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?
