Lori Wallach — As a founding member of the International Forum on Globalization and the director and chief spokesman for Ralph Nader’s Global Trade Watch, Lori Wallach is one of the Insider-designated top leaders of the "anti-globalization" movement. Ms. Wallach was the subject of an extraordinary 27-page-long cover story/interview in the Spring 2000 issue of Foreign Policy, published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a globalist, CFR-laden outfit which is for the WTO and the FTAA. The adulatory puff piece, entitled "Lori’s War," was intended to signal to the CFR media crowd that Wallach is the "go to" person for Establishment-approved opposition in interviews, debates, congressional testimony, panels, etc. She has testified on trade issues more than 30 times before congressional committees and has received prominent coverage from nearly all of the major radio and television networks and newspapers.

Interestingly, at about the same time that the Foreign Policy globalists were singing her praises, Wallach was also being glorified by Inter Press Service (IPS), the Marxist propaganda agency with correspondents and outlets in more than 60 countries and headquarters at UN Plaza in New York City. In an article entitled "Lori Wallach, Tireless Campaigner Against Corporate Globalisation," for its April-May 2000 "Women As Leaders" series, the IPS lauded Wallach as "the trade debate’s guerilla warrior." It’s not a coincidence that Inter Press Service has the same IPS acronym as the Institute for Policy Studies; it was created by radicals from the Marxist think tank in 1981 and the two have been joined at the hip ever since. Wallach has worked closely with these IPS/IPS comrades for years, especially in the super-radical International Forum on Globalization (IFG), where she served on the Drafting Committee of the "Alternatives to Economic Globalization" report, IFG’s shockingly blatant call for socialist world government under a vastly empowered UN.

In the course of her Foreign Policy interview in 2000, Wallach admitted that GTW is funded by the Ford Foundation. She also stated that she favors "a global regime of rules" in which the WTO’s authority would be expanded to cover other things beside trade issues. She called for "empowering institutions such as the International Labor Organization (ILO), which right now is toothless and useless." In its January-February 2004 issue, Foreign Policy very graciously gave Wallach valuable space for an essay entitled "Trade Secrets: The real message of the recent collapse of trade talks in Cancun," alongside an article by billionaire George Soros (CFR), who funds both sides of the controlled FTAA "debate." (See the first installment of "A NAFTA/FTAA Rogues’ Gallery" for more on Soros.) Activists who genuinely and unalterably oppose the FTAA and WTO know their chances of receiving similarly favorable treatment and opportunities are about nil. Likewise, they will not be invited to speak at meetings of the CFR and World Economic Forum, as Wallach, the supposed nemesis of globalization, frequently does. Wallach leads a charmed life, flitting between confabs of the CFR corporate/government elite and their paid "opposition" on the Left.
