The Corporate Control Of Society And Human Life

Posted on Wednesday, April 26 at 11:30 by 4Canada
The Power of Transnational Corporations and the Harm They Cause As corporations have grown in size they've gained in power and influence. And so has the harm they cause - to communities, nations, the great majority of the public and the planet. Today corporate giants decide who governs and how, who serves on our courts, what laws are enacted and even whether and when wars are fought, against whom and for what purpose or gain. It's for their gain, who else's, certainly not ours. Once we start one, they can even make profit projections from it like on any other business venture. For them, that's all it is - another way to make a buck, lots of them.

    These corporations can get away with mass murders, because people let them, as they have permitted any other aristocracy in history to roll over them. In the past it was claimed that they rule by some divine order, now because the universities are supplying them the necessary scriptures for supernatural rights. This is now called "democracy" as was by the Soviets under another flag.

    Milton Friedman may shed crocodile tears, he was one of the main inventors and sellers of this crime wave with his theories. By the way, he's not a Nobel laureate, because there ain't no Nobel Prize for economics. What they fraudulently call Nobel Prize, is in reality the Bank of Sweden Prize, given out by a group of likeminded twerps, who sit around in a circle, like a bunch of dope addicts, giving shots to each other.

    I agree with everything in this article, but it isn't touching, or going far enough, or after the real culprits. I've been writing for years that today's economists are nothing more than just another pseudo religious priesthood, sanctifying crime and murder.

    E.g. So what if some obscure court decision in California, over 100 years ago, gave corporations supernatural rights?

    What does this have to do with Canada, or any country on Earth ? Why do we have to accept it automatically and why haven't been there class action lawsuits against it? Where are all the anti cartel laws ? Why aren't they enforced?

    I wish I had the money to start a lawsuit against the law, as unconstitutional, and against the governments for pimping for these crooks.

    Dammit, I didn't win the 6-49 again, so it will have to wait till I do.!!!!!!!

    It would seem to me that this article is extremely appropriate to what just happened in the softwood lumber despute. The whole issue revolves around what is good for the big corporations and creating a means for them to control supply in order to keep prices and profits high.

    Good post 4Canada. Ed, it was a clerk in the Supreme Court who gave corporations personhood under the law by writing it into the notes. The corrupt judges have since pretended that they were too inept to notice that a non decision was being treated as a prima facie decision. I know that I am nit picking and I know that you know the real story but there may be some folks who don't and they may think that due process was followed when it was actually entirely dispensed with. You are right, the article does not go far enough.
