At the risk of being locked as a drive-by, I admit to a growing speechlessness as I've watched this thing reveal itself over the last 30 days....

If there is ANY pattern that has been revealed under the "Executive Order" fiasco of late, it is the authorities that Congress has abdicated to the Executive and his various agencies over the past 50 years. And if what we've been hearing is even half true, the TPP takes the supremacy of American Law and the exclusive authority of the American Congress to create it in representative self-control of the American populace... and dumps it out the window.

For those who might be more knowing, has the GOA article as cited above overstated this ?
Or is thing actually worse than revealed?

It's bad enough that congresscritters who attended a briefing were not allowed to keep their notes when they left. It's an Obama creation -- of course it's worse than revealed.

Remember Obamacare: "We have to pass it to know what's in it."

Secret Deal Could Contain a Myriad of Gun Restrictions, Ammo Bans!

The article is disappointing because it preys on everyone's fears by dealing entirely with speculation about what could be in an agreement. Mom's chocolate pie recipe could be in the agreement, but that does not mean it will be.

Does anyone here have any link to any other news article? Infowars is known for conspiracy theory trash.

"Give us the authority... but we won't necessarily use it."
(How many times have we heard this before?)

FIRST LAW of any power structure, however initially benign:
"If the Power/Information exists, it will be used."

The article cited most specifically does not say that the initial TPP has gun provisions. It does say it establishes the process which sweeps aside all normal checks & balances -- and leaves the door wide open to near unfettered introduction of European weapons controls and strictures.

The only source given so far is Alex Jones, a man known for exaggeration and spurious conclusions. The so-called Fast Track system was implemented by the Bush administration. It's nothing new. Furthermore, any deal the President proposes has to be approved by Congress.

There's really nothing to see here, except that Alex Jones is trolling us yet again.

 

[Dixie Gunsmithing]

I wouldn't put much stock in Alex Jones, since he rubs shoulders with the likes of Bill Schnoebelen, David Icke, Jim Marrs, etc, etc. They will spread any conspiracy theory going, to make a buck, even after it's been debunked many times. When it comes out in a well known and respected newspaper or magazine is when to take it seriously.
