Islam A. Siddiqui (ISi)
Islam A. Siddiqui is the former Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Prior to this, he was Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America, an agricultural trade association, a Clinton Administration appointee, and a career official of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
From 2004 to 2009, Dr. Siddiqui served on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Industry Trade Advisory Committee on Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and Health/Science Products & Services, which advises the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and USTR on international trade issues related to these sectors. Between 2001 and 2003, Dr. Siddiqui was appointed as Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where he focused on agricultural biotechnology and food security issues. Before joining USDA, Dr. Siddiqui spent 28 years with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. He received a B.S. degree in plant protection from Uttar Pradesh Agricultural University (now renamed as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture & Technology) in Pantnagar, India, as well as M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in plant pathology, both from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.[1]
From 2001 to 2008, Siddiqui was a registered lobbyist with CropLife America, representing biotechnology companies including BASF, Bayer CropScience, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont, FMC Corp., Monsanto, Sumitomo, and Syngenta.
On April 2, 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama named Siddiqui to the post of Chief Agricultural Negotiator in a recess appointment. Siddiqui's previous nomination to the position remained on the Senate docket for more than a year and a half. His nomination was reported to the Senate floor from the United States Senate Committee on Finance on October 11, 2011, and senators finally voted to confirm Siddiqui as part of an en bloc group of nominations confirmed early in the morning hours of October 21, 2011.[3][4][5] Dr. Siddiqui submitted his resignation December 12, 2013.[6]
Siddiqui is a supporter of genetically modified foods (GMO foods) for human consumption, and repudiates their potentialhealth risks. In 1999 he worked against the mandatory labeling of GMO foods in Japan, stating that such labeling "would suggest a health risk where there is none."[7] In 2003, he criticized the European Union's precautionary rejection of the importation of GMO's, stating that the ban was tantamount to "denying food to starving people."[8] In 2009 he called for a "second green revolution" employing biotechnology and genetic engineering.[9]
In 1998, as Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs at the United States Department of Agriculture, Siddiqui oversaw the release of the National Organic Program's standards for organic food labeling. The standards permitted both irradiated and GMO foods to be labeled as organic.[10] (The standards were subsequently revised in response to public opposition.)
In 2005, speaking on behalf of CropLife America, Siddiqui stated his satisfaction with the defeat of local propositions inCalifornia that would have banned GMO crop cultivation.[11]

WASHINGTON, May 9, 2014 – The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is pleased to name Ambassador Islam A. Siddiqui a senior adviser in its Global Food Security Project. Dr. Siddiqui recently served as Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
“We’re honored that Ambassador Siddiqui has joined us at such an important time for U.S. trade,” said John Hamre, CSIS President, CEO, and Pritzker Chair. “In addition to his wealth of experience and expertise in U.S. agriculture, he will be a huge asset to CSIS by providing leadership in international trade and global food security issues.”
As Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Dr. Siddiqui was responsible for bilateral and multilateral negotiations and policy coordination on issues related to agricultural trade, including the TPP, TTIP, and WTO negotiations. In this capacity, Dr. Siddiqui played an active role in the successful 2013 WTO Ministerial meeting in Bali, Indonesia and served as the lead negotiator in the Brazil cotton case, which delayed the imposition of retaliation measures by Brazil in excess of $800 million annually. During this period, he also spearheaded a number of negotiations with trading partners in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Western Hemisphere that contributed to record levels of exports by opening or expanding markets for U.S. food and agricultural products.
(ISIS) (ISi)Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: The Endgame Approaches
Getting a TPP Deal through the Congress
There has been much speculation about the “landing zones” on agriculture market access, as well as “rules” chapters like intellectual property and state-owned enterprises. But how well calibrated are the administration’s landing zones with the U.S. Congress and the public?
In the past, legislation authorizing Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was used as a tool for political coalition building. Yet the Obama administration made a crucial calculation in early 2014 to postpone building the coalition of 60 senators and 218 House members needed to pass a TPP-implementing bill. TPA bills were introduced in the House (H.R.3830) and Senate (S.1900) in January, with no subsequent action in either chamber. Officials from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and other agencies have diligently consulted with members of Congress, but to be blunt, it’s a long way from consultation to political commitment. Absent leaders building public support and moving legislation, the political vacuum has been filled by members staking out positions for or against various features of TPP. Despite evidence of general support for the agreement, the domestic politics for passage are no better (and possibly worse) than they were a year ago.
Concluding TPP in the absence of either a mandate like TPA or overwhelming political support is a high-risk tactic. If the administration signs TPP without an advance agreement with Congress, members will receive the “gift” of being able to have it “both ways”: they can claim to support TPP in the abstract, but find some point of disagreement in the text that lets them withhold their vote. The administration would then find itself forced to renegotiate the agreement or engage in some other complicated maneuver to garner adequate support. Matters become even more complicated if an implementing bill reaches the Senate floor without TPA-style protections, since revenue measures are subject to unlimited amendment.

A clever eighth grader can decode this sequence. How do you get a Pacific US to take Monsanto drought crop science? Geo-engineer a biblical drought. How do you fast track the TPP and ? Trade Obamacare for it. How d you get ISIS and GMO into Cuba? Just normalize relationships and send Putin a "F-you" press release.
Go ahead and dismantle the US Sovereign EPA. They were corrupted by design anyway. Who's going to care? Why didn't all this get done years ago. The Congress would have had issues with it. Now with a new crop of GMO corporate and future lobbyists coming into scheme, traitors Obama, McConnell and Boehner can get down to the business of dividing up global profits and the carbon credits they have been waiting two years to collect. The TPP is secret and I$I$ is too but the agenda is oh so clear. Almost transparent. .
Please add the current SONY staged cyber event as the necessary pretext to the Intellectual Property, TRIPS and Global CISPA Internet takeover. Just another benefit of the WORLD TRADE TERROR REGIME run under the I$I$ fraud.
ReplyDeleteIn a good triad the culprit is innocent. Usually IRAN but with the TPP, North Korea is the boogeyman. This is so obvious, Kim Kardashian figured it out.
Somewhat reminiscent of the Benghazi video and how the Grinch stole Xmas.

So the answer to the header riddle is Japan.
ReplyDeleteThe Obvious "planting" of a mole like this Siddiqui operative, and the careful watering and manure - ing of his curriculum vitae allows us non-player peasants to see how the shifty shoehorn "game" works for the the elitists. They do have some patience and manifest long term goals and planning to create the twisted realities they crave.
ReplyDeleteHttp:jimstonefreelance.com (scroll down to the Sydney stuff and prognostications of the Illuminati dude for the 3 World Wars needed prior to the Luciferian Initiation/unveiling) provides some evidence to the latest FF in Sydney. Here are watching this garbage unfold in front of us. The next total balderdash that will soon splay across the MSM is going to be the stupid charade of a presidential "election" in "America". Fixed already with inbred nimrods to be foisted in the BS 2 "party" (sic) controlled "system". GAG! Give Us Hillary or Jeb? Romney or Zip Rand? Puke!
And anyone want to quibble or deny that America is NOT a free Republic or Democracy? It is all a sick joke played out in front of us on the world stage. But, like Jim Stone says -- We Don't have to buy it! Recognize and maintain their illigitimacy. "Rulers" who are scorned and derided and ignored soon topple.
Recognize that ALL of this swill, including the political, Wall Street, MSM, religions, race divisions, the MIC, wars, etc., all are twisted fictions employed to drain mankind and keep the few elites on top. COTO is not fooled, nor should anyone be.
I have suspected the bigger game (devil) is in the details but when the entire program is secret, the details are hard to discover. When events such as Ottawa, Sydney, Malaysia and Japan are the news cycle. it does not take a genius to connect the TPP.
ReplyDeleteIf people refuse to see al-CIAda for Western Asia and ISIS for Eastern Asia and the perfect ploy to fire these warning shots for the opponents of the global takeover, well I just have to scratch my head.
I forgot to mention Singapore and the protest movement which is another way they use OCCU-Pi to make their point. Soros and his operations are handling these events and not just New York and Ferguson.

When the 811 started the TPP, the issues and events began in 2005. July 3 to July 12, 2014 the Ottawa meeting began the cycle of the events we have seen. The reason Ferguson was staged was for the FED heads of regional bankers. The suicides began which were all assassinations. I think none of the 40 were real suicides. The state of Missouri is the only state to have two (11) banks. (Kansas City and St. Louis)
Now we have seen Sydney, Malaysia, Japan, Canada and Singapore events and the US had Ferguson.
Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam are all vulnerable to further assaults. The next rounds will come.
I focus on larger events for 2015. I have predicted the "Kansas City Nightmare" and the Malaysian missing flt 370 will come back in 2015. Historically Japan takes the hardest attacks. Americans being armed to the teeth helps keeping us from the big ones but not the weather scalar WMD and chemtrail malaise.
Chili and Peru are easy to attack with ULF seismic attacks and Uruguay may be a target next year. How Obama uses Cuba to go after Venezuela is still unknown but the BRICS Brazil has been under the financial assault by the joo-joo bees running S&P Moodys. Brazil, China, India and South Africa are subject to the same Petro, PM, Sanction and other Joo-Ukraine type projects that Russia is dealing with.
Fundamentally, we have to be protected until the time. But once it arrives it will be a shitstorm greater than anything that preceded it in the TPP I$I$. If the BRICS non Fed nations, Russia and China want to make it happen sooner, they can do it. (easily) But it means we go to World War.
The US cannot continue to use North Korea and Iran as decoys much longer. Our real enemies are becoming way too clear.
THE FED@WORK IS THIS HEDGING OR PREPPING?

NAKED AGGRESSION! See Here how the bankers use the Rothschild concepts to murder/rape/pillage a sovereign country. Recently, COTO posted another example of this type of immoral activity to "plant" people in positions where they change policy to suit the vampires behind the curtains:
ReplyDeletehttp://wakeupfromyourslumber.com/foreign-bankers-rape-ukraine/
The U.S. has seen plenty of this type of zionist/rapacious infection throughout government, finance, education, the media, literally every corner where policy can be changed to criminally profit off of the people and capital assets.
Good piece there. The facts and number line up. Wait til Belarus comes into play in that sector and wait for Japan. What countries do not accept TPP and GMO sustainability will see the wrath of geo-eng and EMR. If you follow the aging reports and fertility stats then you can map a short term and long term plan for World War 3-9-6. For the EU, the TTIP is all about GMO and Patent.
