Profit Over People: on Free Trade

WTO is just another tool for US intervention abroad

Control over food supplies by foreign corporate giants is well underway, and with the WTO agreement on telecommunications signed and delivered, financial services are next in line. Summarizing, the expected consequences of the victory for “American values” at the WTO are:
1. A “new tool” for far-reaching US intervention into the internal affairs of others;
2. The takeover of a crucial sector of foreign economies by US-based corporations;
3. Benefits for business sectors and the wealthy;
4. Shifting of costs to the general population;
5. New and potentially powerful weapons against the threat of democracy [i.e., people over the elites].
