-Caveat Lector-
This report of ADM, Pepsi, and other multinationals hiring "demonstrators"
to act out for the news cameras in Seattle bears out what I have been saying
all along: the Oligarchy is determined to discredit the progressive
coalition by any means necessary. Forget COINTELPRO--the corporations are
now bypassing the "official" law enforcement agencies and are hiring their
agents provocateurs directly. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Several weeks ago I was approached by the representative of a
major company. I was offered a lucrative, temporary job as a
demonstrator as part of a 'media event' that the company rep
said she was involved in planning. I was offered $35 an hour,
plus bonuses and meals, for a job that would last a week or so.
Being a rather poor college student, I jumped at the offer. I
was assured it was all legal. I signed a strict non-disclosure
agreement. And I was given a few days paid training.
All of this was before I had heard about the upcoming World
Trade Organization meeting. In fact, I didn't really know what
the WTO was.
In the past few days I have carried protest signs and chanted
slogans for various causes - whales, farmers, human rights,
rainforests; I have blocked traffic, been shoved, kicked,
tear-gassed, arrested (bail promptly paid), worn a panda bear
costume, and been on tv; I've been well-fed on steaks and shrimp
and pizza; had a hell of a lot of fun; made some good cash money
and recieved some merchandise bonuses like vitamins and Pepsi
stuff; - and become totally disillusioned with our political
system.
The company that hired me is Archer Daniels Midland, but Pepsi
was somehow involved, too (and no doubt some others).
The demonstrations this past week in Seattle are contrived and
manufactured. I'm sure that many of the people out there are
sincerely trying to further their cause, but many more are just
nuts getting caught up in the moment, and some are paid agitators
(like me and about another 100 or so that I know of). I'm not out
there anymore, though, I took my cash last night and left, went
back to school.
