A mass mobilization in Washington, DC from November 14 to 18 has been announced to begin the next stage of the campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
[...] "At its root, the TPP is about modern colonialism. It is the way that Western governments and their transnational corporations, including Wall Street banks, can dominate the economies of developing nations", said Margaret Flowers, co-director of Popular Resistance. She continued "The reality is that without trade justice there cannot be climate justice, food justice; there cannot be health justice or wage justice. That is why people are mobilizing to stop the TPP."
[...] The groups will begin their protests [on Monday morning, November 16] at the US Trade Representative building on 17th Street with the message that the TPP betrays the people, planet, and democracy.
This will be followed that evening by a protest that begins at the US Chamber of Commerce and White House then marches along K Street and ends at the Reagan International Trade Center.
The next day, the groups will have an international focus protesting at multiple sites along Embassy Row to stand in solidarity with people around the world who are fighting to stop the TPP.
On the final day, the groups will focus on Congress.

Have an even more cynical AC. There are a shitload of paid shills working every major internet community, another shitload of people working for free hoping to get paid in the future, and yet another shitload of gullible idiots going along with the "popular" "consensus". Their tactics include:
* Accuse their debate opponents of an evil agenda ("racist" and "right-wing" are common accusations)
* Say that everything is going to fail and you might as well give up.
* Have another shill politely agree with the first.
* Have another shill ridicule whoever disagreed with the first.
* Cause a shitstorm whenever someone disputes their narrative until admins ban the entire argument to get rid of the shitstorm.

It is no coincidence that many of the organizations that protested against CISPA and CDA have been silent on TPP.
It is no coincidence that Reddit now denies ever claiming to be for free speech and that the moderators aligned with SRS remove posts about the TPP.
It is no coincidence that the EFF has no statement on its website about the judicial order banning Aaron Walker from writing about the past of Brett Kimberlin.
