Globophobe activists protested the annual meeting of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington DC this weekend, tho BBC [1] reports that they numbered in the hundreds rather than the thousands--a testament to how dissent has been sidetracked and marginalized in the post-9-11 world. Photos and accounts of the protests are provided by our friends at the Global Justice Ecology Project [2].
(The last major globophobe mobilization, at the November 2003 Miami FTAA summit, met with harsh paramilitary-style police repression--see WW4 REPORT #93 [3].)
