Related: About this forumBill Moyers interview with John R. MacArthur: Democrats Bow Down to Wall Street
December 12, 2014
Negotiators from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are in Washington this week for a new round of talks which they hope will lead them closer to agreement on the trade deal. President Obama has called passage of TPP a high priority.
This week, Bill speaks with outspoken veteran journalist John R. MacArthur, president and publisher of Harpers Magazine, about the problems with TPP, which is being negotiated in secret, behind closed doors. MacArthur says that the free trade agreement will take jobs away from Americans: I guarantee you, this is a way to send more jobs [abroad], particularly to Vietnam and Malaysia.
Obamas commitment to trade is just another example of his indebtedness to Wall Street for massive campaign contributions. Hillary Clinton, who MacArthur describes as to the right of Americans political beliefs, may be scaring off progressives looking to run in 2016 as she is very much in harmony with Wall Street.
There are a lot of people who would make good candidates, but theyre intimidated by the Clinton fundraising machine.

The video needs to be viewed by the citizens of this country.
We are being lied to and manipulated on a scale that is truly devastatingly frightening.

(10,495 posts)Publicly Funded Elections should be the #1 goal. Plan this like a war. The best way to stop them is to prevent them legally buying our Representatives and lock the revolving door! Bust up their money plant on Wall Street and their Propaganda machine in the oligarchic MSM! We cannot wait any longer!
