Dissident Voice reports:
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.

Don't expect any significant changes. The people that should protest won't, because they have too much to lose. They're all slaves of the banks and tax system. They will lose their house, car, children's education et cetera if they man the barricades for more than a week. Only the people who have nothing to lose sometimes start a riot, but that won't change a thing on this level.

I believe this is why change is oft driven by the youth.

However, if they do lose their house, car, children's education, etc, that will be the catalyst for revolution.
The Illuminati have a fine balancing act to perform. Can they pull it off? Most people will accept any loss of liberty as long as the bread and circuses continue. I get the impression that the bread might be in short supply soon. The rich evacuate to their luxury bunkers, then we back up the cement trucks and backhoes as Phoenix suggested and move on. Hopefully.
