PAUL RYAN’S PELOSI-ESQUE OBAMATRADE MOMENT: ‘IT’S DECLASSIFIED AND MADE PUBLIC ONCE IT’S AGREED TO’

 admitted during Congressional testimony on Wednesday evening that despite tons of claims from him and other Obamatrade supporters to the contrary, the process is highly secretive.

He also made a gaffe in his House Rules Committee testimony on par with former Speaker

’s push to pass Obamacare, in which she said infamously said: “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

“It’s declassified and made public once it’s agreed to,” Ryan said of Obamatrade in Rules Committee testimony on Wednesday during questioning from 

Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX)

.

What Ryan is trying to convince House Republicans to do is vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals—specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP)—and potentially more deals.

Right now, TiSA and T-TIP text are completely secretive and unavailable for even members of Congress to read while TPP text is available for members to review—although they need to go to a secret room inside the Capitol where only members of Congress and certain staffers high-level security clearances, who can only go when members are present, can read the bill.

Ryan’s exchange in which he made this gaffe came as Burgess, who opposes Obamatrade, and Rules Committee chairman 

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)

, who stands with Ryan supporting it, were discussing the secrecy of the deal with him. It came right after an incredible exchange where Ryan attempted a ploy to try to save immigration provisions contained within the Obamatrade package as a whole—specifically TiSA—that wereexposed by Breitbart News earlier on Wednesday, a problem for which he put forward a phony non-solution designed to get more votes for his Obamatrade agenda but not stop the immigration provisions.

Ryan Belching O’s Kool-Aid in America’s face

RYNO’  Paul Ryan is swilling President Barack Obama’s Free Trade Kool-Aid.  In fact the second act on Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 presidential ticket is not only swilling the O-flavoured Kool-Aid, he’s belching it in America’s face.

“Before they were allies, they were campaign-trail foes,” writes Lauren Fox of Obama and Ryan on her National Journal story yesterday.

But were Obama and Ryan ever really campaign foes as much as they were deceivers under the skin?

Makes you wonder when Ryan jumped so quickly into the sack with the man who has so radically “fundamentally transformed” America.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership secret negotiations have been going on behind the backs of We the People for six long years—or not long after Obama came into power.

We all know how long Obama has been working behind the backs of main-street Americans to render the U.S. into a Marxist state.  The question Ryan’s voters should be asking is: “How long has Paul Ryan been working in the dark to sell out America?”

“President Obama’s GOP salesmen are telling fellow House members that fast-track trade promotion authority (TPA) will “constrain the president” to do what Congress wants when he negotiates the Trans-Pacific Partnership. (National Journal, June 9, 2015)

“Sounds reassuring, but there’s one problem: It’s just not true.

“Pointing to the negotiating objectives the Senate-approved bill lays out, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) says that “TPA makes the president follow dozens of strict objectives in his negotiations so that your priorities come first — not his.”

“First, let’s be clear: The Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations have been underway for six years. According to the U.S. trade representative, they are in the “end game” and will be wrapped up once TPA is approved. Scalise and company are a little late setting objectives for negotiations that have already taken place.”

In the bitter disappointment about the Republicans throwing in with Obama and the Democrats straight after being handed a majority mandate by voters in the last election, it is easy to see House Speaker John Boehner.  He’s goofy, weak and weeps in public,  giving in to feelings rather than commonsense.

REVEALED: THE SECRET IMMIGRATION CHAPTER IN OBAMA’S TRADE AGREEMENT

Discovered inside the huge tranche of secretive Obamatrade documents released by Wikileaks are key details on how technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President Obama’s executive authority when it comes to immigration matters.

The mainstream media covered the Wikileaks document dump extensively, but did not mention the immigration chapter contained within it, so Breitbart News took the documents to immigration experts to get their take on it. Nobody has figured how big a deal the documents uncovered by Wikileaks are until now. (See below)

The president’s Trade in Services Act (TiSA) documents, which is one of the three different close-to-completely-negotiated deals that would be fast-tracked making up the president’s trade agreement, show Obamatrade in fact unilaterally alters current U.S. immigration law. TiSA, like TPP or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) deals, are international trade agreements that President Obama is trying to force through to final approval. The way he can do so is by getting Congress to give him fast-track authority through TPA.

TiSA is even more secretive than TPP. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill can review the text of TPP in a secret, secured room inside the Capitol—and in some cases can bring staffers who have high enough security clearances—but with TiSA, no such draft text is available.

DON’T DRINK THE KOOL AID – OBAMATRADE IS POISON

The grassroots are on fire against ObamaTrade. Conservatives are outraged that the same politicians who said, “Elect me and I will stand up to Obama,” would actually vote to give him more power.

House members are getting scorched from both the right and left. Labor is already running ads against Democrat House members Ami Berra and 

Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY)

0%

 who are supporting ObamaTrade.

Now Republicans are on notice: Obamatrade will be an issue next year, and if you don’t get the picture, we’ve made an ad to help you figure it out.

For ObamaTrade-loving incumbents who think they’re safe because they have overwhelmingly Republican districts, we’re here to tell you no one who betrays the will of the people is safe.  Your vote on fast track will be an issue in the primary.

The politics of ObamaTrade are poisonous. Poll after poll shows a majority of Americans across the political spectrum oppose these phony “free trade” deals – and conservatives oppose them in even greater numbers than Democrats.

It’s especially toxic for Republicans because the white blue collar voters the GOP relies on to win elections positively loathe ObamaTrade. They correctly see it as part of the open borders agenda pitting them against cheap foreign labor. Whether the competition is from illegal/foreign guest workers at home or cheap foreign labor overseas, working Americans take it in the rear, as Mike Huckabee so succinctly put it.

POLL: MAJORITY OF AMERICANS OPPOSE OBAMA’S TRADE AGREEMENT, HURTS AMERICAN WORKERS

A recent NBC News online survey shows a majority of Americans think President Obama’s trade agreement would harm American workers and companies.

“Two-thirds of Americans say protecting American industries and jobs by limiting imports is more important than allowing free trade so they can buy products at lower prices from any country,” reported NBC.

The survey found that this viewpoint was shared across political parties — with Republicans, Democrats and Independents all saying limiting inexpensive goods in order to protect U.S. jobs is more important than being able to purchase low-cost products.

Roughly four out of 10 people with college degrees believe “free trade is more important than limiting imports.”

Only one out of every four people with some college education, “and a third of those with high school degrees or less favor free trade over protecting American industries and jobs.”

The survey was conducted nationally using SurveyMonkey. It sampled 2,153 adults over the age of 18. There is a plus or minus 3 percent rate of error. The poll was held June 3rd through 5th.

EXCLUSIVE — KEVIN MCCARTHY PRESSURED BY REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE: WHAT’S THE RUSH ON OBAMATRADE PLANS WITH ITS ‘GLOBAL GOVERNANCE’ HIDDEN INSIDE?

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)

67%

 is pressuring House GOP leadership, particularly Majority Leader 

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)

47%

, to delay plans to muscle Obamatrade through the House of Representatives quickly. In in a letter to McCarthy obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, he’s asking leadership to slow down and consider the ramifications of what it is doing.

“I write to you today to request that you delay any vote on fast-track authority for the Executive until the President has made public all text and information pertaining to the new economic union known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission, as well the ‘Living Agreement’ authority,” Hunter wrote to McCarthy, his fellow California Republican. “My concern is that this allows the President and the members of the union to change the agreement and its membership following adoption.”

Hunter’s concern is well founded.

Despite claims from some Obamatrade proponents to the contrary, if Congress approves Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track and all but ensure the approval of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Pacific Rim trade deal, the “Living Agreement” inside the TPP would allow President Obama and the other TPP nations to add China or any other country for that matter to the deal without seeking approval from Congress.

China, President Obama confirmed last week, has been in talks with top Obama administration officials already and is interested in becoming part of TPP. If the House approves TPA as the Senate did—thereby ensuring that TPP will approved—then that technically means, despite anything proponents of this deal say, it would be empowering China and undermining the United States.

Hunter’s letter continues by noting that the TPP Commission would create a new global governance, ceding U.S. sovereignty to foreign and global interests, something

MATT DRUDGE SLAMS BOEHNER FOR PROMISING TO PASS OBAMATRADE: ‘CLEARLY TREASON’

Matt Drudge took to Twitter to deliver an ongoing tirade against Republicans’ eagerness to deliver a fast-track trade bill to President Obama’s desk. The bill’s details have not been made public — which hasn’t stopped Republicans from surrendering Congress’s power to make amendments to a president’s future trade deals.

Should a Republican presidential candidate lose the 2016 general election, the Trade Promotion Authority bill could be to blame. Keeping the bill’s details from voters was “clearly treason,” Drudge tweeted.
