SYRIA: War Of Deception

From 2013:  Ken O'Keefe NAILS these neo-cons to the wall here, with no mercy . . the first video is from 2013, and is only O'Keefe's side of the debate . . but this makes it a very powerful statement of the Truth about the US, Great Britain and the allies' role in the world being the TRUE TERRORISTS. . below the first video is a a video of the full debate, with the pathetic loser (who seems to hold his head down in shame while O'Keefe is speaking) also trying to defend the absolute defenseless position, once the truth is declared . . . share this . . Syria is still in the cross hairs in their attempts to get WWIII started, for the benefit of "The Greater Israel" . . . could you only imagine a debate like this on American TV?  Not a chance!



The debate on press TV. 28 August 2013.
"All of these players, these politicians are nothing more than puppets, they don't serve the people there is no real democracy, they serve the rich and powerful who run the world and that would be the bankers who control the money supply. The bankers make huge amounts of money....wars are great for them and ultimately they control the politicians.
Psychopaths are running the world." - Ken O'Keefe

Must-Watch: Ex Marine Goes Crazy, Blows Whistle On Syrian False Flag And Real Agenda

September 9, 2015 by Sophie McAdam

"We have tortured and killed and maimed and raped around this planet. We don't operate under international law; we have the law of the jungle"


Ken O’ Keefe is an ex US Marine turned anti-war campaigner who appeared on a Press TV debate called Syria: War of Deception, and absolutely owned his opponent in such an awesome way that you’ll be cheering at his every comment.

Recorded in August 2013, this interview is now two years old, but in light of the current European refugee crisis it’s more relevant today than ever before. Passionate, articulate and knowledgeable about the subject matter, O’Keefe is the perfect guy to step up and tell these home truths- and boy, does he do a good job. This guy nails so many crucial points about the Syria situation in one interview, he’ll have you jumping around and punching the ceiling.

“We have tortured and killed and maimed and raped around this planet; who in their right mind would consider the United States or the West in general to be in any position to punish anybody?” the veteran begins angrily, going on to outline the evidence for Syria being a false flag attack (Note: leaked emails showing how Assad was framed by the USA are detailed in this cached Daily Mail report from January 2013, which was published online briefly before being removed).

He rightly points out that the USA dropped more bombs in Vietnam than during the whole of WW2 combined, that it regularly arms terrorists (but the mainstream press refer to them as ‘freedom fighters’ when it suits them) and the ex-marine also points out how the so-called ‘War on Terror’ is nothing more than a well-planned strategy to be in a “perpetual state of war to destabilize the region for the Greater Israel plan.”
“We don’t operate under international law; we have the law of the jungle in which the rich and powerful basically determine what goes and what doesn’t go.” O’Keefe shouts. He correctly points out that Bush and Blair would be “rotting in prison cells” if the law were administered equally to all, or even “executed if their own rules were applied to their own crimes“. He also acknowledges that these men are nothing more than puppets who “serve rich and powerful bankers who control the money supply.”

Keefe rants about the hypocrisy of the West, who are arming terrorist organizations in the name of ‘freedom’ for civilians in geo-politically strategic countries while turning a blind eye to vile human rights abuses in countries like Saudi Arabia. The only people who still fall for all this crap, Keefe passionately points out, are “bought-off prostitutes [our politicians] or the dumbest of the dumb.”
In short, this is a video you should consider sharing with anyone you know who is still under the illusion that the USA and Britain are doing good in the world, anyone who doesn’t believe the ‘conspiracy theory’ that 9/11 (or Syria, or Libya, or Afghanistan or Iraq) were not orchestrated attacks to further a sinister long-term goal of controlling the Middle East, and anyone who believes that the desperate refugees fleeing these countries we have systematically destroyed have no right to seek help from their oppressors in Europe and North America- after all, without Western imperialism, we wouldn’t have any refugees in the first place (more on that here).

Ken O’Keefe renounced US citizenship in 2001 and now holds Irish, Hawaiian & Palestinian citizenship. He says on his blog: “My ultimate allegiance is to my entire human family and to planet Earth.”

Well said.

Is The Virginia Shooting Hoax Blowing Up in the MSM’s Face?



By Joe Wright
Activist Post

Gun control false flag crisis actors be warned: Facial recognition search software is going to bust you. Funny, the technology is easy enough to use on Facebook, one has to wonder why the mainstream media and police don’t use it for these alleged mass shooter events.

Actually, this is an even bigger warning to the billionaire “philanthropists” who back aggressive gun control initiatives and are likely backing these staged “events.” You’ve hired horrible actors. You’re going to get busted unless you back off. But, alas, we know your allegiance to the UN Small Arms Treaty requires you to push forward despite a growing number who know your game.

The latest reporter shooting hoax in Virginia is getting so easily torn apart by the conspiracy research community that the media’s emotional staging of actors is becoming absurd.

The latest discovery is that Alison Parker’s alleged fiancĂ© Chris Hurst, who has only eight social media photos of him with Alison, is probably just her “TV” boyfriend. A guy named Daniel Wulz has been outed by facial recognition as her real-world boyfriend.



Some of the media’s photos of Alison are taken directly from Wulz’s Facebook account, which is now curiously unavailable.

Not surprisingly, Daniel Wulz, is also filmmaker. His YouTube channel described as “The combined efforts of our work featuring Independent Films, Concert Videos and Film trailers.”

A video posted to his YouTube channel has the description “Something I made when I was still learning film. Kinda crappy but whatever.” Video below:

Wulz posted a creepy new video to his YouTube channel today after a 7-month break, a shirtless rendition of a song “For Alison.” When will the media interview this guy who was so clearly a huge part of her life?

Many have already pointed out the acting background of the supposed father of the victim Alison Parker, Andy Parker. Perhaps it’s a coincidence that his background readied him for appearing everyday on TV since and including the same day his daughter was allegedly murdered.

From the description to a recent Dutchsinse video: “While playing the banker, Andy Parker is also simultaneously doing Broadway plays and TV commercials reaching back multiple years. To top it off, he’s also a former politician ! :) He’s real “jack of all trades” it would seem. Pictures of Andy Parker’s latest performance as the lead star in Les Miserables! See screenshots from his 2013 performances here.”


All of these alleged mass shootings are immediately capitalized on by fake family members to call for more gun control. The media and the lawmakers are either completely in on the fraud or they’re being played like fools. When will they wake up?

UPDATE: Another amazing compilation of the crisis actors working on this hoax.

10 Facts Most Americans Are Too Fearful To Face

Waking Times

Bernie Suarez, Guest
Waking Times

Sometimes you have to put out information in hopes that those who haven’t heard this will at least absorb a fraction of it. If you haven’t heard this and you absorb just one of these random points, I believe that may be enough to cause a major paradigm shift in your life or in the life of someone you know.

Here are 10 random, mostly recent but some archival information that is factual and verifiable for anyone willing to look it up.

1. Genetically Modified Foods are illegal in many countries for health and medical reasons all the while the U.S. passes laws making GMO labeling illegal.

You may be thinking, say what? That’s right. U.S. citizens are being propagandized daily and are being practically forced to blindly consume GMOs while countries like Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Madeira, New Zealand, Peru, Australia, Russia, France and Switzerland all have booted Monsanto and their GMO crops from their countries. That’s like being booted out of a town for being a rapist and child molester only to have that same person settle into the next town over and become a grade school teacher or pastor. Now imagine the citizens of that other town having a law forced on them that says rapists and child molesters must be allowed to teach little kids and run churches. That’s what we’re talking about here.
While humanity in other countries wakes up fully to the dangers of GMO foods, Monsanto and other GMO food producers are having a feast in the U.S. buying out politicians, distorting news, research and evidence that proves GMO foods are directly linked to cancer. Like a scene from a bad movie, only it’s not a movie. Actually it’s YOUR life if you are in the United States dealing with this nightmare.
As bizarre as it seems, only in the U.S. do criminal corporations like Monsanto enjoy the benefits of the support of the political and legal system. A bird’s eye view of the situation clearly shows how corrupt and evil the control system in the United States really is. Sadly, most Americans have no idea that they are being lied to every day and lured into eating dangerous cancer-causing and health-destroying food just so that someone can profit from your disease later on.

2. As a result of “Act of 1871″ by the 41st Congress, the United States “Corporation” was created to trample the original Republic.

Shockingly, this fraudulent synthetic corporate government entity is the only “United States” most people in America know today. And this non-governmental corporate entity covering a 10-square-mile grid in Washington D.C. parades as a sovereign legitimate government and has been doing so for over 100 years.
Of all the things that need to be repaired and reversed in the United States, this single issue is one of the most important root issues for people to wrap their heads around.
Imagine the impact of getting a real grassroots movement of people to push awareness of the truth of the current District of Columbia U.S. Corporate Government and the corresponding imitation Constitution OF the United States (instead of “For” the United States as stated in the original organic document).
This is one of those issues that most people don’t know where to start, how to apply this idea, and how to lead this idea in a meaningful way so they simply give up. The fact is that people are afraid to face this mega-sized issue with overwhelming implications for the average person.

3. “7 countries in 5 years.”

This wide open confession came straight out of the mouth of U.S. General Wesley Clark years after the illegal invasion of Iraq. The General openly spilled the beans on the U.S. military’s plan to illegally invade 7 countries in the Middle East under the lie of the war on terror. Shockingly, to this day no war crimes trials have taken place. No one has been executed, convicted or imprisoned for these massive crimes against humanity. Shockingly, the criminals even still make TV appearances and prance around the country offering their opinions and enjoying a comfortable life appearing at events and speaking.

In fact, General Wesley Clark himself ended up being promoted to lead NATO units in the Middle East. He has even made recent propaganda appearances on TV playing into the Jade Helm “master the human domain” psyop teasing freedom lovers with Hitler-like rhetoric about caging anyone who doesn’t agree with the U.S. government!

4. The U.S. military and its defense contractors have over 150+ live and legitimate patents for spraying the sky with nano-particles, all the while the masses are told it’s a “conspiracy.”

Those still unaware of this may be shocked to know these patents are not even hidden from the public. You can read them all for yourself. Despite this open knowledge these programs roll on comfortably as we have observed their spraying techniques change from various forms of chemtrails to aerosolized plumes/injections or chembombs to a mixture of both.

Astoundingly, we are now living at a time when we are surrounded by a generation of young Americans that think tic-tac-toe is normal in the sky. They think that crazy lines in the sky are part of nature. They see advertisements with lines in the sky and think nothing of it. They have no idea that not long ago there was a time when there were no lines in the sky at all. They have no concept of blue skies and clear starry nights. Shockingly and sadly an integral part of this lack of knowledge is the fear of knowing. More than any other topic, probably the spraying of our skies is cloaked in fear and anxiety of what to do if it is true. Many people would rather not know.

5. As briefly mentioned in #3, the United States Military is currently conducting an admitted A.I. psychological operation on the human domain as people carry on as usual.

It’s called Jade Helm and right now learning more about Jade Helm for many Americans means putting down that remote control, turning off that ballgame, pausing the video game or missing their favorite TV show. It takes work to research this and, more importantly, the insecurity that comes with knowing that our own military is studying you the individual to control you is again too profound to really understand for some. They might ask, why would the military do this? Not knowing that the new world order has been planned for over 100 years now.

This is another issue that is too overwhelming for the average person to understand or, more importantly, face head-on. SOCOM documents exposed by researchers are clear about the intention of Jade Helm Jade 2 software and no matter how much you ignore it, it’s still here, it’s very real and it’s in motion as we speak.

6. The entire debt-based fiat worthless paper money circulating in the U.S. is supplied and controlled by a private corporation with no legal authority to do so.

We call them the Federal Reserve. It’s the illegal private banking system created officially in 1913 under the Federal Reserve Act which Congress gave a green light to. This single act essentially handed the United States of America to a gang of private bankers with no accountability to the people. Along with the Act of 1871, this Federal Reserve Act is also one of the most significant and horrific turning points in the history of America. An act that accounts for many of the problems and sufferings in America for now over 100 years.

If enough people could finally wrap their heads around this single reality, that a private illegal mob of banksters have psyched out and enslaved Americans, fooling them into accepting their fake fiat currency while ensuring their perpetual enslavement, the full-on revolution would start today.

7. Throughout the history of humanity people do things by planning it out; this simple act of organizing is considered bizarre, unlikely and improbable by a generation of brainwashed people controlled by one hypnotic phrase – “conspiracy”!

That’s right. You may be reading this and thinking this refers to you. The simple phrase “conspiracy” or “conspiracy theory” has singlehandedly mind-controlled millions of Americans like no other word or phrase has. Unfortunately, there is no way around it. “Conspiracy” is a substitute word for an otherwise ordinary act of planning or coordinating. Something all people do, especially groups like corporations and governments. You MUST plan, organize, or “conspire” to do things. That’s how things get done!

8. The U.S. has been caught numerous times militarily defending, arming, supplying and training ISIS fighters.

Here we are at the one-year anniversary of the ISIS super psyop American TV marketing campaign, and today the ISIS psyop has been blown wide open more often than the amount of times the global warming movement has been exposed as lies. These reports trapping U.S. and Israeli (NATO) governments in baldfaced staged lies and capturing solid evidence of their support for ISIS have gone completely ignored and censored by U.S. mainstream media to keep the ISIS psyop narrative going in the minds of Americans.

The situation is so controlled and so propagandized that even if every member of ISIS went on TV tomorrow exclusively expressing their partnership with the CIA and Mossad, the very next day U.S. mainstream media will present another ISIS story telling you how much they are the enemy and need to be defeated. Make no mistake, this control system is completely immune and entirely unfazed by truth, hard evidence and hard facts.

9. Turning back the clock – 5 Israeli men were caught, arrested, fingerprinted and detained on September 11th 2001.

After they were celebrating the destruction of the world trade center seconds after the buildings were destroyed, while the buildings burned AND while the rest of America watched in shock and tears. These men were later mysteriously released back to Israel where they bragged on camera about being in New York City to “document the event”. The history of Israeli entities’ involvement in the 9/11 attacks are particularly concrete, yet the frightening reality is that today’s U.S. mainstream media acts like none of this ever happened.

For this reason it’s always good to remind everyone that this is very real. The individuals names are Sivan Kurzberg, Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shonvel, Oded Ellner and Omer Gavriel Marmari and they were given a clean pass back to Israel by then Chief of Justice Department Michael Chertoff. Of course Chertoff would later become Director of George Bush’s Homeland Security and play a significant role in writing the Patriot Act. Plainly put, one of the head masterminds of 9/11 essentially singlehandedly released a handful of key 9/11 suspects and allowed them to fly peacefully and freely back to their Israel homeland to brag about what they did.

10. In the U.S, like it was with Hitler’s Germany, propaganda is perfectly legal.

Most Americans have no idea this is the case. They don’t realize that the U.S. corporate fraudulent government can legally lie to you every single day to get you to believe whatever they want you to believe and then turn around behind closed doors and laugh at you for believing their legal lies. Try telling that to most Americans and see how they look at you.
This is another example of a hard-to-handle lie that is pushed on Americans every day; and the average working American has no time to truly wrap their heads around this stunning fact so they bury their heads in the sand instead, unwilling to look at the issue because they fear they won’t know what to do with the information.
It’s no wonder that today’s TV shows and comedic rants are often shaped to put a positive slant on lying. To trivialize the seriousness and the consequences of lying. They even make lying seem like an evil necessity or even a cool trend. Most people are completely unaware of these subliminal messages that endorse the control of a government whose survival is dependent on continuous lies and deceit.

Solutions

Let’s keep sharing the information and forcing people to look at this information. These are just 10 random issues I felt are important, but there could be another 10 here just as easily. Information is spreading and people are getting this. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom before people take action and start to think differently. Whatever drives someone you can always be sure that pushing the information will help accelerate this process. Let’s keep doing that and if you agree share this information with someone and give them something to think about.

Marriage 'persecution' starts 'Already we see evidence that we will lose our First Amendment right of free speech'

WND


At mid-morning on Friday the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it had created same-sex “marriage” for homosexuals and lesbians across the United States, using a convoluted logic from Justice Anthony Kennedy that included citations to Cicero and Confucius.

Within hours, the persecution of those who disagree had started, according to a statement from a family group based in Pennsylvania.

“Already we see evidence right in our state that we will lose our First Amendment right of free speech simply because we do not agree with today’s SCOTUS decision and understand the historic definition of marriage,” said a statement released by the American Family Association of Pennsylvania. “What better way to say all are on board with this decision than to silence the voices of those not in agreement?”

The comments stemmed from an announcement from editorialists at Pennlive.com. that they would no longer allow opinion or editorial pieces “in opposition to same-sex marriage.”

“These unions are now the law of the land,” the publication said.

And it likened those who still support traditional and biblical marriage, despite the court’s opinion, to those who are “racist, sexist or anti-Semitic.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Archaeological evidence of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah


It seems that Many/Most people do not really "want" to believe that something like what happened in Sodom & Gomorrah really occurred, or that the things mentioned in the Bible may have actually sort of happened, but that they can be explained by some naturally occurring phenomenom, and that the description in the Bible are just attempts to describe the events and throwing a creator God in the mix for the average people to be afraid of, etc . .  Watch for yourself - Decide for yourself.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The family group responded, “Pennlive, the Harrisburg area news organization, has announced a change in op-eds and letters to the editor, stating, ‘As a result of Friday’s ruling, Pennlive/The Patriot-news will very strictly limit op-eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.’”

Said Diane Gramley, the organization’s chief, “Already we see evidence right in our state that we will lose our First Amendment right of free speech simply because we do not agree.”

The organization said, “This newspaper organization is equating homosexuality to race – a big mistake as race is immutable or unchangeable and homosexuality is changeable as evidenced by the thousands who have left the lifestyle. PennLive/The Patriot-News has bought into the lie!”

Gramley continued, “Penn/Live/The Patriot-News wants to end the debate, but it has only just begun. Five unelected Justices of the Supreme Court cannot redefine true marriage any more than one unelected judge in Pennsylvania can. Marriage is still and always will be between one man and one woman. As pointed out in Justice Scalia’s dissenting opinion, America has always been about the freedom to debate an issue. To stifle that debate is to stifle the American way.

“However, we will see an increase in persecution against those who hold the traditional view of marriage, as evidenced by the newspaper’s change in policy. This decision is not a march to progress, but the exact opposite,” she said.

The Daily Caller jumped on the controversy, calling the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, company’s stance “hardcore.”

The report said the publication at first said it would “no longer accept, nor will it print, op-eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.”

The DC reported newspaper officials later added, “Clarification: We will not foreclose discussion of the high court’s decision, but arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”

Commenters, the DC reported, were ticked.

“Nice to see strict speech codes will be enforced by the ‘free’ press,” wrote an anonymous “Big Jasper.” “No need to worry about that messy ‘freedom of expression’ thing anymore.”

The newspaper’s reporting followed its editorial policy already: “In the more than four decades since, a union that was viewed as unnatural and even a hideous provocation to violence is now commonplace and celebrated. On Friday, the United States crossed a similar threshold, continuing a long road to acceptance of same-sex unions.”

The news organization eventually confirmed “some” letters critiquing the court decision will be accepted.

It did describe some of those submissions with criticisms as “hate speech.”

Senator warns of another attempt to pass Obamatrade

ummm . . . this is NAFTA & GATT 2.0 and the door for absolute World Government which is already in effect, but not completely. . and the Republicans are all for it , as well as Obama . . and you, nor the Congress are really "allowed" to see what is in the bill . . sounds great, eh?  . . but, since there are so many Republicans for it, there will be many who will assume that it's a good bill, you know, for the economy . .  and that the evil Democrats blocked it . . and vice-versa . .

Preparing 'to force through new executive powers' for Obama

June 13th, 2015 - Art Moore

House Democrats led the charge Friday to kill a bill that has stalled President Obama’s trade agenda, but a leading Republican opponent in the Senate warns congressional leaders are preparing next week “to force through new executive powers for President Obama.”

In a stunning 302-126 defeat, the House killed a worker-aid bill – Trade Adjustment Assistance – tied to legislation that would give Obama “fast-track” authority to negotiate and expedite the passage of trade deals with minimal congressional involvement.

jeff-sessions

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said in remarks provided to WND that a vote for TAA next week “is a vote to send fast-track to the president’s desk and to grant him these broad new executive authorities.”

“If that happens, it will empower the president to form a Pacific Union encompassing 40 percent of the world’s economy and 12 nations – each with one equal vote,” he said.

Sessions was referring to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the three major trade agreements under negotiation that Obama wants to approve with fast-track authority, known officially as Trade Promotion Authority, or TPA. Under TPA, no amendments would be allowed and the trade deal would be approved on a simple up-or-down vote.

The House held a symbolic vote Friday in which fast-track authority was approved, 219-211. But according to rules approved by the Senate, the legislation cannot advance unless the House approves both TAA and TPA. Trade Adjustment assistance provides job training and financial aid to workers who lose their jobs as a result of foreign-trade agreements like TPP.

Obama’s trade agenda is opposed by a large majority of Democrats, some tea party Republicans, labor unions, environmental groups and Internet-freedom advocates. Supporters include Republican leadership and corporate lobbyists with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

As WND reported, Sessions asked Obama last week to explain why the draft text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership should not be made public before Congress considers the legislation that would pave the way for the trade deal’s approval.

He was particularly concerned about a section of the TPP that creates a new transnational governance structure known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission. Sessions said the details of the new body are “extremely broad and have the earmarks of a nascent European Union.”

The commission – chartered with a ‘Living Agreement’ clause – would have the authority, he said, to amend the agreement after its adoption, to add new members and to issue regulations impacting labor, immigration, environmental and commercial policy.

“Once the union is formed, foreign bureaucrats will be required to meet regularly to write the commission’s rules, regulations and directives –impacting Americans’ jobs, wages and sovereignty,” Sessions said.

The senator explained that fast-track authority will apply not only to the TPP but “can expedite an unlimited number of yet-unseen international compacts for six years.”

One is the Trade in Services Agreement, or TISA, which provides for labor mobility among more than 50 nations, “further eroding the ability of the American people to control their own affairs,” Sessions said.

‘Procedural snafu’

Minutes before the TAA vote Friday, the House’s top Democrat, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, took to the floor to appeal for a “better deal” for American workers.

The White House downplayed the outcome Friday, with Press Secretary Josh Earnest calling the vote a “procedural snafu.”

He said he hoped a bipartisan majority could eventually be reached.

“These kinds of entanglements are endemic to the House of Representatives,” Earnest said.

Sessions said, however, that “Americans do not want this, did not ask for it, and are pleading from their hearts for their lawmakers to stop it.”

In a statement, President Obama called on the House to reconsider the Trade Adjustment Assistance bill.

He said the House’s “inaction will directly hurt about 100,000 workers and their communities annually if those members of Congress don’t reconsider.”

Obama said his “top priority as president is to grow the economy and open new avenues of opportunity for hardworking Americans.”

He argued “smart new trade agreements” will “encourage new sources of growth and job creation, so that America remains vital, dynamic, and on the cutting edge” and “to stand in their way is to do nothing but preserve the long-term status quo for American workers, and make it even harder for them to succeed.”

Republican opposition to Obamatrade

A group of conservative House members played a role in stopping Obamatrade, at least for now.
While Democrats opposed TAA because they wanted to expand federal assistance to public sector workers, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, spoke for a faction in the House who wanted to see the provision eliminated entirely, remarking to WND on Monday, “Why are billions of dollars for a social-welfare program part of trade deal?”

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio
“If you believe in trade,” he continued, “then you don’t need a social welfare system saying that the jobs are going to be lost. We believe trade creates jobs. If you believe that, why do you have a social welfare giveaway as part of the deal?”

Jordan worked closely with a group of conservatives who support free trade but had three problems with TPA, one of which was TAA.

Another was the exclusion of Congress from the negotiating process, which could be fixed, he said, by an amendment drafted by Reps. Rick Mulvaney, R-S.C., and Mark Meadows, R-N.C., that would let the entire House, not just the 37 members of the House Ways and Means committee, vote on any changes to the bill that would give the president the fast-track authority to make trade deals.

Jordan said the third problem was,”We think the TPA bill is now linked, in an indirect way, to the Export-Import Bank.” He and like-minded conservatives want to let authorization for the Export-Import Bank expire at the end of the month.

“If we’re going to stop this huge corporate welfare program, we’ve got to make sure the bill doesn’t get to the floor.”

After the Friday votes Jordan said, “Conservatives in Congress support free trade,” and that he and his colleagues “still are willing to work with our leadership to make this legislation better.’
“Our leadership tried to compromise with Democrats instead of us, and now we know that strategy failed,” he said. “We stand ready to work on free trade legislation that is both transparent and consistent with Republican principles.”

Republican support for Obamatrade

Obamatrade supporter, Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, chairman of the House Rules Committee, said House Democrats “chose today to take down their own worker protection program, a policy they have strongly supported for nearly 50 years.”

“Because of this, our work on this issue is not over, but I am proud of the work my colleagues have done to pass TPA, and I look forward to using the tools at the House’s disposal to get this important measure to the president’s desk,” he said.

Opponents of Obamatrade say they oppose TPA because it would give too much power to a president they don’t trust.

But Rep. Sessions used that very point to argue for its passage, saying, “I supported TPA today because I do not trust this president.”

“President Obama has overstepped his constitutional authoity many times, which is precisely why taking up the TPA language was so important,” he said.

The Texas congressman explained the president “already possesses inherent authority to negotiate trade agreements with other countries on his own.”

“This means that without TPA, Congress and the American people would have been stuck on the sidelines,” he argued. “Today’s passage of the TPA portion of the bill proves we can look forward to another century led by American values, principles, practices and successes when it comes to trade.”
Rep. Sessions pointed out he worked with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, to incorporate language in the TPA that would ensure no trade deals require changes to current immigration law.

“With this language, this president – or any future president – will not be able to take yet another good bill and use it as an opportunity to insert his unlawful, unwise and unconstitutional amnesty agenda,” he said. “It also includes safeguards against changes to current law in the areas of climate change, currency and American sovereignty.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, however, argues the “same people projecting the benefits of leaping into a colossal new economic union could not even accurately predict the impact of a standalone agreement with South Korea.”

The deal with Seoul, he pointed out, promised to boost U.S. exports to South Korea $10 billion. Instead, the increase was less than $1 billion, while South Korea’s imports to the U.S. increased more than $12 billion, nearly doubling the trading deficit.

The TPP, he said, “will only further increase our trading deficit: opening our markets to foreign imports while allowing our trading partners to continue their non-tariff barriers that close their markets to ours.”

Sen. Sessions said that if the U.S. wants a new trade deal with Japan or Vietnam, it should be negotiated bilaterally and sent to Congress under regular order.

“Under no circumstances should the House authorize, through fast-track, the formation of a new international commission that will regulate not only trade, but immigration, labor, environmental, and all manner of commercial policy,” he said.

“What American went to the polls in 2014 to vote for fast-track and a new global union?” he asked. “Can anyone honestly say that Congress is trying to ram this deal through because they think their constituents want it?”
