Welcome.
The material presented here may take considerable time to review, but it's not only interesting and informative, I believe it's important. I hope you find it to your liking.Identifying our Real Enemies. We're under attack and the people are divided and fighting amongst themselves, but the most powerful, insidious identifable actors behind the most egregious damage beind done are "Corporation". They're the manifestation and organizational structure used by the corrupt Wealthy in their efforts to not only continue to control our country, but to increase that control to absolute power. In brief, it goes like this Greed->Wealth->Aristocracy->Corruption/Corporations. Profit at any cost...
Since this is a political matter in which those who control the wealth seek to further their domination of everyone and everything else, and although it involves economic forces as well as the unspoken/hidden/denied "class war" (which is really just a "resistance" effort since the our nation was designed to preserve and protect the Wealthy from it's very inception--though it did include a modest improvement in the lives of the common man, it's always been an uphill struggle). Thus this is a political matter (as well as a social and economic one) and thus why it's presented here... The reason is that in order to fight to preserve our lives and futures, we must know and understand that which seeks to undo all the gains in freedom, rights, protections, economic opportunity and political power the middle class has gained this century--and that force is composed of Corporations!
Our enemies are the Corporations**. To understand how that is, as a first step in responding to them, we have to review the rise and evolution of Corporations in America. It's important information and veryone should see it (if only to be well informed). I therefore present,
The Corporation.
The CorporationStarring: Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky ...
Director: Mark Achbar ...Synopsis:
This documentary charts the spectacular rise of corporations as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our lives. Filmmakers Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott present a timely, entertaining critique of global conglomerates as they chronicle the origins of corporations, as well as their inner workings, controversial impacts and possible futures. The pros and cons are weighed via interviews with social critics such as Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore.
I would recommend everyone make an attempt to watch all of the associated video clips (tedious as it may be; at least all the links are here in one place). Alternatives include renting/buying the DVD (NetFlix, Amazon, IMDB), performing a bittorrent download (approaching 700MB) or searching for another online source. Good luck!**Of course "Business" and "Corporations" serve useful and necessary functions, that's not the issue; it's when our providers and employer's begin to take over every aspect of our lives including our government, then we have a problem.
