And totally ignoring the fact that the US is a capitalistic
free market country and Europe, for the most part, has turned socialist NOT only
in how it governs its people but also in how it operates its independent
governments, yesterday Obama, European Commission President Barroso, and
European Council President Van Rompuy, jointly announced that the US and the EU
(European Union) will start putting together the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership (TTIP), will meet in DC in the beginning of July, and will work
under the auspices of the Office of the US Trade Representative to get it done.
So
the bottom line is that TTIP would be more monetarily
advantageous for Europe (adding around 0.5% to the EU's annual economic
output) than it would be for America, for while it would allow certain
tariffs, customs procedures, and behind the border regulatory
restrictions to be done away with, thus making American goods somewhat
easier to sell in Europe, the real goal
is
for the EU and US to meld many of their regulations and standards, thus
laying down the foundation for creating global standards (standards
that might be lower than ours) as world
economic policy.
America's sovereignty trumps the almighty dollar
By: Diane Sori
Cutting to the chase...we have NO cohesive foreign or economic policies in place...neither
dealing with 'those out to kill us' or those out to bankrupt or sponge off us. Our policies seem to ebb and flow on the whims
of this miserable excuse of a president and have NO substance behind them...and sometimes
are outright unconstitutional.
And the ongoing Northern Ireland G8 Summit will bring all
this to ahead for while the focus will be on the Syrian conflict and the
meeting between the wars proxies, Barack HUSSEIN Obama and Russian President Vladamir
Putin, other agendas are on the table but agendas NOT getting the media attention
they so need.
While we're all well aware of Obama's
foreign policy failures that include 'aiding and abetting' our country's
enemies, his global economic failures, differing from his domestic economic
failures yet somewhat linked together, are NOT so in-your-face. As a man who is trying to surrender America's sovereignty
to the architects and supporters of the New World Order and Agenda 21, thankfully
our Congress has prevented him from doing so...at least up until this point. However, Obama has now joined European
leaders in pushing the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP), a supposed trade agreement for combining the economies and political
structures of Europe and the US.
Claiming TTIP will help solve the world's current economic crises, the
reality is that TTIP involves more than simply trade as it's been designed to
force the US into 'regional governance' on differing issues.
In other words, getting us involved in things we have NO
business being involved in nor do 'We the People' want to be involved in.
What Obama forgets is that the EU began as an economic and
trade pact alone but that over the years has turned into a full-blown, all-encompassing
national government whose agenda includes wiping out the national sovereignty
of its member nations...something that they will most assuredly try to do to our
country if we sign on to this...and Obama knows this very well but America's
sovereignty is NOT something he cares about and would give away at the drop of
a hat.
And while the purpose of TTIP seems well and fine on the surface,
as its 'supposed' goal is to increase economic growth in the US and the EU by
creating a trading bloc greater than NAFTA, by doing so it would also delve into
public policy areas...into areas most people do NOT think applies to trade like
personal freedoms...and that is very scary indeed especially coming on top of the
current NSA spying on the American public scandal.
TTIP would also rework almost every current US regulatory
law, creating a single set of standards for a global marketplace covering half
the world’s GDP, and would have us lowering our standards to meet the majority
of nations lower standards...NOT good...NOT good at all.
And most times international trade agreements are negotiated
by bureaucrats who have more in common with each other than with the working class
people in the countries they represent...and this is especially true for
Europe. And too much power in the hands
of negotiators is dangerous, because negotiators in trade agreements are known
for becoming lobbyists for their respective country's business interests instead of being proponents
for what said country's people want, or how those interests affect the other countries
involved.
Also, TTIP calls for 'investor-state' dispute resolution
to solve problems that might arise, which means large corporations can file
lawsuits to prevent government actions they just don't like...such as critical
health and safety regulations...just like the World Trade Organization does,
and again that is NOT good as corporate heads will control the regulations, and
countries like the US and Britain would be forced to lower their standards if
it would settle a dispute.
So
the bottom line is that TTIP would be more monetarily
advantageous for Europe (adding around 0.5% to the EU's annual economic
output) than it would be for America, for while it would allow certain
tariffs, customs procedures, and behind the border regulatory
restrictions to be done away with, thus making American goods somewhat
easier to sell in Europe, the real goal
is
for the EU and US to meld many of their regulations and standards, thus
laying down the foundation for creating global standards (standards
that might be lower than ours) as world
economic policy.
Global standards NOT American standards for America...meaning New World Order standards...meaning we
would lose something our Constitution was written to prevent us from ever losing...our
sovereignty in deciding what's best for America and America alone, and that
trumps any and everything else.
Hear that Obama, 'We the People' want NO part of your march
towards New World Order, economic or otherwise, as America's sovereignty staying
intact is something that means more than the almighty dollar.
