6. Many of the TPP machinations come from WTO agreements

Many of the horrendous ideas (like a closed door tribunal only corporations and government lackeys can attend, like forcing all member countries to accept risky and dangerous stock trading, elimination of all regulatory controls on banks and corporations) come from WTO agreements. I think Obama and the organized money (about 300 very greedy people) behind him want to get these WTO agreements in trade deals to ensure they are enshrined in concrete for the benefit of corporate capitalists.
