I doubt many of you will know anything about the TPP agreement that is being secretly negotiated. It is done secretly because earlier attempts at the negotiations had to be abandoned because of overwhelming negative public opinion.
Our politicians are not informing us of the concessions they are making until it is a done deal, because they know that public opinion will not be forthcoming. Mainstream media is silent because their owners support the process. Keeping us in the dark and feeding us shit. That is how our democracy works.
In summary, it is a trade agreement that sets aside national/sovereign laws in favour of newly created trading laws that favour corporations. i.e many of the new laws that make up this agreement do away with corporate liability for silly little things like product related death. If you want liability you will need to be very wealthy in order to finance your way through a protracted and essentially fruitless process.
Don't believe me . Do some internet research for the facts.
