Torolol Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Pakistan are included but its Indian neighbor are excluded? That aren't a good trading strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Some highlights - In the case of TISA, the ratchet ensures that services are deregulated and opened up to private companies around the world, and that once privatised, they cannot be re-nationalised. Basically, these countries are negotiating on behalf of corporations. FunkyMike 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows you who has the real influence. It's not governments - it's corporations. Soon they will be above the law, operating beyond the jurisdiction of governments. People should be VERY concerned about this. FunkyMike and +hedleigh 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's been like this for a while now and it's only going to get worse. U.S. is already fighting wars for the benefit of corporations.

ramesees Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Unfortunately it's been like this for a while now and it's only going to get worse. U.S. is already fighting wars for the benefit of corporations. All wars are bankers / corporations wars and have been since the start. And its not just the US fighting in these wars - the UK, European countries etc.. are in it as well. Governments are / have been "owned" in a sense by those with money for generations and even longer its just that now we have some semblance of whats going on behind the curtain. Democracy is a sham, a lie sold by those who want to consolidate power, themselves mere pawns or willing participants in the never ending game. Follow the money to see where the real power lies.

They just want too much and inevitably there won't be anyone left to squeeze. Small time businesses have a hard time as it is and corps are pushing even harder to have cash removed.

Contrary to the assertions of the BTCA, a cash-free society would limit entrepreneurship to those with the means to incorporate a business, afford the proprietary system required to accept payments, and understand the local, state, and federal tax burden the payment system would create.
