A critique of dialogue between protestors and large financial institutions such as the WB and IMF, and of panding to the mainstream media.

"The WTO can't avoid public protests by holding a meeting in a country that doesn't allow public protest. That would send the signal that it's okay to build the global economy on a foundation of repression -- exactly the opposite of the message the WTO should be pronouncing."Kenneth Roth

Broadmead was split in two on Saturday as 150 Bristol activists blockaded the entrance to US clothes chain store GAP in protest at their use of child labour and sweatshop labour. The demonstration, one of the largest in recent years, was sparked by revelations by a recent BBC Panorama programme that child labour was being used in a Cambodianfactory making GAP clothes. The sea of faces dividing the walkway held placards reading "GAP - Globally Abusing People" and "GAP rips off child labour and sweat shop labour".

Apparently we need more education in the obvious than we do examination of the obscure. OUR government is the citizens’ government. THEIR government is the corporate government. Corporations are machines, not citizens. Our government consists of men and women ruled by our conscience. Their government consists of men and women ruled by machines. This has been obvious - but often forgotten - since the First World War.
