Are European Companies Ignoring E.U. Sanctions On Russia?

Are European Companies Ignoring E.U. Sanctions On Russia?
Kenneth Rapoza: 22 June 2015
…some very powerful entities in the E.U. have had it with sanctions. For example, Gazprom, Shell, E.ON and Austria’s OMV Group signed a memorandum last Thursday…
It’s been nearly a year since sectoral sanctions were slapped on Russia for its involvement in helping create a frozen conflict in Eastern Ukraine. European and American companies banned financing of Russian energy firms, and banks. They banned any joint venture deals with Russian oil and gas companies that involved exploration and production, or the selling of technologies used in E&P. But if a string of memorandum of understandings signed during last week’s St. Petersburg International Forum puts anything in the spotlight this week it is this: some very powerful entities in the E.U. have had it with sanctions.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
The Senate will vote again on Fast Track, tomorrow.
Dear FRIEND:
This is becoming ridiculous.
A month ago, the Senate voted against the "Fast Track" trade giveaway bill. But the job thieves didn't give up - they held another vote, a week later. Thanks to some mumbo-jumbo regarding currency manipulation, 13 Democrats switched sides, and Fast Track passed the Senate.
Two weeks ago, the House voted against the Senate's Fast Track bill or, more specifically, the "trade assistance" part of the bill. But the job thieves didn't give up - they held another vote, a week later. Thanks to some mumbo-jumbo regarding trade assistance, 28 out of 188 House Democrats voted in favor of Fast Track, which sent it back to the Senate, minus trade assistance. (For the names of those House Democrats, see our last e-mail.)
The Senate will vote again on Fast Track, tomorrow. Basically, they're just going to keep voting on it, until you get screwed.
Are you starting to see a pattern here? The job thieves are relentless. So we have to be relentless-er than they are. We need to be just as tireless, steadfast, resolute, persevering, unflagging and indefatigable as they are - more so. We can't give up.
Which means that we need to hit the phones. Again.
Reproduced below, for whatever purposes you deem fit, are the names, addresses and URLs of 13 Senators who really, really ought to hear from you. And here is what they should hear, here:
(1) Our trade debt stands at eleven trillion dollars ($11,000,000,000,000.00). That's more than $35,000 for every human being in America - including you. "Fast Track" would pave the way for new trade bills that would increase that. How are we ever going to pay that money back?
(2) Fast Track applies to whatever the Executive Branch calls a trade agreement, even if it has nothing to do with trade.
(3) Fast Track unconstitutionally restricts Congress from holding hearings, conducting investigations, debating a bill and offering amendments - basically, its job. In fact, it could restrict each House Member to only 83 seconds of debate.
(4) No other bills get this special treatment - not bills on taxes, or Social Security, or defense, or transportation, or healthcare. Nothing.
(5) Fast Track applies to trade bills that the Executive Branch hasn't even released to the public.
(6) None of the "standards" that Fast Track sets for trade agreements is enforceable - not one single standard.
Hear, hear!
Tell them "NO" on Fast Track! Call or e-mail - just do it. Below is a list of every Senate Democrat who voted to let Fast Track steamroll over us, a month ago. Pick one, pick them all, and MAKE THEM LISTEN.
Courage,

The American people have been left largely in the dark

| Dear FRIEND, Once again, fast track has reared its ugly head. While we were able to temporarily defeat fast track, also called Trade Promotion Authority, in the House less than two weeks ago, the bill’s supporters have managed to send it back to the senate.There lawmakers are expected to vote as soon as tomorrow. If it’s approved, it would clear the way for passage of the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Will you tell your senators to reject fast track? Then take a minute to spread the word on Facebook  and Twitter  . Fast track would allow President Obama and his successor to ram trade deals through Congress, only allowing lawmakers an up-or-down vote and forbidding them from adding any amendments.After twenty years of NAFTA, it's clear what these trade agreements do: they push jobs overseas, weaken food and consumer safety standards, circumvent environmental laws, restrict Internet freedom and roll back financial protections. And the process by which the TPP has been negotiated has been decidedly undemocratic. While representatives of some of the nation’s largest corporations have had input, the American people have been left largely in the dark. Demand that your senators reject fast track of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.Then spread the word on Facebook and Twitter .All the best, Sarah Arnold  | ||

The Alice in Wonderland World of Fast-tracked Secret Trade Agreements
 The Alice in Wonderland World of Fast-tracked Secret Trade Agreements
Ellen Brown: TPP, TTIP and TiSA are not about the sort of “free trade” that would free local businesses to sell abroad. They are about freeing international corporations from the government regulation necessary to protect the economy, the people, and the environment.

The surging popularity of Senator Bernie Sanders
Robert Reich via Facebook.com
We are witnessing the largest upsurge of economic populism in recent American history. The fight for a $15 minimum wage, the opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership, the avowed concern about widening inequality even among Republican candidates, and the surging popularity of Senator Bernie Sanders all give evidence. Unlike the Occupy Movement, which eschewed politics, this new movement is committed to political change. Does it herald a fundamental change in America?
