Just putting this out there as a discussion thread, and in light of Trumps stance on trade renegotiating and of walls; these are the things that the TNC's (trans-national corporations) with their political and media clappers seem most concerned about. This perhaps is part of why so much focus and vitriol has been thrown at Trump. Walls, they have been talked about long before Trump, yet the mechanisms of these trade agreements want seamlessness between all nations whereby some signed on because they would be economically and likely militarily hurt if they did not, and the TNC's needed agreements. These agreements are part of a design in the liquidation of a countries assets via privatization, law suites and taxpayer subsidies (corp-welfare state) along with the demise of a countries very sovereignty: the agreements are akin to a parasitic economic Trans-National mechanism.

Nothing new here, yet from a Canadian political system that was 'instrumental' in the agreements fruition from back in the Mulroney/Reagan - Bush Sr./Chrétien/Clinton - Bush Jr./Martin - Harper/Bush - Obama era with its triumph welcomed under Obama and later under Clinton was very likely (TTP agreement). Yet again, Canada has been willing instruments.

Here is an overview from Shelly Anne Clark from back during the formation of NAFTA (from the Canadian side - yet it was really from the position of the integrated Trans Nationals).

NAFTA - The Sale Of A Country

Former federal civil servant and whistle-blower Shelley Ann Clark worked in the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Negotiations Office as an Executive Assistant to the third highest ranking negotiator on Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's staff.

From 1986 - 1988 Clark was ordered to falsify, shred and eventually remove key briefing papers designed to mislead provincial premiers as to what was really being given away in the Free Trade Agreement. Under threat of having her career destroyed and becoming unemployable, she was commanded to secretly remove and transfer key documents.

Clark is author of the book "The Sale Of A Country" that chronicles the story of how the premiers and citizens of Canada were not shown the real Free Trade Agreement with the U.S., and how it has affected her life and the lives of all citizens.

The "mainstream" national media won't touch Shelley Ann Clark and lawyers and politicians will not sue her. She was courageous in exposing the TRUTH about how our sovereignty and resources have been bartered off in order to profit an elite minority.



See here for Part II whereby she spends some time talking about after the agreement when they sent her to Vienna as part of the foreign office and what she deems as a poisoning - prescribed drugs (following a dinner) that were taking her potassium levels down to zero.

For a much larger overview by another woman in Canada on various inner workings of agreements and what they mean, see below:
