Speaking from his 'prison' in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange explains the Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty, which would link his home country of Australia with the U.S. economically. "It is mostly not about trade," Assange says. "Only 5 of the 29 Chapters are about traditional trade."

JULIAN ASSANGE, WIKILEAKS: First of all, it is the largest ever international economic treaty that has ever been negotiated, very considerably larger than NAFTA. It is mostly not about trade, only 5 of the 29 Chapters are about traditional trade.

The others are about regulating the internet, and what information internet service providers have to collect, they have to hand it over to companies under certain circumstances, the regulation of labor conditions, regulating the way you can favor local industry, regulating the hospital, health care system, privatization of hospitals, so essentially every aspect of a modern economy, even banking services are in the TPP.

So that is erecting and embedding new ultramodern neoliberal structure over U.S. law and the laws of other countries. And putting it in treaty form.

By putting it in a treaty form, there are 14 countries involved, that means it is very hard to overturn, so if there is a desire, a democratic desire to do it on a different path. For example, to introduce more public transport. Then you can't easily change the TPP treaty, because you have to go back to the other nations involved. . .

Dollarwise I am rich at present. I would like to be wealthy. But BY DESIGN I am not able to be wealthy inside the USA unless I am selected.

And I’m not talking about winning the multi-state powerball lottery for a quarter billion dollars.

$250,000,000 is very rich, but it’s not wealthy. With $250 million I can buy a US Senate seat and cater to the very wealthy.

And those wealthy will want me to vote to tax the rich (not themselves because they pay no taxes) and redistribute to the welfare class. Why? Because they want to control who is a member of their class.

The Income tax is the tool that rich caterers to the wealthy use to whack the competition.

This is relevant to this article because the TPP extends the barriers to wealth to a global scale. I am presently doing global internet sales which is my pathway to wealth. TPP will place barriers in front of my existing business.

And TPP is a contrivance of the uber wealthy.

And just for those reading, I am talking about monetary wealth, not spiritual wealth.
