The US-EU Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA): Big Business Corporate Power Grab
Global Research, October 04, 2013
The Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) between the US and EU intends to create the world’s largest free trade area, ‘protect’ investment and remove ‘unnecessary regulatory barriers’.
The Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) between the US and EU intends to create the world’s largest free trade area, ‘protect’ investment and remove ‘unnecessary regulatory barriers’.
Corporate
interests are driving the agenda, with the public having been
sidelined. Unaccountable, pro-free-trade bureaucrats from both sides of
the Atlantic are facilitating the strategy (1)
In addition to the biotech sector and Big Pharma, groups lobbying for the deal have included Toyota, General Motors, IBM and the powerful lobby group the Chamber of Commerce of the US. Business Europe, the main organisation representing employers in Europe, launched its own strategy on an EU-US economic and trade partnership in early 2012. Its suggestions were widely included in the draft EU mandate.

The Transatlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA) or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a proposed free trade area between the United States and the European Union, the two largest economies in the world.[1]
It was considered in the 1990s and again in 2007. In 2013, "United States-European Union High Level Working Group on Jobs and Growth" recommended the start of negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.[2]
It represents potentially the largest free trade area in history, covering 46% of world GDP (51.3% for all NAFTA, EU and EFTA members),[1] and accounting for large shares of world trade and foreign direct investment.[3]
In case of a fully realized agreement until 2015, the European Commission expects 400,000 new jobs, an average a financial relief of 545 Euro for each household every year, as well as annual gains of $160 billion for the EU and $128 billion for the US.[4]
However, others dispute these claims and criticise the treaty's secret negotiations and copyright clauses.[5]

Monsanto, the TPP, and Global Food Dominance
Global Research, November 26, 2013
“Control oil and you control nations,” said US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the 1970s. “Control food and you control the people.”
“Control oil and you control nations,” said US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the 1970s. “Control food and you control the people.”
Global food control has nearly been achieved, by reducing seed diversity with GMO (genetically modified) seeds that are distributed by only a few transnational corporations. But this agenda has been implemented at grave cost to our health; and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations.
Profits Before Populations
Genetic engineering has made proprietary control possible over the seeds on which the world’s food supply depends. “Terminator” genes enable the production of sterile seeds, using a synthetic chemical catalyst appropriately called “Traitor” to induce seed sterility. Farmers must therefore buy seeds from their patent owners year after year. To cover these costs, food prices are raised; but the harm is far greater than to our pocketbooks.[...]
