Bill Moyers Reports: Trading Democracy

Wensday, Feb 5, 2001 10:00pm EST

An obscure provision in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)allows corporate investors to challenge laws,
regulations and jury verdicts before international trade tribunals that rule in secret - and have the power to
overrule elected officials and laws in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Bill Moyers investigates how
multinational corporations are using the provision to win millions of dollars in compensation if laws aimed at
protecting the environment or public health harm them economically. (Closed Captions) (Stereo

The gas additive in Calif. is a prime example, could cost 100's of millions. A hemp based food company from Canada is also suing the DEA for millions. Lawyers are going to love this.

Thanks for the link, by the way

My jaw about hit the floor when I heard this on the radio a half an hour ago. PBS the socialist station doing a show on our vanishing freedoms?????????????

[iowaboy]

Moyers came to Des Moines, IA recently (after Sep 11) and referred to the right wing and devout Christians as the "American Taliban".</P

I never had any respect for him and never will.

[It'salmosttolate]

I even saw a show they put on about "conspiracies", the Bildderburgers, TLC, CFR, and how they planned to set up a world goverment. They went back about 80 to 90 years documenting it.

Rush must have never seen the show.

[doglot]

Isn't Moyers an ordained minister? Methodist I think? The radio tease did make it sound like "must see TV".

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

The radio ad made a big point about "shredding the Constitution". Since when has PBS or Moyers given a %$@# about the Constitution? I'm suspicious...

[hchutch]

If Moyers is trashing NAFTA, then that means that this was one of the few things Bill Clinton got right (much as I hate to admit Slick got ANYTHING right)...

[aculeus]

Moyers gives sanctimonious wind bags a bad name.

[Leto]

If Moyers is against NAFTA you might want to reconsider your position. I've never known him to be on the right side of any issue.

[It'salmosttolate]

"... then that means that this was one of the few things Bill Clinton got right.."

What did BC get right?
The only thingy he got right was his penis, sorry that went left.

[hchutch]

Well, this whole NAFTA thing has the far left in a tizzy. At least it's got Myoers upset. If Moyers is upset, that's good.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Moyers is an elitist know-it-all, long associated with progressive-leftest wing of the Democrat Party. He still carries a picture of LBJ in his wallet.

[steve50]

That's the one, think I saw a lawsuit for 320 million or so.
