The WTO must go remote places to find a safe haven for their
world-destroying misdeeds. An island owned by a dictator, or an oasis
owned by a dictator, or a boat owned by a dictator. All of them with
guards with guns, symbolic of the world-scale violence planned inside.

ISAG met in downtown Minneapolis, at the cost to the city of 1 million
dollars, concrete blocks and fences, and cancelled events. So the pampered
bio-engineering companies could meet for their ultimately criminal
bio-destruction. No wonder they had to be behind fences and cops.

Hiding out admits unpopularity due to anti-democratic acts. Popular acts
for the people can take place in a public square at high noon.  Unpopular
acts against the people have to be scheduled somewhere isolated, dark,
guarded.

Our constitutional right to assemble and protest grievances is being
systematically eroded by the fine folks at the top. Preparatory to ever
larger outrages.

Experience has shown the importance of open government. If we let them
close it, we will pay the price.
