[lbo-talk] JFK

[Joseph Wanzala]

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is among the most powerful, and one of 
the most secretive international bodies on earth. It is rapidly assuming the 
role of global government, as 134 nation-states, including the U.S., have 
ceded to its vast authority and powers. The WTO represents the rules-based 
regime of the policy of economic globalization. The central operating 
principal of the WTO is that commercial interests should supersede all 
others. Any obstacles in the path of operations and expansion of global 
business enterprise must be subordinated. In practice these "obstacles" are 
usually policies or democratic processes that act on behalf of working 
people, labor rights, environmental protection, human rights, consumer 
rights, social justice, local culture, and national sovereignty.
