TPP & the other Secret (‘Omerta’) Global Corporate Treaties/”Arrangements’

In his Sept. 23, 2015 comments re; the TPP negotiations, NZ’s Trade Minister Tim Groser is somewhere between ultra-vague and down-right dodgy. For instance, he uses words like ‘some’ which is somewhere between 1% & 99% of a dollar value for Corporate New Zealand in agreeing to the cross suing for profits by mutual litigants & the first phase the abolishment of suing corporations &
somewhere else between 1% & 99% for the voters of New Zealand who will have to pay for the suits against legislation previously ‘passed’ by Corporate NZ in anticipation of the ratification of the TPP, et al.

And, when Groser, &/or, Key suggest that the TPP will; ‘not be a gold-plated deal’, doesn’t it just beg the question; who gets the platinum & who gets the lead?

Does anyone ever wonder why the Groser, Key, et al, just commit to saying; ‘It is very likely that the TPP will reduce your taxes by 4.6 % (you’ve my attention) to 31.2% (now I may be on-board) while decreasing the line-ups for medical diagnostic testing (like MIRs) & operations down to 2 week to 4 weeks, while also, holding the line on the other expenditures by the government & the ‘lesser’ (municipal, etc.) governments & Corporate New Zealand (&/or, its associates) setting aside $5+ billion to guarantee that any future consideration of the increments, or, decrements in the shift of liabilities & costs to the harmless taxpayers of NZ will be conducted by plebiscites, etc.

And, isn’t the statement; ‘We've got to avoid slipping into next year’, just a piece of drama that tells the grassroots of NZ that the promoters & main beneficiaries of the TPP, et al, are worried that the delay will just give the voters time to learn more about the secret, sweet-heart deal that the direct beneficiaries have made on behalf of themselves?

It may also be regrettable that the promoters & direct beneficiaries of the TPP, et al, also use misleading non sequitors such as stating that their efforts as being ‘at least the very best we can do’. One only has to look at what happened when Canada’s PM Harper said the same thing about Corporate Canada’s FTAgreement with the U.S. & President G.H.W. Bush later said; ‘Well, you should have known’.* Do we need to be reminded that 2 times nothing (or, the ‘least’) is still nothing?

In conclusion, if the TPP, et al, is anything more than a schedule to reduce trade tariffs, then it’s just a secret, ‘slave’ like (anti- democratic rights), 3 card Monte deal by those that need to continue to deprive us of the due diligence information that we are entitled to.

And as the TPP, et al, is quantitative, then just give us, the taxpayers, the numbers & we can then give you a very quick thumbs up, or, down. On the other hand, why don’t we just insist that the lil' guy gets 10 years to read, consider, discuss & improve upon the potential agreement/treaty with lawyers paid for by the Global Corporate Associates, but, are 100% controlled by us, the lil’ guy?

And finally, in regard to Prime Minister John Key statement; ‘I…can see a very good deal for New Zealand in everything except dairy’, has he, Corporate NZ, &/or, its Associates considered & shared some of the alternatives to punishing NZ’s dairy exporters, such as; if they can’t handle dairy products, et al, from NZ then why don’t they offer to buy out the dairy farmers & their progeny at a more than fair price? Surely the Global Corporate Economy can absorb these reasonable costs out of the glorious profits that they suggest that we can all share on the ‘yellow brick (gold?) road’.
