The AntiMedia has been called a conspiracy website in the past before. Also a breeding ground for paranoia. It's run by the founder of March Against Monsanto, Nick Bernbabe. But I can totally see this as a thing that is happening. Media stuff is tough - hard to tell who is telling the truth and who is misinformed.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you . . . LOL
This is real

but as usual, there are nuances to the story. The Mexican argument was that the US standards for labelling tuna as dolphin-safe were so low, that the label is kind of meaningless, and therefore they shouldn't enhance the competitiveness of US tuna brands vis-a-vis the Mexican ones. Kind of a lowest-common-denominator thing rather than working to keep the dolphins safer.

People here have been fighting against the TTP agreement for years, but we are powerless to do anything in this dictatorship posing as de-mock-cracy.
I begin to doubt there ever was a more corrupt and screwed-up time in history.
WTB ticket off this planet, please.
