Related: About this forumChris Hedges and Kevin Zeese: TPP -- The Most Brazen Corporate Power Grab in American History
Published on Nov 16, 2015
In this episode of Days of Revolt, host Chris Hedges and organizer Kevin Zeese break down the terms of the TransPacific Partnership (TPP). The two deconstruct how the TPP and other associated trade deals like TiSA and TTIP, if approved, will lead to the irreversible privatization of public services, the dismantling of peoples judiciary rights, and the further corporatization of pharmaceuticals, labor, and natural resources. Zeese highlights the importance of direct action in combatting these injustices, specifically detailing upcoming demonstrations he has organized with PopularResistance.

Simplify the election issue to something that has nothing to do with the corporate grab of power. They hope American's don't see through this ruse until after the election, when it will be too late to challenge.
