EFF Delivers 210,000 Signatures Opposing Trans-Pacific Partnership (eff.org)
An anonymous Slashdot reader writes:
"The TPP is simply bad for tech users and innovators," writes the Electronic Frontier Foundation, arguing the proposed trade agreement for the Pacific Rim "exports the most onerous parts of U.S. copyright law and prevents the U.S. from improving them in the future, while failing to include the balancing provisions that work for users and innovators, such as fair use." At a press conference, the EFF delivered 210,000 signatures gathered in conjunction with other activist groups "to call on Democratic Party Leader Nancy Pelosi to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership from going to a vote during the 'lame duck' session of Congress following the November election."
More signatures are still being collected online, to be delivered on July 21. In a statement, the EFF adds that the TPP also "does nothing to safeguard the free and open Internet, by including phony provisions on net neutrality and encryption, trade secrets provisions that carry no exceptions for journalism or whistleblowing, and a simplistic ban on data localization...to buy off big tech."

Now that that pesky democracy thing has been nipped in the bud, the Democratic party is doing the right thing. Supporting their masters....

Trump is the Iron Fist. Clinton is the Iron Fist in the velvet glove. I'm voting Trump, at least he honest about who he is.
I just wish Trump would send all the niggers back to Africa. Any who have college degrees, and any black men over the age of 30 who have never been convicted of a crime are "black folk" and wouldn't count as niggers for purposes of the mass deportation. Our cities would BLOSSOM without the oppression of nigger crime, our states and schools would benefit without the expenses of nigger welfare and nigger prosecutions, property values would raise, inner cities would be attractive places to live again like they were under Jim Crow, and we all would be better off. Speaking of schools - without all the niglets filling up the dumb classes our teachers could concentrate on teaching a good curriculum. Plus without niggers Obama would probably never have been elected.
Niggers keep complaining about how much they don't like it here, okay - back to Africa with you! Maybe the local warlord in an African shithole third-world nation will treat you better? Because that's what niggers accomplish when niggers run things without "white racism". Don't like Africa? Maybe Haiti is for you! Yes what a great place, Haiti. The French took a prosperous nation called Haiti and fucking HANDED it OVER to the niggers and it went to shit in short order. Niggers just can't scale up to anything larger than a tribe. We took them out of the jungle and that was a mistake, so it's time to send them back. Then they can spend another several thousand years never advancing beyond primitive tribal existence, never inventing anything, never making discoveries.
