Lisbon,
When international trade agreements are negotiated behind closed
doors and outright protests have been marginalized, if not
criminalized, what are the 'little people' to do?
A score of rogue "delegates" infiltrated a corporate-sponsored gala
welcoming guests to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade
negotiations and held a mock award ceremony for "Corporate Power
Tools."
Other actions involved an 'occupied' mic-check and replacing toilet
paper throughout the hotel with custom rolls.
Clearly, the elite don't like being made fun of, but they certainly
got the message that people paying attention and don't like what is
being done behind closed doors.

for the high-stakes Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade negotiations

The crowd of negotiators and corporate representatives applauded, and "Haversall" continued: "I'd like to personally thank the negotiators for their relentless efforts. The TPP agreement is shaping up to be a fantastic way for us to maximize profits, regardless of what the public of this nation—or any other nation—thinks is right."
