically becomes a criminal rather than a civil offense. And now you go to
jail for not paying your VISA bill or your student loan.
If it had been
implemented, the TPP would have hugely affected the lives of citizens in all
participating countries. It would have stripped local governments in all
nations of the power to regulate transnational corporate activities. In
each Chapter, the TPP actually prohibited a member nation from passing any laws
that were not "consistent with the provisions of this Chapter". The
TPP provisions would have over-ridden domestic laws on both trade and non-trade
matters, subordinating domestic courts and even international legal standards
to the very small number of Jews who would appoint and control the TPP
tribunals. The TPP would have inserted itself so deeply into a nation's
laws that it would even have controlled the separation of criminal and civil
matters; on IP infringement, for example, even simply copying of a song or a
page for personal use, would have been a felony requiring imprisonment for what
is now in most nations simply a civil matter. The Jews were attempting to
forcibly export these draconian - and reprehensibly anti-consumer - laws into
the societies of all nations.
The
Pharmaceutical and Health Industries
On pharmaceuticals,
Natural News stated the following: "The intellectual property provisions
of the TPP are also a big handout to Big Pharma. They allow American (primarily
Jewish-owned) drug companies to shut down generic drug manufacturers in Asian
nations that were currently keeping medication costs low. Under the TPP,
drug companies like Merck would be able to enforce global monopoly pricing,
even across poor nations where the costs of a month's medications would exceed
monthly income. The IP intent was to strengthen their aggressive patent
regime and force foreign countries to comply with it, but it went much farther.
The IP controls on pharmaceuticals would have provided firms (again, almost
entirely Jewish-owned) with virtually perpetual patents while severely
restricting the use of domestic or generic medications, which would have
resulted in much higher health care costs and would have had adverse effects on
the health care of many nations." These same people are now patenting
surgical procedures, and the TPP would have expected all nations to pay
royalties or license fees each time they performed surgical operations on their
own citizens. The TPP contained dozens of measures that would have
limited competition of pharmaceutical firms, and would have dramatically raised
prices of medications.
Indeed, all the TPP
proposals were outrageously sociopathic, consistently trying to bully through
measures that would have made all medications more expensive and less
accessible. As well, the proposals would have created new global legal norms
that would have permitted these firms and bankers to win huge damage awards
against any government that refused to embrace the TPP's fiercely anti-consumer
practices. These tactics were an integral and very dangerous part of the
proposed TPP. What this means in simple terms is this: If Merck Pharma
wanted to create a second version of its Vioxx that could potentially kill
millions of Chinese, but China's government refused to permit that medication
to be sold, Merck could make a similar claim and the Chinese government would
have to pay Merck US$10 billion each year in compensation for its lost profits.
This is far more
serious than you might imagine, because the twisted mentality emerging from the
TPP has been incubating for decades and is already a cornerstone of US
commercial foreign policy. Consider the US position on prescription
medications: First, we already know that medications cost far more in the US
than in any other nation because the US pharma companies bullied Congress into
making illegal the negotiation of lower prices for the nation's entire health
care service, meaning Americans must pay whatever unreasonable prices these
firms demand, and are also forbidden from using generic medications. But now
try to follow this reasoning:
In what can be
categorised only as bizarre and greed-driven convoluted thinking, the US
government and its pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers have adopted
the position that US drug prices are high because US consumers are subsidising
costs that the pharma companies cannot recover from consumers in other
countries. According to the theory, this occurs because many other countries
like China and Canada use their bulk-purchasing power to negotiate lower drug
prices, and therefore the governments and people of these other nations are
having a free ride on the backs of US consumers. The position - extolled in all
its insane wonder by AmCham - further states that these governments, including
China and Canada, must either (1) totally deregulate their medications market
to permit US firms to charge the highest prices possible, or (2) raise the
taxes on all medications and devices by an amount equal to the difference
between their low negotiated cost and the US prices, and pay those taxes
directly to the US pharma companies. The pharma companies claim this money
received would then "fairly compensate" US consumers - who of course
would never see the money.
The arrogance and
greed involved in such a position are alarming if not actually frightening. The
Jewish-controlled pharmaceutical industry is claiming an absolute God-given
right to charge extortionate prices for their products and, if a government
refuses this "right", then it must calculate the "losses"
these firms have suffered by not being able to extort these prices, must then
collect that money in taxes from the population and forward that money as
compensation to the Jewish firms. If this isn't a perfect example of the
Satan-worshippers in The City of London being overcome by blind greed, I can't
imagine what would be.
The Financial
Industry
It was the same
with the financial industry; the Jews attempting to impose their own
unregulated financial standards onto the entire world, to the extent that if a
nation took any steps to try to regulate these financial outlaws or the
industry in which they operate, or if a country attempted to evict the
international bankers and establish a public (government-owned) central bank to
represent the nation's interests, the country could be sued in the same so-called
"courts" at the risk of potentially trillions of dollars in
compensation awards. Among other things, the TPP would have forbidden
prohibitions or regulations on risky financial products, including the same
toxic derivatives that caused the massive 2008 US financial crisis.
The Food
Industry
Total control over
a nation's food supply was at stake with the TPP, a direct assault against the
food sovereignty of nations, where the profits of multinational companies were
placed ahead of the food security needs of individual nations. The TPP was
based on the premise that food is just another commodity subject to speculation
solely to increase the profits of multinational corporations. Under the TPP,
most nations would have been forced to sacrifice their food sovereignty to the
commercial rights of companies like Monsanto. The TPP was designed to help
(primarily Jewish) agribusiness become far larger and more powerful and to
consolidate IP ownership of the worldwide food system, from the seeds to the
eventual retail products. The TPP would have granted automatic power to
agribusiness firms like Monsanto, Cargill, Syngenta and Dupont, to sue
countries for trying to limit the kinds of food they imported or for having
domestic food safety standards that limited imports like Monsanto's GM seed
crops. Agribusiness firms would have been able to dictate food safety
standards and regulations in all countries signing the TPP, forcing them under
threat of heavy penalties to permit the import of substandard meat and vegetable
products as well as GM seed and food for which proper labeling would have been
prohibited.
Monsanto has always
been a Jewish company, and the chief agricultural negotiator for the TPP was
the former Monsanto lobbyist, Islam Siddique, so it isn't a surprise that the
TPP prohibited all nations from banning genetically-modified organisms of any
kind. It was similar with environmental and financial regulation or
deregulation; the TPP provisions designed by this small group would have taken
precedence over all national laws. Food safety, from GM seed to Mad Cow
Disease, food labeling, would all have passed from domestic control to the
arbiters of the TPP. The TPP contained many regulations affecting food
systems and food safety, and procurement rules specifically forbade
discrimination based on the quality of production, meaning that nations would
have been forced to accept substandard shipments of agricultural products,
regardless of local laws or food safety and health standards.
As an indication of
the bitter truth that national sovereignty is already nearly a corpse because
our politicians are all "bought and paid for", Canada's
tragically-corrupt Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said the deal will give
Canada "preferential access to half a billion consumers in the world's
most dynamic and fast-growing market a move that will strengthen Canadian
businesses, grow the economy, and create more well-paying jobs for middle class
Canadians." [3] If only Canadians
knew the truths of their own government. In fact, Justin Trudeau is famous for
saying that Canada is the world's first "post-national state."[4] When did treason
become praiseworthy?
As I wrote at the
outset, we are fortunate indeed, perhaps due to Divine Providence, that this
reprehensible project failed. Had it succeeded, we would be doomed.
