An international corporate coup is happening right now, in secret: The Trans Pacific Partnership is being written by multi-national corporations that will give them the power to directly sue the United States whenever they feel our domestic laws are "barriers to potential profits." The judges in the lawsuits would be appointed by the corporations themselves, and the proceedings would be kept secret! This means that when we have passed environmental laws or human rights protections in the USA, these would now be against international law as drafted in the Trans Pacific Partnership. It's all pro-corporate/anti-human, it's all designed to be kept secret, and our federal representatives cannot even get their hands on this text.
Insane? Yes. Conspiracy? No.
Here's a good primer on what's going down:
