20,000 Germans In Hannover Turn Out To Protest Obama TTIP Deal As ‘Attack On Democracy’
Thousands of demonstrators have turned out in the German city of Hannover to protest a planned U.S.-Europe TTIP free trade agreement, a day before President Barack Obama arrives.
Thousands of demonstrators have turned out in the German city of Hannover to protest a planned U.S.-Europe TTIP free trade agreement, a day before President Barack Obama arrives.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thousand of Germans turned out to cheer Barack Obama when he gave his globalist New World Order credentials speech at the Brandenburg Gate in 2008. But today, after watching the past 7 years of his Marxist policy making, thousands of Germans have again turned out for his visit, but this time in complete rejection of his TTIP free trade hoax. Evidently, Obama’s power to hypnotically deceive the masses seems to be waning. This is a good day for Germany, and all of Europe.
Police said Saturday that more than 20,000 people gathered for the demonstration. Many in Germany regard the planned Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, with suspicion. Protesters Saturday carried placards with slogans such as “Yes We Can – Stop TTIP!”
Proponents argue that the agreement would boost business at a time of global economic uncertainty, but critics worry that it would erode consumer protection and environmental standards.
Officials in Washington and Europe are trying to clinch key parts of the TTIP deal before the end of the year. Obama is due in Hannover on Sunday to open an annual industrial fair. source
What is TTIP? And six reasons why the answer should scare you
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a series of trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US. As a bi-lateral trade agreement, TTIP is about reducing the regulatory barriers to trade for big business, things like food safety law, environmental legislation, banking regulations and the sovereign powers of individual nations. It is, as John Hilary, Executive Director of campaign group War on Want, said: “An assault on European and US societies by transnational corporations.”
Since before TTIP negotiations began last February, the process has been secretive and undemocratic. This secrecy is on-going, with nearly all information on negotiations coming from leaked documents and Freedom of Information requests.
But worryingly, the covert nature of the talks may well be the least of our problems. Here are six other reasons why we should be scared of TTIP, very scared indeed:
1 The NHS
Public services, especially the NHS, are in the firing line. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europe’s public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS.
The European Commission has claimed that public services will be kept out of TTIP. However, according to the Huffington Post, the UK Trade Minister Lord Livingston has admitted that talks about the NHS were still on the table.
2 Food and environmental safety
TTIP’s ‘regulatory convergence’ agenda will seek to bring EU standards on food safety and the environment closer to those of the US. But US regulations are much less strict, with 70 per cent of all processed foods sold in US supermarkets now containing genetically modified ingredients. By contrast, the EU allows virtually no GM foods. The US also has far laxer restrictions on the use of pesticides. It also uses growth hormones in its beef which are restricted in Europe due to links to cancer. US farmers have tried to have these restrictions lifted repeatedly in the past through the World Trade Organisation and it is likely that they will use TTIP to do so again.
The same goes for the environment, where the EU’s REACH regulations are far tougher on potentially toxic substances. In Europe a company has to prove a substance is safe before it can be used; in the US the opposite is true: any substance can be used until it is proven unsafe. As an example, the EU currently bans 1,200 substances from use in cosmetics; the US just 12.
3 Banking regulations
TTIP cuts both ways. The UK, under the influence of the all-powerful City of London, is thought to be seeking a loosening of US banking regulations. America’s financial rules are tougher than ours. They were put into place after the financial crisis to directly curb the powers of bankers and avoid a similar crisis happening again. TTIP, it is feared, will remove those restrictions, effectively handing all those powers back to the bankers.
4 Privacy
Remember ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement)? It was thrown out by a massive majority in the European Parliament in 2012 after a huge public backlash against what was rightly seen as an attack on individual privacy where internet service providers would be required to monitor people’s online activity. Well, it’s feared that TTIP could be bringing back ACTA’s central elements, proving that if the democratic approach doesn’t work, there’s always the back door. An easing of data privacy laws and a restriction of public access to pharmaceutical companies’ clinical trials are also thought to be on the cards.
5 Jobs
The EU has admitted that TTIP will probably cause unemployment as jobs switch to the US, where labour standards and trade union rights are lower. It has even advised EU members to draw on European support funds to compensate for the expected unemployment.
Examples from other similar bi-lateral trade agreements around the world support the case for job losses. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Canada and Mexico caused the loss of one million US jobs over 12 years, instead of the hundreds of thousands of extra that were promised.
6 Democracy
TTIP’s biggest threat to society is its inherent assault on democracy. One of the main aims of TTIP is the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which allow companies to sue governments if those governments’ policies cause a loss of profits. In effect it means unelected transnational corporations can dictate the policies of democratically elected governments.
ISDSs are already in place in other bi-lateral trade agreements around the world and have led to such injustices as in Germany where Swedish energy company Vattenfall is suing the German government for billions of dollars over its decision to phase out nuclear power plants in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in Japan. Here we see a public health policy put into place by a democratically elected government being threatened by an energy giant because of a potential loss of profit. Nothing could be more cynically anti-democratic.
There are around 500 similar cases of businesses versus nations going on around the world at the moment and they are all taking place before ‘arbitration tribunals’ made up of corporate lawyers appointed on an ad hoc basis, which according to War on Want’s John Hilary, are “little more than kangaroo courts” with “a vested interest in ruling in favour of business.”
So I don’t know about you, but I’m scared. I would vote against TTIP, except… hang on a minute… I can’t. Like you, I have no say whatsoever in whether TTIP goes through or not. All I can do is tell as many people about it as possible, as I hope, will you. We may be forced to accept an attack on democracy but we can at least fight against the conspiracy of silence. source

Flush With Cash From The Biden Administration, Ukraine Is Now Saying They Have The Capability To Produce A ‘Homemade Nuke’ To Fight Russia With
Ukraine has the resources and expertise to indigenously produce a large quantity of nuclear weapons at short notice if it was forced to do so, a briefing document meant for top government figures allegedly says, a report states.
Today, Biden administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked, bragged actually, about the massive amount of money the United States is planning on funneling, some would say laundering, to Ukraine in their endless war with Russia. It’s already at $8.5 billion since September, with many more billions to follow. What is Ukraine doing with that money? Making homemade nuclear bombs to attack Russia with.
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)
The west and NATO continue to do this funny, little dance that draws us ever closer to WWIII, not the least of which is a proxy war being waged through Ukraine against Russia. If Ukraine actually starts building ‘homemade nukes’ it can only end in disaster. The fact that the outgoing Biden administration is bragging about the obscene amounts of money being given to Ukraine, in light of the very sparse support for Americans after things like hurricanes and floods, is beyond appalling. This is one of the main reasons why Donald Trump won in a landslide, to return some sense of normalcy to Washington, if such a thing can actually be done. There are still another 67 days left in the Biden administration, and they can still do a lot of damage.
Ukraine Believes it Can Build its Own Nuclear Bombs From Spent Fuel Rods in Months: Report
FROM BREITBART NEWS: A briefing produced for the Ukrainian defence ministry allegedly explaining to policy makers that the country could rapidly develop rudimentary nuclear bombs from spent fuel rods and long-range ballistic missiles to carry them states this could be achieved in just months.
Claimed as an exclusive by The Times of London, the document is presented by the newspaper as illustrating a potential backstop for the country to defend itself from the Russian Federation if the United States under a Trump Presidency withdrew military support. President Trump has made clear he wishes to bring peace to Europe quickly, but has not yet revealed how. Many of the options open to him do not align with the official Kyiv policy as the only acceptable end to the war being total victory over Russia.
Antony Blinken: “Every dollar (billions) we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door to Ukraine between now and January 20th.” This while FEMA is telling workers to not assist Trump supporters devastated by the last hurricane in Florida. pic.twitter.com/52taC3RyfP
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) November 14, 2024
The paper cites key lines from the report, written for the Ukraine government’s Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies by Oleksii Yizhak, a senior leader at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, also a government think tank, both of which work in an official capacity advising the Presidency of Ukraine. It allegedly notes: “Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later”.
“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war… They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”
The degree to which the briefing was solely meant for the illumination of top Ukrainian cabinet ministers — given the dissemination of key paragraphs in a widely-read English newspaper — or is partly intended as a veiled threat to both Moscow and Washington D.C., is naturally hard to immediately ascertain. Certainly, the Ukrainian government communicated a rebuttal overnight, stating the country was bound by a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet this denial came without addressing the actual points in the briefing that the authors believe the country has legal grounds to unilaterally withdraw from those obligations, given it could claim other partners haven’t honoured it.
Whatever the truth, it is certain that the emergence of a new rogue nuclear state willing to use unsophisticated, low-yield nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe to defend its sovereignty from an aggressor would be not well received by Western capitals, and least of all by European nations threatened by drifting fallout clouds.

In Amsterdam, Antisemitic Rioters Shout ‘Kanker Joden!’ Targeting The Jews In An Unprecedent Wave Of Nazi-Like Violence And Attacks
‘Kanker Joden!’: Trams set alight, violence erupts in Amsterdam in second wave of antisemitic attacks against Jews in Europe
Europe has been a hotbed of antisemitic violence ever since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel took place, and over the past 72 hours in the European city of Amsterdam, it has been a literal Nazi rally on the streets. Jews are absolutely not safe there, and should leave immediately. Earlier this evening, hundreds of pro-Palestinian citizens protested in the streets shouting ‘Kanker Joden!’, which is to say that the ‘Jews are a cancer’. Adolf Hitler said the same thing back in 1935, what’s old has suddenly become new again.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)
Nazism did not die when WWII came to an end in 1945, it just went underground to wait for the right time to reemerge. Events continuing to unfold in Amsterdam shows that is alive and in 2024, and just looking for a leader. It’s a bad time to be a Jew, and according to the prophets, it’s going to get a whole lot worse very soon. Pray for the Jewish people, pray for Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police earlier in the day at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests.
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Violence erupted on the streets of Amsterdam on Monday night in the second wave of antisemitic attacks to hit the Dutch capital over the last week, according to local media reports. One of the city’s famous trams was set alight by rioters dressed in black and armed with fireworks, according to De Telegraaf. The rioters threw debris and shouted “Kanker Joden” (cancer Jews), but it is used to mean “f*** the Jews.”
Rioters reportedly burned a tram in the city’s western suburbs and clashed with police earlier in the day. A police spokesman said a tram at the ’40-’45 Square in the west part of Amsterdam had caught fire, likely caused by fireworks thrown at it. The windows of the tram were shattered. No one was injured in the incident, as the tram had been empty, the spokesman said.
Amsterdam is conducting a pogrom against the Jews and it’s getting worse by the day. Amsterdam tonight. They shouted “Cancer Jews!” https://t.co/HNWiNCzmsR

Masked men reportedly roamed the streets yelling “Free Palestine.” De Telegraaf reported that journalists witnessed a bystander being ripped from his bike and beaten by the rioters. Geert Wilders, leader of the PVV, responded to the events by saying, “After the Jew-hunt, the Intifada.”
Wilders has been a strong defender of Israel and the Netherlands’s Jewish population while being deeply critical of Dutch immigration and integration policy.
Wilders heads the Dutch Parliament’s largest party, the Party for Freedom (PVV); however, due to being an extremely controversial figure within Dutch politics, he was blocked from becoming Prime Minister or even a minister. Instead, Wilders helped organize the ruling bloc and assisted in steering policies, in effect being the de facto Prime Minister.
Amsterdam was rocked by a pogrom that targeted Jews and Israelis in the city immediately after the soccer match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Dutch team Ajax.
Pro-Palestine protestors had clashed with riot police on Monday at Amsterdam’s central Dam Square, leading to over 50 arrests, according to Deutsche Welle. Following the attack, the city announced a three-day ban on all demonstrations to maintain public order. Furthermore, the government had announced it would hold stricter border control until December 9.
Hundreds of people defied the ban, which had been upheld by a local court earlier in the day. They chanted “Free Palestine” and “Shame on you” and called for an end to the war in Gaza. READ MORE
Israeli and pro-Palestine clashes: How a night of violence in Amsterdam unfolded
One unconscious man is kicked in the back. Another pleads for mercy in a narrow alleyway before being punched in the head. And a third Israeli citizen is made to shout “Free Palestine” after jumping into a canal to save himself. Amsterdam is reeling from what has been called a “Jew hunt” and “pogrom” on its streets that has rekindled memories of Europe’s darkest hours. After Maccabi Tel Aviv had played a Europa League match against Ajax on Thursday night, Israeli fans were chased with knives, humiliated and assaulted across the Dutch capital.

Emmanuel Macron
Emmanuel Macron Called For A ‘New International Order’ In Paris As Well As A Two State Solution And A Truce in Lebanon At The United Nations This Week
French President Emmanuel Macron called for a ‘new international order’ during his speech at the Sant’Egidio International Meeting for Peace in Paris yesterday and spoke of “rethinking” relations with Russia amidst the war in Ukraine.
It has been a very busy week for French President Emmanuel Macron, first at the Sant’Egidio International Meeting for Peace in Paris on the 22nd, and at the United Nations in New York City on the 25th. At the first meeting, he laid out his vision for a new world order, and at the second, his repeated call for a Two State Solution for the Palestinians. Anyone have Macron on their scorecard for ‘man of sin’? I do.
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)
Like Hitler before him, Emmanuel Macron is not someone that can accused of having a hidden agenda, the things he wants to bring in are right out in the open for all to see. Hitler wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ to tell the world what his plans were, Emmanuel Macron does the same thing behind a mic at the UN. On top of everything else, he also called for an immediate truce in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel.
Emmanuel Macron Calls for New World Order in Paris and a Two State Solution at United Nations
FROM NEWSWEEK: Macron, president of France since 2017, said that he wanted a new order to maintain peace on the continent and around the world.
“We try to walk with this European political community but we will have to think of a new form of organization of Europe and rethink our relationship to Russia,” he said. “In the same way as you said we have to build a new international order, is undoubtedly the greatest challenge of the moment because our order today is incomplete and unjust.”
He added: “We need to think about the world in a new form. It is necessary to take into account the geographical reality of Europe, which is not limited to either the EU or, most definitely, NATO. We need to think about a new form of organization of Europe and rethink relations with Russia in the future, as well as peace on this continent,” according to Oreanda News.
“The international community must evince the political will to ensure a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” Emmanuel Macron said
The French president noted how the current world order was created after World War II and is “incomplete” because it did not take into account climate change, the technological revolution, or other future world changes.
Macron said that a new model needed to take into account equal representation for all European nations and consider larger peacebuilding tactics. Russia’s Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Macron’s speech. “Obviously, as the security architecture of Europe is changing by leaps and bounds, it is necessary to build it anew. The whole system of international relations is changing,” he said, according to the Russian news agency Tass. Peskov also reportedly emphasized that the building of the new world order would be of particular interest to the Kremlin as it would ensure Russia’s legitimate security interest.
Macron initially received criticism for his comments on Russia, specifically when he said, “We must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means,” in 2022. READ MORE
UNGA 2024: Macron warns Israel against expanding war to Lebanon, calls for Palestinian state
Day two of the UN General Assembly was dominated by concerns over the escalating Gaza war and the potential for conflict spreading across the Middle East. French President Emmanuel Macron criticised Israel’s prolonged military campaign in Gaza, warning against expanding operations into Lebanon. He stressed the importance of diplomacy to protect civilians and prevent a regional escalation, also calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought continued support against Russia’s invasion, but discussions remained largely focused on the growing threat of conflict in the Middle East.
