WEF's Weak Point! [T 12002:01:30:17:59:03]<\/p>
World Economic Forum demonstratons need to connect with <\/p>
the Public's basic indignation and anger<\/p>
currently stired up by the Corporate Media.<\/p>
The Corporate Media is currently focused on Enron,<\/p>
so any WEF demonstraton should link into their Enron coverage.<\/p>
The Public works hard for a few dollars,<\/p>
sees the Enron executives as corrupt freeloaders<\/p>
who have not earned their pay.<\/p>
The Public understands the executives have not realy contributed to society,<\/p>
but have benefited from society big time.<\/p>
This Public moral outrage is seaking a target.<\/p>
<\/p>
In this regard The World Economic Forum and Bush Jr. have a major weak point:<\/p>
\"Americans perceive Republicans as far more entangled in the Enron debacle than Democrats, <\/p>
and their suspicions are growing that the Bush administration is hiding something <\/p>
or lying about its own dealings with the Enron Corporation <\/p>
before the company filed for bankruptcy protection, <\/p>
the latest New York Times\/CBS News Poll shows. <\/p>
Even among Republicans, <\/p>
a majority said they believed that the administration had not been forthcoming <\/p>
about its dealings with Enron. <\/p>
That perception could pose a threat to Republican candidates in the midterm elections this year, <\/p>
and undermine the White House drive to portray the Enron collapse <\/p>
as effecting Republicans and Democrats equally.\" ...<\/p>
\"Executives of the Enron Corporation had closer ties to members of which party?<\/p>
Republican 45%<\/p>
Democratic 10%<\/p>
Both Equal 10%<\/p>
No Opinion 34%\" ...<\/p>
\"The collapse of the Enron Corporation is of what importance to the nation?<\/p>
Great 39%<\/p>
Some 44%<\/p>
Very Little 8%<\/p>
No Opinion 9%\"<\/p>
Poll Finds Enron's Taint Clings More to G.O.P. Than Democrats<\/p>

Enron ... Enron ... World Economic Forum<\/p> your nothing but a freeloading, dirty, lowdown, sleazy <\/p> Enron ... Enron ... Enron\",<\/p> then the words \"World Economic Forum\" and \"Enron\" <\/p> may be on millions of TV screens,<\/p> the WEF may be perceived as a much larger Enron in the making,<\/p> the demonstrators may be seen to be doing something for labor,<\/p> and Public opion may be on the side of the demonstrators.<\/p> The Goal is to make WEF a dirty word, like Enron,<\/p> and avoid any violence.<\/p> <\/p> Please send this email to your friends, Thank You!<\/p> ---------------------------------------------------<\/p> Doonesbury on Enron and Bush Jr.<\/p> http:\/\/www.doonesbury.com\/strip\/dailydose\/index20020122.htm<\/a>\">http:\/\/www.doonesbury.com\/strip\/dailydose\/index20020122.htm<\/a><\/p> <\/p> A Field Guide To Anti-WEF Protest<\/p> http:\/\/www.villagevoice.com\/issues\/0204\/anderson.php<\/a>\">http:\/\/www.villagevoice.com\/issues\/0204\/anderson.php<\/a><\/p> <\/p>\n","contact":"c.j@ziplip.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"The World Economic Forum has a weak point!","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/02\/14562.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
