Wise Up and Rise Up Wisconsin
♦ Governor
Scott Walker likes to display his rebel side (although it’s an illusion
intended to solidify Tea-Party bona fides in optics only) by riding
around on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. After all, Harley
Davidson is headquartered in Wisconsin.
Well, for now at least.
♦ Wisconsin
representative, now Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, also likes to tout
his form of fiscal conservatism. However, as the former Chairman of
the budgetary ways and means committee, a federal budget is also an
optical illusion (hasn’t been one since ’07).
♦ Representative
Paul Ryan and Governor Scott Walker along with RNC Chairman Reince
Preibus promote themselves as proud Wisconsin cheese-heads;
“conservatives” they say.
Well, given
Paul Ryan’s full-throated endorsement and promotion for the
Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP), perhaps the Wisconsin working voter would like
to see exactly what they have in mind for you. Remember, each of the
aforementioned has also endorsed Senator Ted Cruz – who, not
coincidentally, was the co-author of the Trade Promotion Authority bill
(TPA) which was the vehicle to insure TPP’s passage.
Rather than go through
all of the tentacles, and difficult to understand TPP construct, let’s instead
use that wonderful Scott Walker (Harley Davidson motorcycle) example to show
Wisconsin voters what’s really going on.
Representative Paul Ryan and Senator Ted Cruz created the
legislative vehicle for The Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership, or
TPP. The legislative vehicle for TPP is called Trade
Promotion Authority, or TPA.
Both Ryan and Cruz were actually quite proud of TPA, until
candidate Donald Trump made a campaign issue of the trade deal.
Senator Cruz now claims he doesn’t support TPP.
However, these trade deal
constructs did not happen by accident, they were built and designed for a
reason. The wall street connections to TPP brings the
presidential election race into the more broad agenda, and that’s where you
find a geographical relationship which immediately connects RNC
head Reince Preibus.
You see, sometimes you need to step back to see the larger
picture.
The RNC/GOPe were
bedfellows in 2014 along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its president
Tom Donohue. The U.S. CoC worked earnestly to get the Trans-Pacific
Trade Deal constructed. Donohue being the CEO in charge of the U.S.
Business interests, via the Chamber, who were doing the actual trade deal
negotiations.
The U.S. Chamber (Donohue) also needed a legislative path.
As a consequence the path needs legislatures as bill sponsors.
That’s where Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz come in to the picture. Together in
early 2015 they penned an Op-Ed which appeared in the Wall Street Journal, and
also is available HERE.
How they actually worked
in the House and Senate to get the trade vehicle, TPA, through the
legislative system is quite remarkable. FULL DETAILS HERE.
When it is possible to usurp the will of the people, and
simultaneously position yourself as outside of the construct therein, such Machiavellian plausible
deniability should at
the very least be recognized as brilliant. TPA was a
brutal scheme. TPP is devastating to the U.S. But the way
Ryan/Cruz guided TPA through the House and Senate was brilliant nonetheless.
And
that is where Wisconsinites (Preibus, Ryan, Walker) align with a unity
agenda within the deal itself. A deal constructed by the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, that entirely benefits Wall Street. Read Full Article HERE
