At a National Press Club conference transmitted today by NPR, John Sweeney, President
of the AF of L-CIO, said that the WTO was a world government whose laws, made without
the consultation or participation of workers, are establishing a world oligarchy of
transnational corporations that will throw back workers' rights and environmental
protection to the union-busting days of the nineteenth century.
Is the Internet to be the mechanism for WTO world government? Is this why the U.S.
Department of Commerce has created ICANN? What role are MCI and Vinton Cerf supposed
to play in it? Was Jones Day selected as ICANN's lawfirm because of their connection
with the transnational corporations controlling the WTO and benefitting from the GATT?
Under what law will we live in the 21st century, constitutional democracy or the
dictatorship of ICANN and the WTO?
