World Trade Organization: Protest Movement 1999 (Globalization)

1996

Footage from World Trade Organization (WTO) protest movement ca. 1999, just prior to passage of Patriot Act and end of Domestic Social Justice activism in the United States. It is becoming difficult to find this footage, as youtube has been increasingly censoring controversial-political content; and newsfootage. Rather than press criminal charges, and allow an opportunity to dispute allegations in court, the U.S. Government has been abusing the medical system, by branding, ex-parte, activists and other civic / politically engaged persons as mentally ill. These persons are being held in State facilities, and are subjected to mind-altering medication and electroshock treatment until they are so brain damaged they are no longer able to function in society or live independently. Some prominent individuals (C2) in these movements were arrested and died in custody between ca. 2000-2006. Independent political organization in the United States has become impossible since the passage of the Patriot Act and deployment of U.S. Military Forces to engage in Intelligence & Law Enforcement related actions. People are being hunted down across not only the United States, but Internationally, and are being tortured, and murdered by Homeland Security forces; and denied an opportunity to go to court to face criminal charges. Since the U.S. Government cannot bring criminal charges for people writing, or speaking about political issues, it is simply murdering them, or taking them to facilities to be held indefinitely without charges for "medical care." This lack of Rule of Law, has led to an escalation in use of force on both sides since the era portrayed in these videos; including informal parternships with Foreign Governments, and Non-State Actors toward protecting Human Rights (of these individuals,) which no longer being enforced by the U.S. Government. There is a strategic benefit for the U.S. Government to refuse to bring criminal charges against individuals in these situations, because without Court Trials there is no public record of what happened to people associated with these movements, who have since this time disappeared. Colombia has a similar record of U.S. intervention in murdering, and disappearing communities who live on, or own natural resources; such as water, energy and mineral resources. This has allowed the U.S. Government plausible deniability in engaging in the murder, or disappearance of such persons; and any who speak about the issue can be branded publically as "conspiracy theorists," with officials stating there is no record of these actions. These Serious Human Rights Offenses are driven by Corporate Financial Investment Groups who also hold Government Positions. "Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin’ Like the stillness in the wind ’Fore the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in" -Bob Dylan (1963) ---- Note: The prominance of this movement led me to study Political Science at the University of Oregon, with an interest in Social Justice and Human Rights. I eventually completed my first study on Factors of Regime Effectiveness under Ronald B. Mitchell, comparing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) [antecedent to WTO] to the World Trade Organization (WTO) as international legal agreements. This caused me to become targed by United States Intelligence Community under (MHCHAOS legacy programs) [Operation Backfire] which involved the use of Clean Torture (Enhanced Interrogation,) techniques; and to be flagged in CCH / NCIC systems as a "violent ideological extremist." This has led to several lawsuits against the U.S. Federal Government, (and petitions for international Political Asylum,) whom have refused to share records, or allow me to dispute these accusations. These abusive interrogations spanning two decades have left me crippled, with brain damage, seizures, heart and kidney failure. ( Since that time I've also been slandered by Law Enforcement as a stupid Mexican, drug addict, etc. litigation is ongoing. ) This pattern of extra-territorial abuses led to the formation of the 'Bronx Project' investigation into U.S. Interrogation & Torture techniques. With that introduction I proudly present the footage herein. -Lykaion (2022) ---- Also see: [Anarchist Jurisdictions] [Alan Antliff U.
