Trade in Services Agreement (TISA)
I went to Wikileaks awhile back, looking for some good news (you guys know), and I found this, definitely news, but not good. Trade in Services Agreement, TISA for short.
"This corporatisation of public services - to nearly the same extent as demanded by the recently signed TPP - is a next step to privatisation of SOEs on the neoliberal agenda behind the "Big Three" (TTIP,TiSA,TPP)."
This is supposed to be the "biggie" of the three, and Wiki has been posting about it since May. Of course, it's a big secret, just like the others. Somewhere I read that it's the "crown jewel" of the three. Of course, the US is square in the middle. They are selling off our whole country, and not a word to any of us. Maybe I missed this, but have not heard anything about it until this. As far as I know, Bernie hasn't mentioned it. If Obama thinks TPP is his "gold standard", I wonder what his word is for this one. How can we get this brought up at the convention?

Thanks for opportunity for more discussion on this.
Common Dreams had this a while back:
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Lol, they understated. Under
Lol, they understated. Under all of these unconstitutional and rapidly suicidal Trojan Horse corporate coup 'trade bills' we - the citizens of the world - will have no rights and exist only to maximize corporate profits while we survive.
Luckily, that won't be long - these parasites have never had a problem with killing off their hosts and Earth's natural life-support system on which life depends.
Vote against both evils - keep Berning! Barring a Bernie miracle, vote Green!
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Wow!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to do more homework.

You're welcome
It sounds like this one is the big daddy. People all over Europe are holding up signs denouncing these things, but here, most people know nothing about them, thanks to our "journalists". Obama's got TPP all ready to go the minute the election is over. These things are so absurd, it's like we are living in the twilight zone. Thanks for the information, divineorder, I need to find out more. It gets more clear each day that the person we put in the White House is little more than a good actor. At any rate, I guess what we need to do now is to spread the word about what he's really about, and these monstrous "trade" agreements just dismiss the Constitution. Greed is greed, but are these people insane? Do they not have children? No matter how much money they all have, the end result is that the earth will be destroyed for them, too. It is very very clear now that none of them will do a thing to even slow this climate change down. How sad, to be so morally bankrupt.
