Wiki-Leaks Issues Call for $100,000 Bounty Reward on Monster Trade Treaty: The TPP! Good Video Watch

[KoKo]

Today WikiLeaks has launched a campaign to crowd-source a $100,000 reward for America’s Most Wanted Secret: the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP).

Over the last two years WikiLeaks has published three chapters of this super-secret global deal, despite unprecedented efforts by negotiating governments to keep it under wraps. US Senator Elizabeth Warren has said

"They can’t make this deal public because if the American people saw what was in it, they would be opposed to it."

The remaining 26 chapters of the deal are closely held by negotiators and the big corporations that have been given privilleged access. Today, WikiLeaks is taking steps to bring about the public’s rightful access to the missing chapters of this monster trade pact.

The TPP is the largest agreement of its kind in history: a multi-trillion dollar international treaty being negotiated in secret by the US, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia and 7 other countries. The treaty aims to create a new international legal regime that will allow transnational corporations to bypass domestic courts, evade environmental protections, police the internet on behalf of the content industry, limit the availability of affordable generic medicines, and drastically curtail each country’s legislative sovereignty.

The TPP bounty also heralds the launch of WikiLeaks new competition system, which allows the public to pledge prizes towards each of the world’s most wanted leaks. For example, members of the public can now pledge on the missing chapters of the TPP.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said,

"The transparency clock has run out on the TPP. No more secrecy. No more excuses. Let’s open the TPP once and for all."

Note: The TPP is also noteworthy as the icebreaker agreement for the giant proposed ’T-treaty triad’ of TPP-TISA-TTIP which extends TPP style rules to 53 nations, 1.6 billion people and 2/3rds of the global economy.

1. Could donating to this make you an accessory?

Just wondering.

2. I read this today...I salute their effort...why is TPP secret? It's no "trade" agreement, that was

to gain "fast track" as though it was something good for the people. Reality checks are coming...for the corrupt...the revolving doors need to be slammed shut permanently.

All of Congress needs a good ass kicking out of office for sitting on their collective asses. & voting a fast track option for this monstrosity. Only those who voted against it should get a pass.

2016 is going to bring a day of reckoning for these political douche bags that hand everything over for money & greed. They have delivered an oligarchy.

On the bright side, nothing is going to unite this country into getting off of their butts & demanding change like TPP.

3. I am currently in Portland, OR

And there are ads on all channels from the Oregon Wine industry, telling Oregon how good the TPP will be for Oregon, the industries and jobs!

Yaaaa...right.

I've wondered if the industry met with President Obama when he did his rah-rah speech at Nike.

I'm getting a gut feeling that this is going to a very bad thing for average Americans.
