Uh Oh. But Happy Thanksgiving, too! :-/ ----------- The TPP and International Corporate Control As the devastating conclusions of these and other researchers awaken people globally to the dangers of Roundup and GMO foods, transnational corporations are working feverishly with the Barack Obama administration to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement that would strip governments of the power to regulate transnational corporate activities. Negotiations have been kept secret from the US Congress but not from corporate advisors, 600 of whom have been consulted and know the details. .... If ratified the TPP would impose punishing regulations that give multinational corporations unprecedented right to demand taxpayer compensation for policies that corporations deem a barrier to their profits. ...... They are carefully crafting the TPP to insure that citizens of the involved countries have no control over food safety, what they will be eating, where it is grown, the conditions under which food is grown and the use of herbicides and pesticides. **The Transnational Corporation will be able to SUE THE GOVERNMENT of any country that seeks to regulate its activity.**
