STORY SUMMARY

A forum on the Trans-Pacific Partnership was held Wednesday night in Hilo.

As Closed Door, Multi-National Negotiations Held On Big Island

HILO – A community forum was held in Hilo Wednesday night on the subject of the Trans-Pacific Partnership – a proposed regional regulatory and investment treaty involving twelve countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region currently in negotiations. This week, those negotiations are reportedly being conducted, behind closed doors, at the posh Waikoloa resorts. It was a great opportunity for those opposed to the TPP to speak out.

Jim Albertini of the Malu ‘Aina Center For Non-violent Education & Action helped organize the forum. Here is the full audio from the three featured speakers.

  1. The question is, why are so many of us walking around like “chickens” with our heads cut off?

    Is it because its true, that our pineal glands are no longer functioning because of the genetic GMO foods, fluorides and the activities of our politicians to work against our best interest?

    It’s interesting that “We The People” have given up on education & our own well being in exchange for suffering, undeclared wars and the fact that we simply don’t care to live in this world anymore!

    So who rules this earth next, aliens from another world or dimensional travelers because we lack the will to fight back?

    These are not human’s ruling this Earth!
