Trans Pacific Partnership
"If you want to hear the details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the Obama administration is hoping to pass, you’ve got to be a member of Congress, and you’ve got to go to classified briefings and leave your staff and cellphone at the door.
If you’re a member who wants to read the text, you’ve got to go to a room in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center and be handed it one section at a time, watched over as you read, and forced to hand over any notes you make before leaving.
And no matter what, you can’t discuss the details of what you’ve read.
“It’s like being in kindergarten,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), who’s become the leader of the opposition to President Barack Obama’s trade agenda. “You give back the toys at the end.”
For those out to sink Obama’s free trade push, highlighting the lack of public information is becoming central to their opposition strategy: The White House isn’t even telling Congress what it’s asking for, they say, or what it’s already promised foreign governments."
I"m sorry, but is this going to be like Net Neutrality? Or ObamaCare? You have to pass it to read it?
Uhhhh with all the hidden dangers in it's predecessors, I want this WHOLE thing published in full with any and ALL notes, suggestions including who offered them, which country/nation wants what, offers what. I want to know it A-L-L.
The only reason I can think of for so much secrecy is that it is something that will, in the words of President Obama "Fundamentally Transform" America.
I'm sorry, but I LIKED my country the way it was before he tried to "Fundamentally Transform" it.
Granted there were a few things that needed improvement as technology and lifestyles change, almost everything needs to be tweaked.
Tweaked, NOT torn down and rebuilt with very little semblance to what was there in the first place.
And THAT is what Obama and his Minions have been doing for Obama's Overlords.
Think about that.
And like they said on the X-Files,, the truth is out there.
And so is the evidence, if you get to it before it goes down the memory hole.

FCC Approves new Regulations
"The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday adopted sweeping new regulations sought by President Obama for how Americans use and do business on the Internet, in a party-line vote that is sure to be challenged by the broadband industry.
The commission, following a contentious meeting, voted 3-2 to adopt its so-called net neutrality plan -- a proposal that remained secret in the run-up to the final vote.
On its surface, the plan is aimed at barring service providers from creating paid "fast lanes" on the Internet, which consumer advocates and Internet companies worry would edge out cash-strapped startups and smaller Internet-based businesses. Chairman Tom Wheeler said it would ensure an "open, unfettered network."
But the rules, more broadly, would put the Internet in the same regulatory camp as the telephone by classifying it like a public utility, meaning providers like Comcast or Verizon would have to act in the "public interest" when providing a mobile connection to your home or phone."
Be prepared for the FEC and the SEC and all the other ..C agencies and branches of the government taking a closer interest in any on-line content. In the phrasing, above you see the two words in quotes "Public Interest" which means that they can regulate content that they deem to be detrimental to the "Public Interest". It also opens up the door for the government to develop new "Income Streams" through new taxes, and possibly requiring permits or licenses to do things like my little blog here. Or my Blog Talk Radio Show which I need to reboot.
Keep your eyes open, this is JUST the beginning.
