It remains to be seen how much of this plan will be realized and how much was just campaign rhetoric.

As Obama gears up for a lame-duck push on the TPP, activists target U.S. House members at home.

There is a lot of money at stake in getting Congress to approve the deal and they have no intention of letting the truth get in the way.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) embodies the stacked deck. It was negotiated in secret of, by and for the global corporations.

“I don’t see how anyone could believe there was integrity in this process.”

“Look around the rain-fed corn farms in Oaxaca state, and in vast areas of Mexico, and one sees few young men, just elderly people and single mothers.”

The TPP is not about free trade.

Sweeping multilateral free trade deals have become a hot button issue in the ongoing US presidential election.

The strong American popular opposition to the TPP, the Brexit vote and other recent developments in the West suggest growing rejection of the myth that national public and corporate elite interests are identical.

When Congress meets for its lame-duck session after the elections, it should resist pressure to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
