It is a fact that the TPP is an early stage of a process that is a threat to clasical liberalism-

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_integration#Stages

And people like to criticize the Koch Brothers and George Soros, but how many policy promoting non phrofits does David Rockefeller have? Dozens?

What if Rockefeller's personal political philosophies are flawed? Him and the Foreign Policy Establishment have uniformly defined globalization as Balassa's theory of economic integration.

The TPP is the 2nd or 3rd stage of a 7 stage process. It is very dangerous, if you believe in natural rights and human freedom.

It is indeed a fact that the TPP moves us closer to Economic Integration. Claiming that Economic Integration is a threat to classical liberalism is your opinion, and is not supported by the link you cited.

Economic Integration is undeniably a threat to American sovereignty and classical liberalism. The evidence is overwhelming.

The entire concept is that the centralization of power is always a good thing. There is no acknowledgement of natural rights in the European Union.

So a supranational world government that replaces the American Constitution and Bill of Rights is going to be rooted in popular sovereignty? Ha.

You are being overly optimistic in a world full of powerhungry collectivists who certainly see classical liberalism as an impediment to world peace and a perfect society.
