Update: of course, we got this story from
another source (the much despised 'Huffington Post') but Midknight Review is
one of the first to carry it as a part of its daily storyline. The
deception implicit with two years of secret trade negotiations and deals
(who knows what or if any deals have been made) and the charge that POLITICAL
POWERS have been given to multinational corporations, is mind boggling
. . . . . . . . with it this with the advice and consent of anyone
who represents the "people." "Two years" puts this clandestine
and subversive operation back into early 2010 or late 2009; which means
that Obama and his One World subversives have been involved with the violation
of U.S. sovereignty from the very beginning of his administration of
office.

From Huffington: WASHINGTON -- A critical document from President
Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked
online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to
bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations,
contradicting prior promises.
The leaked document has been posted on the website of
Public Citizen, a long-time critic of the administration's trade objectives.
The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the
talks, in which some members of Congresshave complained they are not being
given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive.
"The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may
well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these
past two years of [trade] negotiations," said Lori Wallach, director of
Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in a written statement.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has been so incensed by the
lack of access as to introduce legislation requiring further disclosure.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has gone so far as
to leak a separate document from the talkson his website.
Other Senators are considering writing a letter to Ron Kirk, the top trade
negotiator under Obama, demanding more disclosure. . . . . read the rest of the disturbing article, here.
