In this case, the WTO protest in Seattle gave him a highly visible target at which to throw stones.
Kim: I think that's a concern of people who are against the WTO, and I think it's a legitimate concern; I think that Krist and I were describing aspects of relationships and political relationships which could be benefited by the actions of the WTO or could be damaged by the actions of the WTO.
I understood various economic ideas and political ideas, but I didn't really know what the WTO's objectives were, and I think that I benefited from being involved with this, and I'm sure that the general public across the country benefited from watching this on the news.

 The No WTO Combo - Live From The Battle in Seattle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The No WTO Combo was a temporary project featuring Jello Biafra on vocals, formed to protest last fall's WTO meetings in Seattle.
Live opens with a 15-minute spoken word rant from Biafra where he explains some of the problems of the WTO, and how exciting it is for so many divergent interest groups to get together to protest it all.
Closing out the EP is the Combo's take on a Biafra/DOA song, "Full Metal Jacket." Having never been a big DOA fan, I can't comment on how well the song is played, but it ends the EP quite nicely.

 Punknews.org | No WTO Combo - Live From The Battle In Seattle
In the winter of 1999, the World Trade Organization, or WTO for short, planned on having a conference in Seattle, Washington.
I'm not going to take up review space talking about just how evil the WTO is, or all it's myriad problems, I'll leave that research up to you [a good place to start is the Institute For Consumer Responsibility or the International Forum On Globalization].
In response to the conference and in support of all the protests across town, Jello Biafra got together with some of his Seattle friends, forming a band called the No WTO Combo to play a one-off concert at the Showbox.

He recorded a music EP under the moniker "No WTO Combo" with Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) and Krist Novoselic (Nirvana).
At a past spoken-word show, he said, "One of the worst forms of censorship is what people are not being told." His live performances take that idea head-on, with Biafra weighing in on the entire spectrum of social, political, and artistic topics.

In musical terms, this is no time at all (Mozart's been dead over two centuries and people are still flowing the respect his direction).
With the madness of the WTO demonstrations swirling about like a background tornado, it's doubtful this show could be anything but historic (provided the city isn't burned to the ground earlier in the day).
It's always possible the No-WTO Combo could suck but if you're really worried about that happening, perhaps you'd be better off going to see Nader debate a bunch of CEO types down the street*.

Calling themselves the No WTO Combo, the one-off group ripped through a blistering set of Dead Kennedys-style hardcore.
Neither Novoselic nor Thayil had ever performed onstage with Biafra, one of the most enduring, notorious and politically active figures to come out of the late 1970s and early 1980s California punk scene.
The idea of the No WTO Combo came about when Biafra and Novoselic, president and founder of the Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee, were touring together as speakers on the activist-oriented Spitfire Tour.

 Green Left - Many ways to say "capitalism bites"
Probably the biggest names on the CD are the No WTO Combo, otherwise known as Jello Biafra, Kim Thayil from Soundgarden and Krist Novoselic from Nirvana, playing “Let’s Lynch the Landlord” live during the “Battle of Seattle”; in 1999.
“There is no America, there is no democracy.” Well, the second one is true, but there seems if anything to be an excessive amount of America lately.
This CD is not for anyone who only likes one kind of music, or even for anyone who thinks “all hip hop/metal/folk is crap” — but if you want to be pleasantly surprised by how many different ways people can say “capitalism bites”, buy it.

It seems fitting that people whose primary means of communication has always been music would use that medium as the vehicle by which they express their displeasure with the WTO and the bourgeoisie policies it promotes.
The best of the pair is the very DK-esque track called "New Feudalism" where Jello desperately tries to coin the phrase "New Feudalism" as a description of the socio-economic realities of a world controlled by the WTO.
For fans of Jello and enemies of the WTO this CD is nothing less than mandatory.

For those unaware, Jello Biafra, former lead singer/songwriter of the seminal punk band Dead Kennedys, is a renowned social commentator and spoken word artist.
He is also a key ingredient in Lard, an ongoing recording project with members of Ministry, which released a new EP in January 2000, and The No WTO Combo, an impromptu "super-group"(also featuring Krist Novoselic, Kim Thayil, and Gina Mainwal), which performed during the 1999 protests in Seattle.
Jello began his spoken word career in early ‘86, when he found himself thrust into the role of spokesperson on censorship and First Amendment rights during Dead Kennedys "Frankenchrist" trial- the first case in history to try a recorded work for obscenity.
