BushCo seek to become the nation's superstructure.
Edited on Sun Dec-23-07 04:43 PM by Peake
KBR, Bechtel, Halliburton, etc. have gained tremendously via no-bid contracts and cronyism. They make money cleaning up after destruction, making the new area to BushCo's specifications. BushCo cause the destruction they will be called upon to clean up, so it's a closed system.

Pharmaceuticals and specific religions also gain ground under these new laws. Government regulation is receding, and the corporation as our only choice is increasing. If these corporate entities replace FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, even our military itself (via Blackwater), we're screwed.

The Company Store is looming large. And George Bush and friends are the executive officers. Corporate theocracy isn't an impossible dream.

1. And remember that they love torture. Doesn't bode well for our future.
I just don't think that voting in a Dem President will help (and they've already proven that the voting system is theirs to do with as they please).

Do everything that you can to force impeachment and criminal proceedings.

2. Too much tin foil? I ask readers to consider how much has been done to us in the last 7 years
and if a truly negative agenda on their parts is too far-fetched. Or not.

3. I hope they enjoy it while it lasts
Hitler's empire was about 987 years short of the mark and they are already 8 years into their run.

4. corporate theocracy is a good term
i've never thought of it that way before, but i think it is not beyond the realm of possibilities

they perpetuate a continuous cycle that is beneficial only to them without even a passing thought of how the effects trickle down
