TISA evil corporate trade deal leaked - Wikileaks


I've never heard of it. I guess that's the way the corporations want it. The Trade In Services Agreement (TISA) however is another evil corporate takeover of the world like the TPP, covering two thirds of global GDP. 

Needless to say it's bad for everyone except those getting corporate profits. Most notably it's bad for democracy, a no brainer since it proposes to usurp elected officials for the sake of corporate profits. 
"Preliminary analysis notes that the goal of domestic regulation texts is to remove domestic policies, laws and regulations that make it harder for transnational corporations to sell their services in other countries (actually or virtually), to dominate their local suppliers, and to maximize their profits and withdraw their investment, services and profits at will," writes OWINFS. "Since this requires restricting the right of governments to regulate in the public interest, the corporate lobby is using TISA to bypass elected officials in order to apply a set of across-the-board rules that would never be approved on their own by democratic governments." more
