Challenge: what US federal legislator will dare to get arrested over the TPP?
TPP: US Congress’ stage play, con game, pretense, parade of cowards
“There are two sides to this debate.” Fake, fake, fake.

When puppets dance on the end of a string, they need to exhibit a pretense of freedom once in a while, to keep the customers interested. It’s part of the show. It’s part of the con.
The Congress has now granted Obama “fast-track authority.” What does this actually mean?
It means that, when the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Treaty comes up for consideration soon, this gargantuan Globalist takeover of 12 national governments cannot be amended. It cannot be filibustered. From the time the TPP is introduced, no more than 90 days can elapse before the House and Senate cast their yes or no votes.
Most people concede that the passage of fast-track ensures the passage of the TPP, but of course this isn’t so.
Nothing would prevent the Congress from voting the TPP down, especially and because the contents of the Treaty are secret. The public isn’t informed of the details.
Any US legislator with a trace of courage would do just that—vote it down.
The legislators themselves have been allowed to enter a sealed room and read some of the content. But there is no guarantee that what they’re reading is in the final draft of the Treaty.
The legislators may takes notes in the sealed room, but they can’t keep their notes. They can’t make copies. They can’t discuss what they’ve read with the press or the public.
Again, on that basis alone, any legislator with a shred of honor would vote no on the Treaty.
And no on secrecy.
If a member of Congress did break omertà and reveal to the public what he read in the sealed room, he would be violating Executive Branch regulations on classified data (“national security”), and he could be arrested.
Well, that is exactly what a Senator or Representative who, with courage and honor, opposes the TPP, should welcome. An arrest? He should celebrate it.
First of all, no sitting legislator is going to receive a stiff prison sentence for violating secrecy in this instance.
Second, by being arrested, he would become a popular hero overnight and force the issue of secrecy into the global spotlight.
Third, the whole idea of the Executive Branch forcing legislators to maintain secrecy on a trade treaty is egregiously illegal—and the arrest of an honorable legislator would set up a potential Constitutional crisis. Which is exactly what this country needs.
What crisis? Ever heard of the Separation of Powers? The Constitution was established to create three branches of government—Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. The powers of each serve as a check and balance on the others, to prevent the federal government from becoming…exactly what it is today: a bloated, fungal, expanding force dominating the states and the people.
The Executive Branch telling the Legislative Branch it can’t disclose the contents of a trade treaty to the press and public is a draconian overstep of its power and a clear violation of separation of powers.
The fact that not one of these Senators or Representatives has revealed all he knows about the TPP, in order to correct this fundamental violation (and gotten arrested), is an absolute signal that they’re all faking it.
Faking it. In broad daylight.
A few legislators have alluded to what they’ve read in the sealed room—small pieces of it. But that’s it. That’s the extent of their “outrage.”
The rest is all bullshit of the highest order.
The debate over the TPP, the opposition, the objections—all bullshit.
Those Senators and Representatives who will eventually vote no on the TPP know very well that the majority will vote yes. So their no votes won’t mean a thing, except for gaining a bit of publicity and perhaps currying a bit of favor with their constituency back home.
The Executive Branch, under Obama, is actually providing an ideal opportunity for any honorable legislator. By classifying the TPP as “secret,” a Senator or Representative can get himself arrested and “jump the fence.” He can cause a massive uproar.
He can also force his colleagues in the House and Senate to rally to his defense—or expose themselves as corrupt disloyal cowards.
It’s a perfect situation for any legislator with courage.
But there are no takers.
They’re all fakers. Including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Sessions, and Rand Paul.
These four know their opposition to the TPP doesn’t mean a thing. They know they could go further and spill all the secrets they know, at a press conference, and state in no uncertain terms that they dare the President to have them arrested.
But they won’t do it.
They’re part of what amounts to an unconstitutional “federal collective,” a club of little insiders, and they won’t break those chains.
Even when doing so would catapult themselves into the stratosphere as heroes.
Can you imagine it? Every day one of them spends in jail, his/her staff would be issuing statements to the press demanding the restoration of separation of powers.
And the headlines? And stories?
“Bernie keeps spilling secrets in jail!”
“It’s been revealed that Bernie Sanders, in his cell, is telling his guards everything he knows about the details of the TPP. He won’t shut up. We have a report that the guards have been given soundproof ear pads to wear. Bernie is scratching details of the TPP on the walls of his cell with his fingernails…”
Now THAT’S a stage play.
I’d pay to see that play.
That play would wake a lot of people up.
And for those who, even then, would refuse to fathom what’s going on…back to your snoozefest. Everything is wonderful. The State loves you. The State spies on you because it loves you. The State needs people just like you.

Oh, that is just great. The secret, back room pack by those scoundrels can’t be reviewed, discussed nor amended. How legitimate can that be? I’d say the whole thing is null and void.
Leslie
Absolutely. It is all null and void, not legitimate at all. The US Constitution is not just a piece of paper; it’s the Supreme Law of the Land, and Separation of Powers is among the top of the list of Articles within this document.
There you go!
Leslie
There is no constitution. The Gov has not followed the supreme law for 200 years.
They have gone unchecked long enough that even illegal laws are legal.
There is no gov of the people. The gov is a separate corporation and we are the employees. They do as they please and tell us what we will do. There is no freedom what so ever.
There is no difference between a King, a Ruler, a Dictator, or a US Government.
Our system is just a scam, a Lie, a game!
Well, yeah, but who/where are the constabularies, the enforcers? In which branch of government are they? Humankind is in a mess, isn’t it?
What about….Congressman Alan Grayson…
Should WE be proud of him…..??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MbRrXkrYNs
Looks like a staged event orchestrated for the viewers of CSPAN. I’m sure Grayson and Bernanke went out and had drinks afterwords complimenting each other on a great snow job for the benefit of the viewers. And Grayson acting like he’s so surprised that the Federal Reserve has so much unyielding power. Really Grayson? Perhaps you should listen to Coast to Coast AM once in a while – you might just learn a little about the imperious, overreaching & tyrannical power the Fed Reserve has. Congress has been, and always will be frightened of the Fed Reserve. And Bernanke? Now that he’s retired (maybe), his big passion is to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20.00 bill. How quaint….
Well, here is a senator that could be called an hero:
TPA SENATE VOTE TOMORROW! JEFF SESSIONS EPIC SPEECH EXPOSING THE TPP.

The irony of all this is breathtaking; With the final passage of the TPP the nation essentially ceases to exist. With no nation, whose national security are they referring to? Can we anticipate the final passage of the TPP to occur while Jade Helm is fully deployed?
All the members of congress are likely so compromised (and corrupt), getting arrested would be the least of their worries.
The CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS you are seeking is ALREADY HERE. Please investigate the most shocking case of DOREEN HENDRICKSON, now serving 18 MONTHS in a Federal Prison for CONTEMPT because she would NOT TESTIFY in a case AS THEY (The Feds) INSTRUCTED HER TO TESTIFY.
You no longer have a legal right to your OWN TRUTH, your own POINT of VIEW, if this is allowed to stand.

Congress is probably setting up a TPP lottery right now. “Put your name in the hat for a chance to be a hero who votes nay on the TPP. We have 14 slots available in the Senate and 42 in the House. The cost is $5k for each chance to win. All proceeds go to the wine and cheese buffet fund.”
Hum! Well, here is a senator that could be called an hero:
TPA SENATE VOTE TOMORROW! JEFF SESSIONS EPIC SPEECH EXPOSING THE TPP.

I see his lips moving but I don’t hear much. Is he trying to impress his fellow Republicans or does he just like to hear himself talk? Btw, is this the same Jeff Sessions who supported the invasion of Iraq? The same Jeff Sessions who supports massive funding to the military industrial complex and the NSA? Is really concerned about this issue or is he just “another” member of the US Senate “country club” putting on a show for his constituents?
Now, if he made a speech supporting a parents freedom of choice to not vaccinate their children without repercussions and condemning states that have eliminated personal exemptions (most recently California), that would be pretty impressive.
And speaking of the recent passage of SB277 in the California assembly, which eliminates both the personal and religious exemptions of immunizations for children who want to attend public school, a parent’s freedom of choice to not vaccinate has been stripped leaving homeschool as the only option. And unless Gov. Brown vetos the bill (snowball’s chance in hell) or sends it back for revisions (very doubtful), a parent’s choice to not vaccinate with the repercussions of being denied a public education has been unconstitutionally imposed on them. Are there any US Senators or Congressmen to condemn such an unconstitutional act? Nada….no where to found…nothing.
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
Transpacific Partnership
“Partnership” is code for “treaty”.
Trade Promotion Authority = treaty Promotion Authority
Here is the “treaty” clause in the US constitution…
“[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur…”
How many votes in the Senate were needed to pass “treaty Promotion Authority”? 67. How many were actually cast in favor? 60.
Are the Wild Ones all gone?
The Wild Ones / Waylon Jenning:
“We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn’t control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
Cause we didn’t know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail”
Career politicians […] are the real “useless eaters” and “welfare queens”.
People like Kissinger, mainly him, perfected all this in 3rd world countries such as Turkey (where I live) or Chile. History of the third world countries are filled with these staged acts. So so many. People living in the US will not know what hit them, like I said they have perfected all this, 50 years ago maybe. Look at coup d’État happened all around 3rd world countries around 1980’s. It was all about left-right paradigm.
Now, latest black-white provocations in the US happening for a reason, for some time now. Other military exercises also as you know, all happening for a reason. Read any 3rd world country history, and you will see the same scheme, or watch cnn. Gun grab didn’t worked as they expected after sandy hook, now they came up with jade helm. very simple really. And they will keep coming up with new, more effective ways believe me. These people won’t quit.
Those senators, congress, those people in suit, they know what is coming but there is this thing we call “auto-hypnotize” and that is what they do: they are hypnotizing themselves. They are playing a part, thinking “maybe me and my family can survive all this” you know.. That’s all they are able to think, they don’t care about anything really…there Is an unimaginable gap between them and you the people living there. But I wouldn’t call them dupes or blame them. Public is more duped then they are, because these people in suit know what is coming, they are more close to truth. And they have no faith in public, so they are acting wise; save your own ass. Don’t buy into silk suits really, Its all about survival and cave man mentality, that is whats going on no doubt.
Brzezinskis or Kissingers..they have perfected all this. Now making the ultimate move: taking down the greatest country.
You know It Is kinda funny. People were so caught up, if twin towers were rigged with explosives prior to attacks, few guys with box cutters could never possibly make this, that and the other.. they were planting a nuclear bomb under the foundation of US all this time, in the open. Now they are setting the timer basicly again, all out in the open.
“People tell me, ‘Bill, let it go. The Kennedy assassination was years ago. It was just the assassination of a President and the hijacking of our government by a totalitarian regime — who cares? Just let it go.’ I say, ‘All right then. That whole Jesus thing? Let it go! It was 2,000 years ago! Who cares?” — Bill Hicks
“People often ask me where I stand politically. It’s not that I disagree with Bush’s economic policy or his foreign policy, it’s that I believe he was a child of Satan sent here to destroy the planet Earth. Little to the left.” — Bill Hicks
I mean, anyone born In America cared anything about what these criminal elements in their govt. doing around the globe, none of this would happen. They did unimaginable things around the globe, now they are doing what ever necessary there…

You are so right Gökmen. I’ve been thinking the same thing for years. I’ve watched the USA destroying countries one after the other , and I knew that one day they woul would destroy America. It was so easy to see this coming. But Americans couldn’t see it. I guess they were too close to the tree to see the forest.
