The Rising of the Beast: TPP is the Planned Communist Utopian Dream

(Before It's News)

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and its agent of tyrannical empowerment, the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) exists today as the most overt and sinister example of the Communist utopian dream of a one world government.

The “conspiracy theory” detailing the establishment of a “New World Order” where national sovereignty, the destruction of the middle class and ultimate enslavement of all people except the global elite remains a conspiracy, but is no longer a theory to be ridiculed. Its final stages are being put into place for all to see, or at least those who have eliminated the corporate media from their daily diet of disinformation, deception and distortion.

Due in large part to a media captured and controlled by global corporate interests, and the unabashed secrecy that surrounds this “trade” agreement, most people are in the dark about the intent and consequences of the TPP and the TPA. Moreover, there is deliberate obfuscation of the terms being used and the insincere attempts to legitimize the need for the TPA, which was once known as “Fast Track Negotiating Authority.”

Although the TPP is being constructed in secret and disclosure of its contents is a criminal offense, it would seem reasonable to argue that no one knows exactly what it contains. That is only partially true.  There have been several leaks and allegations by those privy to the voluminous document that it extends well beyond trade and is more of an international treaty that will adversely impact our national sovereignty and individual rights.

The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) is being promoted as a measure that will compel the President into compliance and transparency with Congress, and, ultimately, the American people. At least that’s the reason given by presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, for example, a proponent of the TPA, as cited by his campaign and echoed by his supporters. But is this assertion accurate, or is it being used to justify the transference of power and facilitate a global government?

Clarifying the Terminology: TPP and TPA

The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA): The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was created by the Nixon administration (along with globalist Henry Kissinger) as a temporary yet extremely controversial transfer of authority from the Congress to the President, giving the President the power and authority to negotiate international agreements. Fast Track Negotiating Authority, as it was formerly known, prohibits Congress from amending (or filibustering) any trade deal created by the President. It was first written into the Trade Act of 1974, Section 151–154 (19 U.S.C. 2191–2194) and passed by Congress. Set to expire in 1980, it was extended for another eight years under the Trade Agreements Act of 1979.

In 1988, the Fast Track Negotiating Authority was renewed again, this time serving as the mechanism that ushered in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and ultimately the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).  Note that this was the general time period of the George H.W. Bush administration.

Perhaps most importantly and arguably most significant push of the TPA was by George W. Bush, who continued his father’s “New World Order” legacy by making Fast Track part of his campaign platform in 2000. Early during his first term, Bush spoke at the Council of the Americas (May 2001), a group founded by globalist David Rockefeller in 1965. It is relevant, if not critical to note that Henry Kissinger (via Kissinger McLarty Associates) is a member of the Council of the Americas, a group that was instrumental in getting the TPA passed again through Congress. The Fast Track Authority passed the House by a mere three votes at 3:30 a.m. on July 27, 2002, the Senate on August 1, 2002, as part of the Trade Act of 2002.

Established for five years, it expired in 2007, except for negotiations that were continuing under the act while it was in effect. It officially ended in 2011, at which time Obama began pushing for its renewal despite his vocal opposition to the authority as a candidate.

It is important to note that Fast Track Negotiating Authority is considered to be such an extreme ceding of power from the legislative branch to the executive branch of government that it has only been used 16 times during its history and during the history of the United States. It has also been renamed from Fast Track to the current Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for the sake of political propriety.
