1
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:35,371
Jeez, this is terrible.

2
00:00:35,449 --> 00:00:37,508
It's the stupidest.
I can't--

3
00:00:39,052 --> 00:00:41,987
It's an hour's difference.
The time zone is different here.

4
00:00:42,989 --> 00:00:46,584
Fuck. It's unbelievable.
How the fuck can that happen?

5
00:00:46,660 --> 00:00:48,150
Okay. Here.

6
00:00:48,228 --> 00:00:50,492
Okay, there. That's done.
Now what?

7
00:00:50,564 --> 00:00:51,895
Okay. Got it. Okay.

8
00:00:51,965 --> 00:00:53,455
Pull it up.

9
00:00:53,533 --> 00:00:55,967
Okay, now let's get your...

10
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:07,373
A few years ago, we wanted to...

11
00:01:07,447 --> 00:01:11,042
try to help out with some activist's
anti-corporate activities.

12
00:01:11,118 --> 00:01:14,281
And we heard about this website
called rtmark.com.

13
00:01:14,354 --> 00:01:16,584
And we went there, and they--

14
00:01:16,656 --> 00:01:19,489
they handed us a domain name--
gwbush.com--

15
00:01:19,559 --> 00:01:21,686
and asked us if we might like
to make a website

16
00:01:21,762 --> 00:01:23,821
that was critical of George Bush.

17
00:01:23,897 --> 00:01:27,628
Because George Bush's real
domain name was georgewbush.com.

18
00:01:27,701 --> 00:01:31,296
And this was 1999,
so it was just during the campaign

19
00:01:31,371 --> 00:01:33,498
when he was beginning
to run for president.

20
00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:36,167
And we didn't really know
quite what to do,

21
00:01:36,243 --> 00:01:38,575
so we went to Bush's website
and looked at it.

22
00:01:38,645 --> 00:01:41,375
And it turned out to be full
of strange hypocrisies, like,

23
00:01:41,448 --> 00:01:44,508
for example, he called himself
"The environmental governor of Texas,"

24
00:01:44,584 --> 00:01:47,678
but we looked a little closer
at his record and found out

25
00:01:47,754 --> 00:01:51,212
that he had actually created
the most polluted state in the country

26
00:01:51,291 --> 00:01:54,089
because he dismantled
the Clean Air Laws while he was there.

27
00:01:54,161 --> 00:01:56,891
And, actually, that's, I guess,
what he's doing now nationally.

28
00:01:56,963 --> 00:01:59,158
So we thought,
"Well, this kind of hypocrisy

29
00:01:59,232 --> 00:02:02,395
we can easily poke fun at
by making a satire website."

30
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:05,199
And we made this satire website
that looked exactly like Bush's

31
00:02:05,272 --> 00:02:07,604
except for a few key differences.

32
00:02:07,674 --> 00:02:10,165
Like there was a photo on the banner--

33
00:02:10,243 --> 00:02:14,976
instead of him and his wife
in front of the capitol building in Texas,

34
00:02:15,048 --> 00:02:17,915
we showed him pointing the finger
at black people.

35
00:02:17,984 --> 00:02:21,579
And this seemed to get him
a little bit angry.

36
00:02:21,655 --> 00:02:23,589
So the Bush campaign
tried to shut us down

37
00:02:23,657 --> 00:02:25,648
by sending us
a cease and desist letter

38
00:02:25,725 --> 00:02:28,125
and by complaining
to the Federal Election Commission.

39
00:02:28,195 --> 00:02:30,459
But we were able
to just take those threats

40
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:32,964
and send them to the media.

41
00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:35,092
And immediately the <i>New York Times</i>
wrote an article,

42
00:02:35,168 --> 00:02:37,102
and there were a whole bunch
of other articles.

43
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:39,832
In fact, one reporter
read these articles and,

44
00:02:39,906 --> 00:02:42,238
at a press conference,
asked Bush,

45
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:45,904
"So, what about this website--
gwbush.com--what do you think of that?"

46
00:03:10,937 --> 00:03:12,268
So it was all over the place.

47
00:03:12,339 --> 00:03:13,931
A lot of people read about it,

48
00:03:14,007 --> 00:03:18,000
including a guy who had another
domain name called gatt.org.

49
00:03:18,078 --> 00:03:21,241
And, of course, GATT is the
Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,

50
00:03:21,314 --> 00:03:24,477
and it's the predecessor agreement
to the World Trade Organization.

51
00:03:24,551 --> 00:03:26,951
And he said,
"If you could do this for Bush,

52
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:29,955
then maybe you can
also do this for the WTO."

53
00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:36,491
The WTO is supposed to be
sort of a United Nations of commerce,

54
00:03:36,563 --> 00:03:40,727
a conglomeration
of all these countries in the world...

55
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,395
that get together every now and then
to discuss trade policies

56
00:03:44,471 --> 00:03:50,239
in how exactly goods will be bought
and sold throughout the world.

57
00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:54,076
I'm sure, originally,
the stated purpose of the WTO

58
00:03:54,147 --> 00:03:57,878
was to help these countries
who are developing

59
00:03:57,951 --> 00:04:02,479
so that, you know, the world community
can help raise them out of poverty.

60
00:04:02,556 --> 00:04:05,787
In fact, what it's done is
it's allowed large corporations

61
00:04:05,859 --> 00:04:09,351
to go in and exploit these people
even further

62
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:12,296
so that Americans
become even wealthier

63
00:04:12,365 --> 00:04:16,699
and the people in these countries
continue to struggle to get by.

64
00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:22,402
And I think that's--
at this point it's upset quite a few people.

65
00:04:37,557 --> 00:04:40,458
So I gotta try
and remember where Sal lives.

66
00:04:40,527 --> 00:04:45,362
It's a little bit complicated. There's, like,
this snaking road up over the hills.

67
00:04:45,432 --> 00:04:47,263
And who is Sal?

68
00:04:47,334 --> 00:04:51,202
Sal is a friend who I met in San Diego,

69
00:04:51,271 --> 00:04:55,002
and he moved to L.A.
to work in the movie industry,

70
00:04:55,075 --> 00:04:59,239
and that's why now he does,
actually, costuming professionally.

71
00:04:59,312 --> 00:05:01,473
He builds, like, weird suits

72
00:05:01,548 --> 00:05:04,813
out of pretty much
any material you can imagine.

73
00:05:04,884 --> 00:05:08,183
And so, when we needed a costume,
I knew who to call.

74
00:05:18,798 --> 00:05:20,129
Yeah, this is it. Yeah.

75
00:05:22,435 --> 00:05:26,838
I'll maybe bring him his mail, actually,
as long as we're at it here.

76
00:05:27,641 --> 00:05:29,268
- Yeah--I don't like it.
- Okay.

77
00:05:29,342 --> 00:05:34,245
It looks too much like sex stuff
instead of--it's not very modern-looking.

78
00:05:34,314 --> 00:05:37,715
Remember, this is the future.
This isn't about, like, straps and stuff.

79
00:05:37,784 --> 00:05:40,150
That's like dungeons and torture
in the past.

80
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:43,553
The costume
is a manager's leisure suit.

81
00:05:43,623 --> 00:05:46,285
And the idea is that Hank Hardy Unruh,

82
00:05:46,359 --> 00:05:48,919
the representative
from the World Trade Organization,

83
00:05:48,995 --> 00:05:52,897
is going to go and wear
this breakaway business suit

84
00:05:52,966 --> 00:05:54,456
that's gonna be pulled off of him

85
00:05:54,534 --> 00:05:57,128
during the middle
of the keynote address to the conference.

86
00:05:57,203 --> 00:06:01,435
And then a big inflatable phallus
is going to emerge from this golden suit,

87
00:06:01,508 --> 00:06:03,442
and on the end of it is a TV screen

88
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:06,775
that he uses
to manage sweatshops remotely.

89
00:06:08,048 --> 00:06:10,107
The reason we got invited
to these things

90
00:06:10,183 --> 00:06:12,413
is we have a website
called gatt.org.

91
00:06:12,485 --> 00:06:16,285
The gatt.org website looks a lot
like the WTO website,

92
00:06:16,356 --> 00:06:19,519
but it is critical of the WTO.

93
00:06:19,592 --> 00:06:21,753
Most people, though,
who find gatt.org

94
00:06:21,828 --> 00:06:25,320
by searching
for the World Trade Organization...

95
00:06:25,398 --> 00:06:28,890
will go without reading it
and will send us e-mail directly.

96
00:06:28,968 --> 00:06:32,768
So a lot of people ask us
weird questions about tariffs and trade,

97
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,239
and we try to answer
as accurately as we can.

98
00:06:35,308 --> 00:06:37,367
And occasionally invitations come in

99
00:06:37,444 --> 00:06:41,175
from official
or quasi-official organizations

100
00:06:41,247 --> 00:06:44,648
asking for opinions
or asking us to attend a conference.

101
00:06:44,718 --> 00:06:48,381
And so, when they ask, they really think
they're talking to the WTO,

102
00:06:48,455 --> 00:06:52,516
and we respond by giving them
what we think they want--

103
00:06:52,592 --> 00:06:54,992
which is the opinions of the WTO--

104
00:06:55,061 --> 00:06:57,222
as accurately
as we can represent them.

105
00:06:57,297 --> 00:06:59,959
You know what I'm thinking,
actually, looking at this...

106
00:07:00,633 --> 00:07:03,227
is that maybe this is a zipper.

107
00:07:03,303 --> 00:07:04,361
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.

108
00:07:04,437 --> 00:07:07,167
Then he just unzips it
and pulls the thing at the same time.

109
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,105
- That could be really good.
- Because...

110
00:07:09,175 --> 00:07:13,168
to have it burst out of the Velcro,
it might not be strong enough to burst out,

111
00:07:13,246 --> 00:07:14,941
and then he'd have to pull it.

112
00:07:15,348 --> 00:07:17,213
Part of the thing
that gives us the courage

113
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:23,347
to go to Tampere...
with this really absurd suit

114
00:07:23,423 --> 00:07:26,415
is that we already went
to Salzburg, Austria, to represent

115
00:07:26,493 --> 00:07:30,486
the World Trade Organization
at a conference on tariffs and trade.

116
00:07:30,563 --> 00:07:35,762
There, our representative--the same guy
who is Hank Hardy Unruh here--

117
00:07:35,835 --> 00:07:38,770
was Dr. Andreas Bichlbauer there.

118
00:07:38,838 --> 00:07:40,772
And he gave a lecture that focused

119
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,675
on basically doing away with
all customs in the name of free trade,

120
00:07:45,745 --> 00:07:49,306
like getting rid of the <i>siesta</i>
in Spain and Italy

121
00:07:49,382 --> 00:07:52,112
so that business hours
could be the same.

122
00:07:52,185 --> 00:07:55,313
In Italy, on the other hand,
you have a totally different situation,

123
00:07:55,388 --> 00:08:01,054
in which sleep is...done during
the day as much as at night almost.

124
00:08:01,127 --> 00:08:05,860
And allowing people to sell their votes
over the Internet to the highest bidder

125
00:08:05,932 --> 00:08:10,665
so that the barriers to free trade
and things like votes were out of the way.

126
00:08:10,737 --> 00:08:14,673
One possible solution is being tested
in the field of American politics

127
00:08:14,741 --> 00:08:19,508
to streamline the grotesquely
inefficient system of elections.

128
00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:24,573
Vote-auction.com, in turn,
employs only four people

129
00:08:24,651 --> 00:08:27,085
to transmit not merely information,

130
00:08:27,153 --> 00:08:30,782
but actual money
directly to the consuming voter.

131
00:08:30,857 --> 00:08:37,854
It's a--a forum for people voluntarily
to offer their vote to the highest bidder.

132
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:39,865
And despite giving what we thought

133
00:08:39,933 --> 00:08:43,266
was a lecture that would immediately
get us booed off stage

134
00:08:43,336 --> 00:08:46,169
or get Bichlbauer
maybe even thrown in jail

135
00:08:46,239 --> 00:08:48,639
because people would figure out
he was an impostor,

136
00:08:48,708 --> 00:08:50,300
the exact opposite happened.

137
00:08:50,376 --> 00:08:52,037
Everybody was super polite.

138
00:08:52,111 --> 00:08:57,242
It didn't seem like everybody even noticed
that what he said was so absurd.

139
00:09:18,938 --> 00:09:20,269
Well, so far...

140
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:24,700
...we thought Bichlbauer
would be very extreme

141
00:09:24,777 --> 00:09:27,769
and people would react to it
and we'd get shut down,

142
00:09:27,847 --> 00:09:30,247
and nothing of the sort happened.

143
00:09:30,316 --> 00:09:34,650
So...this time we just have to really
push it and make it totally extreme.

144
00:09:34,721 --> 00:09:37,053
I mean, we keep trying
to push things further

145
00:09:37,123 --> 00:09:43,062
to try to really clarify the positions
of the WTO to make them very legible.

146
00:09:43,129 --> 00:09:45,597
It's one back,
but this--this is good.

147
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:56,798
<i>Andy.</i>

148
00:09:59,045 --> 00:10:00,535
It has a terrible siren.

149
00:10:06,119 --> 00:10:08,110
I have to check the Web
when we get upstairs.

150
00:10:08,187 --> 00:10:10,121
Oh, my God. What are we
gonna do about this--

151
00:10:10,189 --> 00:10:12,623
we gotta watch the Patrick video.

152
00:10:13,693 --> 00:10:15,524
It's weird stuff, isn't it?

153
00:10:16,863 --> 00:10:18,524
That's one way of putting it.

154
00:10:18,598 --> 00:10:20,259
It's really a problem.

155
00:10:20,333 --> 00:10:24,599
It seems about the weirdest
I've seen from him ever, I think.

156
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,871
It looks pretty good on this.

157
00:10:29,776 --> 00:10:31,038
Yeah, it's all right.

158
00:10:35,048 --> 00:10:39,109
What we have here is that we have
our cyber Andy here

159
00:10:39,185 --> 00:10:42,120
who's going to be wearing the suit.

160
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:45,783
And I'm going to be showing
all the different ways

161
00:10:45,858 --> 00:10:50,693
in which the Management Leisure Suit
can be useful in industry today

162
00:10:50,763 --> 00:10:54,927
and maximize leisure potential.

163
00:10:56,369 --> 00:10:59,634
Sometimes I don't think they know
what the hell to expect out of me.

164
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,103
What I'll come up with...

165
00:11:04,177 --> 00:11:09,240
is frequently not exactly
what they had in mind,

166
00:11:09,315 --> 00:11:12,580
but it's...you know,

167
00:11:12,652 --> 00:11:16,816
it fits in perfectly with what they're--
what they're going to do.

168
00:11:17,623 --> 00:11:19,955
Well, I came out
of a corporate environment

169
00:11:20,026 --> 00:11:25,760
and a company that I really gave,
you know, a good bit of my soul to

170
00:11:25,832 --> 00:11:28,232
over a long period of time progressively.

171
00:11:28,301 --> 00:11:31,429
And there were a lot of downsizings
and, of course,

172
00:11:31,504 --> 00:11:35,099
the company I was with I thought
was gonna take care of me.

173
00:11:35,174 --> 00:11:38,007
And I realized
that the bottom line is the bottom line,

174
00:11:38,077 --> 00:11:42,480
and there really isn't any humanity
in corporate structures,

175
00:11:42,548 --> 00:11:46,882
so therefore I hope that maybe
being part of the Yes Men

176
00:11:46,953 --> 00:11:51,686
might, in some way, help raise issues
about global work issues

177
00:11:51,758 --> 00:11:56,422
and social issues that are being
brought about by globalization, etcetera.

178
00:11:59,098 --> 00:12:01,157
I grew up in the suburbs here,

179
00:12:01,234 --> 00:12:07,537
and then I moved to Troy six years ago
for a job at the university.

180
00:12:07,607 --> 00:12:11,976
There's a place there called Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, and I teach there.

181
00:12:12,045 --> 00:12:14,377
I was moving back home, really,
because I'd been away--

182
00:12:14,447 --> 00:12:17,416
I'd been on the West Coast
for about 12 years.

183
00:12:17,483 --> 00:12:18,643
Wait, what is this?

184
00:12:18,718 --> 00:12:21,050
This is--it's this...

185
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,022
...SimCopter hack.
Here it is.

186
00:12:25,091 --> 00:12:27,889
I wanted to watch this tape
'cause this is the tape--

187
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,726
I've been cleaning out the archives,
and I found this tape in there.

188
00:12:31,798 --> 00:12:34,892
I met Andy through a friend, actually.
A mutual friend.

189
00:12:34,967 --> 00:12:38,130
Actually, two people
that we both knew

190
00:12:38,204 --> 00:12:41,173
suggested that me and Andy
get in contact with one another

191
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,572
because we'd both
done similar projects.

192
00:12:43,643 --> 00:12:47,977
One of the jobs that I had was
at this games company called Maxis

193
00:12:48,047 --> 00:12:49,776
that makes SimCity.

194
00:12:49,849 --> 00:12:54,513
One of the games they were making
at the time was SimCopter.

195
00:12:54,587 --> 00:12:57,420
I was in charge of the little people
that run around in the game.

196
00:12:57,490 --> 00:13:00,948
And I made them
wearing nothing but swim trunks.

197
00:13:01,027 --> 00:13:04,428
They'd all be boys, and they'd
be running around kissing each other.

198
00:13:04,497 --> 00:13:08,092
So all the people who ordered
this very popular video game

199
00:13:08,167 --> 00:13:12,331
suddenly were treated
to a completely different spectacle.

200
00:13:12,405 --> 00:13:14,600
So he got a lot
of press attention for it,

201
00:13:14,674 --> 00:13:18,166
and it was seen as a kind of--
an activist kind of statement

202
00:13:18,244 --> 00:13:21,680
about video games and the sort
of macho nature of them.

203
00:13:21,747 --> 00:13:23,681
It all involves
the unexpected appearance

204
00:13:23,749 --> 00:13:27,150
of some gay, kissing muscle men
every Friday the 13th.

205
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:30,053
He's becoming a celebrity of sorts
in the computer world--

206
00:13:30,123 --> 00:13:32,182
especially the gay computer world.

207
00:13:32,258 --> 00:13:35,523
And then I had done a project
using Barbie dolls,

208
00:13:35,595 --> 00:13:39,031
where we switched the voice boxes
of Barbie dolls and G.I. Joes.

209
00:13:39,098 --> 00:13:43,262
<i>Troops! Attack that Cobra jet</i>
<i>with heavy firepower!</i>

210
00:13:44,504 --> 00:13:48,998
And that ended up in G.I. Joes that
said things like, "I love to shop with you,"

211
00:13:49,075 --> 00:13:53,068
and Barbie dolls that said things like,
"Dead men tell no lies."

212
00:13:53,146 --> 00:13:56,240
And we got them back
on store shelves

213
00:13:56,315 --> 00:14:00,183
all over the country in what we called
our "Shop Giving Program."

214
00:14:00,253 --> 00:14:02,084
We're like Santa Claus,
only less radical,

215
00:14:02,155 --> 00:14:04,715
because Santa Claus
breaks into people's houses. We don't.

216
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:07,156
So that when kids
got them at Christmas,

217
00:14:07,226 --> 00:14:08,955
they were surprised to find their doll

218
00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:11,360
saying something other
than what they expected.

219
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:15,423
And the kids thought it was hilarious.
They loved having these crazy dolls.

220
00:14:15,501 --> 00:14:16,991
We sent out press releases,

221
00:14:17,069 --> 00:14:21,130
so it was in the news on Christmas Day
and for the week following.

222
00:14:21,207 --> 00:14:26,008
It just went through every kind
of media channel imaginable.

223
00:14:26,078 --> 00:14:28,842
<i>- The B.L.O...</i>
<i>- The Mission of the B.L.O...</i>

224
00:14:28,915 --> 00:14:32,146
<i>The Barbie Liberation Organization--</i>
<i>the B.L.O...</i>

225
00:14:32,218 --> 00:14:36,814
<i>It was real funny 'cause it looks</i>
<i>like, "Come on, fight me. Fight me!"</i>

226
00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:39,619
<i>- Except it says...</i>
<i>- I love school. Don't you?</i>

227
00:14:39,692 --> 00:14:41,023
<i>Let's sing with the band tonight!</i>

228
00:14:41,093 --> 00:14:42,754
Now we're--with the Yes Men,

229
00:14:42,828 --> 00:14:46,559
we're calling that sort of basic idea
"Identity Correction,"

230
00:14:46,632 --> 00:14:48,361
like saying, these things--

231
00:14:48,434 --> 00:14:51,699
these things that are not
really presenting themselves honestly

232
00:14:51,771 --> 00:14:55,434
or that hide something about their nature
that's really scary,

233
00:14:55,508 --> 00:14:56,839
we want to bring that out.

234
00:14:56,909 --> 00:14:59,241
We want to show that.
We want to demonstrate that.

235
00:14:59,312 --> 00:15:02,145
And so, like for the WTO--

236
00:15:02,215 --> 00:15:04,046
we think that the WTO

237
00:15:04,116 --> 00:15:06,778
is doing all these terrible things
that are hurting people

238
00:15:06,852 --> 00:15:08,843
and they're saying the exact opposite.

239
00:15:08,921 --> 00:15:11,913
And so we're interested
in correcting their identity.

240
00:15:11,991 --> 00:15:15,483
In the same way that an identity thief
steals somebody's identity

241
00:15:15,561 --> 00:15:19,395
in order to basically
just engage in criminal practices,

242
00:15:19,465 --> 00:15:21,797
we target people
we see as criminals,

243
00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:24,461
and we steal their identity
to try to make them honest

244
00:15:24,537 --> 00:15:26,801
or to try to present
a more honest face.

245
00:15:26,872 --> 00:15:29,864
And so...you know,
I guess this whole thing

246
00:15:29,942 --> 00:15:32,433
has its roots for both me and Andy

247
00:15:32,511 --> 00:15:34,843
in stuff that we've been doing
for a long time,

248
00:15:34,914 --> 00:15:38,577
which is trying to create public spectacles
that, in some kind of poetic way,

249
00:15:38,651 --> 00:15:43,179
reveal something about our culture
that's profoundly a problem.

250
00:15:58,371 --> 00:15:59,736
That must be Sal.

251
00:16:01,674 --> 00:16:04,006
- Oh, dude.
- Are you okay?

252
00:16:04,076 --> 00:16:06,067
I got fuckin' lost on that...

253
00:16:06,145 --> 00:16:07,476
Oh, no.

254
00:16:09,515 --> 00:16:11,005
It's been a long day.

255
00:16:11,083 --> 00:16:12,482
Holy shit!

256
00:16:13,786 --> 00:16:18,723
Well, I probably started it
in June or July.

257
00:16:19,358 --> 00:16:23,124
So, on and off
for a good two to three months.

258
00:16:23,195 --> 00:16:27,131
Just a couple more pieces
of Velcro, and that'll really be it.

259
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:30,691
And, yeah, we're...
at the end of the line.

260
00:16:33,606 --> 00:16:35,767
Okay, look.
So we're making a list here.

261
00:16:35,841 --> 00:16:38,571
Wednesday we leave
for Finland early,

262
00:16:38,644 --> 00:16:41,511
so, Sunday...

263
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:42,911
make lecture.

264
00:16:42,982 --> 00:16:44,916
Bigger?
Oh, no. That's a big one.

265
00:16:44,984 --> 00:16:51,150
PowerPoint...
and then speech.

266
00:16:51,223 --> 00:16:52,281
Finish.

267
00:17:04,403 --> 00:17:11,070
It's 4:03 a.m., and I guess
I'll just keep working until morning.

268
00:17:11,143 --> 00:17:13,475
I feel...somewhat awake.

269
00:17:13,546 --> 00:17:16,538
And then Andy can take over again.

270
00:17:17,983 --> 00:17:21,475
We can do
around-the-clock shifts, I guess.

271
00:17:23,255 --> 00:17:28,090
I'm just trying to add a few slides
into the PowerPoint here.

272
00:17:29,195 --> 00:17:34,690
Because, actually, a lot of the things
that business leaders of the world

273
00:17:34,767 --> 00:17:39,170
say in relation to these issues
are actually sort of very similar

274
00:17:39,238 --> 00:17:40,899
to what Unruh Hank Hardy says,

275
00:17:40,973 --> 00:17:44,875
even though maybe Unruh Hank Hardy
is a little bit more frank about it.

276
00:17:44,944 --> 00:17:47,970
And, in fact,
when he talked to CNBC,

277
00:17:48,047 --> 00:17:49,378
when he was debating,

278
00:17:49,448 --> 00:17:52,440
an activist, Barry Coates,
just sort of agreed with what he said

279
00:17:52,518 --> 00:17:56,352
when he said that this is what
the WTO does, and this is our position.

280
00:17:56,422 --> 00:18:01,086
And Barry Coates said,
"Well, that's funny. That's exactly right."

281
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:09,090
So...after Salzburg, we got an e-mail
asking a representative of the WTO

282
00:18:09,168 --> 00:18:12,228
to appear on CNBC
MarketWrap Europe.

283
00:18:12,304 --> 00:18:18,971
And the producer apparently didn't notice
that gatt.org was not the WTO site.

284
00:18:19,044 --> 00:18:25,347
And Granwyth Hulatberi, which is
another name that Andy just came up with,

285
00:18:25,418 --> 00:18:28,012
responded and, of course, said,

286
00:18:28,087 --> 00:18:31,579
"Well, I'd be happy to go
on CNBC MarketWrap."

287
00:18:31,657 --> 00:18:37,493
And the producer wanted him to debate
an anti-globalization protester.

288
00:18:37,563 --> 00:18:43,661
If the WTO is serious about addressing
the issues of world poverty,

289
00:18:43,736 --> 00:18:47,228
it would do things
completely differently than it is now.

290
00:18:47,306 --> 00:18:50,901
Let me bring in Granwyth on that.
Is that a fair point?

291
00:18:52,077 --> 00:18:56,480
Well, of course it is, but I think Barry,
as well as all the other protesters,

292
00:18:56,549 --> 00:19:01,646
are simply, in a word, focused too much
on reality and on facts and figures.

293
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,212
And I think I would have to say
that this is a long-term problem

294
00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:07,782
that comes down
to a problem of education.

295
00:19:07,860 --> 00:19:12,354
We have to find a way to convince
perhaps not the protesters

296
00:19:12,431 --> 00:19:14,262
but the protesters' children

297
00:19:14,333 --> 00:19:20,067
to follow thinkers like Milton Friedman
and Darwin and--and so on,

298
00:19:20,139 --> 00:19:23,074
rather than what the protesters
have been reared on--

299
00:19:23,142 --> 00:19:26,202
Trotsky and Robespierre
and Abbie Hoffman.

300
00:19:26,278 --> 00:19:30,271
Und ich glaube, dass das 
Legen der Inhalte von Erziehung,

301
00:19:30,349 --> 00:19:33,079
ein Legen in private H�nde -


302
00:19:33,152 --> 00:19:36,246
eine Konzentrierung der Ressourcen 
im privaten Sektor -

303
00:19:36,322 --> 00:19:38,483
wird automatisch zu diesem Ergebnis
f�hren,


304
00:19:38,557 --> 00:19:41,048
und wir werden die Kinder der
Protestierer erzogen sehen

305
00:19:41,126 --> 00:19:43,617
mit v�llig anderen Sorgen.

306
00:19:43,696 --> 00:19:45,357
Lassen Sie mich darauf 
antworten, Barry.


307
00:19:45,431 --> 00:19:47,092
Ich - ich m�chte nur sagen, 


308
00:19:47,166 --> 00:19:49,361
dass diese vereinfachende Argumentation


309
00:19:49,435 --> 00:19:53,098
wirklich, also, zu beleidigend und un-
glaubw�rdig f�r die meisten Menschen ist.

310
00:19:53,172 --> 00:19:56,903
Die Tatsache, dass wir die Wahl haben 
zwischen Milton Friedman und Abbie Hoffman

311
00:19:56,976 --> 00:20:00,377
als unsere Quellen f�r �komische Geschichte
und Philosophie..

312
00:20:00,446 --> 00:20:03,438
Es gibt viele, viele Denker 
in der Welt -

313
00:20:03,516 --> 00:20:06,007
nur nicht die, die bei der WTO
angestellt sind -

314
00:20:06,085 --> 00:20:09,953
die glauben, dass die Ans�tze der 
WTO sehr sch�dlich sind

315
00:20:10,022 --> 00:20:12,684
f�r die Entwicklungsaussichten
der �rmsten L�nder

316
00:20:12,758 --> 00:20:14,419
Lassen Sie mich auf Granwyth
antworten.

317
00:20:15,961 --> 00:20:21,558
Ja. Also ich m�chte auf Granwyth'
- sorry - auf Barry's Punkt eingehen,

318
00:20:21,634 --> 00:20:23,124
dass es andere Denker gibt.

319
00:20:23,202 --> 00:20:27,468
Nun, wer hat denn wirklich die Macht 
in der Welt, wer hat also Recht

320
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:29,201
mit seiner Weltsicht?

321
00:20:29,275 --> 00:20:31,607
Ich meine, ich denke die Antwort 
ist leicht.

322
00:20:31,677 --> 00:20:35,511
Und wenn Sie sich meine Ansichten und 
die Ansichten meiner Organisation ansehen,

323
00:20:35,581 --> 00:20:39,244
und die vieler, vieler wichtiger 
Entscheider in der Welt -

324

00:20:39,318 --> 00:20:43,311
den m�chtigen Menschen also - dann stimmen 
sie mit dem ein, was ich hier erkl�re.

325
00:20:43,389 --> 00:20:46,881
Und ich denke das ist genug zu dieser
Weltsicht.


326
00:20:46,959 --> 00:20:48,119
Kurz, Barry.

327
00:20:48,193 --> 00:20:49,990
Also, ich meine - was wir hier haben

328
00:20:50,062 --> 00:20:53,657
ist ein Bild der Reichen und M�chtigen, die
bestimmte Ansichten haben,

329
00:20:53,732 --> 00:20:57,065
die sie dann durch die 
Institutionen propagieren

330
00:20:57,136 --> 00:20:58,728
in denen sie eine starke Stimme haben.


331
00:20:58,804 --> 00:21:02,205
Und ich denke das ist exakt das Modell,
das in Frage gestellt wird.

332
00:21:02,274 --> 00:21:07,211
Und zwar von einer sehr grossen,
weiter wachsenden Anzahl

333
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:09,611
von Menschen, die beunruhigt wegen
dieser Regelungen sind.

334
00:21:09,682 --> 00:21:12,742
Die Menschen auf den Strassen 
von Genua und Seattle

335
00:21:12,818 --> 00:21:15,286
sind nicht die gesamte Bewegung.

336
00:21:15,354 --> 00:21:16,946
Sie sind nur die Spitze des 
Eisbergs.

337
00:21:17,022 --> 00:21:20,856
Wir haben letztes Jahr in einer Studie
die Entwicklungsl�nder angesehen,

338
00:21:20,926 --> 00:21:24,020
und haben herausgefunden, dass inner-
halb eines Jahres in 50 Demonstrationen

339
00:21:24,096 --> 00:21:26,929
�ber eine Million Mensch aus 
Entwicklungsl�ndern

340
00:21:26,999 --> 00:21:29,661
dabei waren, zu versuchen, die 
Regeln zu ver�ndern,

341
00:21:29,735 --> 00:21:32,465
die ihnen von der Weltbank und dem
IWF aufgezwungen 

342
00:21:32,538 --> 00:21:35,200
und durch die WTO festgelegt
wurden.

343
00:21:35,274 --> 00:21:38,141
Danke. Wir m�ssen zum Ende kommen. Barry 
Coates, danke f�r ihre Teilnahme.

344
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:42,044
Danke auch an Granwyth Hulatberi und
Vernon Ellis in New York.

345
00:22:08,807 --> 00:22:10,206
Abschnitt drei?


346
00:22:13,412 --> 00:22:14,572
Naja...

347
00:22:14,647 --> 00:22:17,980
Es ist nicht wirklich ein Kleider-
sack, aber, �hm...

348
00:22:19,018 --> 00:22:20,349
...es wird schon gehen.

349
00:22:21,987 --> 00:22:25,150
Ja? Glaubst du das ist sehr
gesch�ftsm�ssig?

350
00:22:25,224 --> 00:22:26,885
So richtig offiziell?


351
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:29,018
Sehr...sehr dickes Geld.

352
00:22:29,094 --> 00:22:32,894
Okay, gut. Genau das brauchen wir.
Ich brauche eine protzige Uhr.

353
00:22:34,033 --> 00:22:38,697
Warst du nerv�s, als du nach
Salzburg gefahren bist?

354
00:22:38,771 --> 00:22:41,171
Die Sache ist, dass, selbst mit
dieser Salzburg-Sache,

355
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,970
waren wir so irgendwie...


356
00:22:44,043 --> 00:22:47,843
- wir waren schon sehr nerv�s, 
aber die ganze Zeit �ber -

357
00:22:47,913 --> 00:22:50,575
es wird einem nicht bewusst, bis 
man wirklich dort ist.

358
00:22:50,649 --> 00:22:51,775
Stimmt.

359
00:22:51,850 --> 00:22:55,251
Nun, nachdem, was ich von der 
Rede gesehen habe

360
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,721
f�ngt es ganz normal an,

361
00:22:58,791 --> 00:23:01,282
so dass die Leute sich entspannen
k�nnen -

362
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,524
er kann sich sozusagen langsam
reinarbeiten.

363
00:23:07,266 --> 00:23:09,257
Sohn einer verdammten Hure.

364
00:23:11,170 --> 00:23:12,501
Scheisse.

365
00:23:13,505 --> 00:23:16,633
Ja, hast du einen Lappen? Fuck.

366
00:23:17,276 --> 00:23:21,474
Scheisse. Ich hab einen mit Schuhpoli-
tur drauf, der wird nicht gehen, oder?

367
00:23:24,383 --> 00:23:26,715
- Der Bildschirm hat etwas Farbe abgekriegt?
- Jepp.

368
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:37,652
- Das h�rt sich wie ein Rasenm�her an.
- Das ist ein bisschen laut, stimmt.

369
00:23:38,997 --> 00:23:40,328
- Das ist nicht gut.
- Vergiss es.

370
00:23:50,142 --> 00:23:53,305
Guck mal, es macht ein neues Ger�usch.
Gut. Gut. Gut. Toll.

371
00:23:53,378 --> 00:23:54,970
- Ist das nicht toll?
- Probiers aus.

372
00:23:55,047 --> 00:23:56,639
Jetzt funktioniert es nicht.

373
00:23:56,715 --> 00:23:58,546
- Oh, H�r zu! Yeah.
- So muss es sein!

374
00:23:59,451 --> 00:24:00,782
Wir m�ssen uns beeilen!

375
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:15,863
Okay, zehn Minuten.
Sie sind beide da.

376
00:24:18,337 --> 00:24:19,827
Hey, Sal.

377
00:24:21,073 --> 00:24:22,131
Danke.

378
00:24:23,976 --> 00:24:25,136
Viel Gl�ck.

379
00:24:26,478 --> 00:24:28,309
- Wir werden sehen, wie es l�uft.
- Danke f�r alles.

380
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:30,974
Ja, schlaf gut.
Viel Vergn�gen.

381
00:24:31,950 --> 00:24:33,611
- Viel Spass.
- Bis bald.

382
00:24:33,685 --> 00:24:36,210
Zieh in meinen Raum.
Entspann dich.

383
00:24:36,288 --> 00:24:37,448
Okay.

384
00:24:40,325 --> 00:24:43,158
Ist das alles?
Wow. Wie effizient.

385
00:24:43,228 --> 00:24:44,388
Okay.

386
00:24:45,831 --> 00:24:48,664
Effizient. 
Ein Paradebeispiel an Effizienz.


387
00:24:51,804 --> 00:24:55,240
Du hast etwas in deinem Gesicht.
Nein, hier.

388
00:24:57,075 --> 00:24:58,133
So ist es besser.

389
00:25:30,576 --> 00:25:32,407
Wir sind letzte Nacht angekommen.

390
00:25:32,477 --> 00:25:34,809
Du musstest ein Nickerchen machen.
Du brauchtest etwas Schlaf.

391
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,211
Ich war einfach fertig, stimmt.

392
00:25:36,281 --> 00:25:40,115
Und ich bin los und hab mir den 
Konferenzraum angesehen.

393
00:25:40,185 --> 00:25:43,586
Es gab ein Schild an der T�r, darauf
stand "Textilien der Zukunft."

394
00:25:43,655 --> 00:25:47,591
Unruh Hank Hardy war der erste
Redner - Hank Hardy Unruh.

395
00:25:47,659 --> 00:25:50,059
Und, weisst du, alles
wirkte irgendwie offiziell.

396
00:25:50,128 --> 00:25:52,790
Die Kaffeetassen waren schon da.

397
00:25:52,865 --> 00:25:54,856
Und ich dachte,
"Das ist toll. Ich bin bereit.

398
00:25:54,933 --> 00:25:57,094
Ich weiss exakt wo das ist.
Wir k�nnen da hin."

399
00:25:57,169 --> 00:25:59,569
Ich hatte einen Ablauf - Ich habe 
einen kleinen Ablaufplan aufgestellt,

400
00:25:59,638 --> 00:26:03,836
Ich hatte Karten des Orts und die 
aktuellsten Konferenz-Flyer.

401
00:26:05,210 --> 00:26:07,940
Bin dann wieder hergekommen.
Dann sind wir fr�h schlafen gegangen.

402
00:26:08,013 --> 00:26:13,007
Hank hat sofort geschnarcht,
aber ich konnte �berhaupt nicht schlafen.

403
00:26:13,085 --> 00:26:14,780
Ich lag nur wach im Bett,

404
00:26:14,853 --> 00:26:18,516
und ab und zu bin ich ins Bad oder hab das 
Licht angemacht und etwas gelesen,

405
00:26:18,590 --> 00:26:21,491
denn ich war einfach unf�hig zu
schlafen.

406
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,893
Und irgendwann bin ich dann doch ein-
geschlafen, kurz vor dem Aufwachen.

407
00:26:28,734 --> 00:26:29,894
Toll.

408
00:26:32,671 --> 00:26:35,401
Ich lass meine Brieftasche hier.

409
00:26:38,744 --> 00:26:40,234
Okay, los gehts.

410
00:26:43,849 --> 00:26:45,510
- Warte.
- Es ist 8:00.

411
00:26:45,584 --> 00:26:47,575
Ich denke ich werde sie wirklich
hierlassen.

412
00:26:53,525 --> 00:26:54,924
Kommst du?

413
00:26:59,431 --> 00:27:01,922
Hank, es ist ein bisschen fr�h,
um aufzustehen.

414
00:27:02,768 --> 00:27:06,499
- Das geht schon ok so.
- Ich meine, ich dachte wir machen Urlaub.

415
00:27:06,571 --> 00:27:08,232
- Wie Bitte?
- Urlaub.

416
00:27:08,307 --> 00:27:09,706
Ich weiss.

417
00:27:09,775 --> 00:27:12,437
- Ich w�rde gern Urlaub machen.
- Und sie bringen mich nach Finnland...

418
00:27:17,349 --> 00:27:20,682
Gib mir das Ei.
Ich werde es dir pellen.

419
00:27:20,752 --> 00:27:22,413
Das w�re nett. Danke.

420
00:27:27,292 --> 00:27:29,783
- Aber wir sind sp�t dran.
- Sind wir?

421
00:27:29,861 --> 00:27:35,026
Ein bisschen. Es ist nach 8:00, und ich
wollte eigentlich um 8:00 am Tagungsort ein.

422
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:36,761
- Okay.
- Das klappt schon.

423
00:27:36,835 --> 00:27:38,996
- Ist es nach 8:00?
- Es ist nach 8:00.

424
00:27:39,071 --> 00:27:40,231
Ja.

425
00:27:42,808 --> 00:27:44,969
Weisst du, tu so, als ob...

426
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,383
Toll, wir sind p�nktlich.

427
00:27:56,455 --> 00:27:57,615
Oh, gut.

428
00:28:00,192 --> 00:28:03,025
Hallo, Ich bin Hank Hardy Unruh.
Ich bin von der -

429
00:28:03,095 --> 00:28:05,495
- Oh, Klar. Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen.
- Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen.

430
00:28:05,564 --> 00:28:07,725
- Wir haben sie schon erwartet.
- Oh, gut.

431
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:11,428
Es ist nicht 9:30 - nein.
Es ist 8:30, oder?

432
00:28:12,237 --> 00:28:16,071
- Aber du wirst...
- Es ist jetzt 8:30...oder?

433
00:28:16,141 --> 00:28:20,475
Es...ist...es ist 9:30, ja.

434
00:28:20,545 --> 00:28:21,876
- Jetzt?
- Ja.

435
00:28:21,947 --> 00:28:24,108
- Ja.
- Es ist 9:30?

436
00:28:24,182 --> 00:28:25,581
- Ja.
- Ja. Fast.

437
00:28:25,650 --> 00:28:28,380
- Ich bin dran um...
- Es ist im Moment 27 nach 9:00.

438
00:28:28,453 --> 00:28:30,944
Oh mein Gott.
Wir sind eine Stunde zu sp�t.

439
00:28:31,023 --> 00:28:33,014
- Oh mein Gott. Danke.
- Gern geschehen.

440
00:28:33,091 --> 00:28:36,458
- Nun, wir m�ssen-- wir fangen in 3--
- Jedenfalls, sch�n sie kennenzulernen.

441
00:28:36,528 --> 00:28:38,462
Wissen sie,
dass er gerade dran ist?


442
00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:41,124
Ja - naja,
...haben sie erwartet.

443
00:28:41,199 --> 00:28:43,258
- Oh, Jesus. Okay.
- Okay, wir...

444
00:28:45,504 --> 00:28:48,667
Kommen sie auch?
Sind sie registriert?

445
00:28:49,674 --> 00:28:53,166
Ich bin sein Assistent.
Wir arbeiten beide mit ihm.

446
00:28:53,245 --> 00:28:55,736
Wir m�ssen uns jetzt um eine Dinge
k�mmern.

447
00:28:55,814 --> 00:28:57,543
- Hier ist es.
- Okay.

448
00:28:57,616 --> 00:29:00,608
- M�chten Sie am Dinner teilnehmen?
- Ja, bitte.

449
00:29:00,685 --> 00:29:03,279
- Sind damit Kosten verbunden, oder...
- Nein, das ist inklusive.

450
00:29:03,355 --> 00:29:06,620
Okay. Ja, wir-- wir werden 
am Dinner teilnehmen. Das ist toll.


451
00:29:07,526 --> 00:29:09,357
- Wow.
- Ich glaube, wir m�ssen uns beeilen.

452
00:29:09,428 --> 00:29:12,022
- Ja. Ich werde dich begleiten.
- Ja. Bitte.

453
00:29:13,865 --> 00:29:15,696
Wobei, nein, Sie k�nnen jetzt nicht 
reingehen,

454
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:18,099
weil Sie sich vorher noch darum
k�mmern m�ssen.

455
00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:21,662
Wir sind eine Stunde -
Wir sind eine Stunde zu sp�t.

456
00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:24,402
- Ich muss etwas erledigen.
- Ja.

457
00:29:24,476 --> 00:29:26,808
Er muss jetzt gleich einen sehr 
wichtigen Anruf t�tigen.

458
00:29:26,878 --> 00:29:28,709
- Ich brauche daf�r 5 Minuten.
- Jetzt gleich?

459
00:29:28,780 --> 00:29:29,838
Tut mir leid.

460
00:29:29,915 --> 00:29:32,748
Aber Sie m�ssen Ihre Pr�sentation
in 2 Minuten beginne.

461
00:29:32,818 --> 00:29:35,309
Bitte sagen Sie ihm, dass ich
3 Minuten sp�ter komme.

462
00:29:41,093 --> 00:29:43,288
Nun, es gibt da noch ein Detail.

463
00:29:43,361 --> 00:29:46,524
Jesus. Fuck.
Wieso wussten wir das nicht?

464
00:29:46,598 --> 00:29:48,759
Keine Ahnung.
Das ist wirklich unglaublich.

465
00:29:49,801 --> 00:29:52,292
- Komm schon.
- Okay. Los gehts.

466
00:29:53,605 --> 00:29:55,766
Oh Mann, das ist schrecklich.

467
00:29:55,841 --> 00:29:58,105
Das ist das bl�deste -
Ich kann nicht...

468
00:29:59,211 --> 00:30:02,044
Das ist - ist eine Stunde Unterschied.
Hier ist eine andere Zeitzone.

469
00:30:04,950 --> 00:30:08,147
Das ist unglaublich.
Wie zur H�lle kann das passieren?

470
00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:12,054
- Okay, so. Das ist erledigt.
- Meine Damen und Herren...

471
00:30:12,124 --> 00:30:14,524
Okay, schnell,
das Shirt - die Unterw�sche.

472
00:30:15,994 --> 00:30:17,256
Die goldene Unterw�sche.

473
00:30:17,329 --> 00:30:18,591
Okay...

474
00:30:19,998 --> 00:30:21,989
Muss ich da was durchstecken?

475
00:30:22,067 --> 00:30:23,728
- Nein.
- Okay.

476
00:30:23,802 --> 00:30:24,962
Brauchst du Hilfe?

477
00:30:26,838 --> 00:30:29,238
- H�ngen deine Hoden raus?
- Aehm, ja..

478
00:30:31,209 --> 00:30:32,267
Okay.

479
00:30:32,344 --> 00:30:33,504
Los gehts.

480
00:30:34,779 --> 00:30:35,939
Okay. Gut.

481
00:30:37,916 --> 00:30:41,647
Oh Gott.
Okay...Gut.

482
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,188
- Hier ist ein bisschen Luft drin.
- Okay, jetzt die Hosen.

483
00:30:44,789 --> 00:30:45,847
Beeil dich.

484
00:30:49,761 --> 00:30:53,094
Oh, Hi. Sch�n, Sie kennenzulernen.
Es tut mir so leid.

485
00:31:10,515 --> 00:31:13,348
Danke.
Es tut mir schrecklich leid -

486
00:31:15,787 --> 00:31:17,618
Ja, ich werde die Pr�sentation 
halten.

487
00:31:19,457 --> 00:31:20,788
Tut mir schrecklich leid.

488
00:31:20,859 --> 00:31:24,727
Ich denke die Welthandelsorganistion sollte 
�ber Zeitzonen Bescheid wissen, aber...

489
00:31:26,431 --> 00:31:28,922
Jemand sagte, 
"Ist dort nicht eine andere Zeitzone?"

490
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,096
Und ich sagte, "Nein. Ganz Europa 
hat die gleiche Zeitzone."

491
00:31:33,171 --> 00:31:36,004
- Und das hat uns alle �berzeugt.
- Mich auch.

492
00:31:36,074 --> 00:31:40,238
Wir waren �berzeugt, dass es die richtige
Zeit ist, und dann sind wir heute Morgen...

493
00:31:40,312 --> 00:31:43,440
5 oder 10 Minuten zu sp�t aufgewacht,

494
00:31:43,515 --> 00:31:47,474
und haben dann bemerkt, dass der Laptop
nicht funktioniert.

495
00:31:47,552 --> 00:31:49,952
Nein, vielleicht k�nnen wir die 
Reihenfolge �ndern.

496
00:31:50,021 --> 00:31:52,353
K�nnen wir jemand anders vorziehen,
und ich bin sp�ter dran?

497
00:31:52,424 --> 00:31:54,153
Sie sagten, "Ich denke, das k�nnen
wir machen."

498
00:31:54,226 --> 00:31:57,320
Sie haben dann die Kaffee-Leute 
angerufen und mit ihnen gesprochen,

499
00:31:57,395 --> 00:31:58,953
um zu sehen, das mit dem Kaffee klappt.

500
00:31:59,030 --> 00:32:00,019
Das wars.

501
00:33:13,071 --> 00:33:14,538
Vielen Dank.

502
00:33:15,106 --> 00:33:16,368
Dieser hier...

503
00:33:17,642 --> 00:33:21,373
Es ist mir eine Ehre, hier in Tampere 
sein zu k�nnen, und vor Ihnen zu reden,

504
00:33:21,446 --> 00:33:25,177
den herausragendsten Textilarbeitern
der Welt.

505
00:33:26,117 --> 00:33:30,451
Ich sehe hier in allen Gesichtern einen
ergreifenden, kindlichen Eifer,

506
00:33:30,522 --> 00:33:34,390
die gr�ssten Textil-Fragen der Welt
in Angriff zu nehmen.

507
00:33:34,459 --> 00:33:36,791
Wie passt die WTO da hinein?

508
00:33:36,861 --> 00:33:41,355
Was wir bei von WTO machen wollen,
ist Ihnen zu helfen, ihre Profitziele
zu erreichen.

509
00:33:41,433 --> 00:33:43,697
Und in nur 20 Minuten von jetzt an


510
00:33:43,768 --> 00:33:48,000
werde ich Ihnen die L�sungen der WTO


511
00:33:48,073 --> 00:33:51,804
zu zwei der gr��ten Managementprobleme
vorstellen.

512
00:33:51,876 --> 00:33:55,107
Erstens - in Verbindung mit entfernt 
arbeitender Belegschaft bleiben,

513
00:33:55,180 --> 00:33:59,014
und zweitens - gesunde Mengen an
freier Zeit behaupten k�nnen.

514
00:33:59,084 --> 00:34:03,282
Die L�sung basiert - grob gesagt -
auf Textilien.

515
00:34:05,824 --> 00:34:09,191
Aber wie kam es eigentlich dazu, 
dass Arbeiter zu einem Problem wurden?

516
00:34:10,362 --> 00:34:12,227
Bevor ich unsere L�sung vorstelle,

517
00:34:12,297 --> 00:34:17,291
M�chte ich noch ein bisschen �ber die Geschichte
des Mitarbeiter-Verwaltungs-Problems sprechen.

518
00:34:17,369 --> 00:34:21,032
Wir kennen alle den Amerikanischen
B�rgerkrieg - jedenfalls in den U.S.A.

519
00:34:21,106 --> 00:34:25,270
Es war der blutigste, unprofitabelste
Krieg in der Geschichte unseres Landes.

520
00:34:25,343 --> 00:34:27,709
Ein Krieg, in dem unglaublich
riesige Mengen Geldes

521
00:34:27,779 --> 00:34:30,942
aus dem Fenster geworfen wurden -
und das alles f�r Textilien.

522
00:34:31,015 --> 00:34:35,952
In den 1860ern ertrank der S�den
f�rmlich in Geld.

523
00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:38,511
Er hatte gerade den "cotton
gin" erfunden, 

524
00:34:38,590 --> 00:34:41,058
einer Maschine zur Entk�rnung
von Baumwolle.


525
00:34:41,126 --> 00:34:44,095
die den S�den aus seiner pr�-
industriellen Vergangenheit holte.

526
00:34:44,162 --> 00:34:45,823
Hunderttausende von Arbeitern,

527
00:34:45,897 --> 00:34:48,331
die vorher in ihren Herkunftsl�ndern
arbeitslos waren,

528
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,391
bekamen n�tzliche Jobs in der 
Textilbranche.

529
00:34:51,169 --> 00:34:55,162
Und in dieses rosige Bild von Freiheit
und Wachstum trat - Sie ahnen es - 

530
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:57,231
die Nord-Staaten.

531
00:34:57,308 --> 00:35:01,301
Nun, einige Br�gerkriegsbef�rworter sagen, 
dass der Krieg, trotz all seiner Fehler,

532
00:35:01,379 --> 00:35:03,609
wenigstens zur Folge hatte, dass 

533
00:35:03,681 --> 00:35:06,616
Formen von unfreiwilligem Import von 
Arbeitskr�ften verboten wurden.

534
00:35:06,684 --> 00:35:09,278
Diese Formen sind nat�rlich auch
eine schreckliche Sache.

535
00:35:09,354 --> 00:35:11,345
Ich pers�nlich bin ein
Sklavereigegner.

536
00:35:11,423 --> 00:35:15,757
Allerdings gibt es keinen Zweifel daran, dass
der Markt auch ohne diesen Eingriff,

537
00:35:15,827 --> 00:35:20,423
letztendlich sauberere Formen von Arbeit
hervorgebracht h�tte.

538
00:35:21,065 --> 00:35:23,363
Um meinen Standpunkt zu beweisen,
folgen Sie mir bitte in ein,

539
00:35:23,435 --> 00:35:26,768
wie Albert Einstein es nannte,
Gedankenexperiment.

540
00:35:27,672 --> 00:35:32,006
Gehen wir davon aus, dass die unfreiwillige Einfuhr
von Arbeitskr�ften nie verboten worden w�re.

541
00:35:32,076 --> 00:35:35,671
Sklaven w�rden immer noch existieren,
und es w�re einfach, welche zu besitzen.

542
00:35:35,747 --> 00:35:39,581
Was glauben Sie, w�rde es heute kosten,
einen Skaven profitabel zu unterhalten,

543
00:35:39,651 --> 00:35:41,642
sagen wir, hier in Tampere?

544
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:47,123
Schaun wir mal ... ein einfaches
Kleidungsset kostet mindestens 50$.

545
00:35:47,192 --> 00:35:50,923
Zwei Mahlzeiten bei McDonald's
kosten ungef�hr 10$.

546
00:35:50,995 --> 00:35:54,988
Der billigste und kleinste Raum
kostet ungef�hr 250$ im Monat.

547
00:35:55,066 --> 00:35:58,001
Damit er gut funktioniert, m�ssen Sie 
f�r die medizinische Versorgung des 
Sklaven sorgen.

548
00:35:58,069 --> 00:36:02,130
Wenn sein Herkunftsland z.B. verschmutzt 
ist, dann kann das teuer werden.

549
00:36:02,207 --> 00:36:05,199
Und nat�rlich ist mit den Kinderarbeits-
gesetzen hier in Finnland

550
00:36:05,276 --> 00:36:08,109
der Gro�teil des Jugendmarktes einfach
nicht verf�gbar.

551
00:36:09,214 --> 00:36:13,150
Nun lassen Sie den selben Sklaven zu
Hause. Sagen wir in Gabun.

552
00:36:13,218 --> 00:36:17,086
In Gabun kostet Nahrung f�r 2 Wochen
ungef�hr 10$.

553
00:36:17,155 --> 00:36:22,218
F�r $250 bekommt man Wohnraum f�r
2 Jahre, nicht f�r einen Monat.

554
00:36:22,293 --> 00:36:25,956
F�r 50$ bekommen Sie preiswerte
Kleidung f�r ein ganzes Leben.

555
00:36:26,030 --> 00:36:27,964
Und die medizinische Versorgung ist
nat�rlich auch preiswerter.

556
00:36:28,032 --> 00:36:32,867
Hinzu kommt, dass die Jugend ohne
Einschr�nkung besch�tigt werden kann.

557
00:36:32,937 --> 00:36:35,428
Der gr��te Vorteil ausgelagerter
Arbeitskr�fte,

558
00:36:35,507 --> 00:36:37,668
entsteht allerdings f�r den Sklaven,

559
00:36:37,742 --> 00:36:42,008
denn in Gabun gibt es keine Notwendigkeit,
den Sklaven in Unfreiheit zu halten.

560
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,479
Das liegt vor allem daran, 

561
00:36:43,548 --> 00:36:46,483
dass es keine einmaligen Sklaventransport-Josten
gibt, die wieder erwirtschaftet werden m�ssen,

562
00:36:46,551 --> 00:36:48,542
und so werden die etwaigen finanziellen
Verluste durch Flucht

563
00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:51,919
auf die Kosten einer rudiment�res Ausbildung
des Sklaven begrenzt.

564
00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:54,049
Da der Sklave frei sein kann,

565
00:36:54,125 --> 00:36:57,617
wird er pl�tzlich zum Arbeiter,
anstatt Sklave zu sein.

566
00:36:57,695 --> 00:37:01,290
Auch ist es sehr gut f�r die Moral,
dass die Sklaven - Arbeiter -

567
00:37:01,366 --> 00:37:03,766
den Luxus haben, in ihrem ur-
spr�nglichen Lebensraum zu bleiben,

568
00:37:03,835 --> 00:37:06,702
und nicht an Orte umziehen
m�ssen, an denen sie Opfer 

569
00:37:06,771 --> 00:37:10,263
von Unannehmlichkeiten wie Heimweh
oder Rassismus werden w�rden.

570
00:37:11,009 --> 00:37:14,172
Ich denke, durch unser kleines
Gedanken-Experiment wird klar, 

571
00:37:14,245 --> 00:37:17,737
dass Norden und S�den es einfach den
Markt h�tten �berlassen sollen.

572
00:37:17,815 --> 00:37:19,612
ohne protektionistische Eingriffe

573
00:37:19,684 --> 00:37:23,745
w�re die Sklaverei auch von allein durch
effizientere Methoden ersetzt worden.

574
00:37:23,821 --> 00:37:25,152
Durch den aufgebauten Handlungsdruck, 

575
00:37:25,223 --> 00:37:29,159
hat der Norden nicht nur die Freiheit des
S�dens in grausamer Weise verletzt,

576
00:37:29,227 --> 00:37:31,161
sondern auch die Sklaverei


577
00:37:31,229 --> 00:37:34,426
ihrer nat�rlichen Entwicklung hin zu
ausgelagerter Arbeit beraubt.

578
00:37:35,833 --> 00:37:38,324
H�tten die F�hrer der Vereinigten
Staaten der 1860er

579
00:37:38,403 --> 00:37:40,963
verstanden, was unsere F�hrer heute
verstehen,

580
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:43,303
dann w�re der B�rgerkrieg nie
passiert.

581
00:37:44,142 --> 00:37:47,009
In einer Welt, in der das Hauptquartier
einer Firma in New York sitzen k�nnte,

582
00:37:47,078 --> 00:37:49,342
oder Hong Kong, oder Espoo in Finland,

583
00:37:49,414 --> 00:37:53,578
und die Arbeiter sind in Gabun,
Rangun oder Estland,

584
00:37:53,651 --> 00:37:56,984
wie beh�lt ein Manager eine
Verbindung mit den Arbeitern,

585
00:37:57,055 --> 00:37:59,216
und wie kann er �ber die Distanz
sicherstellen,

586
00:37:59,290 --> 00:38:02,350
dass die Arbeiter ihre Arbeit
erst nehmen?

587
00:38:03,094 --> 00:38:05,790
Ich zeige Ihnen jetzt einen
echten Prototypen

588
00:38:05,863 --> 00:38:10,323
der L�sung der WTO f�r zwei wichtige
aktuelle Managementprobleme.

589
00:38:10,401 --> 00:38:13,234
Nun wissen wir alle, dass nicht mal
der optimal entworfene Arbeitsplatz

590
00:38:13,304 --> 00:38:16,967
dem wachesten Manager helfen kann, die 
Arbeiter wirklich im Auge zu behalten.

591
00:38:17,041 --> 00:38:22,308
Was sie brauchen, ist eine L�sung, die eine
totale Verbindung mit den Arbeitern erm�glicht,

592
00:38:22,380 --> 00:38:24,871
besonders dann, wenn sie weit entfernt
sind.

593
00:38:26,084 --> 00:38:28,245
Mike, kannst Du mir einen Moment helfen?

594
00:38:50,775 --> 00:38:52,106
Danke.

595
00:38:52,176 --> 00:38:54,906
Das ist viel besser.
Viel komfortabler.

596
00:38:56,414 --> 00:39:00,578
Dies ist die Antwort der WTO auf
zwei der wichtigsten Management-
probleme,

597
00:39:00,652 --> 00:39:03,712
und wir nennen es den Management-
Entspannungs-Anzug.

598
00:39:03,788 --> 00:39:06,120
Es sind wieder die beiden Probleme - 

599
00:39:06,190 --> 00:39:09,023
wie man enge Verbindung mit den 
entfernten Arbeitern h�lt, 

600
00:39:09,093 --> 00:39:13,928
und wie man die Gem�tlichkeit bewahrt
und die entspannenden Aktivit�ten versch�nert.

601
00:39:13,998 --> 00:39:16,831
Wie funktioniert
der Management-Entspannungs-Anzug?

602
00:39:16,901 --> 00:39:20,064
Ich versichere ihnen,
dass er aussergew�hnlich bequem ist.

603
00:39:20,138 --> 00:39:23,904
Nun ja, lassen sie mich seine wichtigsten
Austattungsmerkmale erl�utern.

604
00:39:49,033 --> 00:39:50,625
Dies ...

605
00:39:50,702 --> 00:39:54,103
Dies ist das A.V.A.--

606
00:39:54,172 --> 00:39:58,040
das Mitarbeiter-Visualisierungs-Anh�ngsel.

607
00:39:58,109 --> 00:40:01,476
Es ist ein sofort einsetzbares
H�ft-montiertes Ger�t

608
00:40:01,546 --> 00:40:04,606
komplett freih�ndig steuerbar ...

609
00:40:04,682 --> 00:40:09,016
das dem Manager gestattet,
seine Mitarbeiter genau hier zu beobachten.

610
00:40:09,087 --> 00:40:13,490
Informationen �ber den genauen Umfang
und die Qualit�t der k�rperlichen Arbeit

611
00:40:13,558 --> 00:40:15,651
werden �bertragen
und sind nicht nur einfach sichtbar,

612
00:40:15,727 --> 00:40:21,359
sondern werden durch elektrische Leitungen
direkt in den Manager hineingeschickt.

613
00:40:21,432 --> 00:40:25,766
Die Arbeiter sind daf�r mit
einem passenden Sende-Chip ausgestattet

614
00:40:25,837 --> 00:40:29,637
die direkt in ihre Schulter
implantiert wurden.

615
00:40:29,707 --> 00:40:32,699
Die andere - und ebenso n�tzliche - Errungenschaft
des Management-Entspannungs-Anzugs (MEA)

616
00:40:32,777 --> 00:40:34,438
hat etwas mit der Entspannung zu tun.

617
00:40:34,512 --> 00:40:38,312
In den USA hat sich die Entspannung
(ein Synonym f�r Freiheit)

618
00:40:38,382 --> 00:40:42,284
seit den 70er Jahren
kontinuierlich verringert.

619
00:40:42,353 --> 00:40:45,948
Der Management-Entspannungs-Anzug
gestattet dem Manager diesen Trend umzukehren

620
00:40:46,023 --> 00:40:48,321
indem er seine Arbeit �berall machen kann

621
00:40:48,392 --> 00:40:51,486
und trotzdem den direkten Kontakt
zu seinen Mitarbeitern bewahrt,

622
00:40:51,562 --> 00:40:55,225
und k�rperlich wahrnimmt was seine
Arbeitskr�fte tun.

623
00:40:55,299 --> 00:40:58,234
Dies wird durch Elektroden erm�glicht,
die direkt in den Manager implantiert sind.

624
00:40:58,302 --> 00:41:01,135
Der Manager sieht
also die Mitarbeiter,

625
00:41:01,205 --> 00:41:03,366
und f�hlt au�erdem, was sie f�hlen.

626
00:41:03,441 --> 00:41:07,775
und er kann w�hlen, auf welchen
Arbeitsplatz er sich fokussieren m�chte.

627
00:41:08,679 --> 00:41:11,011
Zusammenfassend

628
00:41:11,082 --> 00:41:14,745
m�chte ich also fragen:
Ist dies ein Science-Fiction-Szenario?

629
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:21,914
Die Antwort ist: nein.

630
00:41:22,927 --> 00:41:25,452
Alles was wir hier gesehen haben,
alles wor�ber wir gesprochen haben.

631
00:41:25,530 --> 00:41:27,020
Ist bereits heute m�glich.

632
00:41:27,832 --> 00:41:31,233
Wir k�nnen den Blick auf die Zukunft richten
auf den rasenden Fortschritt

633
00:41:31,302 --> 00:41:33,361
zu neuen Horizonten

634
00:41:33,437 --> 00:41:37,703
gef�llt mit Kooperation und wechselseitigem Vergn�gen
im Namen des Wohlstands.

635
00:41:37,775 --> 00:41:40,835
Ich bin sehr erfreut, hier zu sein.
Vielen Dank.

636
00:42:07,004 --> 00:42:10,098
[TODO] Something we're trying
to do more and more as...

637
00:42:30,561 --> 00:42:32,620
Ich war nicht schockiert von
der Reaktionslosigkeit der Leute,

638
00:42:32,697 --> 00:42:36,098
Ich war nicht schockiert davon,
dass die Leute alles fraglos hinnahmen

639
00:42:36,167 --> 00:42:40,661
weil ich dachte: "Nun ja, das zeigt nur
dass wir mehr Kontrolle brauchen".

640
00:42:40,738 --> 00:42:44,071
Weil die WTO (also ich)
daherkommen kann

641
00:42:44,141 --> 00:42:48,407
und solch abscheuliche Dinge
dieser Gruppe von hochgebildeten Leuten,

642
00:42:48,479 --> 00:42:52,210
also der 0.1%-Bildungselite
der Welt

643
00:42:52,283 --> 00:42:54,148
in einem fortschrittlichen Land
wie Finnland.

644
00:42:54,218 --> 00:42:56,686
All diese Leute haben
mindestens einen Doktortitel,

645
00:42:56,754 --> 00:42:58,745
aber du kannst ihnen die
furchtbarsten Dinge erz�hlen

646
00:42:58,823 --> 00:43:02,315
und niemand widerspricht
und niemanden k�mmert es.

647
00:43:02,393 --> 00:43:06,921
Es stellt sich die Frage: gibt es etwas,
mit dem Konzerne nicht durchkommen k�nnten?

648
00:43:19,310 --> 00:43:20,641
Wo sind wir also gerade?

649
00:43:20,711 --> 00:43:23,305
Nun ja, wir kommen gerade
in Helsinki an.

650
00:43:24,482 --> 00:43:26,416
Wir haben die Konferenz morgens verlassen.

651
00:43:26,484 --> 00:43:31,478
Nach dem Abendessen wurden wir fast
verr�ckt - wir mussten einfach gehen.

652
00:43:31,555 --> 00:43:33,955
Ich denke, das Abendessen hat uns
wirklich den Rest gegeben.

653
00:43:34,025 --> 00:43:36,084
Ich musste sogar vorzeitig
das Abendessen verlassen.

654
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,494
Ich ging hin�ber zu dem Tisch, an dem Unruh--

655
00:43:40,564 --> 00:43:44,694
Hank Hardy mit den
hohen Tieren sitzen musste.

656
00:43:44,769 --> 00:43:47,101
und ich sagte ihm,
dass wir vorzeitig gehen m�ssten,

657
00:43:47,171 --> 00:43:51,835
Weil wir jetzt eine Telefon-Konferenz
mit Mobutu Oblongatu h�tten.

658
00:43:53,878 --> 00:43:55,209
- Gro�artig.
- Hallo.

659
00:43:55,279 --> 00:43:56,610
Tut mir leid, mich einzumischen,

660
00:43:56,681 --> 00:43:59,013
aber wir sind mit 
Manduka Djubango verabredet ...

661
00:43:59,083 --> 00:44:00,812
- Oh, mein Gott.
- ... um 10.00.

662
00:44:00,885 --> 00:44:02,716
Dann fingen wir beide an zu lachen,

663
00:44:02,787 --> 00:44:05,984
was angesichts des Gespr�chsinhalts
nicht wirklich angemessen wahr.

664
00:44:06,057 --> 00:44:10,016
Also sind wir gegangen,
und wir kamen zu dem Schluss,

665
00:44:10,094 --> 00:44:14,497
dass uns nichts mehr einfiel, was
wir noch auf dieser Konferenz tun k�nnten,

666
00:44:14,565 --> 00:44:18,228
Also dachten wir uns einfach:
"Lasst uns stattdessen nach Helsinki gehen".

667
00:44:19,403 --> 00:44:20,665
[TODO] So, this is the paper.

668
00:44:20,738 --> 00:44:23,070
Auf der Titelseite--
Habe ich entdeckt--

669
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:26,473
dass es eom Seminar
an der Universit�t gegben wird

670
00:44:26,544 --> 00:44:30,878
in dem jemand dar�ber gesprochen hat,
wie sich entfernte Arbeiter

671
00:44:30,948 --> 00:44:34,111
mit elektrischen Impulsen steuern lassen.

672
00:44:34,185 --> 00:44:37,018
Dann bl�tterst du weiter und ...

673
00:44:38,356 --> 00:44:39,846
[TODO] ... und das findest du dann.

674
00:44:39,924 --> 00:44:45,794
Und das hier repr�sentiert
die Welthandelsorganisation.

675
00:44:45,863 --> 00:44:50,891
Das ... <i>ist</i>
die Welthandelsorganisation.

676
00:44:55,106 --> 00:44:59,600
Ich fuhr mitte der 80er Jahre runter
zu diesen mexikanischen Grenzest�dten.

677
00:44:59,677 --> 00:45:01,508
Sie wurden "Maquilladoras" genannt

678
00:45:01,579 --> 00:45:04,173
als die ersten Handelsabkommen

679
00:45:04,248 --> 00:45:06,944
zwischen Mexiko und den USA
in Kraft traten.

680
00:45:07,018 --> 00:45:10,283
Und alle waren der Meinung "Dies wird
Mexiko von der Armut befreien",

681
00:45:10,354 --> 00:45:12,845
und alles wird innerhalb der
n�chsten zehn Jahre so gut laufen,

682
00:45:12,923 --> 00:45:15,517
dass alle Mexikaner mit sch�nen
neuen Autos umherfahren werden.

683
00:45:15,593 --> 00:45:18,528
Also ich fuhr hinunter und sah--

684
00:45:18,596 --> 00:45:22,430
die unglaubliche Armut
in diesen mexikanischen Grenzst�dten.

685
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:26,402
F�nfzehn Jahre sp�ter fuhr ich erneut dorthin.
Und kein bisschen hatte sich ge�ndert.

686
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:29,928
Hier siehst du all diese Arbeiter
die f�r alle m�glichen US-Konzerne arbeiten,

687
00:45:30,007 --> 00:45:32,532
und dann gehst du auf die andere Stra�enseite

688
00:45:32,610 --> 00:45:35,704
und du siehst Leute, die in
den gleichen gr��lichen Bedingungen leben,

689
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:37,771
die Armut ist geblieben.

690
00:45:37,848 --> 00:45:41,579
Und du musst dich fragen:
"Wem hat es gen�tzt?"

691
00:45:41,652 --> 00:45:44,143
Den US-Konzernen hat es gen�tzt.

692
00:45:44,221 --> 00:45:46,712
W�hrend der 80er Jahre
wurden sie sogar noch reicher,

693
00:45:46,791 --> 00:45:49,954
Sie meldeten Rekord-Gewinne--
immer h�here Gewinne,

694
00:45:50,027 --> 00:45:52,757
und die Leute in Mexiko
leiden weiterhin.

695
00:45:52,830 --> 00:45:55,390
Es war ein einziger gro�er Betrug.

696
00:46:12,550 --> 00:46:13,949
Ist das der Richtige?

697
00:46:14,018 --> 00:46:17,419
Nein - das ist der Falsche.

698
00:46:17,488 --> 00:46:18,648
Scheisse.

699
00:46:19,690 --> 00:46:21,681
[TODO] "Wird die WTO dazu Stellung nehmen?"

700
00:46:21,759 --> 00:46:24,751
Oh mein Gott. Da sind Bilder.
Sch�ne Bilder.

701
00:46:24,829 --> 00:46:26,820
Ja, bei dieser Gr��e sehen sie
sogar gut aus.

702
00:46:26,897 --> 00:46:30,560
"Bichlbaum ist nicht ...
Aber im Fernsehen tut er so, als ob."

703
00:46:30,634 --> 00:46:33,034
Das ist grunds�tzlich der Kern dessen,
was wir tun.

704
00:46:33,104 --> 00:46:36,801
All diese Zeitungen und Zeitschriften
habe Artikel

705
00:46:36,874 --> 00:46:38,603
�ber die Yes-Men,

706
00:46:38,676 --> 00:46:42,168
daf�r tun wir diese Dinge.

707
00:46:42,246 --> 00:46:44,237
Deshalb gehen wir zu diesen Konferenzen.

708
00:46:44,315 --> 00:46:46,647
Es geht nicht um diese hundert oder
zweihundert Leute

709
00:46:46,717 --> 00:46:48,878
die unseren Vortrag anh�ren.

710
00:46:48,953 --> 00:46:50,784
Wobei wir uns nat�rlich freuen,

711
00:46:50,855 --> 00:46:53,517
wenn sie den Vortrag mit
interessanten Eindr�cken verlassen.

712
00:46:53,591 --> 00:46:57,994
Der Grund, warum wir das machen, ist,
dass die leute, die <i>bizarre</i> Zeitschriften

713
00:46:58,062 --> 00:47:00,860
oder die <i>New York Times</i>
oder <i>Fortune</i> oder <i>Harper's</i>

714
00:47:00,931 --> 00:47:03,593
lesen, dar�ber in der etablierten
Presse lesen k�nnen.

715
00:47:03,667 --> 00:47:06,192
Dadurch k�nnten Millionen von Menschen
dar�ber lesen

716
00:47:06,270 --> 00:47:11,572
und so m�glicherweise ein paar der
Anti-Globalisierungs-Gedanken aufnehmen.

717
00:47:11,642 --> 00:47:14,805
Eines der Problem mit der <i>Forune</i>-Sache

718
00:47:14,879 --> 00:47:18,610
ist, dass es drin ist--
nun ja - <i>Fortune--</i>

719
00:47:18,682 --> 00:47:22,846
wird von Managern, Beratern und all
diesen Leuten gelesen.

720
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:29,758
Und das sind genau die Leute, zu denen
wir im Mai in Australien sprechen wollten.

721
00:47:29,827 --> 00:47:31,658
Es ist eine Konferenz f�r Wirtschaftsberater.
It's an accounting conference.

722
00:47:31,729 --> 00:47:34,721
Es ist ein wenig ...
ein wenig l�stig.

723
00:47:45,809 --> 00:47:47,743
Sie brauchen ein neues Hemd?
Ein faltenfreies?

724
00:47:47,811 --> 00:47:48,800
Ja.

725
00:47:48,879 --> 00:47:50,710
W�rde das gut passen?

726
00:47:51,382 --> 00:47:53,213
Denken Sie, dass es zu
ihrem Anzug passen w�rde?

727
00:47:53,284 --> 00:47:56,776
Dies hier ist eine �bergr��e. Ja - sie
werden zu meinem Anzug passen. Es ist furchtbar.

728
00:47:56,854 --> 00:47:59,186
- Es ist aber gestreift. Ist das in Ordnung?
- Ja.

729
00:48:00,157 --> 00:48:02,489
- Sicher, es ist in Ordnung.
- Warum nehmen Sie dann nicht ein Hemd?

730
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,893
Ich werde einfach das hier nehmen. Warte!
Oh - es ist nicht besonders viel Wolle drin.

731
00:48:05,963 --> 00:48:07,624
- Wieviel ist enthalten?
- Ich hasse es!

732
00:48:07,698 --> 00:48:10,360
- 35%?
- Es sind 35%. Das ist soviel wie ...

733
00:48:10,434 --> 00:48:11,526
Nein - es ist gut f�r--

734
00:48:11,602 --> 00:48:13,536
Es bekommt kaum Falten--
das ist das nette daran.

735
00:48:13,604 --> 00:48:16,164
Ich werde es einfach anziehen.
In Ordnung.

736
00:48:22,846 --> 00:48:25,508
Das Problem ist:
da ist die Frage, ob er--

737
00:48:25,583 --> 00:48:28,313
[TODO] an diesem Punkt merkt er,
dass du v�llig unwichtig bist.

738
00:48:28,385 --> 00:48:31,877
Worum es uns geht, ist der Moment,
in dem er dich erkennt.

739
00:48:31,956 --> 00:48:34,948
[TODO] So if he recognizes you here
and sees that you're in the room,

740
00:48:35,025 --> 00:48:38,290
[TODO] then he'll be looking back and forth
at you, at the screen.

741
00:48:38,362 --> 00:48:41,695
Sobald er dich erkennt,
sollten wir besser etwas sagen.

742
00:48:45,536 --> 00:48:47,868
No, I think it's down here,
but I don't know.

743
00:48:50,140 --> 00:48:51,801
It must be right down Morris.

744
00:48:51,875 --> 00:48:53,035
Remember we walked...

745
00:48:53,110 --> 00:48:55,442
It's on the end of this line here.

746
00:49:11,228 --> 00:49:12,286
Thanks.

747
00:49:15,666 --> 00:49:18,260
- Andy, hi. How're you doing?
- Barry. Nice to meet you.

748
00:49:18,335 --> 00:49:20,963
- Good to meet you.
- Good. Great.

749
00:49:21,038 --> 00:49:22,198
We're in London,

750
00:49:22,273 --> 00:49:26,266
and we were just at the offices
of the World Development Movement

751
00:49:26,343 --> 00:49:27,833
where we talked to Barry Coates,

752
00:49:27,911 --> 00:49:30,072
who's the director
of the World Development Movement

753
00:49:30,147 --> 00:49:34,140
and who showed up
on CNBC MarketWrap Europe

754
00:49:34,218 --> 00:49:37,881
debating our friend here--
Granwyth Hulatberi--

755
00:49:37,955 --> 00:49:42,289
about the prospects of WTO
and globalization.

756
00:49:42,359 --> 00:49:46,022
We kind of expected him maybe to have
a glimmer of recognition immediately,

757
00:49:46,096 --> 00:49:47,358
and he didn't--okay.

758
00:49:47,431 --> 00:49:50,025
Then we put on the tape and...

759
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:54,264
he laughed
at how horribly stupid it was,

760
00:49:54,338 --> 00:49:55,999
but he never realized

761
00:49:56,073 --> 00:49:59,406
that this wasn't really
a representative of the WTO.

762
00:49:59,476 --> 00:50:02,070
Even when he saw me
like this right next to him,

763
00:50:02,146 --> 00:50:05,172
and then we switched seats
and he still didn't notice.

764
00:50:05,249 --> 00:50:08,707
Then I had to put my face
next to the thing and go...

765
00:50:08,786 --> 00:50:10,913
Yeah, let's just pause it here.

766
00:50:10,988 --> 00:50:13,149
- Okay. Hit stop.
- Is there a pause?

767
00:50:13,223 --> 00:50:15,054
- Stop button.
- There's no pause.

768
00:50:15,125 --> 00:50:18,754
I don't know what I could've said
after that clip.

769
00:50:18,829 --> 00:50:20,558
I mean...really...

770
00:50:21,965 --> 00:50:26,129
"Where did they get this guy from?"
might've been my first comment.

771
00:50:26,203 --> 00:50:28,865
So did you ever figure out
where they got the guy from?

772
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:36,136
I understood that he was in the External
Relations Department for the WTO.

773
00:50:36,213 --> 00:50:39,080
- That's what they thought, too.
- That's what they thought, as well.

774
00:50:39,783 --> 00:50:40,943
- But...
- But...

775
00:50:41,018 --> 00:50:44,010
- ...as it happens, he wasn't.
- Yeah.

776
00:50:44,088 --> 00:50:47,057
- In fact--
- Just take one more close look.

777
00:50:48,659 --> 00:50:50,854
Wait, can we--is this reverse?

778
00:50:54,398 --> 00:50:55,888
No!

779
00:50:59,269 --> 00:51:01,533
I wasn't gonna mention the likeness.

780
00:51:02,573 --> 00:51:05,565
You were being very polite,
weren't you? Yeah.

781
00:51:06,577 --> 00:51:08,238
- Yeah.
- You did it as a spoof?

782
00:51:08,379 --> 00:51:10,108
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Basically...

783
00:51:12,483 --> 00:51:14,644
That's good. We weren't sure
how you would react.

784
00:51:14,718 --> 00:51:18,313
We were really hoping you wouldn't be
too offended. We were like, "Oh, no!"

785
00:51:18,389 --> 00:51:20,721
Hell, no. That's great.
That's really--

786
00:51:20,791 --> 00:51:23,624
I was wondering,
'cause I hadn't seen that guy before,

787
00:51:23,694 --> 00:51:27,095
and I did know some of the WTO
External Relations people,

788
00:51:27,164 --> 00:51:31,260
and I was thinking, "My God,
they really put up a right one this time."

789
00:51:31,335 --> 00:51:33,997
We wanted to talk
to Barry Coates as well

790
00:51:34,071 --> 00:51:39,008
because he has a lot of statistics
and information about globalization

791
00:51:39,076 --> 00:51:42,443
that we thought would be useful
for the lecture in Australia.

792
00:51:42,513 --> 00:51:45,004
All of the WTO agreements bar one

793
00:51:45,082 --> 00:51:48,347
are all about restricting
what governments can do.

794
00:51:48,419 --> 00:51:53,015
And so, essentially, the whole
trading system is built on the premise

795
00:51:53,090 --> 00:51:58,255
that the companies trading internationally,
investing internationally,

796
00:51:58,328 --> 00:52:03,322
are going to be preyed upon
by nasty governments.

797
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,732
And, really, what we have

798
00:52:05,803 --> 00:52:08,738
is an international system
that is entirely the reverse.

799
00:52:08,806 --> 00:52:11,001
Was aus dem System heraus kommen sollte

800
00:52:11,074 --> 00:52:14,066
ist Demokratie,
ist Entwicklung, ist Umwelt,

801
00:52:14,144 --> 00:52:17,136
ist die Art menschlicher Werte

802
00:52:17,214 --> 00:52:20,650
welche eigentlich im Zentrum unserer 
Bem�hungen stehen sollten.

803
00:52:20,717 --> 00:52:24,209
Wir leben nicht f�r den Handel.

804
00:52:24,288 --> 00:52:27,121
Wir sollten ein angenehmes Leben suchen.

805
00:52:27,191 --> 00:52:29,682
Und das muss das Ziel
unserer Handelspolitik sein,

806
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,788
nicht die Maximierung des Handels.


807
00:53:00,224 --> 00:53:02,351
Sieht gut aus.
Das hab ich.

808
00:53:03,060 --> 00:53:04,721
Brauch noch das Video

809
00:53:05,596 --> 00:53:08,929
dann haben wir alles.


810
00:53:08,999 --> 00:53:10,432
Mal sehen...

811
00:53:13,237 --> 00:53:16,070
Einer der wichtigen Gr�nde,
warum ich hier bin

812
00:53:16,139 --> 00:53:20,098
ist der Australien Auftritt
der Yes Men.

813
00:53:20,177 --> 00:53:24,170
Ich hab eine Animation �ber
Recycling von Postkonsumm�ll 

814
00:53:24,248 --> 00:53:27,979
in Hamburger und Fast Food gemacht.

815
00:53:28,051 --> 00:53:30,281
So sieht's aus.

816
00:53:30,921 --> 00:53:34,516
Die L�sung zur nachhaltigen Nahrungsversorgung
liegt im Recycling.

817
00:53:35,826 --> 00:53:38,420
Weil wir �ber die H�lfte der N�hrstoffe,
die wir aufnehmen wieder ausscheiden,

818
00:53:38,495 --> 00:53:39,894
vergeuden wir wertvolle Ressourcen.

819
00:53:39,963 --> 00:53:43,364
reBurger nutzt Postkonsumm�ll
um wertvolle, essenzielle N�hrstoffe

820
00:53:43,433 --> 00:53:46,732
den Entwicklungsl�ndern anzubieten,
zu drastich reduzierten Kosten.

821
00:53:48,038 --> 00:53:49,699
Okay...

822
00:53:54,411 --> 00:53:56,072
Es wird besser.

823
00:53:57,314 --> 00:53:58,576
- Warte.
- Was war das?

824
00:53:58,649 --> 00:54:01,140
- War das im Weltall?
- Was verdammt war das?

825
00:54:01,785 --> 00:54:04,720
Ich denke es erf�llt seinen Zweck.
Ich denke es erf�llt seinen Zweck.

826
00:54:07,624 --> 00:54:11,617
Wir sind hier in New York
weil Herb Alpert,

827
00:54:11,695 --> 00:54:14,687
von "Herb Alpert 
and the Tijuana Brass"

828
00:54:14,765 --> 00:54:16,926
uns diesen Preis gaben,

829
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,664
einen Haufen Geld, um das zu tun
was wir tun

830
00:54:21,738 --> 00:54:24,229
Deswegen kamen wir her
und werden mit ihm essen.

831
00:54:24,308 --> 00:54:26,970
und das Geld entgegen zu nehmen
und jedem Danke zu sagen.

832
00:54:27,044 --> 00:54:29,877
Das war recht nett
und aufregend.

833
00:54:29,947 --> 00:54:33,280
Also wir sind sehr erfreut.
Ich denke das k�nnen wir sagen.

834
00:54:34,184 --> 00:54:35,845
Es war ein gro�er Haufen Geld.

835
00:54:35,919 --> 00:54:39,753
Das wird unsere zuk�nftigen Aktivit�ten
finanzieren, z.B. den Trip nach Australien.

836
00:54:40,958 --> 00:54:42,949
Yeah, also bekamen wir dieses Geld aber,

837
00:54:43,026 --> 00:54:45,358
nat�rlich, jetzt da wir hier sind,
nutzen wir die M�glichkeit

838
00:54:45,429 --> 00:54:48,091
und dieses Hotelzimmer in New York
um Matt zu treffen,

839
00:54:48,165 --> 00:54:51,157
der an der PowerPoint Presentation
f�r Australien arbeitete.

840
00:54:51,234 --> 00:54:52,826
und ebenso Patrick

841
00:54:52,903 --> 00:54:56,498
der auch an Animation
f�r Asutralien bastelte

842
00:54:56,573 --> 00:55:00,703
Wir haben auch gro�es Gl�ck,
denn Snafu ist hier in der Stadt.

843
00:55:00,777 --> 00:55:03,507
Er ist quasi Europ�ischer Yes Men.

844
00:55:03,580 --> 00:55:05,673
Er zirkulierte in der europ�ischen Szene,

845
00:55:05,749 --> 00:55:08,240
mit seinen Aktionen.

846
00:55:08,318 --> 00:55:11,253
Aber es ist gut, dass er
hier in den USA ist.

847
00:55:11,321 --> 00:55:13,653
so konnte er mit uns
zu Plattburgh gehen.

848
00:55:13,724 --> 00:55:16,215
Ja, die Liberalisierung des Handels
ist eine religi�se Unternehmung.

849
00:55:16,293 --> 00:55:18,853
Ein Projekt des Glaubens, 
ein weiter Kreuzzug und es ist

850
00:55:18,929 --> 00:55:22,296
seit seine Begr�nder erkl�rten,
das finanzieller Erfolg von gott kommt.

851
00:55:22,366 --> 00:55:25,358
und dass Wohlstand ein Zeichen
g�ttlichen Wohlwollens ist.

852
00:55:25,435 --> 00:55:29,667
Warum ist Hunger ein Problem?
Nun, zuerst die Fakten.

853
00:55:29,740 --> 00:55:32,834
Wie wir alle wissen, wachsen
die Investitionen und Exporte..

854
00:55:35,646 --> 00:55:37,307
Es gibt schlechte Neuigkeiten.

855
00:55:37,381 --> 00:55:40,646
Einige wirklich schlechte Neuigkeiten,
der letzten zwei Tage.

856
00:55:41,652 --> 00:55:43,984
Die Konferenz in Australien -- 

857
00:55:44,054 --> 00:55:46,716
Die Leute von der Konferenz
in Australien schrieben eine Mail.

858
00:55:46,790 --> 00:55:51,454
Sie schrieben, die Konferenz wurde abgesagt,
wegen geringer Nachfrage.

859
00:55:51,528 --> 00:55:54,190
Irgendwie ist es denk ich
ganz gut,

860
00:55:54,264 --> 00:55:56,596
dass sie abgesagt wurde.

861
00:55:56,667 --> 00:55:58,828
Weil, es war wirklich eine
abscheuliche Konferenz.

862
00:55:58,902 --> 00:56:00,961
Und es schien eine entsetzliche
Sache zu sein,

863
00:56:01,038 --> 00:56:03,871
dass Menschen zu so etwas gehen w�rden.

864
00:56:03,940 --> 00:56:06,272
Es ist wirklich ermutigend 
f�r die Menschheit,

865
00:56:06,343 --> 00:56:08,743
dass die Konferenz abgesagt wurde.

866
00:56:08,812 --> 00:56:12,839
Andererseites, macht es und die
Sache schwierig.

867
00:56:12,916 --> 00:56:14,907
Ich schrieb als Hildegard West
zur�ck

868
00:56:14,985 --> 00:56:18,648
und fragte ob sie einen anderen
Tagungsort vorbereiten k�nnten.

869
00:56:18,722 --> 00:56:22,317
weil Kinnithrung Sprat ist schon
auf seiner Tour nach Australien.

870
00:56:22,392 --> 00:56:25,793
Jetzt warte ich also, dass sie
sich melden.

871
00:56:25,862 --> 00:56:29,696
und einen Vorschlag f�r eine
�ffentliche Presentation machen.

872
00:56:29,766 --> 00:56:32,496
Weil die Konferenz abgesagt wurde,
k�nnte der Event in Plattsburgh 

873
00:56:32,569 --> 00:56:38,098
unsere einzige Tagung werden, 
f�r unseren Vortrag werden.

874
00:56:38,175 --> 00:56:41,611
Es ist also wirklich wichtig, dass wir
jetzt alles zusammen und fertig bekommen.

875
00:56:41,678 --> 00:56:48,413
Es ist nun keine Generalprobe mehr.
Es ist die endg�ltige Produktion.

876
00:56:49,986 --> 00:56:51,317
Es wird Zeit.

877
00:56:51,388 --> 00:56:53,481
Ich war so besorgt �ber deine Schuhe.

878
00:56:53,557 --> 00:56:56,355
Dieser Bursche hat dir ein Paar
richtige Schuhe gekauft. Sieh!

879
00:56:56,426 --> 00:56:58,257
Haben wir schon die Hamburger?

880
00:56:59,062 --> 00:57:01,121
- Wir m�ssen sie noch abholen.
- Du meintest --

881
00:57:01,198 --> 00:57:03,530
sie seinen bestellt.
Richard hat sie schon bestellt.

882
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,431
- Das ist fantastisch.
- Wir holen sie ab?

883
00:57:05,502 --> 00:57:08,562
Da ist dieser Richard Robbins,
den ich traf

884
00:57:08,638 --> 00:57:10,629
auf einer Konferenz
etwa vor einem Monat.

885
00:57:10,707 --> 00:57:15,508
er hat einige B�cher zum Thema
Globalisierung geschrieben.

886
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:18,843
Er war interessiert daran,
die WTO zu einer Rede

887
00:57:18,915 --> 00:57:21,315
ins Wirtschaftsministerium
einzuladen.

888
00:57:21,384 --> 00:57:24,785
Er ist der einzige der wusste,
das wir nicht von der WTO sind.

889
00:57:24,855 --> 00:57:27,119
JedeR sonst wird denken,
wir w�ren von der WTO.

890
00:57:27,741 --> 00:57:30,437
Aber eine andere gute Sache ist,
dass wir ein hungriges Publikum haben werden.

891
00:57:30,511 --> 00:57:33,503
Also werden bestimmt einige,
unsere Hamburger essen.

892
00:57:33,580 --> 00:57:35,741
Da waren wir uns bei den 
australischen Wirtschaftsberatern

893
00:57:35,816 --> 00:57:38,148
nicht so sicher.

894
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,513
Es w�re besser, wenn ich sie reintrage.

895
00:57:43,590 --> 00:57:45,581
Okay. Machst du es?

896
00:57:45,659 --> 00:57:49,493
Ja, ich denke du solltest nicht mit
den hamburgern in Verbindung gebracht werden.

897
00:57:49,563 --> 00:57:50,825
Okay.

898
00:57:50,898 --> 00:57:53,298
Ich m�chte Ihnen f�r Ihr Erscheinen danken.

899
00:57:53,367 --> 00:57:59,033
Sie haben viele M�glichkeiten
und wir sind dankbar bei der WTO,

900
00:57:59,106 --> 00:58:02,075
dass Sie uns f�r eine Stunde 
zuh�ren m�chten.

901
00:58:02,142 --> 00:58:05,475
Und unseren Nachrichten �ber Dinge, 
die uns alle betreffen.

902
00:58:05,546 --> 00:58:07,878
Ich m�chte betonen, dass
indem sie hier teilnehmen.

903
00:58:07,948 --> 00:58:11,008
befinden sie sich auf einer Mission
mit uns.

904
00:58:12,052 --> 00:58:14,646
Ich m�chte gleich am Anfang klarstellen.

905
00:58:14,722 --> 00:58:16,383
Wie ich sagte,

906
00:58:16,457 --> 00:58:20,518
die Liberalisierung des Handels ist 
ein Projekt des Glaubens, ein Kreuzzug.

907
00:58:20,594 --> 00:58:22,653
Auf jedem Kreuzzug 
gibt es Probleme.

908
00:58:22,730 --> 00:58:25,392
Es gibt eindringende Armeen,
gr��ere Blockaden.

909
00:58:25,466 --> 00:58:30,301
Und eins der Probleme, in das
wir auf unserem Kreuzzug kamen.

910
00:58:30,370 --> 00:58:32,065
ist Hunger in der Dritten Welt.

911
00:58:32,139 --> 00:58:35,472
Sie haben sicher das gr�ne 
Symbol erkannt von den Kisten,

912
00:58:35,542 --> 00:58:37,737
Dosen, Flaschen, blah, blah.

913
00:58:37,811 --> 00:58:41,645
Die Art von Recycling, die wir
von der WTO entwickelt haben.

914
00:58:41,715 --> 00:58:46,778
ist...nicht -- nicht wirklich
dieses unn�tze Recycling.

915
00:58:46,854 --> 00:58:50,017
Bei dem das Ziel -- individuelle 
Konsumenten, wie sie und ich

916
00:58:50,090 --> 00:58:55,585
oder nichtessbare Industrieprodukte --
sind ein winziger Teil des Problems.

917
00:58:55,662 --> 00:59:00,861
Wir sprechen �ber Recycling, das 
wirklich etwas bedeutet.

918
00:59:00,934 --> 00:59:03,095
Um das zu verstehen, ein wenig
zugrunde liegende Theorie.

919
00:59:03,170 --> 00:59:06,867
Sie m�ssen wissen, dass der menschliche
K�rper nicht gerade sehr effizient ist.

920
00:59:06,940 --> 00:59:11,434
Nur 20% der N�hrstoffe aus dem Essen

921
00:59:11,512 --> 00:59:14,276
werden bei der Verdauung aufgenommen.

922
00:59:14,348 --> 00:59:18,341
Die anderen 80% finden sich in
postkonsumentalen Nebenprodukten.

923
00:59:18,418 --> 00:59:19,908
Schon vor 20 Jahren,

924
00:59:19,987 --> 00:59:23,821
begannen NASA Wissenschaftler,
diese N�hrstoffgoldmine zu nutzen,

925
00:59:23,891 --> 00:59:27,383
mit Filtern, die den Astronautenabfall
wieder umwandeln konnten

926
00:59:27,461 --> 00:59:31,591
in gesundes, hygienisches und sogar
k�stliches Essen.

927
00:59:31,665 --> 00:59:33,326
Mit dieser Technologie

928
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:37,393
ein einfacher Hamburger z.B.,
kann mehr als zehnmal gegessen werden.

929
00:59:37,471 --> 00:59:42,374
Das ergibt zusammengerechnet,
mehr als dreimal soviel N�hrstoffe 

930
00:59:42,442 --> 00:59:44,603
im Vergleich zum Original Hamburger.

931
00:59:44,678 --> 00:59:48,478
Wiedereinmal ist eine gewisse
kulturelle Offenheit gefordert.

932
00:59:48,549 --> 00:59:51,382
wenn wir nach neuen L�sungen forschen.

933
00:59:51,451 --> 00:59:53,476
Ich w�rde gerne ein paar Fragen beantworten.

934
00:59:53,554 --> 00:59:54,612
Ja, sie waren --

935
00:59:54,688 --> 00:59:56,519
Aus einem Dritte Welt Land kommend,

936
00:59:56,590 --> 01:00:00,424
finde ich das meiste was sie sagen
sehr offensiv.

937
01:00:00,494 --> 01:00:05,329
Es ist als w�ren alle gleich, aber
einige sind gleicher als andere.

938
01:00:05,399 --> 01:00:07,390
Und...wer hat das Recht zu sagen,

939
01:00:07,467 --> 01:00:10,664
dass Menschen in der Dritten Welt 
ein Burger wollen?

940
01:00:10,737 --> 01:00:13,900
Ja, wissen Sie in meinem Herzen
denke ich manchmal

941
01:00:13,974 --> 01:00:17,637
dass Kulturen gleiche Umst�nde
verdienen

942
01:00:17,711 --> 01:00:19,645
vielleicht sogar zu ihren eigenen
Bedingungen,

943
01:00:19,713 --> 01:00:21,044
aber wir sind verschieden.

944
01:00:21,114 --> 01:00:23,776
Wir sind kulturell verschieden.
Wir sind reich, sie sind arm.

945
01:00:23,851 --> 01:00:26,319
Das ist die menschlichste L�sung,
die wir haben und

946
01:00:26,386 --> 01:00:28,081
welche die Logik des Marktes erf�llt.

947
01:00:28,155 --> 01:00:31,818
Wenn es recht ist, w�rde ich gerne
einen Teil dieser Frage beantworten.

948
01:00:31,892 --> 01:00:35,919
Das beantwortet die Frage
des Verlangens nach einem Produkt.

949
01:00:35,996 --> 01:00:39,329
Die gr��ten Wachstumsgebiete
sind die Entwicklungsl�nder.

950
01:00:39,399 --> 01:00:43,392
Menschen wollen solch ein Produkt.
Das ist gesichert.

951
01:00:43,470 --> 01:00:48,635
Wir haben eine Videopr�sentation
dar�ber vorbereitet.

952
01:00:48,709 --> 01:00:53,339
Sie ist nicht -- das Programm ist
nocht nicht komplett fertig.

953
01:00:55,549 --> 01:01:00,953
Wie sie hier sehen k�nnen,
gibt es eine Konsumentin in der 1.Welt.

954
01:01:01,021 --> 01:01:04,684
die zu McDonald's geht
und einen Hamburger erwirbt.

955
01:01:06,393 --> 01:01:11,023
Und danach, das ist ein Prozess, den
wir alle kennen.

956
01:01:11,098 --> 01:01:13,225
Das brauche ich nicht zu erkl�ren.

957
01:01:15,269 --> 01:01:17,430
Aber...

958
01:01:17,504 --> 01:01:20,029
Es wurde hier gerendert,

959
01:01:20,107 --> 01:01:24,476
weil Studien gezeigt haben, dass
3D Animationen bei den Konsumenten

960
01:01:24,544 --> 01:01:28,640
gerade sehr beliebt sind,
besonders ind Entwicklungsl�ndern.

961
01:01:30,117 --> 01:01:32,779
So, wie sie hier sehen k�nnen.
Es geht durch ein Rohrsystem,

962
01:01:32,853 --> 01:01:34,514
und das ist nicht ungew�hnlich

963
01:01:34,588 --> 01:01:38,080
Das machen wir mit �l.
Wir k�nnen das auch mit Nahrung machen.

964
01:01:38,158 --> 01:01:42,288
Und wie sie sehen, geht es
wieder hoch durch die Rohre.

965
01:01:42,362 --> 01:01:45,354
und erschein in einem McDonald's.

966
01:01:45,432 --> 01:01:49,095
Nun, der Teil des Videos, der noch
nicht fertig ist, ist die Filtration.

967
01:01:49,169 --> 01:01:53,663
Es wird einen sehr gut animierten
Filter Prozess im Viedoe geben.

968
01:02:04,518 --> 01:02:08,079
Wie sie sehen -- das wird einige
ihrer Fragen beantowrten.

969
01:02:08,155 --> 01:02:10,715
im McDonald's eines
Entwicklungslandes

970
01:02:10,791 --> 01:02:12,782
und auch in diesem Land hier,

971
01:02:12,859 --> 01:02:15,350
werden sie die M�glichkeit haben,
zu w�hlen -- nummer eins, nummer zwei,

972
01:02:15,429 --> 01:02:17,294
nummer drei,
nummer vier, nummer f�nf

973
01:02:17,364 --> 01:02:19,992
w�re kein Nahrungskombination mehr,

974
01:02:20,067 --> 01:02:23,628
sondern die Anzahl der bisherigen
Recyclingdurchl�ufe.

975
01:02:25,472 --> 01:02:29,067
Wir sind froh, mit der WTO
zusammen arbeiten zu k�nnen.

976
01:02:29,142 --> 01:02:31,042
Obwohl sie etwas andere 
Ziele verfolgt.

977
01:02:31,111 --> 01:02:34,103
Nat�rlich, McDonalds Ziele
sind Profit und Wachstum,

978
01:02:34,181 --> 01:02:35,842
und wir hoffen, das wir ein

979
01:02:35,916 --> 01:02:38,407
nahrhaftes und wohlschmeckendes
Produkt erstellen k�nnen.

980
01:02:38,485 --> 01:02:42,649
Unsere Ziele sind McDonalds und anderen
Firmen bei Profit und Wchstum zu helfen.

981
01:02:42,723 --> 01:02:45,556
Ich denke ihr Typen --
die WTO --

982
01:02:45,625 --> 01:02:49,686
ihnen fehlt es an etwas
menschlichem, wissen sie?

983
01:02:49,763 --> 01:02:55,633
Wie... wenn sie w�ssten --
haben sie jemals hungernde Menschen gesehen?

984
01:02:55,702 --> 01:02:57,533
Auf Bildern. Ja.

985
01:02:58,405 --> 01:03:01,465
Sagen Sie mir, wenn sie 
verhungernde Menschen sehen w�rden,

986
01:03:01,541 --> 01:03:03,702
w�rden sie wohl mehr nachdenken --

987
01:03:03,777 --> 01:03:08,976
das w�rde sie an einer empfindlichen
stelle treffen.

988
01:03:09,049 --> 01:03:13,884
"Oh, vielleicht bedeuten M�rkte
und Geld nicht so viel,

989
01:03:13,954 --> 01:03:16,946
und Menschen ern�hren, bedeutet
sicherlich mehr."

990
01:03:17,024 --> 01:03:19,959
Nun, es ist wahr, dass es da eine
pers�nliche Sichtweise gibt --

991
01:03:20,027 --> 01:03:22,188
Ich muss sagen, in der WTO

992
01:03:22,262 --> 01:03:25,925
gibt es Fragen, die wir uns als 
als menschliche Wesen stellen.

993
01:03:25,999 --> 01:03:28,797
aber wir sind kein Subjekt.
994
01:03:28,869 --> 01:03:30,860
wir haben ein Art standhafte
Auffassung von der Theorie.

995
01:03:30,937 --> 01:03:33,770
Wir sind in der Lage,
gl�cklicherweise,

996
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,674
den Welthandel in einer 
theoretischeren Sicht zu betrachten

997
01:03:37,744 --> 01:03:41,407
in Zusammenarbeit mit unseren
Kollegen aus den gr��ten Unternehmen.

998
01:03:41,481 --> 01:03:47,317
So...sie wissen schon. Ja, wahrscheinlich,
wenn ich in solchen L�ndern w�re.

999
01:03:47,387 --> 01:03:53,121
W�rde ich f�hlen...ich w�rde wohl
etwas anders denken, vielleicht.

1000
01:03:53,193 --> 01:03:56,685
Aber zum gleichen Zeitpunkt, w�rde
ich nicht meine Ausbildung vergessen.

1001
01:03:56,763 --> 01:03:59,596
Ich denke ich w�rde nicht die ganzen
Theorien vergessen und so.

1002
01:03:59,666 --> 01:04:02,999
Vielleicht, tue ich es eines Tages.

1003
01:04:03,070 --> 01:04:05,368
Das ist ein Gewinnbringer, korrekt?

1004
01:04:05,439 --> 01:04:09,307
Ja. Nun, es ist ein gewinnbringender
Hungerl�ser, sicher.

1005
01:04:09,376 --> 01:04:12,812
Wieviel zahlt ihnen McDonald's, daf�r
dass sie hier diesen M�ll erz�hlen?

1006
01:04:12,879 --> 01:04:15,973
Did I see a mouse with an ear
growing out of its back?

1007
01:04:16,049 --> 01:04:19,382
How are you going to get around
the cultural and legal implications

1008
01:04:19,453 --> 01:04:22,354
of cannibalism and basically
asking us to recycle shit?

1009
01:04:51,151 --> 01:04:55,178
The reality is that we already
treat people in the Third World

1010
01:04:55,255 --> 01:04:57,723
far worse than we treat
our domestic animals.

1011
01:04:57,791 --> 01:05:02,125
That's--that's not saying it's right.
It's just saying that's the reality.

1012
01:05:10,570 --> 01:05:12,902
Well, after thinking about it
for a little while,

1013
01:05:12,973 --> 01:05:16,306
it seems the Plattsburgh lecture
just went great,

1014
01:05:16,376 --> 01:05:20,210
and it went exactly the way we
originally expected these lectures to work,

1015
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,545
which is that, at a certain point,
it was like a light bulb's going off

1016
01:05:23,617 --> 01:05:26,017
in the heads of the different people
in the audience,

1017
01:05:26,086 --> 01:05:29,681
and they were realizing that it
was just too crazy to be real,

1018
01:05:29,756 --> 01:05:31,917
and yet it was
sort of based in reality.

1019
01:05:31,992 --> 01:05:35,428
So, you know,
they started throwing globes at us,

1020
01:05:35,495 --> 01:05:37,759
they got angry,
they got frustrated.

1021
01:05:37,831 --> 01:05:40,095
It worked exactly
like we thought it would.

1022
01:05:43,837 --> 01:05:45,270
They don't ask if you believe in it.

1023
01:05:45,338 --> 01:05:48,432
You don't get to vote
on World Trade Organization treaties.

1024
01:05:48,508 --> 01:05:51,102
They don't let you vote on it.
They don't give you a say.

1025
01:05:51,178 --> 01:05:54,079
They let you listen
to the one-sided propaganda.

1026
01:05:54,147 --> 01:05:57,639
Name me a single columnist in America
who doesn't stand up and cheer

1027
01:05:57,717 --> 01:05:59,878
under the banner
of so-called free trade.

1028
01:05:59,953 --> 01:06:01,511
There's no public discussion,

1029
01:06:01,588 --> 01:06:05,422
there's no dissent
in any of the political parties.

1030
01:06:05,492 --> 01:06:08,655
There's no debate,
there's no discussion, there's no vote.

1031
01:06:08,728 --> 01:06:13,665
In fact, the only nation
which has called for a vote is Brazil,

1032
01:06:13,733 --> 01:06:18,397
which is saying that it
will not sign any more trade treaties

1033
01:06:18,471 --> 01:06:20,598
without a plebiscite of its people.

1034
01:06:20,674 --> 01:06:24,337
And the world trade barons
are losing their damn minds

1035
01:06:24,411 --> 01:06:29,246
trying to prevent this type of democracy
from spreading planet-wide,

1036
01:06:29,316 --> 01:06:32,979
'cause once people know what this stuff
is about and get to vote on it,

1037
01:06:33,053 --> 01:06:35,783
no one's gonna vote themselves
into poverty.

1038
01:06:39,826 --> 01:06:42,488
Here we go.
"Australia country code."

1039
01:06:45,332 --> 01:06:47,129
Australia, 61.
It's 61.

1040
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:48,360
Sixty-one.

1041
01:06:53,473 --> 01:06:57,466
Hi, this is Kinnithrung Sprat
from the WTO.

1042
01:06:57,544 --> 01:07:00,206
- <i>Hello. how are you?</i>
- Good, thanks. How are you?

1043
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,443
<i>- Where are you now?</i>
- I'm in New York at the moment.

1044
01:07:03,516 --> 01:07:05,677
<i>- In New York, are you?</i>
- Yes.

1045
01:07:05,752 --> 01:07:11,156
Kinnithrung Sprat just called the person
who's coordinating Sprat's visit.

1046
01:07:11,224 --> 01:07:15,160
I'm due in Hong Kong
the week after this,

1047
01:07:15,228 --> 01:07:17,219
and that date is firm,

1048
01:07:17,297 --> 01:07:22,030
but my travel to Australia
is as yet not firm. Yeah.

1049
01:07:22,102 --> 01:07:25,265
She's actually, it turns out,
been e-mailing all these people

1050
01:07:25,338 --> 01:07:27,670
and basically calling journalists

1051
01:07:27,741 --> 01:07:29,936
and getting people
to attend his lecture.

1052
01:07:30,010 --> 01:07:34,174
She fully expects him to attend because
she had spoken to Hildegard West,

1053
01:07:34,247 --> 01:07:37,375
Sprat's assistant,
and Hildegard West had told her

1054
01:07:37,450 --> 01:07:40,510
that everything was on
and Sprat was definitely going.

1055
01:07:40,587 --> 01:07:43,078
So now we've just decided
we really have to go

1056
01:07:43,156 --> 01:07:46,592
to honor this arrangement
with Australia.

1057
01:07:46,660 --> 01:07:49,652
So it's back on now
after we totally thought it was off.

1058
01:07:49,729 --> 01:07:53,790
And instead of giving this lecture that
we've been planning for, like, nine months,

1059
01:07:53,867 --> 01:07:57,803
we're gonna, like, you know,
just disband the WTO.

1060
01:08:00,340 --> 01:08:03,503
Shouldn't we get you a pair of shoes
that actually are reasonable?

1061
01:08:03,576 --> 01:08:06,909
They just don't look like dress shoes.
They look like wrestling shoes.

1062
01:08:06,980 --> 01:08:09,414
There are no shoes here
for you. Never mind.

1063
01:08:09,482 --> 01:08:11,450
No. Shoes are out.

1064
01:08:11,518 --> 01:08:12,507
A tie.

1065
01:08:13,653 --> 01:08:14,915
Around, then...

1066
01:08:17,090 --> 01:08:18,580
Wait--did you try this?

1067
01:08:20,193 --> 01:08:21,455
Yeah.

1068
01:08:23,463 --> 01:08:27,627
I did a set of these with inkjet,
and they just don't look as real.

1069
01:08:27,701 --> 01:08:29,635
Something about them.
They look...

1070
01:08:29,703 --> 01:08:31,637
- These look perfect.
- ...kind of handmade.

1071
01:08:32,305 --> 01:08:34,136
I printed off some letterhead for you.

1072
01:08:34,207 --> 01:08:35,868
- Nice.
- You guys already saw that.

1073
01:08:35,942 --> 01:08:38,308
- And I just kept it real simple...
- It's perfect.

1074
01:08:38,378 --> 01:08:40,778
...so that it would show up well
on the fax.

1075
01:08:41,748 --> 01:08:44,046
That is the most ridiculous photo.

1076
01:08:44,117 --> 01:08:48,349
There's something really weird
about this maniacal public relations guy.

1077
01:08:48,421 --> 01:08:51,322
- A little magnetic strip on the back.
- A logo of the WTO.

1078
01:08:51,391 --> 01:08:52,585
Really beautiful.

1079
01:08:54,327 --> 01:08:57,490
You know what I did?
I went to Google...

1080
01:08:57,564 --> 01:09:02,399
and I went to Google image search
and I typed in, "I.D. card."

1081
01:09:02,469 --> 01:09:05,961
And you wouldn't believe
the number of pictures of I.D. cards

1082
01:09:06,039 --> 01:09:07,870
that show up on the Web.

1083
01:09:07,941 --> 01:09:10,808
And I just went through
and took a little bit from each one.

1084
01:09:10,877 --> 01:09:14,040
I said, "All right, this one's got
a little bar code at the bottom,

1085
01:09:14,114 --> 01:09:16,344
and this one uses
the logo over here."

1086
01:09:16,416 --> 01:09:18,407
That is so nice.

1087
01:09:30,029 --> 01:09:32,190
- I know.
- Wow. Airplane.

1088
01:09:34,534 --> 01:09:36,229
Where's the rental car area?

1089
01:09:56,322 --> 01:09:58,313
No, I don't know.
I'm just really nervous

1090
01:09:58,391 --> 01:10:01,883
'cause this feels different from all
the other things that we've done.

1091
01:10:01,961 --> 01:10:08,696
It's not like the same kind of play,
fun, crazy, weird, impossible stuff.

1092
01:10:08,768 --> 01:10:10,258
This is sincere, you know.

1093
01:10:10,336 --> 01:10:13,203
It's about replacing the WTO
with something better.

1094
01:10:13,273 --> 01:10:16,333
- Do you think that satire is more fun?
- Yeah, definitely.

1095
01:10:16,409 --> 01:10:19,640
I got this feeling that it's--
for some reason--

1096
01:10:19,712 --> 01:10:22,203
maybe it's less fun to be sincere.

1097
01:10:22,282 --> 01:10:24,273
But it is less fun, isn't it?

1098
01:10:24,350 --> 01:10:26,181
In a way, yeah.

1099
01:10:26,252 --> 01:10:31,849
Maybe it's more fun
to be satirical than serious.

1100
01:10:31,925 --> 01:10:33,085
Yeah.

1101
01:10:37,697 --> 01:10:39,790
It's about 9:00 in the morning,

1102
01:10:39,866 --> 01:10:42,426
and this is the big day
for Kinnithrung Sprat

1103
01:10:42,502 --> 01:10:44,402
to go talk to CPA Australia

1104
01:10:44,471 --> 01:10:46,632
and close down the WTO.

1105
01:10:46,706 --> 01:10:51,905
It's kind of an exciting day for us
'cause we finally get to shut it down.

1106
01:11:06,226 --> 01:11:10,720
I'm writing the local phone number
for this cell phone on the business cards.

1107
01:11:10,797 --> 01:11:13,732
So if we give these to journalists
or anybody else

1108
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:18,533
who wants to contact Mr. Sprat--they'll be
able to do it in the next couple days.

1109
01:11:20,974 --> 01:11:23,135
We have to leave
in ten minutes, though.

1110
01:11:23,209 --> 01:11:24,642
I know.

1111
01:11:24,711 --> 01:11:27,544
I'm just gonna do
as little as possible.

1112
01:11:30,683 --> 01:11:34,175
Okay, let's just go by there.
We have some time yet.

1113
01:11:34,254 --> 01:11:36,586
Let's just keep walking.
Just walk straight.

1114
01:11:36,723 --> 01:11:40,716
Don't look.
Don't turn left. Don't...

1115
01:11:40,793 --> 01:11:43,819
Hey, no. Don't.
Don't do that.

1116
01:11:45,665 --> 01:11:46,825
Answer it.

1117
01:11:47,767 --> 01:11:49,598
Hello, Michael Bonanno here.

1118
01:11:52,505 --> 01:11:54,063
Hi, Jane. How are you?

1119
01:11:55,675 --> 01:11:59,111
All right, then. I guess
we'll see you in just a few minutes.

1120
01:11:59,178 --> 01:12:01,510
And we just come up
to level three, then?

1121
01:12:01,581 --> 01:12:04,846
Great. Thank you very much.
All right. Bye-bye.

1122
01:12:04,918 --> 01:12:06,010
Run!

1123
01:12:10,890 --> 01:12:12,687
Oh, wait. Shit!
This is the building!

1124
01:12:13,192 --> 01:12:14,887
- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you for having us.

1125
01:12:14,961 --> 01:12:18,692
Sorry for the confusion
and problems and everything else.

1126
01:12:18,765 --> 01:12:20,926
It's to be expected
these days, I think.

1127
01:12:21,901 --> 01:12:26,167
No. Thanks for going out of your way
to arrange this. This is really terrific.

1128
01:12:31,811 --> 01:12:34,336
Thank you all for coming.
I'd like to...

1129
01:12:35,582 --> 01:12:38,983
I'd like to thank the organizers
for going out of their way

1130
01:12:39,052 --> 01:12:43,853
to create this panel,
this luncheon,

1131
01:12:43,923 --> 01:12:48,019
in the face of some odds--the conference
having been canceled, of course.

1132
01:12:48,094 --> 01:12:50,756
And I'd especially like to begin

1133
01:12:50,830 --> 01:12:54,664
by apologizing for a rather sudden
change in the program,

1134
01:12:54,734 --> 01:13:01,003
consequent upon a rather dramatic
development in Geneva yesterday.

1135
01:13:01,074 --> 01:13:04,908
I originally intended to transmit today
an upbeat report

1136
01:13:04,978 --> 01:13:09,915
on some new technologies that affect
agribusiness in a global sense.

1137
01:13:09,983 --> 01:13:14,920
Instead, I find myself the messenger
of some rather disturbing news.

1138
01:13:14,988 --> 01:13:17,718
The WTO will be issuing
a public statement

1139
01:13:17,790 --> 01:13:19,985
in detail by the end of the week.

1140
01:13:20,059 --> 01:13:22,050
But the die has been cast.

1141
01:13:22,128 --> 01:13:24,289
As of September 2002,

1142
01:13:24,364 --> 01:13:26,958
having seen the effects of policies

1143
01:13:27,033 --> 01:13:30,560
whose only intent was to bring
greater prosperity and peace,

1144
01:13:30,637 --> 01:13:35,438
the World Trade Organization,
in its present form, will cease to exist.

1145
01:13:36,376 --> 01:13:37,866
Over the next two years,

1146
01:13:37,944 --> 01:13:43,007
we at the WTO will endeavor to re-found
our organization along different lines,

1147
01:13:43,082 --> 01:13:47,143
based in a different understanding
of the purposes of world trade.

1148
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,178
The new organization will have
as its foundation and basis

1149
01:13:51,257 --> 01:13:55,091
the United Nations'
Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

1150
01:13:55,161 --> 01:13:59,564
upon which we feel
we can make a good foundation

1151
01:13:59,632 --> 01:14:02,294
to ensuring that the organization
will have human

1152
01:14:02,368 --> 01:14:05,303
rather than business interests
as its bottom line.

1153
01:14:05,371 --> 01:14:07,202
My reaction was one of total surprise.

1154
01:14:07,273 --> 01:14:09,104
We were expecting
a speech more based

1155
01:14:09,175 --> 01:14:13,111
on what the World Trade Organization
does in its relation to Australian trade.

1156
01:14:13,179 --> 01:14:16,171
It sort of blew me out of the water
when the announcement was made

1157
01:14:16,249 --> 01:14:19,980
that the World Trade Organization
is significantly reinventing itself

1158
01:14:20,053 --> 01:14:25,787
to focus on issues relating to people
as opposed to economics--

1159
01:14:25,858 --> 01:14:28,691
something that hopefully could be
of significant benefit

1160
01:14:28,761 --> 01:14:33,095
to the poor and needy throughout
the world in all developing countries.

1161
01:14:33,166 --> 01:14:37,330
The U.N. estimates that poor countries--
the poorest countries in the world--

1162
01:14:37,403 --> 01:14:43,069
lose approximately $2 billion a day
because of unjust trade rules,

1163
01:14:43,142 --> 01:14:46,407
many of them instituted
by our own organization.

1164
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,743
And this is 14 times the amount

1165
01:14:48,815 --> 01:14:51,545
that they receive in aid
from developed countries.

1166
01:14:52,552 --> 01:14:57,216
I thought the speech itself was compelling
in terms of its information.

1167
01:14:57,290 --> 01:15:02,887
I was astounded to find that they're
actually gonna dismantle the WTO.

1168
01:15:02,962 --> 01:15:07,695
I was also amazed to see that there was
a mission that perhaps had failed.

1169
01:15:07,767 --> 01:15:11,100
It's gonna have a huge effect
on international business

1170
01:15:11,170 --> 01:15:14,333
and particularly for us
as an organization, I feel.

1171
01:15:14,407 --> 01:15:18,138
The hardest thing, I find,
will be the balance that, let's say,

1172
01:15:18,211 --> 01:15:20,736
the U.S., E.U., and Japan--

1173
01:15:20,813 --> 01:15:24,544
in terms of being major components
of the world economy--

1174
01:15:24,617 --> 01:15:28,451
the effect--will they really change
in terms of this new organization,

1175
01:15:28,521 --> 01:15:31,183
and will there actually
be genuine change

1176
01:15:31,257 --> 01:15:34,590
and perhaps a benefit
to the world's poorest countries?

1177
01:15:34,660 --> 01:15:37,754
I must admit I'm a cynic
with regards to that occurring.

1178
01:15:37,830 --> 01:15:41,095
Liberalization--
the process of liberalization

1179
01:15:41,167 --> 01:15:43,226
often enables
the knowledge of the poor

1180
01:15:43,302 --> 01:15:47,170
to be converted into the property
of global corporations.

1181
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,607
Specific statistics are rather shocking.

1182
01:15:50,676 --> 01:15:59,277
Out of 26,000 patents
applied for in Africa in 2000 and 2001,

1183
01:15:59,352 --> 01:16:03,186
only 31 were from residents of Africa.

1184
01:16:03,256 --> 01:16:06,089
The rest were from residents
of first world countries.

1185
01:16:06,159 --> 01:16:10,220
31 out of 26,000 patent applications.

1186
01:16:10,296 --> 01:16:11,957
It wasn't what I was expecting.

1187
01:16:12,031 --> 01:16:14,022
I was expecting something
on agribusiness

1188
01:16:14,100 --> 01:16:16,591
and what
the World Trade Organization does.

1189
01:16:16,669 --> 01:16:20,264
But I'd have to say
I believe it's fairly positive

1190
01:16:20,339 --> 01:16:24,070
because I think that,
as the gentleman said,

1191
01:16:24,143 --> 01:16:27,510
the strong are getting stronger,
and the weak are getting weaker.

1192
01:16:27,580 --> 01:16:29,411
And you can't let that keep on going.

1193
01:16:29,482 --> 01:16:31,313
Even we notice it here in Australia

1194
01:16:31,384 --> 01:16:34,979
with some of the trade arrangements
that are made.

1195
01:16:35,054 --> 01:16:37,318
If you're powerful,
you can get whatever you like,

1196
01:16:37,390 --> 01:16:39,221
and if you're not, you can't.

1197
01:16:39,292 --> 01:16:42,784
The world, with the population we've got,
can't keep going that way.

1198
01:16:42,862 --> 01:16:44,454
So I think it was fairly positive,

1199
01:16:44,530 --> 01:16:47,192
and I think it's a very brave decision
by an organization

1200
01:16:47,266 --> 01:16:50,758
to admit that they've been going down
the wrong track and dissolve themselves

1201
01:16:50,837 --> 01:16:54,637
and start to look for something different.
And I think it's fantastic.

1202
01:16:54,707 --> 01:16:57,039
Disparity is growing
between rich and poor.

1203
01:16:57,109 --> 01:16:59,600
The richest fifth have 80%
of the world's income,

1204
01:16:59,679 --> 01:17:02,011
and the poorest fifth have 1%.

1205
01:17:02,081 --> 01:17:04,140
This gap--we all know this figure,

1206
01:17:04,217 --> 01:17:09,814
but we don't always remember that
this gap has actually doubled since 1960.

1207
01:17:09,889 --> 01:17:13,222
More and more thinkers
are therefore noting

1208
01:17:13,292 --> 01:17:16,784
that there is no evidence
that liberalization favors growth

1209
01:17:16,863 --> 01:17:18,592
or benefits the poor.

1210
01:17:18,664 --> 01:17:21,326
I think we're all generally aware
of increases in poverty

1211
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,494
and low living standards and issues
faced by developing countries.

1212
01:17:24,570 --> 01:17:28,734
And what Mr. Sprat had to say today
really is a terrific sign of hope

1213
01:17:28,808 --> 01:17:31,834
for what I think we all aspire to,

1214
01:17:31,911 --> 01:17:35,847
and that's a global economy
that benefits all people.

1215
01:17:44,056 --> 01:17:47,958
Now, after protected, protracted,
and detailed review

1216
01:17:48,027 --> 01:17:51,793
of current trade policy,
the World Trade Organization has decided

1217
01:17:51,864 --> 01:17:54,856
to affect a cessation of all operations

1218
01:17:54,934 --> 01:17:57,425
to be accomplished
over the next four months

1219
01:17:57,503 --> 01:18:00,939
culminating by the end of September...

1220
01:18:01,007 --> 01:18:03,840
Well, I think that the Yes Men

1221
01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:05,639
have kind of played out their course

1222
01:18:05,711 --> 01:18:08,874
in relation to the World Trade
Organization for the moment.

1223
01:18:08,948 --> 01:18:12,145
You never know when we
might get another invitation.

1224
01:18:12,218 --> 01:18:17,520
We were lucky to be able to provide a sort
of sense of closure by ending the WTO.

1225
01:18:17,590 --> 01:18:20,582
We also hope that other people
will just start doing the same things

1226
01:18:20,660 --> 01:18:22,491
in all kinds of different contexts--

1227
01:18:22,561 --> 01:18:28,022
impersonating whoever holds power
that needs to be criticized.

1228
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:31,160
So if the opportunity arises,
we're just gonna keep doing it.

1229
01:18:31,237 --> 01:18:34,638
We're gonna go and...
be the Yes Men again,

1230
01:18:34,707 --> 01:18:37,642
or I should say,
be the WTO again in another event.

1231
01:18:37,710 --> 01:18:40,543
The future's bright for the Yes Men.

1232
01:18:40,613 --> 01:18:44,549
The future of the world
is a different story.

1233
01:19:19,185 --> 01:19:22,586
No, this isn't the way
he usually dresses.

1234
01:19:22,655 --> 01:19:26,182
He works for the World Trade
Organization--you know, the WTO.

1235
01:19:26,258 --> 01:19:29,421
He works--
see, we're at a conference,

1236
01:19:29,495 --> 01:19:33,261
and he's demonstrating
a new kind of technology.

1237
01:19:33,332 --> 01:19:38,292
This is--well, it's a device
to measure employee working

1238
01:19:38,371 --> 01:19:40,498
in less developed countries.

1239
01:19:40,573 --> 01:19:44,304
There's a thing here where...

1240
01:19:44,377 --> 01:19:48,279
on this screen I can see...

1241
01:19:48,347 --> 01:19:51,316
See, he watches people working there.

1242
01:19:51,384 --> 01:19:54,444
And they have little devices
that give them shocks.

1243
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,511
It's just regular fabric.

1244
01:19:56,589 --> 01:19:59,922
In the future,
it'll be sensitive-smart fabric.

1245
01:19:59,992 --> 01:20:01,584
It's a little hot, but...

1246
01:20:02,862 --> 01:20:04,193
That one looks better.
