WikiLeaks releases draft of highly-secretive multi-national trade deal

Details of a highly secretive, multi-national trade agreement long in works have been published by WikiLeaks, and critics say there will be major repercussions for much of the modern world if it's approved in this incarnation.
The anti-secrecy group published on Wednesday a 95-page excerpt taken from a recent draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, a NAFTA-like agreement that is expected to encompass nations representing more than 40 percent of the world’s gross domestic product when it is finally approved: the United States, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Chile, Singapore, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand and Brunei.

Although the TPP covers an array of topics — many of which have not been covered by past agreements, according to Obama — WikiLeaks has published a chapter from a draft dated August 30, 2013 that deals solely on Intellectual Property, or IP, rights. Previous reports about the rumored contents of the TPP with regards to IP law have raised concern among activists before, with the California-based Electronic Frontier Foundation going as far as to warn that earlier leaked draft text suggested the agreement “would have extensive negative ramifications for users’ freedom of speech, right to privacy and due process and hinder peoples' abilities to innovate,” all of which is being agreed upon without any oversight or observation.

WIKILEAKS-Sectretive multi-national trade deal

 

It would seem tin foil is in fashion these days.

 

Your posts make me wonder why the governments try so hard to control people when most of them are so stupid.
Did you even look at the web site? They have the scanned image of the pages there which you can read and judge yourself.

 

Easy there. You are earning the french Canadians their well deserved reputation for being ill tempered.

I say Tin Foil may be in fashion because many of the tin foil hat conspiracy theories these days are turning out to be more or less accurate. Or perhaps you just aren't a Ministry fan. A little dated, I know.

 

You must learn how to better express yourself. For a long time western governments labeled all the concerns as crazy conspiracy theories but with different media alternatives, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to hide the truth and pretend everything is fine.

 

I saw it on the interwebs.. it must be true!

 

It makes no difference where you see it when someone is too dumb to comprehend.

 

Guess I should have inserted a <sarcasm> tag..

 

News flash- You are too dumb for sarcasm, don´t try it.

 

From one basement to another.

 

Still too dumb, must be all the CHEESE.
