			<description><![CDATA[I wish you could have seen Jesse Ventura's show, "Conspiracy" on Trutv last night. You would have seen the monstrous underground complex and 75,000 med-evil fortress that is being built (workers actually work night and day) in Arkansas! Complete, of course, with police protection! The 1%'ers KNOW what's ahead and are making such survival outposts for themselves! The builder of this place is: a billionaire, has a huge security company that's brought us the spy on Americans equipment, and last, but never least, worked for the CIA! These evil people want to cut the world's population over 1/2, or as Kissinger said, "The useless eaters" will be left to starve. What exact disaster are they prepping for? Climate destruction, 2012 predictions...w ho knows, but I'm sure Romney will be ALL taken care of!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[TPP goes "far beyond trade," yes, it contractually attempts to trump the United States Constitution's allocation of powers as between the branches of government. It seems that rather than a contract, there would have to be a constitutional amendment approved by--what is it--3/4? of the states.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As (so-called) citizens of earth, and probably assuming they are entitled to everything they can gain power over, how are these corporate masters/basta__ _ going to respond to global climate change. They will have no power over that, and will probably end up feeding into the problem. I assume that they, along with most of the 1% will do their best to isolate themselves from the consequences of their decisions, but won't it be simply a matter of time. And, as the problems caused by climate change continue to increase, where are these addicts to power going to hide? Perhaps it is time to start naming these individuals, and getting pictures of who they are into the public awareness as enemies of ALL states.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ sweet pea 2 There is no question that International Corporations, and their Officers consider themselves citizens of no particular country, but simply of the Earth itself. That might even be a laudable position if it were coming out of OWS, instead of from those who claim no National affinity in order to equally rape and pillage all regions of the Earth for labor and resources. This situation is not "coming", it is "already fully in progress". The very fact that a foreign company like TransCanada is allowed to take land via eminent domain from private landowners in Texas, and then use that land for private Corporate profits *is* the writing on the wall. These corporations have then been able to have said U.S. landowners *arrested* for "trespassing" onto their *OWN* property. The laws of the State of Texas are backing the transnational corporations, not the Texas landowning citizen. The fact that International Corporations are keeping so much of this planning and it's subsequent action secret is an indicator of how bold and brazen the overall picture has become. And when citizens then petition their governments for redress of violations by International Corporations, they are discovering that their Governments are already "in the tank" for these Stateless Corporate Wonders.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cute...would we be better off with Romney and his elitists buddies? Yeah, O'bama isn't perfect, but you vote for what is possible! If the FAR right had won, R&R would have put two Supreme Court justices in, killed as much as they possibility could have of the safety net, and shredded public education, just for starters! Slamming O'bama is ignorant when the alternative would have be catastrophic!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nominae, Oh, how true and Oh, how sad that so few people know OR CARE! It was more than a coincidence that whenever Romney talked about oil, he NEVER said, "we" or "The United States"...it was always, "North America. I don't consider myself to be a citizen of North America...but the trilaterialists damn sure do!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think many of the doubters out there must have very limited knowledge of just what is done internationally by groups like the Bilderbergs, CFR, Trilatteralists , etc. IF they will only believe what they see with their little, little brains, time will be out to rectify any of the globalists designs and we'll all be left wishing we had done our homework!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree that an article with references helps lend to its credibility. It is not a bad thing at all to expect more documentation from the press, but we should demand it from print press, too.That being said, reporters cannot always document everything in their story. First-person quotes, especially from anonymous tippers (think Deep Throat), are invaluable to a reporter and yet come with no links.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Part of the way this cabal remains secret is to keep changing their name as quickly as they emerge in anyway in broad daylight. As recently as six months ago, they were known as the S.P.P. One of their many ideas is to make North America all one market, thus the contravention of local and National laws, environmental regulations, and customs. This is the real thrust behind the TransCanada pipeline. It is actually going to go from Northern Alberta,Canada to the lower West Coast of Mexico where the Mexican refineries are already located. This allows increased access to the Asian and other markets much more easily than shipping out of the Gulf Ports in Texas. But, you know .... baby steps. They are also pushing for a "Transportation Corridor" from Canada to Mexico which would bisect the U.S. roughly along the present path of I-35. This is to include huge new multi-lane freeways and railways to include Bullet trains (for shipping). These are busy, busy boys all the way around, and yes, the sitting President is totally on board with the plan.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is so important to emphasize. Can a corporation even be accurately identified as being "American" or "Chinese" or whatever? It seems like the multi-national nature of the current giants defy any notion of national loyalty whatsoever, let alone loyalty to "the people" of the country, or of any country. . D'ya mean they don't already? Sure they do!! If not blatantly and directly, then through the corporate "speech" of the "American" branches of said multi-national businesses.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We are contending with FIPA here in Canada: a similar power grab for China; as well as TPP, this time touted by the most secretive & regressive Federal government Canadians may ever have had. We have already suffered expensive, public-fund-pai d lawsuits from US corporations ‘investing’ here, over claimed losses of putative profits due to environmental regulations. Sovereignty now appears to be an unspeakably dirty word, unless it’s corporate sovereignty.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[this sounds like the second coming of the MAI -- Multilateral Agreement on Investments -- that failed to get support of governments about 6 or 8 years ago. It basically made investments or the right to own property superior to all other rights and actions of people. It subjected world governments to the investment interests of investors. It was really extreme and in those days following the Battle in Seattle the text of the treaty was published and became known. This sounds like an effort to bring the same things back secretly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[WHY SECRETIVE? BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT A vocal public in all the Nations concerned, particularly at home in USA, realising the real trick is they are empowering Corporate Leaders to form arbitration courts that are not bound to abide laws of any country. My goodness if American public realise they are paying the most expensive taxes to support a Government and bureaucracy making laws the TPP Court can ignor for Corporate profit. This thing permits that court to sanction drug running from Golden Trianglen regeneration after Mexican drug war losses, as long sas it keeps supply to meet demand and the peaseants doped out of their brains to approve the growth of a priveleged 1% and 10%. can no one see that?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Many Americans voted for Obama because the alternative was so frightening. Maybe now is the time, well before the next election, to get a third party active. It might be possible to elect a 3rd party candidate, or if the threat of a 3rd party were very real, the integrity and policies of the only 2 viable parties might be influenced. The difficulty is to find a respected, honest, and high profile person to be a lead candidate in a 3rd party. Does anyone have any ideas?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Please! This is so lame. You think some 3rd party person is going to get elected and change the game? How naive can one get? These are huge forces and powers. What we need is a strategic plan not just be a 3rd party person. We need to implement a nation wide plan consisting of many components. Letting people know on the local level, letting mayors and governors know we will not accept this. We need to strike and march in protest. There are no simple answers. But fighting against this it what we need to to do. At the very lease some 3rd party person would have a sudden bad accident suddenly vanishing. This will take a big fight on our party on many different levels. We just cannot accept this and should start letting our reps knwo right away that the TPP is a serious threat to our rights and protections and our society! So at the very least start by calling your reps in big numbers and Obama. We need to send a message loud and clear or they will crush us. We need to contact activists and unions to find out what actions people can take to challenge this and we need to take action in big numbers. TPP will take us down the balck hole of Global Climate change so fast we won't know what hit us.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Where do you think Obama is now, and why? He is visiting officials in the Pacific nations that are planned to take part in the TPPP. He will offer some goodies to the wealthy people of these nations to screw working people world wide. This is how things work in a plutocracy. It sure as hell will kill what ever is left of democracy in the United States when a cabal of corporate officials can delete any law on the books of our nation, our states, our local districts and small towns. No laws or regulations may be enforced that LIMIT CORPORATE PROFITS in any way. Profits!! That is what makes t he world go round. You thought it was love? Oh, boy, are you still in the eighteen hundreds? Get real. Only GREED counts in the twenty first century.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Obama is being told what to do by some secret cabal of multinationals who somehow lack the power to keep their agenda secret. This sounds more like nutcase conspiracy theory we'd see from the anti-UN John Bircher crowd. I happen to think it's a bad idea, and probably dangerous; but the cause is not well-served by irrational and unsubstantiated claims of conspiracy to over-rule home rule. Let's take a deep breath here, and figure out what's actually in the proposals and what the actual process of review will be before we leap off the rhetorical cliff by accusing our newly re-elected president of being a puppet of multi-nationals . I need some attribution and some proof before I'd buy that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This latest grab for world-wide corporate rule is shocking, but not surprising. The groups such as the Bilderbergs, CFR, and the Trilaterals (founded by Brzezinski) have been plotting and gaining their goal of a world of elites and serfs. If this doesn't show that scary reality, what would it take to make the public realize such global goals aren't just happenstance, any more than the Patriot Act was just written in less than a week...I hope their will be a national movement to stop this anti-democratic and anti-American ploy in its tracks! BTW, where are the "lovers of America" in the Republican party? Their silence is quite enlightening about where their loyalties lie...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We need effective alternatives to the 2 party system. Someone not bought off by the corporations. I voted for Obama because he was definitely the lessr of 2 evils but he is also in the pockets of the corporations. Corporations have no loyalty to our country and I don't understand how the supreme court can grant them the right to contribute to our politicans. It's like allowing Russia and China to affect our politics.]]></description>
