Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) - Threat To National Sovereignty

Click here to access article by Dr. Chandra Muzaffar from Land Destroyer Report.

Here is another rather brief report of the effects of the Empire's attempt to integrate within its orbit the Pacific area nations to further its neoliberal agenda.

Of course, China is not invited for the obvious reason that they represent a threat to US world dominance. Russia likewise is not invited to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership meetings that the Empire is using in an effort to integrate the nations of the European Union. Yes, it's all about the Empire's capitalist players aggressively continuing their pursuit of dominance over the world and over their own nation's laws and regulations.
