Hostile Corporate take over?

[Wizard777]

I think what we are witnessing here is an international corporate take over attempt. Against the UN. Possibly even America. With all the war profiteering a foot on many fronts you have to start looking at the war's as nine parts Business and one part war. The one maddening, bleeding, crippling, dying part of War. That's the part of the war that belongs to the people. How far off the mark do you think I am?

1. You're probably right Wizard..

It sure looks that way. Wally O'Dell (founder of DieBold Voting Machines) ensured the win.. and now Bush has nothing to lose.

He's an evil man on an evil mission. :puke:

3. It's not about the canidate any more. That's for sure.

In the old colonial taverns they used to joke about entering a pig in the race office. We the republicans have sort of won that old bet. They have shaved Bonzo, almost taught him how to speak Amerkin, and got him elected President. Yep, they skunked us alright. Without a doubt there is some ballot tampering here. Now we need to win one for the Gipper. Both of them.

2. You are not off the mark at all...

Look at all the hostility this administration has towards Venezuela and governments held responsible for the well being of their citizens.

Everything in the name of cheap labor for the ruling classes should be bush's motto.There isn't ONE fucking policy he's put in place that didn't involve cheap labor and/or corporate bonanzas. Someone help me out here... is there anything I overlooked? One humane policy?

The only point that we may disagree upon is that you call this an attempt.

It was an attempt before religion incorporated jumped on the bandwagon. bush sweetened the anti for religion inc. by faith based initiatives. IMO, it's now a done deal.

4. It's Not Iron Clad Yet.

I think the Oil for Food Scandal was a corporate attack against Kofi Annan. It's a classic paralization move. Slow the international wheels down to make an advance. Possibly even trying to pull him in. Bush holds every other other world leader to the nth degree of the law while wantonly violating laws. It's a charge. Never mind me what about you! Your in big trouble mister. Let me tell you every single thing you have ever done wrong in your entire life. When in the Hell did they dig up J. Edgar Hoover? Great Cesar's Ghost! I would literally check his grave to ensure his skull is still there.

5. That's part of it.

Fascism has one definition of the government being an enforcement arm of corporate entities. The unworthiness of the major players is truly maddening to me. Unethical scum almost describes it but even that's still too benign.I've got it: traitors.

6. A Window into Neo-conservative Thought

The upcoming Free Trade agreements will kill all conjecture in this discussion. We are, simply put, dealing with people who are rosy optimists when it comes to the self-correcting nature of free markets, yet xenophobic in their political stance towards other nations.

The goal here is to create a homogeneous global climate in which - I kid you not - political and religious differences are overshadowed by our similarities in product consumption.

As one neo-conservative advocate put it, if you put a Muslim and a Christian in the same room together, they have little in common - they might even fight with one another. However, if you put a Muslim Coke-drinker and a Christian Coke-drinker in a room together, it is far less likely that their differences will be expressed - they have something "positive" in common.

To them, consolidation is the only true unity.
