today
antoher attempt to pick up where I left the ongoing...in 2004: I was writng about the MAI negotiations, and ended where WTO (World Trade Organisation) director Renato Ruggerio, stated that a implementation of the MAI, would "constitute the new global economy". He is right so far that the chances of the few to run global economy is....global, but as to covering the the concept of being global, meaning the world under your wing, he couldn`t be more wrong.
The Citizen is not considered part of the game unless he submits to a fullrange identity as The Consumer.
This is no place for small potatoes, this is merely BIG BUSINESS.

The US Council for for International Business, representing 600 corporations as the US affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce, has been integrally involded in the MAI-negotiations. The group helped shape the US negotiating positions by providing business views and technical advice on specific issues at regular meetings with US negotiators immidialtely and after each MAI negotiation session (source: Censored 1999, The news that didnt make the news).

Some countries thought that the WTO should oversee the implementation of the agreement, while others, principally the US wanted the MAI kept within the much more exclusive OECD (Organisation for economic Corporation and Development).
So whats the status of the MAI-negotiations today, 2005: The mainstream press has almost completely ignores it, and when the treaty is submitted for ratification, chances are there is no room left for public or legislative discussion.
Me? I`ll set out to find out the status, because I dont know, I`m only driven by indignation, and as long as I dont know this posting will not count for being a part in the ongoing... WHY THIS second rate poet DOESN´T LOVE BIG BUSINESS.

tomorrow: its time for another quiz. Sharpen your pencil and tune in the Brains.
