In this situation its probably a matter of 'don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity'?
OTOH - the mainstream media is not reporting on this at all. Doing a search for 'trans pacific partnership' on CNN - the first result is a story about the G-20 Summit on Jul. 15th.
The more you look at, investigate and try and understand this story the crazier you may seem to other people.
