JBS CEO Art Thompson’s weekly news video update for June 15 – 21, 2015.
In this week’s Analysis Behind the News video, JBS CEO Art Thompson discusses how the issue of free trade has finally become news, while JBS has been highlighting this issue for over two years now; how a deceptive postcard mailer is being sent to the constituents of certain Republican congressmen that claims the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an American initiative that would counter China’s attempts to create its own trading bloc; how a press release from whitehouse.gov and documents from many other sources prove that the long-range plan of the United States and China (as leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC) involves using the TPP as a transitional step towards developing the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP) that would eventually integrate the economies of the U.S. and China; and how Senator Jeff Sessions has recently sent an open letter to President Obama that makes the case that the TPP would lead us into an EU-style Pacific Union.
