Corporate Sovereignty Trumps National Laws

Corporate Sovereignty Trumps National Laws; Here’s How The US Thinks It Can Get Around That For a while now, Techdirt has been writing about the extraordinary corporate sovereignty chapters in trade agreements that grant foreign companies far-reaching powers to sue a government simply for issuing regulations that impact their investments. Recently, there has been a textbook example of how the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals that adjudicate corporate sovereignty cases are literally a law unto themselves. A post on The Hill explains the background: A company sought to develop a mining and marine terminal project in Canada, but it had… View Article

What Does Putin Want?

What Does Putin Want? By Rostislav Ishchenko Foreword by the Saker: The analysis below is, by far, the best I have seen since the beginning of the conflict in the Ukraine.  I have regularly posted analyses by Ishchenko on this blog before, because I considered him as one of the best analysts in Russia.  This time, however, Ishchenko has truly produced a masterpiece: a comprehensive analysis of the geostrategic position of Russia and a clear and, I believe, absolutely accurate analysis of the entire “Putin strategy” for the Ukraine.  I have always said that this conflict is not about the… View Article

Australia: The Secret Country Again Wages War on its Own People

Australia: The Secret Country Again Wages War on its Own People By John Pilger Australia has again declared war on its Indigenous people, reminiscent of the brutality that brought universal condemnation on apartheid South Africa.  Aboriginal people are to be driven from homelands where their communities have lived for thousands of years. In Western Australia, where mining companies make billion dollar profits exploiting Aboriginal land, the state government says it can no longer afford to “support” the homelands. Vulnerable populations, already denied the basic services most Australians take for granted, are on notice of dispossession without consultation, and eviction at… View Article

Oregon kidnaps mom’s three children after deciding her family isn’t tall enough

Oregon kidnaps mom’s three children after deciding her family isn’t tall enough The kidnapping of children by Child Protection Services has become all too common in recent years. Often, the removal of children from their homes is completely unjustified and carried out for the flimsiest of reasons. Such is the case concerning Angela Borths, a caring mother whose three young children have been taken into custody by Oregon CPS authorities. Borths has been accused of “medical neglect,” a very serious-sounding charge, and one which seems totally unfounded when one examines the details involved in the decision. In fact, the removal… View Article

Lobbyist Calling the Shots for #SB277; Community Outpour Ignored

Confirmed: Lobbyist Calling the Shots for #SB277; Community Outpour Ignored After the historic outpouring of families to halt the passing of SB-277 last Wednesday in California, information has now been made public to further put into question the bill’s credibility.  After passing the Sacramento Health Committee vote, the bill was delayed as committee chair Senator Carol Liu wisely told the bill’s author Richard Pan “If I were you, I would not take a vote today.” At the conclusion of the vote, Liu asked Senator Pan point blank how he wanted to proceed. To this, Pan, appearing to have no power… View Article

Bad Guys Pushing THIS WEEK to Promote Global Tyranny Run By Corporations Here’s How to STOP Them The powers-that-be are pushing this week to fast track a horrible treaty which would destroy America. The treaty is called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
