A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Pacific Trade Deal Details Secret: Why?

Very little is known about the content of the secretive trade deal and it is, from the American perspective, a way of extending the US’s influence in Asia.

                                                                      -- The London Guardian


Why are these details being kept so secret?  Are its sponsors afraid the American people would oppose this deal if they understood it clearly?

This surely is not democracy.
