The text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement was released by TPP Parties on 5 November 2015 and can be accessed by chapter. The text will continue to undergo legal review and will be translated into French and Spanish language versions prior to signature.

All 30 Chapters and all Annexes are available for download as a single .zip file.

Note: Subsequent to this story being submitted, Ars Technica published an article Obama praises Trans-Pacific Partnership accord as full text is released which notes:

The President Barack Obama administration and other countries released the entire 2,000-page Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement on Thursday—a proposed 12-nation pact dealing with everything from intellectual property to human rights. It took five years of secret negotiations to finalize but only a moment for Obama to praise the pact publicly.

[...] The nations in the accord include the US, Japan, Australia, Peru, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Chile, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, and Brunei. They represent about 40 percent of the global economy.

The article goes on to list some of the benefits (tariffs lowered or removed) and controversies (exports US copyright law regarding how long a copyright lasts to be life of author plus 70 years after death.)

So, now that the full text is out and available for review, what say you Soylentils? Does it provide a good balance for all parties involved? What are the upsides and downsides? Who are the winners and losers?

    Now the TPP comes, and i think "WE'RE SURROUNDED BY NAZI'S", and who will stand up for ME?!?!

    Well, if you were surrounded by real "Nazis" they would be standing up for you. That's the truth. Germany's National Socialists fought against the International Bankers, Banning secret societies / clubs, and unjust "reparations". And in just a few short years your surroundings would have gone from a destitute slum to a world power capable of nearly winning the fight against global bankers and communism. This is why "Nazis" can never be allowed to rise again: They are the ones that value the common man rather than the "1%". Anyone can see this if they just ignored the ridiculous anti-Nazi propaganda, and took another look at WWII. [youtube.com]

    Of course most will simply believe bullshit like: "Nazis were evil, they wanted to exterminate Jews", while ignoring they just wanted to exile the subversive element which was dominating the news, radio and film media, owners of international banks which bankrupted the people, declared economic War on Germany before any aggression was taken by Germany, boycotted Germany to destroy its economy in violation of international treaties, were the leaders of the Bolshevik (communist) Revolution, and who attempted treasonous revolts against Germany itself. Unfortunately, when the allies destroyed the supply lines near the end of the war the ongoring Typhus epidemic went wild and people in concentration work camps starved -- just like the rest of Germany.

    Typhus was so bad that delousing was mandatory when crossing into some areas of Germany. Everyone had to be shorn and deloused in concentration camps to prevent deaths from typhus. The delousing agent Zyklon-B
    was used to gas clothing, not people. This you can see in the blue residue the agent left on the walls of the small delousing chambers, but NOT even in trace amounts on the walls of "gas chambers" in Auschwitz or other "death camps" (as claimed by the owners of western media).

    But hey, it's not your fault all you know is propaganda spewed by companies controlled and owned by international bankers and communists. Everyone knows the winners of the war rewrite the history of events in their favor. Oh, but except when it comes to National Socialist Germany and WWII? Yeah right, don't be a fool. Hey, you know what? During and after the Bolshevik Revolution 12 to 20 million Christians were executed. Now that's a Double or Triple "Holocaust"! But, you don't see tear jerking movies about in Hollywood.... huh, I wonder why? Just read the names in the credits of all the films and find the incredibly significant statistical commonality.

    Wise up. Hitler had Blacks and Jews willingly fighting on his side. National and Ethnic pride was not to be exclusive to Germans, under National Socialism all peoples should embrace their family, culture, and heritage -- not erase their culture via massive foreign immigration as you see today. Interestingly, replacement of a culture via immigration is also officially classified as Genocide by the UN and NATO, but you won't hear anyone in the Mainstream Media citing this and saying that making ethnic Europeans the minority in Europe is literally a genocide. "Nazi" was a slur invented by the west. National Socialism is vilified so fiercely because it's the only system proven to win against the "1%" you wish to fight against. Look into who owns the establishment. Protip: The Rothschild family is Jewish. I don't hate Jews, and neither did Hitler. But what National Socialists did hate was the vile teachings of the Talmud. If you read the Talmud you will also realize what Hitler did: The Jewish religion incites its followers to lie to, subvert, hate and eradicate the "goyim" (non Jewish people), who are to be treated as cattle.

    Indeed, you're being farmed. You're afraid of "Nazis", because they would be your ally. This is PSYOP 101.
