The World Trade Organisation

[napalmvoododaddy]

and you can bet your sweet ass that rockefeller was right in the middle the whole time too !! changing things, removing things, all for the "better" ! well, is it fucking better ? ! huh ? !!! fuck no !!!!!!!!!!!!! just look at how much we import. and how little we export ! and the iceing on the cake was when that shill bastard clinton and his punkass vice pres. gore did the dirty deed of nafta !!! the puppet masters are steady at work. brzezinski said we're politically awake. we can change it

[MyTk89]

transnational corporations and certain NGOs can deny all they want about the issue of loss off national sovereignty.but it is happening.the westphalian system was much better. We are just taught western propaganda that there needs to be central organisation to maintain world order. But that central system does not even work... trans orgs are basically dictating to gov. and there is still backlash and war. Trans. orgs thanks to WTO now have access to third world countries making the rich richer.

[naughtyboymessiah]

i dont understand the fixation with money and power. they are such a curse..... fools gold....... o well ....dear beloved tyrant, i wish you luck in your pursuit for money at any cost, even death.

[jobedied]

WTO must die local economies must survive this organization is one of the biggest reasons the modern dark ages are coming. Rise up and do anything you can to destroy them. Buy local food and services fuck these modern pirates.

[anarchy4meandu]

WTO is a oppressive attack at are freedoms revoultion my friends the end of oppressions is soon to be over

[cosmicbuddha24]

Continued from below: I mean it's understandable right??

P.S. I hope that I didn't come across to strong with my sarcasm. Seriously dude WAKE UP and lose the blind faith! The WTO is an organization that is designed to perpetuate economic inequalities ad infinitum. It is only concerned about the interests of the rich and their riches! We need a forum that gives common people a voice on the economic policies that effect their lives!

[bullshitohen1]

@cosmicbuddha24 the kind of trade that would occur is bilateral... we dont want this regional fragmentation, it would be the new colonial blocks on the past, big countries with peripheral satellites... that didnt end well vis-a-vis the first and then the second world war... were going that way with the EU, ASEAN etc, blocks of powers bilaterally trading, etc... the guy at 5:45 is absolutely correct!

[cosmicbuddha24]

I was barely able to watch this video from start to finish because the noxious odor of propaganda made me so nauseated I had to run to the bathroom and expel my breakfast.

In addition to the ill effects induced by this program, I also had a great feeling of anticipation, I was certain that at any moment a group of cheerleaders would overtake the screen and break into cheer: "GO GO WTO, We love subversion so take control!! Yaaay!! for Big Business!!"

[mauvaisjour]

it's extremely pro wto, isn't it? it's sick. it's totally undemocratic. what's more heinous is that they twist facts: "more and more developing countries realized that they could gain substantially by opening up their markets and participating more fully in world trade."

i'm speechless. but i'll state a counter-fact for the newbies: IMPERIALISM.

[bestinhouse]

The wealthy elite creates laws for itself without any vote by the majority of the people. That's what the WTO is. the destruction of rule by democratic participation of citizens, to a return to rule by elite wealthy slave owners. This video is propaganda for the wealthy power elite. The idea that the Uraguay round was by consensus is nonsense. No group of citizens voted for it - but the corporate elite wrote it and voted for it. This is a pack of lies.

[nigletgook]

i support the wto and hate protesters. go die.

[bestinhouse]

Wow. Think about what you just said. "Go die?" because you protest against rule not by democratic participation by people, but instead rule by corporations? You must hate yourself, since you are a human, and you don't believe humans have the right to rule themselves.

[cosmicbuddha24]

He hates protesters because he can't stand it when anyone tries to shake him from the somnolence of complacency. Protesters try to make you think about stuff and he'd rather just bury his head in apathy. You know it's much easier to just accept the disney-fied version of history espoused in these little propaganda shorts then to really reflect on how we are being oppressed. He supports the WTO because he is among the worlds luck minority that live in comfort. Why should he care right??

[mauvaisjour]

he hates protesters and humanitarians because he has personal issues with himself ... that or he wasn't raised in a healthy way. he isn't intelligent nor self-actualized enough to realize the stupidity of his words.

[Deeprive]

It's almost impossible to get everyone to agree on one contract

i think it's better to make countries realize what is the most responsible decision to preserve the stability of developed nations and support developing nations. If you ask me, this means persuading countries that don't agree with the "Best" decision. I am sure there are plenty of stubborn nations that are holding back the worldwide economy.

[Epicuree]

the problem is lack of regulation Companies move to low wage countries and create jobs, this leads to social dumping of workers that live in an more expencive part of the world. They turn around and sell this products at huge profits to the rich part of the world. And industry that cant compete with their big brothers go under, thus creating a need to exploit on poor countries to be abel to compete. The worst ethics thrive and survive, rest cant...indonesia is an great example of the outcome!

[mountain19]

it is a corporate take over of america and the world. your right.

[duygu0502]

I agree that some decisions in the WTO are sometimes unjustified , but in my opinion we can never blame an organisation as it is like a table and people are sitting around it and making decisions , so its really useless to blame WTO as an organisation because it does promote peace and we cant imagine a world without WTO cause it will be a world without trade...which is impossible.

[deviliciousangel235]

duygu0502 your a stupid dick sucking bitch who has no knowledge fuck you if the world was like you, we would already be enslaved by a one world government "a world without trade is impossible" please shut the fuck up and go suck some power hungry leaders dick mkay thanks

[hpuckett1]

I support freedom of speech and hearing both sides of an argument, but using filthy language on a website that is accessed by people of all ages from all around the globe is unnecessary, rude, and revolting. It makes you sound ignorant and will never sway anyone to your side of a debate. I wish your comments had been constructive as opposed to inflammatory. What a shame.

[mauvaisjour]

sounds like somebody's too ignorant to use intellect but instead uses his sexuality to defend great causes

[jowhatever]

No trade without the WTO?1 of course there would be; the different is that

[khalid622]

trade existed even before WTO.

WTO did not invent trade, thus trade is possible without WTO.

But maybe you are too indoctrinated by western propaganda and you cannot trade without WTO.

[giacomele]

@khalid622 well said

[mauvaisjour]

WTO is simply deregulation. these people are there just to profit profiteers ... not the common folk, not really. this whole capitalistic free market bullshit is fucked up. why did humanity never question the insinuation of rule by economics and class?

[dieterlino]

they do but capitalism has profited a great many people who are unwilling to let go of it.

[mauvaisjour]

it's only an elite that's really profited from it: everybody else is still chasing that eternally elusive carrot.

[dieterlino]

that being said, there is a greater number of people living in prosperity today (as a fraction of the world's population) than at any other point in time (maybe before 2007, but that's part of the economic cycle). no doubt there is poverty, inequality and injustice but capitalism remains to this day the most effective economic system for the generation of wealth that people have thought of.

[canadiahung]

@dieterlino

LOL! Thumbs DOWN

[dieterlino]

@canadiahung

Canadiahung: I have not reasons, just opinions... that's how I play the game...

[alanjohn2006]

This is a shocking piece of propaganda. The WTO is just one of the reasons this world is so injust.

[AustinGerassimos]

I totally agree... There are many view points on the WTO that haven't been heard here....

[Shpira]

this is such bullshit.

[roberteckerson]

Judging by the last 10 seconds it is a propaganda piece. Your website says you are "independent".

[roberteckerson]

Is this a propaganda piece? I wonderig about where Journeyman gets its money.

[cyberfiles]

The WTO facilites extreme economic injustice. The mystification of economics is wrong. Greed and sharing are simple concepts and the WTO is another institution that maintains and legitimises a dominant, rotten, immoral economic reality. It is 'protectionism' of the capitalist, of gluttonous corporate hegemony. The WTO protects the pharmacutical companies right to profit not the dying childs right to medicine.
