Protestors at the April 23rd Rally in Washington DC staged an MAI Shell Game

Protestors at the April 23rd Rally in Washington DC staged an MAI Shell Game to demonstrate how MAI proponents are shifting MAI rules into different venues or "shells." The Corporate Carny (Mike Dolan) takes bets from the Corporate Fat Cat to find the MAI "pea" hiding under one of the many "shells", namely the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the New TransAtlantic Marketplace (NTM) or TransAtlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA). Lori Wallach heckles the Corporate Fat Cat as he WINS everytime! In this "shell game" citizens lose and the corporate fat cat wins everytime!
