Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5The TTIP has been negotiated in secret by corporations, the US government and the EU leaders. Why? Because they knew the people would not like it one bit. Only because of a leak by wikileaks do we know about what they were up to.
corporations will be able to sue nation states for billions for "potential lost profits" in extra judicial kangaroo courts full of their own "friendly" corporate lawyers, if nation states dare to enact laws to protect their citizens which might impact on corporate profits. For example, if Ireland decided for the good of it's citizens to outlaw GMOs in Ireland to protect it's citizens then Monsanto could sue Ireland for billions in an extra judicial court for "potential lost profits". Or if Ireland banned fracking to protect it's precious aquifers, fracking companies could sue us too for "potential lost profits". Everything is reduced to what's good for commercial profits and any other kind of thinking is penalised
This is absolute madness. I hope this key point is emphasised in the debate rather than brushed under the carpet.
Also food labelling will be undermined and we will be flooded with US substandard food products filled with GMOs and other unhealthy ingredients currently not allowed in the EU.
This is a US corporate self serving "free trade agreement" which will damage other countries just like NAFTA and other free trade agreements engineered by the US have always done to other countries bullied into going along with them. If they go along with this TTIP then this is proof that the folks in the EU have been lobbied, bought and paid for by corporations

I happened to hear José Bové (French MEP ) talking about various things on the radio.
He said he met the US dealer for TTIP and among other things, he said that the U.S. was very much in favor of adding nano particles to food. (To make yougurt whiter, or chewing gum more colourful) Maybe something to be checked out at the meeting.
The magizine Fakir did a little video on the myth of everybody getting 500 euros with this deal (should be understandable in English):

Happens to be the latest article from George Monbiot:

Even financial types are recognizing what TTIP will do. There is a good article on it at WolfStreet.com
In it the author says:
And further down we discover a list of EU countries that actually gave a mandate to include this ISDS in the negotiations with Ireland amongst them. It is time this is brought to the public's attention.
Well worth reading the rest of the link below...
