Subject: A12 vs. A16


    Just a quick note on something I've learned:

    Despite the claims of rally organizers, and articles printed in
recent newspapers such as the Washington Post, mainstream organized
labor and other mainstream anti-globalist groups are not endorsing the
April 16th demonstrations being planned against the World Bank, and are
not mobilizing their supporters to attend the A16 demonstration
(http://www.a16.org).  This according to a conversation I just had with
both AFL-CIO and USWA organizers.

    Instead, the non-fringe left organizations have rejected the rally
endorsed by groups like the "Foot Fetish Liberation Front"
(http://www.a16.org/a16_endorsers.cfm), and are instead endorsing a
rally being sponsored by the AFL-CIO and others on the April 12th (the
"A12" rally.)  Buchanan will be at the A12 rally, not at the A16 rally
like LSN, my news service, had implied in a recent post. (We made such
an implication due to a confusion on dates from our source on that.)

    For those who read LSN, expect a detailed article tonight on how the
fringe leftists of the DC area have exploited the WTO publicity to con
the media into highlighting their otherwise mediocre political movement.
