http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/larry-summers-and-the-secret-end-game-memoThe memo is authentic.
I had to fly to Geneva to get confirmation and wangle a meeting with the Secretary General of the World Trade Organisation, Pascal Lamy. Lamy, the Generalissimo of Globalisation, told me,
The WTO was not created as some dark cabal of multinationals secretly cooking plots against the people... We dont have cigar-smoking, rich, crazy bankers negotiating.
Then I showed him the memo.
It begins with Larry Summers flunky, Timothy Geithner, reminding his boss to call the Bank bigshots to order their lobbyist armies to march:
As we enter the end-game of the WTO financial services negotiations, I believe it would be a good idea for you to touch base with the CEOs
please read Baobab's post as well - i think it is a very good analysis of why and how the very issues that matter have been framed:

(5,252 posts)I was talking about this yesterday. Third Wayers, like Hillary, insist they are Progressives. I say they do this because they're ashamed to admit they're Third Way. Tagging yourself "Lefty" is indicative of this.
That being said, Gamecock did out themselves, so at least they should be acknowledged for that.

(18,133 posts)of the global trade deals, WTO and ISDS and you are just deflecting? maybe these deals work to your benefit? or maybe you just don't know enough to have a discussion about their impacts on democracy?

(34,845 posts)It's in reference to 'wrapping up' the negotiations. I don't quite see the problem here.

(34,845 posts)Making the prospect of war much more difficult. They will always be a mixture of good and bad. And corporations will always try go get more and more and more but it's up to Congress to pull on the reins more than they have.
Nothing is 'final' about trade deals. There will always be something else on the horizon. That's how it's pretty much always been.

"...the crazy ideology behind...the existing and almost completed secret deals are the real cause of almost all of our crazy, unworkable policies. For example, they are why health care is stuck, and can never get better,..."
