The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement

USA - Don't think that Republicans are going to save the country, because they support "Free Trade" much more than Democrats do. The President is seeking Fast Track authority to allow passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, or TPP, in the first quarter of 2015. The TPP has been negotiated in secret by global corporations, and even Congress has been denied access to the proceedings! With Fast Track, the TPP will face an up or down vote with minimal debate, and require only 50.01% to pass. If passed, TPP will signal the complete end to American national sovereignty, turning over trade and economic policy-making to global bodies. TPP is a clear and present danger, and yet there is very attention being given to it.

Do people know where their chicken comes from?

UK - Campaigners say chicken meat needs better labelling. How much do people really know about the life of a chicken before it reaches their plate? A long, low, metal shed, fed by large plastic drums, pipes and chimneys - to the layman it looks like a small chemical plant. Hidden in the folds of the Peak District, it's an incongruous sight. The only hint that living things are housed inside is the pungent smell from the extractor fan - like a mixture of a pet shop and manure.

US seniors face student loan debt

USA - Around the world, student debt is a financial burden for millions - and in the US, a growing number of senior citizens are still repaying the cost of their education into retirement age. In 2005, older adults owed $2.8 billion (£1.61 billion) in federal student debt. By 2013, that figure that had ballooned to $18.2 billion, according to a report released last month by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Students in the US often take out loans, both privately funded and financed by the US Department of Education, to pay their school fees. While other loans, such as a home mortgage, can be forgiven if a borrower files for bankruptcy, student loans cannot.

 
Emergency Agencies Practice Response To Nuclear Explosion In Times Square

USA - The New York City region’s emergency agencies are practicing for a disaster. The city’s Office of Emergency Management ran a training exercise Wednesday that simulated a response to a 10-kiloton nuclear device exploding at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported. According to the exercise, 100,000 people were instantly killed; a wave of overpressure took down buildings for a half-mile radius and did damage for up to two miles; and a radiation cloud swept over the region. Esposito said the blast would produce an electromagnetic pulse, disrupting much of communications, Lamb reported. “What’s the message? Shelter in place, evacuate, seek medical aid. How would we do that?”

VATICAN - A leftist element within the Vatican was behind a controversial church document calling for liberal attitudes toward gays, divorce and remarriage, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, tells Newsmax TV. The liberal bishops who wrote it made a calculated gamble that it would pick up steam when they flagrantly leaked it to the press, Donohue said Tuesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

The eurozone’s German problem

EUROPE - There is a deal to be done to save the euro from deepening crisis. The outlines of it are generally accepted outside Germany: structural reforms in France and Italy and elsewhere combined with measures to strengthen their long-term fiscal positions; and in return, a large pan-eurozone fiscal stimulus and quantitative easing (QE) by the ECB. This offers the best way out of the current impasse in the eurozone, not just for the periphery but also for Germany. But it will take a political earthquake for the Germans to back such a deal.

UK - “Thank goodness that one’s out of the way”, a leading UK banker told me recently, referring to the decisive “no” vote in the Scottish independence referendum. “Now it’s Europe we’ve got to convince people of, but we can win that one too, and then perhaps all this uncertainty will be behind us”. With regard to the uncertainty, somehow I doubt it.

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
