Sun, Sand, and Sedition:
Come to Miami in November and this is what you'll see......
In November 2003, Miami, Florida is hosting both the 8th round of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) trade negotiations and the eight Americas Business Forum. Trade Ministers from 34 nations in the Western hemisphere, and hundreds of their closest commerce-inclined friends, will descend on this city for a week of business and pleasure: the business of advancing capitalism's parasitic agenda, the pleasure of getting away with it.
At the Summit of Americas held in Miami in December 1994, 34 heads of state agreed to construct the FTAA. Since then, business and government representatives from these Countries have been secretly drafting this plan with the aim of creating the largest free trading block in the world by 2005. This is to be our region's principal contribution to the much-heralded age of globalization - the inevitable era of opulence and prosperity capitalism promised from its inception. Soon history will draw to a close, and everyone will benefit from the forethought and benevolence of their leaders and elite, Right?
