Julian Assange On The TPP: "Deal Isn't About Trade, It's About Corporate Control"

Julian Assange On The TPP: "Deal Isn't About Trade, It's About Corporate Control"

It’s mostly not about trade. Only 5 of the 29 chapters are about traditional trade.

– Julian Assange referring to the trans Pacific Partnership in a recent interview with Democracy Now

Most of my attention to the 'free trade' treaties being pushed by the Obama administration has been focused on the USA / European Union (EU) 'free' trade deal, the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) because we are a British publication.

The Pacific Rim equivalent, Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has been more in the news recently however lately, as US President Barck Obama has been busy bribing and bullying the US Senate and House of Representatives into abdicating their constitutional role of holding the administration to account and granting Obama the powers of an autocrat so that he may 'fast track' TPP into law without Concress being allowed to vote on it, debate it or even know what is in it.

As the Obama Administration scrambles to attain “fast-track” authority from Congress, the content of this unbelievably dangerous gift to multi-national corporations is being kept secret from the public, and for very good reason.

For some background on the TPP and where it stands, see:

Trade Expert and TPP Whistleblower – “We Should Be Very Concerned about What’s Hidden in This Trade Deal”

As the Senate Prepares to Vote on “Fast Track,” Here’s a Quick Primer on the Dangers of the TPP

What little we know about the TPP has come from whistleblower site, Wikileaks. This is what Julian Assange thinks of this “trade” treaty in his own words.

The Obama administration is lobbying hard for Congress to pass a trade promotion authority (TPA) and to quickly approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free trade agreement that is on the verge of being finalized.

The administration and its supporters on this issue, including leading Republicans, argue that the case for TPP rests on basic economic principles and is only strengthened by the findings of modern research. On both counts their claims are greatly exaggerated – particularly with regard to the notion that more trade, on these terms, is necessarily better for the United States.

There is a strong theoretical and empirical case – dating back to David Ricardo in 1817 – that freer trade should make countries better off. However, modern-day trade agreements, including those currently being negotiated, are very different from earlier experiences with trade liberalization.

The TPP is not only – perhaps not even mostly – about freer trade, and thus who gains and who loses is very much dependent on what exactly are the details of the agreement. The exact nature of the provisions matters and at this point, because the TPP text is not available to the public, we cannot be sure whom this trade agreement will help or hurt within the United States or elsewhere.

Ukraine President Has Tripled His Wealth While In Office (video)

Poreschenko rubbing shoulders with the super rich at the World Economic Forum (source)

Ukraine is in a mess, the civil conflict between the Kiev government's troops and Donbass separatists who want to join the Russian speaking eastern province with Russia goes on, with sporadic outbreaks of violence. The economy is in tatters, unemployment and inflation are out of control and many Ukrainians cannot afford basics like food and energy.

As usual however the crisis is not affecting the wealthy elite. According to Petro Poroshenko’s income declaration he earned almost 3 times more money during his year in power than previously. His chocolate business is growing despite an election promise to sell it.’

People in Ukraine are well aware of how the chocolate oligarch is enriching his allues as he tightens his grip on power in the country. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has focused its ire on President Poroshenko, advising him to take his own medicine: it published a report revealing how he used presidential influence to quietly appropriate historic sites and bury subsequent investigations.

The US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) has dug into President Poroshenko’s misuse of his presidential power. The revelations come as Poroshenko, soon to mark his first year in office, faces growing criticism, both within the country and abroad, for his failure to address economic problems and his cosy relationships with borderline criminal businessmen.

This YouTube video exposes in more detail Poreschenko's failings and the breakdown of Ukrainian society.

Google a step closer to developing machines with human-like intelligence

Source: Wikimedia commons

Computers will have developed “common sense” within a decade and we could be counting them among our friends not long afterwards, one of the world’s leading AI scientists has predicted.

Professor Geoff Hinton, who The Guardian reports was hired by Google two years ago to help develop intelligent operating systems, said that the company is on the brink of developing algorithms with the capacity for logic, natural conversation and even flirtation.

The researcher told the Guardian said that Google is working on a new type of algorithm designed to encode thoughts as sequences of numbers – something he described as “thought vectors”.

Although the work is at an early stage, he said there is a plausible path from the current software to a more sophisticated version that would have something approaching human-like capacity for reasoning and logic. “Basically, they’ll have common sense.”

The idea that thoughts can be captured and distilled down to cold sequences of digits is controversial, Hinton said. “There’ll be a lot of people who argue against it, who say you can’t capture a thought like that,” he added. “But there’s no reason why not. I think you can capture a thought by a vector.”

Hinton, who is due to give a talk at the Royal Society in London on Friday, believes that the “thought vector” approach will help crack two of the central challenges in artificial intelligence: mastering natural, conversational language, and the ability to make leaps of logic.

A Swedish Voter Loses It With The Politically Correct Idiots Running His Country

Image Source: e-manonline

The problems caused by government created immigrant ghettoes in Swedish cities have turned the once safe streets into war zones as rival gangs from various immigrant communities vie for control of the drugs, prostitution and illegal gambling trades.

In a YouTube video one voter told Sweden's politicians exactly what he thought of them. And he is not alone, when we hear stories (verified) of elderly Swedish people being evicted from their homes because the building is needed by the government to provide housing for immigrants and asylum seekers, yet at the same time politicians are talking about 'the urgent need to bring more unskilled and uneducated immigrants into the country, it is clear the political establishment has lost its collective sanity.

here are a couple of comments from a threat at The Local which suggest that true to their commitment to perversity, the Swedish government's policy is to welcome the illiterate and uneducated arivals who will have promblems integrating while marginalising the better educated immigrants who have some understanding of how European societies function:

This country simply do not accept educated foreigners! I got MA degree and lot of working experience with several international organization, but this is still useless when it comes to get into swedish job market. They have packed the country with people with no working skills and zero knowledge of doing something other than lying and cheating.... so unfortunately there is no room here for honest and educated people! And yeah, arbetsförmedlingen, OMG the most horrible public institution I have ever seen and heard about in a developed country.

You have well mentioned the true so called equality in Sweden. In this country exploitations takes place of international brains at every level. I never wanted to be in Sweden for job, as my country can serve this for me. I am Swedish graduate, but what i have seen there this country needs cheat Afghan, Irani, Kurdis, Somalis and so on. These groups are making fool Sweden and then they makes jokes. Anyhow, nothing is going to change in Sweden: Any person with vision, having some serious attitude in life can never get anything there, Even if 25,000 kr net salary one gets, i dont call it a win. The Western values( if they have any) every one knows, these cheat refugees dont represent any one. I can sharing with full responsibility they are smugglers who are making money outside their lands, then using the same money to be transported in EU, and then getting asylum by taking the rights of all those good minds who want to serve this world. Have you ever seen the situation in stockholm, malmö, and so on. These people are now even in the northern sweden, but this is natural law, there should be someone to destroy as these countries do destruction in other countries. Sweden dont need isis, these people are enough

Another American Foreign Policy Embarrassment As Department of Defence Admits Supporting ISIS In Syria

(Image source)ISIS in Syria, well armed, well drilled. how did they get to be so professional?

News of how leaked documents prove the US Central intelligence Agency set up ISIS for the purpose of destabilizing the middle east is all over the internet, yet mainstream media continue to ignore it ...

US Department of Defence Admits Supporting ISIS and Buffer Zones In Syria

by Brandon Turneville, via Activist Post

While the Western mainstream media and even independent gatekeepers like Noam Chomsky for years spread the lie that any suggestion that the United States and NATO were supporting ISIS was a “conspiracy theory,” recently uncovered and declassified documents from the Defense Intelligence Agency have proven the Western press and the likes of Chomsky wrong and, yet again, the so-called “conspiracy theorists” right.

This is because, on May 18, Judicial Watch published a selection of recently declassified documents that were obtained from the US Department of Defense and the US State Department as a result of a lawsuit filed against the US government. The lawsuit and most of the documents contained within the release revolved around the Benghazi scandal but a deeper look into the documents dating back to 2012 reveal an even bigger story – that the US and NATO have admitted in their own documents to supporting al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Docs Show Al-Qaeda Involvement From Beginning – No Moderates

The documents demolish the “official story” of Western governments promoted from the beginning of the Syrian crisis until the present day – that the “rebellion” was organic, grassroots, and made up of moderates and freedom-loving democracy proponents. The document states unequivocally that “The Salafist [sic] the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.” It points out that “The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime.” Tellingly, the report then states that “AQI supported the Syrian opposition from the beginning, both ideologically and through the media . . .”

Indeed, the documents clearly admit that the crisis unfolding in Syria was never a moderate rebellion fighting for democracy, it was made up of fighters from the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda (al-Qaeda In Iraq/Al-Nusra Front) from the very beginning.

Secret Pentagon Report Reveals US "Created" ISIS As A "Tool" To Overthrow Syria's President Assad

Thank Fluck for Whistleblowers.

posted by Arthur Foxake; from a story leaked by by Nafeez Amhad via Zero Hedge

From the first sudden appearance of the fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS (or ISIL or IS), which was completely unheard of until about a year ago, on the world's stage where they replaced dear old Al Qaeda (or as former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown used to call them, Alky Ada) as the bogeyman that slaks the western world, it was suggested that the purpose behind the "straight to YouTube" beheading clip that linked ISIS to the House Of Saud (very Game Of Thrones) funded Islamic State was a simple one: use the Jihadists as a vehicle to achieve the political goal of deposing Syria's secular Muslim president Assad, who for years has stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline, one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant - and belligerent - source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in quasi-world war.

The Royal Houses of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are Wahabi Muslim, the strictest and most literal interpretation of the Koran, Bashar Al Assad and his regime are Alawites, a fairly liberal (by Muslim standards) and secular branch of Shia Islam.

The narrative and the plotline were so transparent, even Russia saw right through them. Recall from September of last year:

"If the West bombs Islamic State militants in Syria without consulting Damascus, LiveLeak reports that the anti-ISIS alliance may use the occasion to launch airstrikes against President Bashar Assad’s forces, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Clearly comprehending that Obama's new strategy against ISIS in Syria is all about pushing the Qatar pipeline through (as was the impetus behind the 2013 intervention push), Russia is pushing back noting that the it is using ISIS as a pretext for bombing Syrian government forces and warning that "such a development would lead to a huge escalation of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa."

But it's one thing to speculate, providing hard evidence is a different matter.

So while conspiracy theorists brains went into overdrive, positing that just like the CIA-funded al Qaeda had been used as a front by the US to achieve its geopolitical and national goals over the past twenty years, so ISIS was simply Al Qaeda 2.0, there was no actual evidence of just this.

That has all changed now however, because a declassified US government document obtained by the public interest law firm, Judicial Watch, reveals that Western governments deliberately collaborated with Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups for the purpose of deposing Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.

According to investigative reporter Nafeez Ahmed, the "leaked document reveals that in coordination with the Gulf States and Turkey, the West intentionally sponsored violent Islamist groups to destabilize Assad, despite anticipating that doing so could lead to the emergence of an ‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

According to the newly declassified US document, the Pentagon foresaw the likely rise of the ‘Islamic State’ as a direct consequence of the strategy, but described this outcome as a strategic opportunity to “isolate the Syrian regime."

And not just that: as we reported last week, now that ISIS is running around the middle east, cutting people's heads of in 1080p quality and Hollywood-quality (perhaps literally) video, the US has a credible justification to sell billions worth of modern, sophisticated weapons in the region in order to "modernize" and "replenish" the weapons of such US allies as Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iraq.

What the Pentagon did not see coming was the obdurate resistance put up by Assad's supporters who are perhaps inspired less by loyalty to their leaders than by fear of the fate that awaits them should the brutal and barbaric Sunni Muslim ISIS militants succeed in gaining power, and also the determination of Russia, china and Iran that their Syrian ally will not fall.

But it should be clear to everyone by now that the US military-industrial complex is a winner every time war breaks out anywhere in the world (usually with the assistance of the CIA) . What wasn't clear is just how the US predetermined the current course of events in the middle east.

Now, thanks to the following declassified report, we have a far better understanding of not only how current events in the middle east came to be, but what America's puppermaster role leading up to it all, was.

Sweden Dying To be A Humanitarian Super Power

Sweden prides itself on being a “humanitarian superpower”, and it displays and polishes its halo via granting asylum, almost no questions asked, to anyone who claims to be from dangerous parts of the world. The country, with a population of eight million, is now taking more than 100,000 refugees per annum and it’s rising 20% year on year.

The country has a zero-tolerance attitude towards any scepticism of the country’s masochistic levels of immigration and politicians constantly denigrate native Swedes and their culture.

Mona Sahlin, a former leader of the currently ruling Social Democrats said she hated anything Swedish and that Swedes were jealous of immigrants because they have “a culture, an identity, a history” and that Swedes don’t, and Sweden’s previous Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said, last December, that Sweden belongs to immigrants, and not to Swedes.

Multicultural Sweden is very different from the rainbow paradise Sweden likes to pretend, but the debate on immigration is so toxic that to criticise or question any aspect of it is to attract the attention of the violent “anti-fascist” thugs AFA and the self-proclaimed “Swedish Stasi”, Researchgruppen.

Sweden’s insanely thuggish “anti-fascist” organisations carry out their punishments of supposed “intolerant” and “hateful” people – basically anyone who questions Sweden’s current immigration policies, and members of the Sweden Democrats party which is just so obscenely fascist and offensive its immigration policy is to suggest it be brought in line with the rest of Scandinavia.

After AFA invaded an SD candidate’s home, beat him and carved a swastika on his forehead with a knife, ex-Prime Minister Reinfeldt said SD supporters “should not be surprised when things like this happen” because of their politics.

What is particularly bizarre is that even SD supporters and critics of Sweden’s immigration policy who are not ethnic Swedes are not immune to this kind of brutality either. Sweden Report, a blog by an American writer living in Sweden, gave an example of  this ludicrosity – that “anti-fascists” beat Nima Gholam Ali Pour, a politician of foreign descent, because of his membership of the Sweden Democrats party. He describes the incongruous scene:

“Let’s just pause there for a second and ponder a very simple scene: A group of masked young white Swedes are kicking a dark-skinned man lying on the ground. But this is not a hate crime. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The masked white Swedes are doing a good and noble thing for the antifascist cause, because the dark-skinned man on the ground is a contemptible racist.”

Native Swedes tend to live in areas away from areas inhabited by migrants and so are removed from the fact that their immigration policies are actually harming the people – genuine asylum seekers fleeing persecution in the Middle East – they say they’re wanting to help.

Conservative newspaper Svenska Dagbladet carried a guest column by Swedish-Assyrian journalist Nuro Kino, who has won awards for his reporting on human rights issues highlighting the plight of minorities in Iraq and Syria. In his article he describes a trip to a Syrian man’s hairdressing salon where the hairdresser and other men in the salon, Christian Syrians and Assyrians who had fled religious persecution, voice passionate opposition to the Swedes’ policy of giving refugees purporting to be from Syria automatic permanent residency.

The men brandish an iPhone playing a video of the funeral of a religious leader, a black Islamic flag being flown by a man in the procession who vows, “We will do our utmost to fulfil your dream of an Islamic State!” and express horror that this is happening in Sweden.

One of the men recounts his cousin bumped into the al-Nusra member who killed his brother, in a nightclub in Sweden.  One asks “What’s with the Swedes? Why does not the government do anything? Why are these people not in jail? Will they really get to threaten us and get away with it? Anyone wishing for an Islamist state in Sweden will also demand that we all bow down to Islam or die, whether you are a Muslim who refuses to follow the extremists, Christian or atheist. That’s what we have fled!”

Another unfortunate incident, reported by Swedish daily newspaper Borås Tidning and translated by blogger Swedish Surveyor, took place in a Swedish language school for immigrants at the end of last month. Emergency services had to be called because a Muslim student told students to be quiet because “Allah forbids us from laughing.” Having given this glimpse of the sort of diversity he was going to be enriching the country with he proceeded to point at a woman and tell her, “You are a Christian, that is not good. Here everyone shall be Muslim and wear a veil”. The end result was that one of the women had difficulty breathing and subsequently fainted so the emergency services were called. It emerged that the student had behaved in this way for some time, and though he was investigated by police and Sweden has incredibly stringent “hate crime” laws, the politically correct Swedish police decided that his actions did not constitute a crime.

The Swedes’ ever universalist outlook means they have kidded themselves to think they can allow huge swathes of people from war-torn countries to live in Sweden, indiscriminately, and that people will come to enjoy the illusory paradise of a multicultural society rather than bringing their wars and poverty to Sweden with them. Their fear of being accused of Islamophobia has resulted in a system in which extreme behaviour goes unchallenged, which has led to their job agency’s “assimilation guides” being found to be recruiting for ISIS, and their multicultural centre’s “expert on Islamophobia”, an Islamic convert, going on to defect to the Islamic State.

If Swedes are really desperate to be a “humanitarian superpower” despite the fact it’s leading them to financial ruin, they should at least only invite in those who are persecuted and not those who are doing the persecuting.

Gaddafi’s home town falls to Islamic State in anarchic Libya

IS show of strength in Libya (Image source)

Under the rule of strongman dictator Muammar Gaddafi Libya was the most prosperous nation on the African continent and its nationals had the highest standard of living. Since the western Coalition, the FUKUS Axis led by Barack Hussein Obama (nee Barry Dunham) supported a rag tag army of dissidents, malcontents and religious fanatics by bombing the Gaddafi regime (along with much of Libya's infrastructure to oblivion, the nation has descended into near anarchy.

It is now the third major stronghold for the Sunni Islamist rebel army known as ISIS or ISIL, which declared a Caliphate to rule over all Muslims from territory it holds in Syria and Iraq.

Standing guard at a checkpoint near the front line between 'government' controlled territory and land held by the rebels, Libyan soldier Mohammed Abu Shager can see where IS militants are dug in with their heavy weaponry less than a kilometer away. The militants have taken over former dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s home city of Sirte as they exploit a civil war between two rival governments to expand the caliphate into North Africa.

“Every night they open fire on us,” said Abu Shebar, whose company holds the last position on Sirte’s western outskirts of troops loyal to one of the two warring Libyan governments, the General National Congress, which controls the capital Tripoli and most of the west of the country.

Global Warming Is Not Causing Any Polar Ice Cap Meltdown Says NASA

Dramatic pictures showing ice cap melt are only depicting what happens every summer as the temperature rises.

Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the “normal” baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.

Updated NASA satellite data show the polar ice caps remained at approximately their 1979 extent until the middle of the last decade. Beginning in 2005, however, polar ice modestly receded for several years. By 2012, polar sea ice had receded by approximately 10 percent from 1979 measurements. (Total polar ice area – factoring in both sea and land ice – had receded by much less than 10 percent, but alarmists focused on the sea ice loss as “proof” of a global warming crisis.)

In our efforts to expose the global warming sacre as a scientific scam aimed at justifying masive taxes on energy, we have returned again and to the theme of how all data supplied as evidence of catatsrophic global warming was in fact the output form mathematical models running on computers and fed 'adjusted' (i.e. fraudulent) data. Again and again we and many other alternative news sites have produced evidence to back our arguments, only to be met with a hysterical backlash from science zealots accusing us of heresy. Well sorry guys, science is not a religion and if you keep lying to try to prove your God infallible, those inconvenient real world facts are going to trip you up again and again.

John Kerry Calls For The Internet To Be Placed Under The Authority Of The United Nations

posted by Arthur Foxake

In the latest and probably strongest signal yet to come out of The White House that the wannabe God - King of the entire universe and everything else besides, Barack Hussein Obama (nee Barry Dunham), intends to take control of the internet and ensure users can only see approved propaganda online, US Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking earlier this week in South Korea, said that the Internet “needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly.” This, according to Gauleiter Kerry, is necessary even for “a technology founded on freedom.”

Kerry made his remarks in the context of talking about how international law is applicable to the Internet. “As I’ve mentioned, the basic rules of international law apply in cyberspace. Acts of aggression are not permissible. And countries that are hurt by an attack have a right to respond in ways that are appropriate, proportional, and that minimize harm to innocent parties. We also support a set of additional principles that, if observed, can contribute substantially to conflict prevention and stability in time of peace. We view these as universal concepts that should be appealing to all responsible states, and they are already gaining traction,” said Kerry.

“First, no country should conduct or knowingly support online activity that intentionally damages or impedes the use of another country’s critical infrastructure. Second, no country should seek either to prevent emergency teams from responding to a cybersecurity incident, or allow its own teams to cause harm. Third, no country should conduct or support cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, or other confidential business information for commercial gain. Fourth, every country should mitigate malicious cyber activity emanating from its soil, and they should do so in a transparent, accountable and cooperative way. And fifth, every country should do what it can to help states that are victimized by a cyberattack.

“I guarantee you if those five principles were genuinely and fully adopted and implemented by countries, we would be living in a far safer and far more confident cyberworld.

“But even with these principles, ensuring international cyber stability will remain a work in progress. We still have a lot of work to do to develop a truly reliable framework – based on international law – that will effectively deter violations and minimize the danger of conflict.

“To build trust, the UN Group of Governmental Experts has stressed the importance of high-level communication, transparency about national policies, dispute settlement mechanisms, and the timely sharing of information – all of them, very sound and important thoughts. The bottom line is that we who seek stability and peace in cyberspace should be clear about what we expect and intend, and those who may be tempted to cause trouble should be forewarned: they will be held accountable for their actions. The United States reserves the right to use all necessary means, including economic, trade and diplomatic tools, as appropriate in order to defend our nation and our partners, our friends, our allies” source.

Clear enough, but brutal obvious where the Obama Administration and their Internet Technology subsidiary Google are heading when you recall that just a few short weeks ago Google announced they are developing 'Ministry of Truth' search technology that will ensure only approved 'facts' show up in our search results. It does not get more Orwellian than that.
