In what could be an amazing and frightening move, Wal-Mart is now considering appealing to international trade rules and the WTO in an effort to further expand into the U.S. and other countries.
Wal-Mart is facing a growing number of communities across America that have begun rethinking their views of the corporate giant. And as people and communities slowly begin to better understand what Wal-Mart is all about, Wal-Mart will continue to face growing opposition.
Instead of implementing real reforms in an effort to let more communities welcome them "to town", Wal-Mart is now considering trumping or bypassing those local communities which stand in their way. Even the many communities that have approved new Wal-Mart & Sam's Club stores could be targeted. Local zoning boards that regulate the size, shape and location of businesses could be challenged in WTO court.
Wal-Mart would like to build even larger stores with even larger signs in any location they want. They would like more main street locations that are currently off-limits due to local zoning laws and ordinances. Other communities that completely reject Wal-Mart could be forced to let them in anyways.
Wal-Mart contends that it is unfair for local communities to shut them out and they also think it is a violation of international trade laws. Thus, they are considering challenging or bypassing U.S. laws.
Please don't be so quick to dismiss the WTO threat. Mexico has also been appealing to the WTO and international rules and laws in an attempt to dictate U.S. immigration policy with some early success. You can be sure that Wal-Mart would also back Mexico and the WTO's attempt to dictate U.S. immigration policy, to help ensure a strong supply of cheap imported labor to continue to build their stores. They want you to think that Americans don't want good paying construction jobs.
While the idea that the WTO could have any real power over U.S. laws would seem highly unlikely a few years ago. The globalists are picking up steam. It is only a matter of time if we do not act.
We don't only need to wake up and say no to Wal-Mart, but we also need to say goodbye to membership in the World Trade Organization.
