Now We Know Why Huge TPP Trade Deal Is Kept Secret From the Public
If you read Boggart Abroad, Boggart Blog or The Daily Stirrer you will know all about the evil twins TPP and TTIP, we have been warning you about the iniquitous 'free trade' treaties being pushed by the Obama Administration, the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and its equally evil twin, the Trans Pacific Partnership. These treaties are not about free trade in the conventional sense, but freeing Corporate Businesses to do what they like without hinderance or restriction from national governments or consumer protection groups.
We haven't been the only ones, most of the 'Alternative Media' have been on the case. In mainstream media however there has been hardly a murmur about how these treaties would enable corporate lawyers to sue governments and overturn laws pertaining to consumer protection, workers rights and trading standards and to sue governments if the corporate bosses felt their right to steal taxpayers and consumers money was being restricted.
Well it looks as if mainstream media are waking up at last:
from Huffington Post
Now We Know Why Huge TPP Trade Deal Is Kept Secret From the Public
A key section of the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement has been leaked to the public. The New York Times has a major story on the contents of the leaked chapter, and it's as bad as many of us feared.
Now we know why the corporations and the Obama administration want the TPP, a huge "trade" agreement being negotiated between the United States and 11 other countries, kept secret from the public until it's too late to stop it.
The section of the TPP that has leaked is the "Investment" chapter that includes investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses. WikiLeaks has the text and analysis, and the Times has the story, in "Trans-Pacific Partnership Seen as Door for Foreign Suits Against U.S.":
An ambitious 12-nation trade accord pushed by President Obama would allow foreign corporations to sue the United States government for actions that undermine their investment "expectations" and hurt their business, according to a classified document.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership -- a cornerstone of Mr. Obama's remaining economic agenda -- would grant broad powers to multinational companies operating in North America, South America and Asia. Under the accord, still under negotiation but nearing completion, companies and investors would be empowered to challenge regulations, rules, government actions and court rulings -- federal, state or local -- before tribunals organized under the World Bank or the United Nations.
The WikiLeaks analysis explains that this lets firms "sue" governments to obtain taxpayer compensation for loss of "expected future profits."

Will New German Study End Global Warming Hysteria?
Although evidence that the global warming scare has been a massive scam in which exponents of various typoes of dodgy science lumped together under the label of climate science, in order to justify massive taxes on everything (because everything in the modern economy involves oil or electricity at some stage) and create a $1trillion per year market for Investment Bankers and Dr. Evil types such as Al Gore could steal more money from ordinary people, politicians, media contributors and of course science academics have stuck to the narrative.
Will New German Study End Global Warming Hysteria?
It is not long of course since we reported exposure of another spect of the global Warming scam:
It may seem far fetched but it is possible to link the techniques of the climate change / anti capitalist lobby to the brainwashing programmes used by the Nazis in Germany, Stalin's Soviet regime in Russia and Chairman Mao's brutal government in Communist China. Thus it becomes quite similar to malware that infects computer systems. The left do not care about saving the planet, all they are interested in is advancing their totalitarian, globalist agenda.
You can find a teaser for that story in the posts on this blog, but we try to reserve this space for world affairs so the fuller report can be found at the link below:

And then there was this:
from my Facebook post
At a now defunct site named Gather, friends Graham , Vic, Kelli, and others not present here as far as I know, were often the targets of attempted bullying for our efforts to present a balanced view of the global warming debate in the face of a tsunami of government - watermelon (green on the outside, red on the iside) propaganda from a particularly obnoxious bunch of Warmageddonist zealots.
Well now they are getting their come uppance, we all agree the climate changes, we all agree we should look after the planet, but we sceptics were right, the whole carbon Dioxide driven Anthropogenic Global Warming scare was a scam to enable left wing government to tax their people to penury while obscenely rich bastards go obscenely richer by trading carbon credits and picking up subsisdies for not generating green electricity.

Those of us audacious enough to ask when this was going to happen felt the horizon shifting. When the scaremongering first started, the deadline for frying was "after dinner". Then it go to "Tomorrow ...... or the day after tomorrow perhaps," then "next year", "before 2050," and eventually "soon."

5million Sign Venezuela Petition Against US Interference
Nicholas Maduro rallies support for his effort to organise resistance to american bullying of small nations.
Over five million people in Venezuela have signed a petition demanding that US president Barack Hussein Obama repeals his executive order that declared the South American republic a security threat. Even people familiar with the Bizarro World inhabited by the rent boy President and his followers were hard pressed to justify this particular piece of lunacy.
Jorge Rodriguez, Mayor of VeneZuelan capital city Caracas and organisor of the petition told Venezolana de Television, “We have collected more than 5 million signatures and we want to call on the Venezuelan people to keep on going to reach 10 million,”.
Government offices and buildings opened their doors to the public in a bid to collect signatures against Washington’s foreign policy in South America which is hitting Venezuela hard.
“Our intention is to deliver the collected signatures to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, as clear evidence that the people of Venezuela reject the crude interference in our internal affairs,” Rodriguez told European media.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro set the goal of collecting at least 10 million signatures – about a third of the country’s total population – ahead of the Summit of the Americas to be held in Panama from April 10 to 11. Maduro also called on people to continue their support.
“Let us continue supporting the fatherland. Signatures are being collected at public squares and door-to-door. We have reached 5 million and we will collect 10 million,” Maduro said on Twitter.
In March 2015, Obama (God - King of the American Empire) issued an executive order imposing sanctions against Venezuela and declared the country an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,” alleging human rights violations and “public corruption” to justify his imperious act. Barck Obama is a megalomaniacal narcissist and so would see no irony in the USA accusing other nations of human rights violations.
In response to Obama's hostile politicking, Venezuelan lawmakers granted Maduro a right to rule by decree till the end of the year to defend the country’s integrity and sovereignty against “imperialist threats” from the US government.
Maduro’s crusade against US interference in his country’s affairs has received wide support across the Latin American region. The president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, joined the campaign launched by the Venezuelan government and signed a petition which said that “Venezuela is not a threat.”

In Loony Left Wing Sweden Asking Immigrants To Obey The Law Is Racist
Twenty years ago Sweden was a good place to live and work. Now thanks to the politically correct left's insane immigration policies, riot police are a familiar sight on the streets of recently created ghettos.
.
At first when I read this story I thought it was an April Fools' Day joke. But it was circulating a few days before April 1 and when I checked it turned out to be absolutely true.
There is a huge argument going in the town of Älmhult in Sweden. A letter that may have been sent from the municipal offices to recently arrived immigrants telling them that under Swedish law they’re expected to eventually stop living on government hand outs, find work and start contributing to Swedish society.
Sweden is a wonderful country but it is run by lunatics, crazier people than the ones running France, Germany, Italy, Britain or even the world centre of crazy, California. To the psychos of the Stockholm elite, letting migrants know that Sweden's laws apply to them (rather than Sharia or tribal law) is so outrageously racist that representatives of the government, as well as its opposition, have gone public in condemning the letter and promising to find and punish the guilty person.
So what does this racist epistle document say? Here’s the local newspaper’s summary:
Reception in Sweden is paid for by the Swedish taxpayers. It is the Swedish citizens that pay for your stay.
Stay in the municipality where you have been placed. It is only in this municipality that has prepared for your arrival. All municipalities in Sweden have high standard and quality service. Don’t believe the rumors that big cities have more opportunities, it is usually the other way around! Älmhult has a very good introductory program for you.
Laws and regulations are the same for everyone. You get what you are entitled to. Do not attempt to haggle or negotiate to get special benefits. Then you just lose face.
We try to accommodate your needs, but you also need to meet us halfway. Trust us at the immigration reception!
Don’t believe the rumors. Those who arrived as refugees before you don’t know everything. Half truths can be worse than no know. If you have questions or concerns about anything, so talk to us at the refugee unit.
Pull your own weight! This society and our democracy is based on the fact that everyone takes personal responsibility.
“This is a terrible way to view humanity!” Social Democrat leader Lars Ingvert commented. Terrible, asking people to support themselves and observe the law? I suppose Ingvert is one of those liberal guilt addicts who thinks a 'tax the rich' policy could alleviate world poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. What planet do such idiots live on?
“It is tragic that there at some point in the history of Älmhult has been someone harboring this attitude towards those arriving here,” Ingvert said. What happened to that fine social democratic principle of equality Lars, we ask, or is it equally unfair that Swedish people should be required to obey Swedish law?
Vidar Lundbäck of the Center party agreed the letter was racist and "horrible". He called the letter "very strange”, even though he used to run the social welfare office in Älmhult and therefor was responsible for enforcing these laws.
This page has reported before on a former leader of the government in Sweden who said Swedes should leave the country to make room for more immigrants. In essence what he was saying is that Swedes should go and live in third world cesspits so that their world migrants can take over Sweden and turn it into a cesspit.

Thousand of Indian farmers protest against corporate imperialism and Government promotion of GMO seed.
We have learned from sources in India that the deeply unpopular Modi government is facing a massive revolt against the Government's possibly corrupt and certainly undemocratic collaboration with biotech giants like Du Pont and Monsanto if trying to use legislative power to force farmers to accept the introduction of Genetically Modified seed.
Massive protests against the Modi Government and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition took place in Delhi on March 18, 2015. The demonstrations were organised by the major agricultural unions of India and have to the launch of widespread lobbying campaign by groups supporting farmer’s rights and cost of living allocations in the capital city.
According to the All India Coordination Committee of Farmers Movement (AICCFM), Modi and the NDA came to power by way of funding from the GMO lobby which is led by Monsanto and Du Pont. These corporations and their business partners represent the patent holders of genetically modified seed inputs which are now promoted by programs focused on agribusiness in many emerging and developing nations.
Complaining that lack of transparency about political campaign funding, and standing anti-farmer policies indicate there is corruption at all levels of agricultural governance, the AICCFM demands changes to the Land Acquisition Ordinance that ultimately protects independent farmers' property rights. The Committee is also requesting the changes to commercial-growing guidelines which now include mandated adherence to patent rules assigning apportioned proprietary ownership of GM crops, including percentages of sales owed to the genetic patent registrar - i.e. the Biotech corporations (sic).
While imposition fair and remunerative pricing for farm produce is a long standing new demand from the AICCFM, the request for restructuring fair trade agreements (FTAs) and of establishing a farm income commission is. Elimination of agriculture from the World Trade Organization (WTO) free trade agreements, indemnity for farm disaster relief and open air field trials of GM crops are cited as other issues that the farm unions wish to change.
This situation portends trouble for the Trans Pacific Partnership, evil twin of the TTIP (Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) being fast tracked by the USA'a Obama administration, which would give corporate businesses the right and ability to overturn laws enacted by the elected governments of sovereign states.

Climate Change and Leftist Psycological Malware
It may seem far fetched but it is possible to link the techniques of the climate change / anti capitalist lobby to the brainwashing prorammes used by the Nazis in Germany, Stalin's Soviet regime in Russia and Chaitrman Mao's brutal government in Communist China. Thus it becomes quite similar to malware that infects computer systems. The left do not care about saving the planet, all they are interested in is advancing their totalitarian, globalist agenda.
It is well estabished of course that once an idea is implanted in the human brain it becomes very hard to shift. The Milgram experiments carried out in the early 1960s, the results being confirmed by later and less destructive experiments in mind control.
Bloody revolution has failed to deliver the kind of 'Oligarchical Collectivism' Marxist thinking suggests will deliver the ideal society Ideal for the oligarchs maybe), now the left have switched their focust to scaremongering in order to bully the masses into dumb obedience.
But as always happens, the elite have underestimated the intelligence of ordinary people.

News From Germanwings - Unconfirmed reports says co-pilot was Muslim convert
Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News
Posted on 27/03/2015 03:15:40
Speisa.com reported:
According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz.
Translation from German with Google Translate:
All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder.
As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he – as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York – received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.
Converts are the most important weapon of Islam. Because their resume do not suggests that they often are particularly violent Muslims. Thus Germany now has its own 9/11, but in a reduced form. And so it is clear that Islam is a terrorist organization that are in accordance with §129a of the Criminal Code to prohibit it and to investigate its followers. But nothing will happen.
One can bet that the apologists (media, politics, “Islamic Scholars”) will agree to assign this an act of a “mentally unstable” man, and you can bet that now, once again the mantra of how supposedly peaceful Islam is will continue. And worse still, the attacks by the left against those who have always warned against Islam, will be angrier and merciless.

Venezuela's President Maduro Accuses USA Of Psychological Warfare
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused forces in the United States, Colombia, and Spain of waging an international “psychological war campaign” against his country, Press TV reports.
Barack Obama is behind a psychological war campaign to justify a coup in Venezuela said Maduro (who is not known for emotional restraint in his speeches) as he presented the results of the CELAC meeting in Costa Rica and elaborated on one of the grandest conspiracy theories yet proposed by his government.
Speaking on national cadena, Maduro claimed that his government is facing a broad national and international campaign with the aim of justifying a possible coup d’état in Venezuela.
“I denounce a campaign in the field of psychological warfare, to justify a coup d’état, against Venezuela, supported by the imperial factors of power of the United States. It is not by chance that the international right has done what it has done in the last weeks,” claimed the president.
"President Obama," said Maduro, "your whole government is conspiring in order to overthrow the legitimate government of Venezuela. I appeal to you and to your consciousness. You well know that all the agencies of your government are involved [metidos] in a plan to fill Venezuela with violence, in order to justify a coup d’état and to promote, starting from an escalation of violence, an intervention in Venezuela. Do you know this?"
(Why wouldn't Obama know it his government has already imposed regime change in Ukraine, overthrown a government but failed to replace it with anything stable in Libya and utterly failed to depose a tyrant in Syria. And now the American congress are debating plans for regime change in Russia.)
Maduro said the combined effort follows recent “aggression” from the US and aims to generate fear and panic among the Venezuelan people, China’s official state news agency, Xinhua, reported on Wednesday.
"They want to promote rumors to make the people forget about the imperial attacks against our homeland and once again deepen the economic war by stimulating hoarding, shortages and smuggling of basic products," he said.
Earlier this week, reports said former Spanish leader Felipe Gonzalez, a lawyer by training, would represent a number of imprisoned members of the Venezuelan opposition.
This comes soon after US President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Venezuelan officials for alleged human rights violations.

U.S. versus Russia War: Top Russian Politics Scolar Stephen Cohen Tells The Truth
In Real Life The People Who Wear White Hats Are Not Always The Good Guys
by Ian R Thorpe
We have been writing about the growing diplomatic crisis between the USA and Russia for some time, since the Obama Administration backed terrorist forces trying to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria in fact. Washington seriously underestimated Assad's ability to resist an onslaught by well armed, well trained guerillas however, while Vladimir Putin thwarted American plans to bomb the Syrian government out of office and that conflict still goes on.
Late in 2013 the focus shifted to Ukraine when riots and what was presented by western propaganda agencies news media as a spontaneous uprising against a corrupt government. By the summer of 2014 Ukraine was being torn apart by civil conflict as the neo Nazi government installed by the USA, NATO and the EU in Kiev waged war on ethnic Russians in east Ukraine. Western propaganda agencies news media turned the outrage dial up to eleven as they tried to persuade citizens that Russia was the villain and it was Putin who wanted war.
Fortunately people who care about the truth now have alternative media to turn to for a balancing view of events, and the overwhelming wave of public opinion in support of war the Washington spin doctors had expected did not materialise.
Since then the US Government, enthusiastically led by its rent - boy President has continued with the provocation. Things are changing however as even government advisers and people mainstream media, concerned at the increased likelihood of war, are starting to talk about what is really going on.
When Stephen F. Cohen an internationally respected scholar of Russia, releases a video in which he acknowledges that "for the first time in my long career (I began in this field in the 1960s), I think the possibility of war with Russia is real,” (1:35 into the video linked below). Cohen unequivocally puts the blame for this deterioration in international relations on the U.S. leadership, describing the current situation as “possibly a fateful turning-point in history.” He also says “it could be the beginning of the end of the so-called trans-Atlantic alliance."
He's certainly correct there, while the British Political establishment remains loyal to the US, France, Germany and other EU nations are distancing themselves from Washington's aggressive posturing.

Stupidity Of America's Lust For War With Russia
by Ivan Akerov
We have reported many times on the American attempts to provoke Russia's leader Vladimir Putin in the hope that Puting will then fire the first shot in the war the USA so desperately needs to revive its failed economy, unify its dysfunctional society and restore is to the position of dominant global superpower. American politicians, understudied by sycophantic European politicians are arrogant, ignorant fools when they have to deal with problems outside their own borders. This folly stems mainly from a belief that everybody in the world want to live in a society based on the consumerist, authoritarianism masquerading as 'progressive liberalism' that has dominated Europe, North America and the Anglosphere.
This is wrong as fifty years of failure in Africa (HERE) and (HERE) on top of three decades of foreign policy disaters in the middle east (HERE), (HERE) and HERE) should have demonstrated. But the biggest misjudgement of American, NATO and EU leaders is in trying to pick a fight with Russia.
Leaving aside the fact that The Kremlin has a mutual aid pact with China, when it comes to Russia, foreign policy makers are deling with, as sombody once described it, an engima wrapped in a mystery. Unfortunately bobody has bothered to try to understand Russians and the Russian world view, they just assume the Rusian population are waiting for Obama to bomb Putin out of office so a Ukraine style Washington puppet regime can be installed in Mocow.
Russia however is a unique empire built upon defense not offense. What this means is that historically, Russia does not start the wars, (though it may strike first if sufficiently provoked). In Russian history, leaders have tried to avoid war with neighbouring states.
Just as Western politicos, because of their arrogance and stupidity, feel able to ignore the differences between the European and American mindset and the African, Indian, South American and south east Asian mindset, so they are equally certain they can defeat Russia without developing an understanding of the Russian psyche. In making foreign policy, they merely project their psyche onto Russians.
Europe and the USA are societies built on constant aggression towards neighbors. The Russian seige mentality responds by building up a buffer zone of client states, military alliances and trading / political blocs. Which is exactly what Russia and China have been doing since the end of the cold war.
