1:03:02
They don't ask if you believe in it.
1:03:03
You don't get to vote
on World Trade Organization treaties.
1:03:06
They don't let you vote on it.
They don't give you a say.
1:03:09
They let you listen
to the one-sided propaganda.
1:03:12
Name me a single columnist in America
who doesn't stand up and cheer
1:03:15
under the banner
of so-called free trade.
1:03:17
There's no public discussion,
1:03:19
there's no dissent
in any of the political parties.
1:03:23
There's no debate,
there's no discussion, there's no vote.
1:03:26
In fact, the only nation
which has called for a vote is Brazil,
1:03:30
which is saying that it
will not sign any more trade treaties
1:03:35
without a plebiscite of its people.
1:03:37
And the world trade barons
are losing their damn minds
1:03:41
trying to prevent this type of democracy
from spreading planet-wide,
1:03:45
'cause once people know what this stuff
is about and get to vote on it,
1:03:49
no one's gonna vote themselves
into poverty.
1:03:55
Here we go.
"Australia country code."
1:04:01
Australia, 61.
It's 61.
1:04:03
Sixty-one.
1:04:09
Hi, this is Kinnithrung Sprat
from the WTO.
1:04:12
- Hello, how are you?
- Good, thanks. How are you?
1:04:15
- Where are you now?
- I'm in New York at the moment.
1:04:18
- In New York, are you?
- Yes.
1:04:20
Kinnithrung Sprat just called the person
who's coordinating Sprat's visit.
1:04:26
I'm due in Hong Kong
the week after this,
1:04:29
and that date is firm,
1:04:31
but my travel to Australia
is as yet not firm. Yeah.
1:04:36
She's actually, it turns out,
been e-mailing all these people
1:04:39
and basically calling journalists
1:04:41
and getting people
to attend his lecture.
1:04:44
She fully expects him to attend because
she had spoken to Hildegard West,
1:04:48
Sprat's assistant,
and Hildegard West had told her
1:04:51
that everything was on
and Sprat was definitely going.
1:04:54
So now we've just decided
we really have to go
1:04:56
to honor this arrangement
with Australia.
