Why TISA Is More Scary Than TTIP Or TPPA

Why TISA Is More Scary Than TTIP Or TPPA

Posted by M Caulfield 



On Wednesday, June 18th, 2014, WikiLeaks’ publisher Julian Assange announced the publication of a secret draft letter of the Trade In Services Agreement (TISA). TISA is a controversial global trade agreement which brings with it concerns that it will make it easier for corporations to operate and profit across borders with impunity.

T
his global trade agreement, promoted by the United States and the European Union, covers 50 countries and is being opposed by anti-globalization activists and global trade unions. The TISA deal is expected to promote privatization of public services in countries across the world, and ease regulations in other sectors.


According to WikiLeaks, the level of secrecy surrounding these trade negotiations is even higher than the also controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) or the Atlantic equivalent (the TTIP), which have been headline news for much of this year.
Jane Kelsey, a law professor at the University of Auckland who analyzed the leaked documents for WikiLeaks, says that the secrecy of these TISA negotiations “exceeds even the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership and runs counter to moves in the WTO towards greater openness.”
In April, demonstrations broke out in Geneva, the hometown of the WTO, as diplomats met secretly for the sixth round of negotiations over TISA, which will regulate international activities in a wide range of service industries such as finance, telecommunications, transportation, as well as local utilities such as water. The protestors were demanding that the draft text be released publically for discussion, but it has remained a secret until now.
One group that is very concerned about TISA is Public Services International(PSI), a global trade union that federates public service workers in 150 different countries. PSI issued a special report titled “TISA versus Public Services,” and in it they explain that TISA threatens to allow multinational corporations to permanently privatize vital public services such as transportation and health care in countries all around the world.
PSI General Secretary Rosa Pavanelli says that “This agreement is all about making it easier for corporations to make profits and operate with impunity across borders. The aim of public services should not be to make profits for large multinational corporations. Ensuring that failed privatizations can never be reversed is free-market ideology gone mad.”
Just because TISA is being pushed as a something that will enhance global trade does not mean this is pro capitalism or will benefit any of us. Free trade, and the entire ideology of responsible freedom itself, is individualistic in nature and tends to avoid forcing people to pick any specific option. Forcing local governments to privatize their water has nothing to do with freedom, although it does have something to do with capitalism’s influence on government. Such a top-down approach of a “world” organization setting up regulations that people must be forced to follow.

These “free trade” and “service” agreements, reminiscent of the North American Free Trade Agreement, have absolutely nothing to do with free trade or improving quality or services. As Noam Chomsky said more than 10 years ago, “the major tendency is towards transfer of power to private tyranny and away from the public sphere.. It’s happening in different countries at different rates, it’s happening internationally, and I think that’s going to be very harmful to values that we ought to share, like democracy.”

Do not forget WHO are behind these agreements:  (For USA, read The Bilderberg Group)

Although international,the TISA agreement is written in a language only lawyers and legal experts will fully understand. The authors behind the agreement are legal experts of the Bilderberg Group which constitutes 80% members with legal backgrounds. Why would an international free-trade group have such a high percentage of legal expertise?  OBVIOUS, they are created to sue,not to trade!!  These legal experts will run rings around most of their opposite government  negotiators.

The facts of the Bilderberg Group behind the TTIP-TTP free-trade agreements

THE BILDERBERGERG GROUP




One of the most powerful front groups of the llluminati, which also works as a secret society in itself, is the Bilderberg Group. This is a group which was created in the beginning of the 50's by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (former SS-officer) and the Polish socialist Joseph Retinger, one of the founders of the European movement.

These two persons decided meetings on a regular basis for the European foreign-ministers. Their first meeting occurred in Hotel Bilderberg in the Dutch Oosterbreck between the 29-31 of May 1954, thus the name of the group. 

The core of the group consists of an Elite of people, counted to 39, called the Steering Committee. They are not elected and was originally led by Prince Bernhard, a close friend to the British Crown. Since 1954, meetings have been arranged at least once a year on different locations every time - very secret. The members are around 120 persons from the high finance circles of Western Europe, the US and Canada. 

Although the meetings are very hidden and nothing, or very little leaks to the international media (which is natural, as most of the Media Moguls are Bilderbergers; so much for free press), the independent news-magazine "Spotlight" has been able to report from the meetings. The reporters have successfully been able to hide listening devices in certain areas, so some of the information around the meetings can be exposed to the public. Invited are also political leaders from different countries. Their flight-tickets are paid by the Committee, and there is free food and drinks etc. The purpose of the group is a World Government by the year 2012 and a global army through the UN. The take-over is partly planned to involve computers. Bill Gates, connected with the llluminati and the Director of Microsoft, has a satanic lodge inside the huge Microsoft Headquarter building. 

The Bilderberg Group is also called the "invisible world government". Because of the character of the meetings it is clearly bribery on the behalf of the politicians who are taking part. Here they are suggested to betray their own countries by selling out their sovereign states to the EU by deceiving their own people ... This is what many of our elected politicians secretly are doing behind our backs - it is High Treason. 

THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION The Trilateral Commission, officially founded in June 1973'^' by David Rockefeller (llluminati) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (llluminati), was created because the already established organizations, like the UN, were too slow in establishing a World Government. This commission consists of the industrial and commercial giants of the "trilateral nations"; USA, Japan and Western Europe. The members all are of the Elite, coming from different branches of Freemasonry world-wide to give the Bilderbergers a broader political basis. The 200 members are permanent and in this case different from the Bilderbergers, who are invited, except for the Steering Committee. The Trilateral Commission controls through the CFR members (see below) the whole U.S. economy, politics, military, oil, energy and media lobbies. The members are chairmen of different companies, bankers, real estate agents, economists, scientists, lawyers, publishers, politicians, union leaders, presidents of Foundations and newspaper columnists. 

THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR) This semi-secret organization was established in 1971 and the members of this secret society are exclusively Americans and Canadians. Today the CFR'"*' holds a tight control over the countries of the Western World, with help from sister-organizations and its mother-organization in Britain, the "Royal Institute of International Affairs" (RIIA), with Queen Elisabeth II at the top. The CFR is in its turn controlled by the Rockefellers and also works for a Global Government. The inner core is the dark Order of Skull & Bones, where George Bush Sr and George W Bush Jr. are members. Pres. Bush Sr. & Bush Jr. have photographs inside the Bhemian Groove, California. A Place For Satanic Whorships & Rituals. Pres. Eisenhower was also photographed inside the Bohemian Groove.


THE FEDERAL RESERVE
How does the Federal Reserve tie into the Great Plan and the One World Government? We will get into that, and you will see the connection as clear as day. Again, the Federal Reserve is NOT a part of the federal government—it is a privately-owned, for-profit international banking corporation that supplies our government, country and citizens with the money that we use in our economy. The "Fed" is a CARTEL of privately-owned member banks-- mostly owned by Europeans in fact---who deal in secret over the control of our economy, and by default our government and our lives. See how that works?


"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is  controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation therefore  and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. 'We have come to be one of the worst ruled one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free  opinion no longer a government by conviction and the  vote of the majority but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."  

-Woodrow Wilson. 28th US. President. and the one who signed the Federal Reserve Act in 19.13 that authorized the creation of the privately-owned Federal Reserve 


-----------------------------------------------------

An affiliate very active occult group called The Satanic Temple have just been allowed by the government to erect a statue of  Baphomet in Detroit,all with Bilderberg approval. Just goes to prove how sick the US nation have become under the total influence of the Bilderberg oligarcs seeking to create The New World Order via various ´ trade agreements´ TTIP-TPP etc.

Regjeringen vil innføre kontroversielle investoravtaler med TISA - Bilderberg Gruppen




Regjeringen vil innføre kontroversielle investoravtaler.  Australia ble saksøkt for ny røykelov. Canada ble saksøkt for strengere miljølovgivning. Nå vil Regjeringen inngå avtaler som kan gjøre det mulig for multinasjonale selskaper å saksøke Norge for milliardbeløp i internasjonale domstoler.

Regjeringens nye forslag til investeringsavtaler som kan gjøre det mulig for selskaper å saksøke Norge i internasjonale domstoler, møter motbør fra flere av partiene.

Kommentar:


Måtte bare ta inn denne artikkelen i dagens utgave av Aftenposten. Har STOR respekt for Navarset som ikke var redd for å skrike ut om ´keiserens nye klær´  Takker Gud for mennesker som henne som kan tenke positivt og ikke er redd for å snakke åpent om det.

Heldigvis er det NOEN som ser lyset,ellers er de fleste uvitende om farene ved denne avtalen samt hva slags ´mennesker´som er bak avtalene,og hva som er deres hovedmotiver.

Jeg har i lengre tid forsøkt å opplyse vårt folk om bakgrunnen til disse ´oligarkene´som sitter bak disse PRIVATE organisasjonene Illuminati og Bilderberg Gruppen gjennom å spre The Otium Post til så mange som mulig.

Jeg har også flere ganger sendt e-mail´s til både regjeringsmedlemmene samt våre stortingsrepresentanter hvor jeg ber dem instendelig å sette seg inn i de faktiske forholdene bak denne ´Trojanske Hest´ avtalen,men,dessverre,uten svar fra noen.

Vi har å gjøre med en meget gammel,ond,organisasjon,Illuminati,som i mange generasjoner har arbeidet med å korruptere menneskeheten ved å sette land og folk opp mot hverandre for å skape krig og elendighet til deres egen økonomiske fordel. Illuminati delegerer andre masoniske grupper i deres pyramide til å igangsette aksjoner i mot verdens folkebestand som både ødelegger og korrupterer deres liv,altid til økonomisk avkastning for oligarkene.

Bilderberg Gruppen ble stifet i 1956 og har siden arbeidet intenst med å infiltrere verdens regjeringer med folk fra deres egen organisasjon som sprer den ´rette´ filosofien innen sitt område.  Alle aviser,TV stasjoner,Google,samt hele Hollywoods  filmproduksjon,og ikke minst ALLE banker, er underlagt Bilderberg Gruppen.  Selv de internasjonale domstoler som behandler investeringstvister knyttet til bilaterale handelsavtaler er underlagt Bilderberg Gruppen :  Se under *


* Verdensbanken har Det internasjonale senteret for løsning av investeringstvister (ICSID)
* FN har Kommisjonen for internasjonal handelslov (UNCTAD)
* I tillegg finnes det en rekke andre domstoler som som dømmer lignende saken, blant annet London Court of International Arbitration, The International Chamber of Commerce, og The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre. 

Ikke å undres da at folket i sin helhet forblir uvitende om denne forestående katastrofen som vil ødelegge helt vår egenart,demokrati og menneskerett.

Heldigvis,finnes det i dag store grupper rundt om i verden som har sett lyset og er informert om hva som er i ferd med å skje. De gjør sitt med store folkedemonstrasjoner og teller medlemmer i millionklassen, som øker dag for dag.  Våre regjeringer er folkevalgte og kan ikke fravike plikter som er pålagt dem av sine velgere.  Ei heller kan de bryte med vår Norske Grunnlov til fordel for griske oligarker som vil bidra til å ødelegge vår industri og skape arbeidsledighet.


Til sammenlikning, inngikk Brasil en frihandelsavtale med Kina for noen år siden,som har overflømmet Brasil med billig gods som har forårsaket at et større antall brasilianske bedrifter ikke har kunnet konkurrere og har måttet nedlegge sine bedrifter med resulterende stor arbeidsledighet.  Dette vil selvsagt også skje i Norge om vi inngår denne avtalen.

Med hensyn til det tilsynelatende forlokkende USA markedet for de største norske bedriftene så kommer de jo til ´ryddet bord,´ hvor konglomeratene allerede har suget til seg alt de maktet gjennom sine hundrevis av lavpriskjeder.  USA´s økonomi er på fallets rand og arbeidsledigheten er stor. Hvordan i all verden kan norske bedrifter da ha noe håp om suksess her under slike omstendigheter?

Oligarkene har forstått at det ikke er mere å tjene i USA,men for å tyne det siste ut av et marked i fritt fall,foreslår de å oppheve ALLE tidligere lover om beskyttelse,både økonomisk ved å frafalle importavgifter samt fjerning av alle helserestriksjoner ved både produksjon,GMO, og salg til befolkningen. Dette forlanger de også av Europa som betingelse for medlemskap i denne forkastelige frihandelsavtalen TTIP.

Leser man også om den degenererte levestandarden til disse oligarkene med tilhørighet i foreninger som bedriver bedyrkelse av mørke makter, med seksuelle og okkulte ritualer o.s.v. kan man da ærlig talt ikke gjøre avtaler med slike institusjoner. 

Det undrer meg ikke saa rent lite at regjeringen starter forhandlinger om avtaleteksten før de har undersøkt identiteten til HVEM de egentlig inngår forhandlinger med. Avtalen om TTIP-TPP-TISA osv. er IKKE med USA´s folkevalgte regjering,men med en PRIVAT organisasjon Bilderberg Group,som er en masonisk underavdeling av pyramiden ILLUMINATI som allerede har total makt i USA og er på vei til å ta verdenskontroll med deres The New World Order. Ta en ´google´ på internet med ´Bilderberg ´,Illuminati og ´Bohemian Grove´ så ser man hvilke uhyrlige ´oligarker´ regjeringen er i ferd med å inngå avtaler med. Til rettledning og informasjon vil jeg anbefale nedlasting av 3 e-bøker som gir et klart bilde av uhyret regjeringen er villige til å assosiere seg med. Er ikke dette grunn til forkasting av regjeringen grunnet total ukompetanse og arroganse?

Se e-bøkene her :

Inngående beskrivelser og bevis for dette finner man fra hundrevis av kilder på internet. Filmen ´Eyes Wide Shut´ fra 2000 beskriver i detalj akkurat det Illuminati/Bilderberg Gruppen bedriver minst hvert år på deres sommerleir `Bohemian Grove´i nord California.  Forstår ikke at både Næringsminister Monica Mæland samt resten av regjeringen kan være så blinde, da kan de likegodt underskrive avtalen direkte med fanden sjøl !!

American Hegemony

It should be noted that the United Nations is headquartered in the United States, on land originally donated to it by David Rockefeller. The Bretton Woods Conference was held in New Hampshire. Every president of the World Bank has hailed from the United States. It is no wonder that the rest of the world views the World Bank as an American operation.

There has been an unwritten but traditional rule that the World Bank president will always be an American, while the president of the IMF is European. (A recent exception to this is the current IMF president, who is Canadian)

It is instructive to review the past presidents of the World Bank, because it demonstrates which elite cabal is really in control of World Bank operations. In turn, this will point strongly to the real beneficiaries of the World Bank hegemonyMany are Bilderberger members.

Structure of the World Bank

Today, the World Bank consists of two primary units: The already-mentioned IBRD and the International Development Association (IDA), which was created in 1960.

The IBRD lends only to governments who are credit-worthy; in other words, there is an expectation that they will repay their loans. The IDA, by contrast, only lends to governments who are not credit-worthy and are usually the poorest nations. Together, they create a "one-two" punch in global lending to any government that they are able to talk into borrowing. The U.S. currently contributes about $1 billion per year of taxpayer funds to the IDA.

Three other affiliates combine with the World Bank, to be collectively called the World Bank Group:
IBRD funds its lending operations by selling AAA-rated bonds and other debt instruments to other banks, pension funds, insurance companies and corporations around the world.

By contrast, the IDA is funded by (taxpayer) contributions from member countries. Annual levels of lending is roughly equal between IBRD and IDA. While the IFC generates its own capital in open markets, MIGA and ICSID receive the majority of their funding from the World Bank, much of which is taxpayer funded.

Ownership of the World Bank consists of voting shares held by member countries, according to size and contributions. Currently, the U.S. is the largest shareholder with 16.4 percent of total votes. The next largest voting blocks are Japan (7.9 percent) and Germany (4.5 percent).

Because major decisions require an 85 percent super-majority vote, the U.S. can effectively veto 
any change (100% -16.4% = 83.6%).


Corruption

The World Bank has received accusations of corruption for many years. Since the Bank is an independent specialized agency of the United Nations and considering the old adage, "The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree", this might not come as a surprise to most.

The United Nations has a major and documented track record on corruption of every conceivable sort. It would be too simplistic to just leave it at that.

In May, 2004, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Indiana), as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, kicked off the most recent inquiry into corruption related to the activities of the multilateral development banks, of which the World Bank is foremost.

The heads of the various development banks were invited to testify (voluntarily) before the Committee. According to Sen. Lugar, James Wolfensohn,
"declined the invitation, citing the established practice of Bank officials not to testify before the legislatures of their numerous member countries."
Witnesses before the Committee testified that as much as $100 billion may have been lost to corruption in World Bank lending projects.

In Sen. Lugar’s opening remarks, he points out that the entire history of the World Bank is suspect, with between 5 percent and 25 percent of all lending being lost to corruption.
"But corruption remains a serious problem. Dr. Jeffrey Winters of Northwestern University, who will testify before us today, estimates that the World Bank ’has participated mostly passively in the corruption of roughly $100 billion of its loan funds intended for development.’ Other experts estimate that between 5 percent and 25 percent of the $525 billion that the World Bank has lent since 1946 has been misused.

This is equivalent to between $26 billion and $130 billion. Even if corruption is at the low end of estimates, millions of people living in poverty may have lost opportunities to improve their health, education, and economic condition." 10
One must wonder why World Bank officials have been so sloppy and careless with taxpayer dollars. Even further, one must wonder if the corruption was a necessity to achieve the underlying purposes of the Bank, that is, to create bogus and unwanted projects in order to "stimulate" trade.

Sen. Lugar continued his opening remarks,
"Corruption thwarts development efforts in many ways. Bribes can influence important bank decisions on projects and on contractors. Misuse of funds can inflate project costs, deny needed assistance to the poor, and cause projects to fail. Stolen money may prop up dictatorships and finance human rights abuses.

Moreover, when developing countries lose development bank funds through corruption, the taxpayers in those poor countries are still obligated to repay the development banks. So, not only are the impoverished cheated out of development benefits, they are left to repay the resulting debts to the banks."11
It has not been determined which Bank employees might have taken bribes in exchange for influence, but one can be sure that any deal starting with corruption only has one direction to go - down.

In the end, it is helpless individuals who are left holding the bag. The incurred debts and failed projects just add to the impoverishment of already poor people.

This is not to say that charges of corruption at the World Bank are modern revelations only. In 1994, marking the 50th anniversary of its creation at Bretton Woods, South End Press released "50 Years is Enough: The Case Against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund,." edited by Kevin Danaher. The book details official Bank and IMF reports that reveal the same kind of corruption back then.

In addition, it revealed different types of corruption, for instance,
"Beyond the wasted money and the environmental devastation, there was an even more sinister side to the Bank during the McNamara years: the World Bank’s predilection for increasing support to military regimes that tortured and murdered their subjects, sometimes immediately after the violent overthrow of more democratic governments.

In 1979, Senator James Abourezk (D-South Dakota) denounced the bank on the Senate floor, noting that the Bank was increasing ’loans to four newly repressive governments [Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and the Philippines] twice as fast as all others.’

He noted that 15 of the world’s most repressive governments would receive a third of all World Bank loan commitments in 1979, and that Congress and the Carter administration had cut off bilateral aid to four of the 15 -- Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Ethiopia -- for flagrant human rights violations.

He blasted the Bank’s ’excessive secretiveness’ and reminded his colleagues that ’we vote the money, yet we do not know where it goes.’" 12
The text speaks for itself and needs no comment. Readers of this report will likely have a better understanding of where the money went!
