With the TPP that means that we will all lose the chance to be able to use the free internet! Such should not be tolerated in our society! Not only is that in the TPP but there is a lot more lets go through the main points of the TPP:
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “Free Trade” Agreement: Talking Points
- Offshore millions of American jobs
- Flood us with unsafe imported food and products
- Free the Banksters from oversight
- Ban Buy America & “buy local” policies used to create green jobs & rebuild our economy
- Jack up medicines prices
- Undermine Internet freedom
- Empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards before tribunals of corporate lawyers, and demand unlimited taxpayer dollars as compensation

West Virginia was one of the 13 colonies back when it was just Virginia, notice the Illuminati number attached to the state. Now they say that even though the spill wasn't bad enough but it may be even worse. The water could actually be poisoned! The government is refusing to test one part of the water. So some organic scientists have decided that they will begin to sample and test the water. They also say that the chemical used in the spill should smell like Mint in the air when in fact it smells like licorice! Something is dramatically off with this picture.

Muslims have erected a sign which states that even Christians are not allowed to skip out on being above their law. Which the Muslim movement and Jihadist movements are way out of control! They are raping women, beheding Christians all over the place, murdering children and now threating hundreds of lives at the Olympics! Here is a list of the top 10 things as to why Islam is not a peaceful religion and is a lie!
10. "Beat Them"-This verse advises men to beat their wives if they don't obey them:
"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."Qur'an 4:34
See related: Wife Beating in Islam and Beat your Wives or "Separate from Them"? (Qur'an 4:34)
9. "Cut off their hands"
Qur'an 5:38orders cutting of hands of a thief.This verse orders an irreversible punishment for thieves, taking away their chance to rehabilitate, improve as human beings and become a productive member of society later on. As an example, Terrence Barkley was arrested on his 16th birthday for stealing cars, but that resulted in him getting out of gangs and into college to study criminal justice at the University of Central Missouri.[1] If Terrence's hands and feet had been cut off according to Islamic laws, none of this would have been possible.
As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise." Qur'an 5:38
Sura 5:33 orders the cutting off of the hands and feet of those who wage war against Allah and his Messenger.
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
Qur'an 5:33 See related: Amputation. For other punishments in Islam, see: Punishments
8. A man may marry four wives
This verse allows a man to marry up to four wives:
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. Qur'an 4:3
Polygamy is highly controversial and not socially accepted in most parts of the modern world. See related: Polygamy
7. A man can marry a girl who hasn't reached puberty
This highly controversial Qur'anic verse prescribes the waiting period of a female who has not yet reached puberty thereby permitting men to have sex with girls who have not reached puberty:
"Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy."Qur'an 65:4
Read the detailed analysis of this verse in our article: Pedophilia in the Qur'an
6. A man can have sex with prisoners of war
This verse allows men to have sex with women who are prisoners of war:
"O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."Qur'an 33:50 See related: Rape in Islam
Qur'an 2:65mentions that Jews who broke the Sabbath were turned into Apes.5. Turned into Apes
People who broke the Sabbath were turned into apes:
"And you know well the story of those among you who broke Sabbath. We said to them: "Be apes—despised and hated by all. Thus We made their end a warning to the people of their time and succeeding generation, and an admonition for God-fearing people." Qur'an 2:65

4. A man may marry the wife of his adopted son
Muhammad married Zaynab, the wife of his adopted son. This verse suggests that the adopter may marry the wife of his adopted son and vice-versa:
"Allah has not made for any man two hearts within him; nor has He made your wives whose backs you liken to the backs of your mothers as your mothers, nor has He made those whom you assert to be your sons your real sons; these are the words of your mouths; and Allah speaks the truth and He guides to the way."
Qur'an 33:4 See related: Concerns with Islam: Adoption
2:282 and Qur'an4:11 declare that a woman is only half the worth of a man in terms of witness and inheritance.3. A woman's witness testimony is half of that of a man's
This verse says the witness testimony of one man is equivalent to the witness testimony of two women:
"O you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let a scribe write it down between you with fairness; and the scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so he should write; and let him who owes the debt dictate, and he should be careful of (his duty to) Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anything from it; but if he who owes the debt is unsound in understanding, or weak, or (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned; and be not averse to writing it (whether it is) small or large, with the time of its falling due; this is more equitable in the sight of Allah and assures greater accuracy in testimony, and the nearest (way) that you may not entertain doubts (afterwards), except when it is ready merchandise which you give and take among yourselves from hand to hand, then there is no blame on you in not writing it down; and have witnesses when you barter with one another, and let no harm be done to the scribe or to the witness; and if you do (it) then surely it will be a transgression in you, and be careful of (your duty) to Allah, Allah teaches you, and Allah knows all things."
Qur'an 2:282 Related to this verse is Muhammad saying that women are deficient in intelligence
2. A woman inherits half of what a man inherits
This verse says that a woman inherits half of what a man inherits:
"Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise."Qur'an 4:11
Qur'an 9:29 This is just one of many verses found in the Qur'an which encourages Islamic terrorism.1. Fight non-Muslims
This widely known verse orders Muslims to fight non-Muslims simply because they do not believe in the same God that Muslims do:
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." Qur'an 9:29
This is just one of the verses in the Qur'an which encourages Islamic terrorism. This verse, together with verse 9:5 (the "Verse of the Sword"), has abrogated 122 peaceful verses.[2]See related: Terrorism
MORE ON THE TPP
Meet the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “trade” deal: Warning: it’s not really mainly about trade. Rather the usual gang of American job offshorers, Banksters, oil, gas and mining giants, and agribusiness monopolists that got us into the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has a new, stealthy Trojan horse strategy. They’re using negotiations that they have branded as “trade talks” to impose many non-trade policies that could undermine our basic needs and rights.
Job Loss, Greater Income Inequality: This deal is slated to include the extreme foreign investor protections that help corporations offshore American jobs to low wage countries. These NAFTA-style terms give special benefits to firms that relocate investment and jobs – and this deal includes Vietnam, the low-cost offshoring alternative to even China. Since NAFTA and the global WTO, the U.S. has lost more than 5 million (1 out of every 4) of its manufacturing jobs while 54,000 manufacturing plants have closed. (You can check trade jobs loss in your state at www.tradewatch.org – go to the “Trade Data Center.”) At the same time, we are offshoring service sector jobs in computer programming, engineering, accounting, medical diagnostics and more. Government data shows that when workers lose manufacturing jobs to trade, or professional service sector jobs are offshored, then wages across the economy are pushed down. The result, real median wages are barely above 1970s levels, even as American worker productivity has soared.
Ban on “Buy America”: The draft TPP text would give all firms operating in any signatory country equal access to U.S. procurement contracts – rather than us recycling our tax dollars here to create American jobs. That means Chinese government-owned firms in Vietnam would get equal treatment with American firms in getting contracts for goods and service bought by the government paid for with our tax dollars. And, the pact would limit the sorts of terms these contracts could use, basically turning what is now an important policy tool to create jobs and develop new green technologies into a new corporate offshoring opportunity. For instance, specifications like “renewable/recycled” or “sweat free” and obligations for firms to meet prevailing wages could be challenged. Corporations could not be barred because of the horrible human rights conditions of their home countries or the firms’ record.
Benefits for Banksters, More Financial Crises for Us: Wall Street is turning the TPP into a backdoor way to roll back new safeguards that many nations have implemented to get banks and securities firms under control and restore financial stability. Governments would be forbidden from banning risky financial services or products, imposing limits on the size of firms so they cannot get too-big-to-fail, or using “capital controls” to avoid future crises by forestalling floods of hot money speculation. Translated out of technical jargon: this deal would be a get-out-of-regulation-free card for the financial firms that wrecked our economy.
U.S. Environmental, Health Laws Attacked: The pact would expand the notorious “investor-state” enforcement system. This empowers corporations to use World Bank and UN tribunals staffed by private corporate lawyers to skirt domestic laws and courts and sue our governments to demand unlimited taxpayer compensation -- if they think our laws limit their “expected future profits.” Really! Under NAFTA alone, over $350 million already has been paid to foreign investors in investor-state attacks on toxic bans, land use rules and timber policies. And, over $12 billion more in claims is pending against environmental, safety, public health policy under NAFTA-style deals. Under the TPP, foreign firms could even challenge changes to government procurement contracts outside the national administrative and court system – a privilege local firms don’t get.
Higher Medicine Prices: Big PhRMA would get extreme new privileges that would jack up prices and cut consumers’ access to life-saving medicines. This is not only about the big drug companies getting long monopoly patent terms to charge whatever they want, but also it would set new limits on access to drug safety test data so that even when patents ended, generics drugs could not be produced to bring down costs. Plus, there is even a proposal to establish new restrictions on cost-saving drug formularies. This attack is aimed at the successful medicine cost savings programs in New Zealand and Australia, but it could boomerang back to undermine similar programs used for Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration.
Attack on Internet Freedom – a Backdoor SOPA: U.S. negotiators have pushed terms for the TPP copyright chapter that would replicate the worst of SOPA – the Stop Online Piracy Act that public outcry killed when it came to Congress earlier this year. This includes requiring that each country put into its domestic law large fines to be paid by consumers – for things we do on-line everyday: non-commercial, small-scale copying (from the buffer copy that is made when you view a legit video to sending your buddy an image or song) and “breaking” a digital lock (for instance to use software you have purchased on a Linux platform).
That’s just the surface of it… A lot more is at stake with this TPP corporate power grab dressed up as a trade agreement.
Weaker labor rights, worse labor conditions, more displacement and migration pressures
Public services privatization; deregulation of essential services: energy, health, education
New corporate oil, gas and mining rights over natural resources and land
Food safety and inspection standards gutted as “trade barriers”: we must accept imports that do not meet our standards, while labeling systems are weakened.
What exactly is happening? Trade officials from the U.S. and ten Pacific Rim nations—Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam – are in intensive, closed door negotiations to sign on to the TPP by October 2013. This is truly NAFTA-on-steroids, since Mexico and Canada joined the talks in July 2012. Every Pacific Rim nation from China and Russia to Indonesia and the Philippines could eventually be included.
There are draft texts for this pact’s 29 chapters, most of which have nothing to do with trade. 5 chapters address traditional trade issues, 4 are administrative, and 17 chapters deal with non-trade issues and impose limits on domestic food safety, health, environmental, and other policies. There are 3 mystery chapters. Not even the names of these chapters will be released.
After years of calling for release of the secretive draft text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), we have finally achieved an interim victory. In early June 2013, Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-09) got a peek at the controversial pact after requesting access from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). After similar requests from many members of Congress, including some who received ‘no’ answers from the administration, it appears that Grayson is the FIRST member of Congress to see some of the text. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still shut out. Upon granting Congressman Grayson a glimpse at the text, USTR apparently instructed him in no uncertain terms to keep mum about what he saw. He was only permitted to see three chapters, his staff was not allowed to see the text, he was not allowed to take notes or make copies of the text, and he is forbidden from telling anyone what he read. The public, state legislatures, civil society, and press are still not allowed to see the text. BUT, over 600 U.S. corporate “trade advisors” not only have full access to the TPP text, they are influencing what is in the pact.
America’s worst job-offshoring corporations, global banks, agribusiness, and pharmaceutical giants want this deal to be another corporate power tool like NAFTA. Consumer, labor, environmental, and other public interest advocates want transparency in the process and a “Fair Deal or No Deal.” A few texts have leaked. U.S. negotiators are pushing proposals that not only replicate the worst of past damaging trade deals on offshoring and more, but have championed outrageous new corporate-favored terms that would jack up drug prices and limit Internet freedom.
