Labor Battles The WTO: Seattle 1999 37 min. 2000 US In 1999, tens of thousands joined together in Seattle to protest the anti-labor and anti-environmental polices of the WTO. The ILWU, Steelworkers and others speak out about why they participated in the protest and what is it doing to their lives and communities. This documentary inteviews dozens of trade unionists about why they went to Seattle to protest against the WTO. Also included are clips from the meeting of the ICFTU with WTO chair Mike Moore that was held in Seattle prior to the WTO meeting. This was the largest US labor demonstration in years and the video includes the mainstream media response to the trade union demonstration as well as the massive police attack on the protesters. It ends with a labor music video sung by Larry Shaw. (http://www.solddowntheriver.com) For an in depth understanding of why workers traveled thousands of miles to attend the protest, this video is vital. Labor Video Project P.O.

U.S. auto factory closures effect more than the workers. As jobs are outsourced, the materials used are even more likely to come from another country, putting even more U.S. workers out of work.

The economy is not doing as well as some may think.

Seal beaters justify atrocities by attempting to say it obtains them money, or it's their livelihood, or that it puts food on the table, so the horrors they commit should be perpetuated. This is False. Just because something is done to obtain money, does not make it right. There are those who exploit children forcing them into prostitution for money. That's their livelihood too, but that does not mean it is right. Drug Pushers seed communities and entice youths with heroin and methamphetamines, that is the livelihood that provides money for some in certain poor communities, yet this does not mean it should be praised as such a fine livelyhood. Dogfighters ply their abhorrent trade to earn money, scammers defraud the elderly and get funds that put food on grifters tables, yet this does not excuse it. Poachers using snare traps to kill animals and massacre them for their horns and their ivory tusks to sell pieces of their bodies for money probably feeds poor poachers and their associates, however this excuse does not suffice to a judge to avoid prison. Not too long ago, white plantation owners used blacks as slaves on cotton farms and used them to earn money for the white owners and pay their bills, and provide food for their families, and even bring in money to provide jobs for white farm-hands, and even probably provided a significan amount of commerce as part of the economy, and possibly these men complained that telling them not to exploit the free labor obtained from african slaves would hurt their livelihoods, and take food out of the poor white plantation-owners children, yet today we now know this is wrong, and we do not stand for this today. Just because some act provides spoils of money, income, furnishes the perpetrator food, or homes, or cars, or his clothes, does not suffice to justtify crimes against humanity and nature. And with all this said, the seal hunt does not even earn significan money at all. The seal hunt is a Financial LOSS to the nation. It costs more than it bring in. 30 million Canadian people get their paychecks docked so that 0.00015 of the population of a tiny horde of lobbyists Sealers which are a Special Interest group can obtain less then 350 bucks, less than anyone could earn at even something akin to a yard sale. And Sealers already have 2 jobs. They already earn tens of thousands of dollars as Fishermen. Sealing is 2ndary. And also the govt already pays fishermen welfare UI checks which it gives Sealer Fishermen for sitting at home, while it is not fishing or sealing season. Thus, Sealers already earn tens of thousands. Sealing is Not their only job. Seal hunting does NOT bring significant income, it earned sealers in 2009 less than 18 cents an hour. 29 bucks. in a whole month. Avt per sealer of 350 bucks compared to tens of thousands they already are earning doing fishing. And they already obtain govt payment checks every month. So if you ever see anyone attempt to say that it is their livelihood, or earns a "significant income" or is needed in order to put food on the table, this is now shown False and the individual who attempted to say it is now discredited. This argument cannot be used ever again. If anyone such as a seal beater supporter tries it, they will now be exposed.

NEWS! Canada Wins Victory in EU SEAL BAN VOTE! 33 Million Canadians Can rejoice today, as the entire country of Canada has pulled off a big win in the EU Seal Hunt Product Ban Vote! The entire 27-member bloc of the European Union (EU) has just voted to completely ban all products from the Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt! This is a great victory for Canada, and will benefit the majority of all Canadian citizens. There are 33 million Canadians who do NOT participate in the seal hunt. The horrors are committed by merely a small sect of Sealers that comprise only 0.0015 of Canadas population. Canada can finally begin to cast off the stain that this small Special Interest Group of extremists bring on the great Canadian Flag. Sealers have brought burden onto Canada's back and due to the help of the EU, Canadians can finally begin to stand tall and feel that a weight has been lifted. Sealers are a tiny handful of a faction of killers that are mainly concentrated in a small number of Atlantic sealing provinces, not all of Canada. The perpetrators of the seal hunt are mainly concentrated in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Labrador, Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Isles de la Madeleine on the eastern coast. However over 90% of them are concentrated in Newfoundland. Nevertheless, even out of Newfoundland, which has a population of 500,000, sealers number less than 1% of the Newfoundland population. Therefore, 99% of Newfoundlanders can celebrate that they will soon be free from the odor of the international stink that this 1% faction of fanatical Seal killers brought upon their good name. The Seal Hunt is an Economic loss to the nation, and every Canadian must pay for the financial losses of these sealers. The losses are staggering, numbering in the hundreds of millions of dollars. 30 million good canadians have money docked out of their hard-working paychecks in order to pay for the losses caused by these lobbyist group of sealers. And finally all of Canada will see their paychecks increased. Aboriginal Natives such as the Inuit are exempt from the ban, and will benefit as well. A number of inuk are against the Commercial Seal Hunt as well. The commercial seal killers have no relation to subsistence. And the Commercial Industrial sealers leave 90%+ of the carcasses to rot on the ice. They are not doing it for food, but still plan to complain to the WTO in a last ditch ploy against it. Reminder, seal meat have been shown to be contaminated with Methyl Mercury poisoning, and omega3 seal oil has been found decomposed and ruled to be unfit for human consumption, yet sealers still attempt to entice humans to eat it, and sealers believe its their right to force others to buy it or eat it. The EU vote of 550 to 49 shows overwhelming support by the people of the EU for the 33 million good Canadians. Congratulations to Canada on the Victory against Sealers! 33 million Canadians now have great reasons to celebrate and thank the EU!

The United States exists in a free trade environment which is systematically undermining our economy, siphoning money out of the system, and outsourcing American prosperity in exchange for cheap electronics, clothing, and accessories.

It is time to fix the situation and get America back on a path toward growth and prosperity once again. The only way to do this is by pursuing fair trade policies which counteract the decades of unsustainable imbalances brought on through free trade. We need policies that can be adapted quickly and that meet the needs of this nation first and foremost.

The trade deficit in the United States is one of the most pervasive and destructive afflictions facing our economy today. In the past four years this economy has accumulated annual deficits of $711 billion, $753 billion, $700 billion and $681 billion dollars respectively.

"One reason that free trade produces persistent deficits for us is that other countries are not free traders. If other countries subsidize exports and charge imports, but we do not, the result is a predictable trade imbalance. Unless we neutralize their action through some sort of countervailing action, to return to balance." - Stumo (TradeReform.org)

Bob Bowman was head of the Star Wars Program under Presidents Carter and Regan. What if I won the Presidential Election? He outlines what he would do and and who he would appoint in his cabinet. Considering how the Bush administration has damaged this country, Mr Bowman would put it right once and for all.(Disclaimer: Views and opinions presented here are for informational and educational purposes only and may not necessarily be those of the makers of this video.)

PepperSpray' s summer intern, Ericka Ward, produced our lead piece this week. "Solutions, Not Repression" looks at the street vendor's movement in El Salvador. "Free Trade" agreements require the Salvadorian government to crack down on street vendors selling so-called pirated music and software, creating a crisis for thousands of people in the informal sector. "Who's side are you on", the market vendors ask their government, "the big American corporations or your own people?" The answer comes with truncheons and boots. It is an amazing moment in world history, when global capital no longer has big economies to devour, and having worked its way down the food chain, turns now to licking up the poorest crumbs on the far-flung edges of empire. The vendors are fighting back and this piece is all about that. Salvador is interesting for another reason: The current American vice-president cut his teeth repressing the Salvadorian people back in the 1980s, and was famously quoted just before the death squads ramped up in Iraq as saying that since the US was doing poorly in establishing control over Iraq, they would have to exercise the "Salvadorian option." Only weeks later, Iraqi morgues were piled high with tortured, mangled bodies, and many more have been "disappeared." Looking at Salvador today gives one a glimpse of the Iraqi future wished for by the Bush/Cheney camp. Revolutionaries in Salvador have spoken about how they fear that all these NAFA/CAFTA/WTO type agreements bind the country so much that even if they are successful in bringing in a decent government, the new government will not be able to deliver on the promises of the revolution because of all the international agreements which bind the hands of any future government in the country.

A new movie has dealt yet another severe blow to the credibility of US based Monsanto, one of the biggest chemical companies in the world and the provider of the seed technology for 90 percent of the world s genetically engineered (GE) crops. The French documentary, called The world according to Monsanto and directed by independent filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, paints a grim picture of a company with a long track record of environmental crimes and health scandals.

"No More 16 Tons In America" Longshoremen's Union Hall in Tacoma, WA Congressman Dennis Kucinich announced he is withdrawing from the 2008 presidential race. While it is true that neither the PepperSpray Collective or "Indymedia Presents" endorses ANY candidate for ANY office, we have always liked Kucinich for raising the issues so clearly, and for his consistency. On the occasion of him withdrawing from the race, we reached back into our archives and dug out a speech he made at the Longshoremen's Union hall in Tacoma, WA four years ago. It was a great speech, and if we didn't tell you it was that old, you'd probably think it was right up to the moment. This speech was given BEFORE Al Gore came out with "An Inconvenient Truth," This speech was given BEFORE the exposure of the broken health care system in "Sicko." This speech was given BEFORE 80% of the American people had turned against the war. Dennis Kucinich has been there all along. http://www.dennis4president.com International Longshore and Warehouse Union ILWU Longshore Division Homepage http://www.ilwu.org/longshore BE THE MEDIA!

Juncture moments.... there have been "juncture" moments before: Dr. Martin Luther King, in his 1967 speech at the Riverside Church, said he was "compelled to see the (Viet Nam) war as an enemy of the poor." After all the work to achieve passage of both Civil Rights and anti-poverty legislation, he said, then "came the buildup in Viet Nam," and King knew "that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Viet Nam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube." This week we reprise an analysis of the current juncture, presented at the Vets For Peace convention in Seattle, by David Korten, based on his most recent book, "The Great Turning." His previous book, "When Corporations Rule the World" was used by many WTO protesters as a handbook addressing the problems hidden in the corporate global dream. Korten outlines the "perfect storm" created by the concurrent crisis of a collapsing US dollar, end of oil, environmental disaster and war, and presents his ideas on how to turn this tailspin into an opportunity for humanity to reach a higher goal. He makes a persuasive case that we shouldn't be arguing how one issue is more important than the other, but need to see how all the issues are coming together, interacting, and how this calls for an "all as one" perspective. www.davidkorten.org www.davidkorten.org/Books/greatturning.htm Veterans for Peace http://www.veteransforpeace.org Related Free Speech Websites: Independent Media Center http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml Indymedia NewsReal http://www.newsreal.indymedia.org Free Speech TV: http://www.freespeech.org Democracy Now! http://www.democracynow.org

This stylish film is not just for food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want to see: Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds, collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our agricultural neighbors around the world. In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call to action. http://www.thefutureoffood.com
