Kit Daniels – In an unprecedented move for a politician, President Trump pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership after running a campaign to kill the globalist “trade deal.”
Trump signed an executive order to withdraw from the TPP on Monday, stating “it’s a great thing for the American worker, what we just did.”
While the order is a formality – the Senate has not yet ratified the TPP – it effectively kills the treaty’s chances for approval.
Public outrage over the TPP began brewing after both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) blasted the treaty as harmful to both American workers and labor abroad.
In fact, former President Obama quietly removed an anti-slavery provision from the TPP which would have otherwise prevented countries that engage in slavery, such as Malaysia, from taking part in major trade deals with the U.S.
Obama’s pro-slavery stance actually makes sense because the TPP wasn’t really a trade deal at all but rather an enabling act to allow transnational corporations to dump American workers and erode U.S. economic independence.
Greg Hunter – Former Wall Street analyst Michael Krieger says the key to predicting this market is to watch interest rates. Krieger explains, “Do I think that there is going to be a huge U.S. currency devaluation next month? No I don’t, but on the flip side, there is going to be some sort of financial calamity.

, along with the WTO [World Trade Organization] and NAFTA [North American Free Trade Agreement], is the most brazen corporate power grab in American history,” Ralph Nader told me when I reached him by phone in Washington, D.C. “It allows corporations to bypass our three branches of government to impose enforceable sanctions by secret tribunals. These tribunals can declare our labor, consumer and environmental protections [to be] unlawful, non-tariff barriers subject to fines for noncompliance. The TPP establishes a transnational, autocratic system of enforceable governance in defiance of our domestic laws.”
Katherine Frisk – In the 1990s a very old childhood friend came to visit. He was expounding on the wonders of free trade zones. A plan that was being engineered at the time for Mozambique which had been decimated by a civil war. A free trade zone in Maputo, apparently, was part of a program to rebuild and restructure the country and bring it back to life. Or, to put it another way, it had been successfully destroyed and now it was time for the engineers of that destruction to rebuild it in their own image.
