| "A Stalking Horse for Privatization?" Formal IRS Complaint Filed Against US Pavilion OrganizersOn HuffPost, investigator/author Robert Jacobson describes how organizers of the US Pavilion, inside the State Dept. and in the private sector, created a $70 million, tax-exempt edifice whose entire business is promoting multinational corporations.
By: Robert Jacobson It's a big story hiding in a small building in a remote region of the world unknown to most Americans. It''s also timely: Clinton arrives in Shanghai on Saturday to celebrate the successful corporate takeover of the US Pavilion, a major interface with China's economic leadership. "A Stalking Horse for Privatization? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ I provide links to my formal complaint just made to the IRS, now online, that reveals how this ongoing takeover of the State Department being is led, as entertainment; The New York Stock Exchange, a US Pavilion "marketing partner" (sponsor), today issued this fascinating release announcing the first opening of that trading outside of NYC -- and it happened right in the US Pavilion, in Shanghai. It validates my account of the US Pavilion and its purpose: to promote American multinationals, not the American nation. http://www.marketwatch.com/ "Stalking Horse" is the follow-up to my former well-received article, also on HuffPost, relating the origins of the US Pavilion as a test of privatizing American diplomacy, "'Blackwatering' Public Diplomacy: The US Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo," May 3, 2010 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ I'm available for your questions, comments, and interviews. My personal thanks for helping me bring this story to the attention of the American people. Bob Jacobson # # # Bluefire is a personal political investigative business. I investigate and write as a public citizen about government-private sector collusion, developments that may not make the daily news but that are critical to the future of American democracy. End
