In a nutshell, the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement will allow corporations to sue entire nations and circumvent consumer safety and environmental laws as well as force ISPs to spy on their customers for Hollywood's benefit and much more. See this video for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnC1mqyAXmw
Affected countries are United States, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Chile, Singapore, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand and Brunei. The EU is also getting a similar bill passed called the TTIP.
The worst part about this bill is that it will remain secret to the public for four years after it's accepted and is due to be passed this year.

The "find out more" from the video you have provided seems to be very John Birch Society level about Obama takin' our guns! The EFF seems to be against it though, so it's probably a shitstorm of international agreements overwriting national laws in several countries. I can't say I think much of copyright law at this point, so fuck all that.I suppose I'm with you. I'd write my congressman, but I live in a really republican area...

> so umm, how is an agreement that allows companies to sue the government going to get signed into law by the government who will be sued?
Because the multinationals that are fucking us over live in the US of A and they already have a firm grip on the policies and politicians of the country.

It's called TTIP in Britain, and it could mean that the USA may buy us out.

He is not totally bad however. He mentions how the highest classes live inside their own bubble and are becoming very isolated from the rest of their countries. He even secretly calls them snobs

He was famous for not understanding statistics, genetics, and development of the maturing brain a couple of decades ago, so naturally the political commentators loved him.
