As well as writing most of my posts for the news site I’m on now in support of the Brexit campaign, I have also been actively opposing TTIP, the Trans Altantic Trade And Investment Partnership, a treaty negotiated in secret between EU and US bureaucrats, the drafts of which have not even been released to elected representatives of the people on either side of the Atlantic.
Fortunately, thanks to the diligence of the people at Wikileaks, we do know something of what TTIP contains, and far from being about free trade, it is in fact a big step towards a global version of what, in Benito Mussolini’s definition, can only be called fascism (collaboration between political and financial elites to create an all powerful central authority).
So if you are a supporter of fascism, vote Remain. Also, dump the hypocrisy and start identifying yourselves as fascists. If on the other hand you love freedom, democracy, your country and its culture and traditions, and you are lucky enough to live in Britain and so have a vote, join the fight against global fascism by voting OUT in the EU referendum in June.
This article from Global Research via Information Clearing House will help a lot of waverers understand what the EU and TTIP are really all about.
TTIP To Make Europe A US Colony?
Here's a taster:
By Peter Koenig for Global Research
President Obama will be visiting Germany and Mme. Merkel tomorrow (24 – 25 April) for the Hannover Industrial Messe, the world’s largest Industrial fair, lobbying, in a last ditch convincing effort, Madame Merkel, of the good of the TTIP – that must be signed as soon as possible – maybe even during his upcoming trip to Europe. Everything around the infamous and nefarious TTIP is possible, as it all happens in secret and behind closed doors.
One of the most important items on Obama’s check list before he leaves office is obtaining the signatures of the ‘free trade agreements’ – the TPP – Transpacific Partnership with 11 Asian and Pacific countries, and the TTIP – Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the 28 EU countries. The TPP is almost done. Completion of the two trade agreements – the economic enslavement of Asia (except for China and Russia who bluntly refused to join) and Europe, was one of the conditions for the top elite ...
It has long been recognised in the international community that trade agreements involving the USA and smaller nations will inevitably favour the USA, and one of the many obstacles currently threatening to derail TTIP is the US refusal to lift protectionist measures for certain industries. In other words Washington wants the EU bureaucratic dictatorship to remove all trade barriers and protections and open its markets completely to US corporation, while refusing to do the same favour for European businneses.
Another bugbear is the investment protection chapter which will allow US corporations to sue governments if they feel national law is curtailing their profits, and in the process overturn such laws enacted by democratically elected governments. In other words TTIP will override national sovereignty and shift power from elected assemblies to corporate lawyers.
Many critics have described this threat to democracy, correctly in my opinion, as fascism. Benito Mussolini, Italian World War Two dictator and one of the founder of Fascism as a modern political movement (based on The Roman Empire) described fascism as collaboration between state and corporate business to eliminate competition in the interests of state and commercial monopolies.
Surely that is not the kind of future and reasonable and well informed person (on either side of the Atlantic Ocean) would want to pass on to future generations.
