The Corporate Mindset ...... from "The Corporation"





The profit motive drives the actions of the corporation and creates a mindset of competition and anything goes. Meet corporate spy and self-described predator Marc Barry as he describes his tactics for gathering intelligence from competing corporations.
Juxtapose his attitude with Ray Anderson, President of Interface, who, in an epiphanic moment, realized he was a plunderer and it was only a matter of time before the law figures it out.

Very pleasing to listen to Ray Anderson and his awakening. If only the workers & investors of those same corporations could have the same breakthrough. Mr. Anderson will probably never be able to make up for the suffering to the people & critters of this planet he has caused but at least he is on the right track. Unlike so many people of this world who bear no thought or conscience to what they work or invest for. All they know is that they want money. No matter the cost, mo matter the misery caused, they will be secure in their retirement and damn everyone else to hell on earth far, far past the time they have departed.

It helped launch the then nascent Abolish Corporate "Personhood" movement, exposed how it became instituionalized in our corrupted system vis a vis corrupted courts, legal clerks etc in the early days of Big Rail -Road establishment in the west, specically Santa Clara County (aka Silicon Valley) vs Southern Pacific Railroad in 1886.

This has been a long hard slog of a struggle and it shall continue to be, but i am so heartened to see this movement gain as much steam recently as it has now, I think thanks to the Citizens United decision, which woke up a lot of people I believe on all sides of the political spectrum, is vitally important. Currently this movement has stepped up to the next level I've been waiting to see happen and that's the Constitutional "Move to Amend" efforts going on now across the nation....

This film is an excellent primer for the unintiated, and happy to see it posted and shared...
