Dear Ms. Barlow,
I wish to congratulate you and the other organizations which joined you
in sponsoring the subject ad, for trying to raise the awareness of the
American public and lawmakers about the MAI sneak-attack by the
multinational corporations, including big banks, who are trying to wrest
the national sovereignty from the peoples of the world.
As an analyst, writer and columnist, I've written many times about the
dangers of that, though not necessarily mentioning the MAI Treaty as a
tool of new kind of human bondage. In such articles, I have referred to
these multinationals as "The (Global) Princes of the 20th Century,"
drawing a parallel with the powers and privileges which aristocracy
enjoyed in prior centuries.
I will send you by a separate e-mail some columns on the topic of
globalization which I have written for the WASHINGTON TIMES and the
Chicago-based CHRONICLES magazine. I also invite you to visit the Truth
in Media Web site (http://www.beograd.com/truth/) where you will find
more of such articles, as well as the Annex Research home page (the
first LINK below).
We will also send you by snail mail a modest contribution to the address
of the Committee on Global Finance in San Francisco provided in the ad -
in appreciation of your efforts. Thank you for standing up for
preservation of national sovereignty and cultures.
Best regards,
Bob Dj.
P.S. You may also wish to check out by FORBES magazine column which
deals with unproductive use of capital by some multinational
corporations' stock buybacks (IBM in this instance):
