Greece, the TTIP and the driving force behind the betrayal of the Greek People

On the 3rd of July I pointed out in:  Germany, Greece, India and South Africa. TPP Versus BRICS,  that  “there is more at stake here than the IMF and EU loans, or even oil and gas pipelines, because it also involves the TPP and the TTIP, which I elaborated on HERE and HERE.” Put simply it means companies like Monsanto having total control over food supplies with patents on seeds and plants and farmland handed over to corporate farming. Companies like Nestle owning all water resources, as in dams and rivers. Big Pharma not only limiting but eradicating affordable medicine. The freedom that we now have on the Internet being severely restricted. Environmental laws and minimum wage laws over ridden by corporate courts who can sue any country for loss of income due to these laws.

Who was the driving force behind Greece becoming part of the Euro Zone hiding Greece’s outstanding debt and walking away with a substantial profit? Goldman Sachs.  Who was instrumental in lining US senator’s pockets in order that “Fast Track”could be passed in order for the TPP and in turn the TTIP, a “secret document” without voters knowledge or approval, could be passed? Goldman Sachs.  The bankruptcy of Greece was planned long ago so that they would have no resistance when it came to to implement the TTIP agreements.

 “While we have been so focused on Greece the 10th round of TTIP talks are under way with the European Commission . They are taking place in Brussells from the 13-17 July.

The Greek crisis has served to bring into full awareness that the EU institutions are completely undemocratic and have no respect for democracy. They bend only to the will of kleptocratic corporatists. The EU Commission, of all the institutions, is the most undemocratic and least trustworthy.”

 

“.. ’trade deals’ which are actually going to transfer regulatory sovereignty away from elected government officials as at present (who are answerable to voters), and instead move these powers into the hands of international corporate cartels, which will have the final say over the safety of our air, water, automobiles, and other products, and of the environment, and of workers’ rights (and which regulations will become answerable instead to the controlling stockholders in those mega-corporations). Mega-corporations will set international standards, which none of the signatory nations within the TPP and TTIP will be legally able to exceed without paying heavy penalties to those corporations for violating those corporations’ ‘rights’ under these trade-deals. The current ability of individual nations to establish their own standards will disappear, except to the extent that international corporations allow.”

With the EU deal, Greece will not only loose it’s  sovereignty and no longer be a democratic nation, but through the TTIP it will also be absorbed into corporate cartels.
