And my comment was aimed at the 'states rights' argument. Well, that and a joke at the expense of the ignorance that is the far right. Very easy to see if you just, ohh...READ.
The 14th amendment was not passed to protect black people like the people in this video believe. The 14th amendment was passed to convert people who were not "persons" at that time to the status as "persons" or "U.S. persons" who could be given "priviledges" from the government and thus establish an "adhesion" contract without them even knowing it. That's why the war was started in the first place and the slaves were simply used as an excuse to bring it all about. Pure Fraud on all people...
I have an major issue with Corporate power abuse in our system, but the majority of this video seems to be refutted by Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518 (1819). In that this decision predates the 14th amendment and the civil war and is the basis for corporate personhood in the US. I am not saying that this is a just decision....but this film from Canada seems to over look this lynch pin.
Completely off-topic because I have a headache and don't want to strain my brain to make a well-thought-out comment:
I find the narrator's accent fascinating. In the past, I'd heard that Southern American accents and English accents were more closely related than Standard American and English. I'd never really understood it, but to me, this guy's vocal chords sound like the baby of Neil Gaiman and John McCain.
A major evolutionary event occurred around 1970 ... "For the first time in history we had the resources and the know-how to provide for everyone on Earth at a very high standard of living, higher than anyone had yet experienced." - R Buckminster Fuller.
It is no longer a case of 'puling the top down, but now elevating everyone, including the wealthy minority up to a level no one has yet experienced. The context of the game of being human altered irreversibility some forty years ago.
Self serving argumentation and use of the halo effect by association to slavery. "thousands of people died in the civil war" so that corporations could get rights.... ain't that a loaded statement. In the context of the Reconstruction Era, its only natural for a society to redefine its social contracts.
I pledge for a justice system, one where in laywers can manipulate these laws, for their own benefit, How this justice system must be, must be researched by independent scientist and judges, We must research how we can wield corruption out of our systems! #OWS
This is total fallacy, when corporations were state charters things were far worse for the average person because you had to be a connected person to acquire a charter so only wealthy nobles could own a company, now anyone can start one. There may be too many restrictions and still too much government power today, however at-least the average joe CAN start a company.
These people are ignoramuses and are just trying to fear monger.
@AquaMac93 How interesting that you fail to draw the important distinction between a company and a corporation. A corporation is a very specific business structure that is legally considered a "person" like you or me whereas a company is a business that can have several types of organization, ex., individual ownership, partnership, etc. Given the pervasiveness of corporate influence in modern life, it only makes sense that we should understand their impact on society, wherever that may lead.
@otherside65 Certain companies can out-compete others, but that's exactly what is supposed to happen. If you are infering that somehow "big mean corporations use their 'power' and 'force' to 'disable' smaller ones", then you are neglecting that company's have no force (government is a monopoly on force). No one forces you yo buy McDonalds after all. And regardless, if a company does use force or fraud it is the legitimate job of the government to prosecute those responsible. Hence the courts.
No one went to jail when the mortgage crisis hit and those responsible made millions/billions and fucked the economy for many countries. Their only excuse is that it is LEGAL As for corporations not being tangled up in government, one clear example is Dick Cheney and that retard who was president. You got owners of ARMS and OIL running the country and your finances handled by former CEOs of GOLDMAN SACHS- billion dollar white sycophants who stepped on every1 to get on top run superpower USA?
@Chimerica1 that isnt irony, irony is like sarcasm. If you said "im glad i can watch this in a corporate free environment" that would be irony. I think they made a good point though, corporations are so big and all around us now its hard to escape them. Even if you are the most anti corporation person out there, you will be forced to participate at some point. Pretty sad.
It's crazy.. They're passing a new law now that we cant even grow our own crops. I'm moving to Canada... don't want to be here for the next American Revolution.
@animelegacy you cant grow your own crops? where do you live? There has to be a logical reason as to why you cant, it wouldnt make sense otherwise. The government gives financial assistance to farmers, they want people growing food.
@YourLoveLetter I live in NYC. Senate bill S510 which makes it illegal for us to grow any type of food has already been passed. The only thing that needs to be done is the president to sign it..
@animelegacy You actually have room to grow crops in NYC?? lol. I think cities are less likely to let that happen, in seattle they warned people against it, only because i guess the soil wasnt ideal for growing clean food, there was something toxic in it from just being in an urban environment. They allow people to keep backyard chickens though for eggs.
@animelegacy I looked it up to see what the catch was, its not making it illegal to grow your own food. They are just trying to get people who grow and sell crops to be held to higher standards and to be able to hold them accountable if they make people sick etc. Probably some licensing involved stuff like that. It will never be illegal for us to grow a private garden. It will probably hurt small time farmers who sell stuff at farmers markets though.
@YourLoveLetter It will be illegal for anyone to grow crops. Stop having so much faith in the government. It is already illegal to own rain water in some states. Rain water.. water that falls from the sky it is illegal to have. Because " It belongs to someone".
@animelegacy it wont be illegal lol. I already looked into it, its a food safety bill only for those who sell their crops. If you are that worried call your local representative they will explain it to you. In WA state we are allowed to grow up to 15 marijuana plants, you think they wouldnt allow us to grow food? And I also just looked up the rain water thing because it said WA was one of the states, but it says its only illegal if you dont have a permit.
@YourLoveLetter Why should I have to get a permit to get something that nature provides? This is still bull shit and they're taking away our freedom little by little.
@animelegacy its definitely stupid, but thats with everything now days, you have to get a permit to do pretty much any big projects on your property or house. In some places you cant even cut down trees without permission. I didnt say its a great system, i just wanted to be clear that those things are not actually illegal.
Let me just clear this up for the idiots i don't think any has claimed that all corporations of any level must be destroyed. We are not the Khmer Rouge. We just believe that corporations should be regulated and primarily limited in the amount of influence they have on the democratic system..... If you think that makes me a Maoist, Socialist, or a communist it's because your beyond incapable of grasping the subject
@akscidn lol oh come on and missiles hit the WTC and the commercialization of christmas is a marketing scheme for companies to make more money.... oh wait that last one is true. Just because some crazy guy made a documentary doesn't make him right. Besides, he's not going to show evidence that disagrees with his point even a little.
@Chimerica1 all structures have weaknesses, all designs have flaws...the inevitability of our fallability.
There is no one way... all styles... no styles...
Soon If not now... we will have an All powerful Artificially Intelligent Overseer with an infinite amount of Henchmen. Inevitably some of us will learn to manipulate this monster against its masters.
It will end in checkmate or stalement as it so often does and then the pieces will be reset...
But the "principle of charity" when engaging in conversation states that "We should interpret one's argument in the most intelligible way possible" and in this sense I would say that he probably feels sorrow for the atrocities Iraqi people went through.

Ever hear of the virginia company????
Maybe you should look it up, because you know about James town. It was funded by the Virginia company.
Corporations were pushed in America by Yale (and other skull & bones illuminai) to undermine the previous American system of rule. And was intended to get us addicted to easy money, only to crush us for defiance 200 years ago.
@nero8289 Those people should have the same rights we all have. They should not have those same rights and additional rights as a corporate entity. That gives them double rights.
Pretty accurate with the running comparisons but also with the exception of a history lesson as to why exactly the civil war was fought in the first place.
We need to reinstate these "Charters" that limit corporations. WHY THE FUCK NOT?! Honestly i see nothing wrong with a corporation serving ONLY within its Community... Or at the very most, its state
What a bunch of lying morons, The Corporations weren't guaranteed rights, it was the people who owned them. Their money was their property and they had the right to dictate how it was spent and used. This is pure progressive bs, Liberalism ruined this country, democrats of the south held slaves, and also fought to segregate them. Woodrow Wilson segregated the masses. It was those evil conservatives that freed them and ended segregation. History is written by the villians.
@stoltzmans DO SOMETHIN THEN fix the food first!!!spread organic heirloom food seed far and wide, its called"johnny appleseed economics"or"gorrila gardens",spread more organic food than GMO and you will water down the effects and if everyone becomes self suffcient at their homes it will stop GMO right in its tracks,if there is enough people it will save our food system,thats how you win! wake up everyone,do your part if u are angry,get seed and SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE TELL OTHERS
@stoltzmans HA Ha..What a fuckin idiot. Every thought in your simple little brain was planted by the same big global money that owns you and your fake god and religion you ignorant little sheep. You and your non-thinking like are the problem with America jackass...
why did we have to pass an amendment for that, why weren't they granted those rights to begin with? i swear humanity is a bunch of fuking greedy morons.
Typical AVERAGE fucking americans, dumb as shit and think they know everything.
Most of you dumb cunts are probably on a Macbook on Youtube (Google). Which was purchased through a credit card loan through Visa, which you got from Bank or America. You probably got to the bank in your Mazda 6 and stopped for Mcdonalds on the way. Needless to say, you probably paid for gas and bought a pack of smokes or a soda.
If you don't see whats ironic about that, your probably American.
The focus on how corporations were only formed once given permission by the government is asinine. The real problem is the limited liability and our rigged securities and banking system. not the freedom of individuals to form contractual relationships or businesses. Sorry, when Noam Chomsky is front and center, I know it's going to not favor freedom. Imagine AIG's shareholders were liable for the downside of the deals AIG Financial Products - that they all had to pay up until they were bankrupt.
as i see it, the 14th was designed as protection for corporations only.
and the use of the word person proves it (legal fiction).
the 14th was nothing more than a deceptive marketing scheme, pretending to help black rights all the while the only intention was increasing corporate legal power.
if there had been a real concern about black rights, the declaration had already
I see your point, but the word "person" was being used then, as it is now. YES it reffers to us as "units" or "stock", if you like - ALL of us, white and black. But the monarchy who introduced thsi term did not call us "eaters" or "cattle" or any of the terms used by the corporation big wig bullies.
The monarchy's ONLY interest was keeping power - they would be VERY happy to be nice to us, if we would be happilly nice, back. Imagine YOU in total control.

@jamesa4050 i would like to amend my previous comment to say that i am happy with this video in that it did help my view to be a little clearer about the nature of the corporation. my rant is based on my idea that changes in the law are many times intended to favor corporate power and the 14th is an example of this.
Every Black person should watch this video. This is a very informative documentary. It gave great insite into how Corporations have ruined many of the things we hold dear. How from the time of reconstruction we have let judges strip us of rights and give them to corporations and we have folded. Now they want the right to vote.

It's disingenuous. The FACT is, this made all PERSONS legal entities; where FEDERAL rights & duties could be ascribed to the human flesh & blood man.
Before the 14th Amendment there were free men of their respective home DeJure States, after Its passage ALL men became CORPORATE creatures of the FEDERAL STATE. This film while telling some truth, is a controlled opposition effort.
What they whitewash over is paramount to a proper understanding of the truth of control. watch?v=X6b4YrXayzE
Both the Civil war and Iraq and Afghanistan were all sold to the people as an act of enforcing human rights. Anyone that believes it was true in either case is a fool, or just hasn't bothered to learn the facts.
@classicalgarse When i was young, i joined the Navy and then the Iraq war happened. The first one, back in 1991 - desert strom. I was quick to figure out that this was a sham. We were told Sadom was evil. But it was painfully obiouvs that we were there for oil companies. I wanted to defend our courty, not some oil CEO's forgien investments. It was sad that the government put the troops lives on the line for this bullshit. Who does the government actually serve ? Not us, not the common man !.
@flubno USA is the largest oil consumer in the world. Steal oil from poor and weak countries like Iraq is essential. The Gulf war and the new war against Iraq was necessary to maintain the good standard of living of Americans.
@WarmongerWW3 Yes, but why don't they just come out and say that. They have to come up with a beautiful lie to sell to the people. If people were told the truth, no one would buy it. Especially when the bodies start to pile up. So that's what we get, goofy spin for stupid people. I forgot to mention that we got paid less than minimum wage while we were over there, while corporations made big profits.
@flubno It's really great how I go to school & hear little kids screaming about war and we HAVE to keep bombing them, and we CAN'T bring our troops back...when in all actuality, all we're doing is robbing those people, killing them, and thinking it's okay. I'm sorry you had to go through so much. I HONOR the fact that you were willing to serve our country. Thank you.
@WarmongerWW3 Okay, if one day, you get attacked by a gang who does all sorts of horrible things to you and leaves you with nothing but an inch of your life, I hope you change your thinking.
Not saying WE did that to them, but it's the same principle.
That line of thinking is classic school-boy bully. And it's ridiculous. And there is NO excuse for such ignorance.
@ForgetToFallDown Wow, don't you see the fallacy in your comment? You say how your country is robbing and killing those people and thinking it's okay, and you lament how children seem to condone such actions. Then you thank a soldier for serving his country. How exactly did he "serve" his country? Where exactly is the honour if they are killing and robbing people?
@schnabby Well, firstly, I love your profile picture. V for the win, right? xD But secondly, I think there's a fine line between pointless murder and fighting for our rights. Gandhi once said "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." and I think that puts it the best. Fighting for what you believe in is much different than robbing and killing. It's more the government's actions, not the soldiers'. Just my 2 cents
@ForgetToFallDown I guess I can agree with that and to be honest I didn't expect such an insightful answer. I was expecting to get a load of abuse from people. Seems I was wrong! Kudos to you!
@flubno because of you Iraq is still on the US dollar, and they sell their oil on the US dollar. Because of you Fed is in essence controlling the oil prices.
Considering US get majority of their oil from foreign imports, controlling the price of import has significant impact on the "common man"'s life.
I have no respect for people like you, you say you knew it was sham and you felt sad because "the government put the troops lives on the line for this bullshit" yet you don't even say anything about the hundreds of thousands of iraqis which your government killed for "this bullshit". you're just a white supremacist, you think american lives and worth more than brown peoples lives.
@ahmed337799 Okay normally I wouldn't feed into a YouTube argument, but your comment was so despicable I find myself obligated to. 1st, nowhere in his comment does he say that he feels that American lives are worth more than Iraqi's. 2nd nowhere in his comment does he say that he is white, which implies your own prejudice towards a specific racial group. 3rd you misinterpreted a well thought out comment on an order of fucking magnitude..........
anyone who ignores the hundreds of thousands of iraqis who died while crying for a few hundred americans who died in the same war, obviously believes american lives are worth more than iraqis. yes i have prejudice but not against white people, i just consider america a white country.
@ahmed337799 I dont think he meant that Iraqi lives are less important than Americans. His argument is that he felt betrayed that his Government would risk his life to guard oil reserves and tell him that they are there to help Iraqi people.
Ofcourse ii was not the point he was trying to make, but subconciously you know it's true, why else can someone ignore those poor iraqis and complain about american lives?
@ahmed337799 4th the ad hominem attack about him being a "white supremacist" shows your own intellectual defect and your lack of ability for making a cogent argument. What attack can someone who is not of European descent use towards one that is? Call him a racist. This overused and ignorant attack is really quite pathetic. What I, and probably the majority of people, interpreted his comment to be was that U.S. government is in favor of corporations and not the people.
When you value American lives over Iraqi lives, then you're a racist in my book.
And I explained to you that ignoring the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died in a war while complaining about a few hundred Americans getting killed implies that American lives are worth more than Iraqis lives.
@ahmed337799 I see. I believe that most American people do consider the devastation of Iraqi lives, but maybe not as much as Americans. But this isn't due to a feeling of supremacy, but more as a lack of understanding. The U.S. has not had a war fought on it's land for a long time so people don';t see the devastation it causes. Also the media is filtered, and only shows bits and pieces of the real story. But nonetheless I can't argue for American ignorance.
@flubno The most heroic thing you can do now is spread this video on. Give copies of the DVD to trick or treaters and students. Go to schools and talk about your experiences.
Although, with the flack you might get from speaking out, you might just earn a Purple Heart!
@flubno thumbs up yet if you are capable of seeing beyond the Veil of Greed then you only lack the understanding of PEAK OIL to have a clear view of the big picture.
You will then understand the Carter doctrine, our particular predicament, our inability to POWER DOWN, our very real addiction to POWER in all forms and those who will do nothing but profit as we make some here to be seen transition to other energy sources whatever they may or may not be!
@Talentz92 Exactly, than why do we fight for people who openly let it be known that they don't give a flying fuck about you. It's wierd, are we that easlily lead around by the nose ? Are people that simple minded that they came be manipulated by the media or a pre meditated act of viloence designed to push you in a direction the rich want you to go ?
@flubno Of course not. They dont give a damn about you. They serve the international bankers who own the PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE in america which is systematically bankrupting your country. Watch the documentary money masters.
you guys are morons. why shouldn't a corporation be allowed to own property? if you can pay for it, you can own it whether you're a person, a corporation, or a robot in the future
@gman1876 a corporation is a dead thing it can not own anything. it has no commercial energy, only humans. If you knew how corporations were set-up, you'd know this, fact. There are always personal names as Officers of any corp, this is what imbues a corp with commercial energy, you are the Moron, a CORPORATE one to boot. see here slave: watch?v=X6b4YrXayzE
@Signzit no dumbass, a corporation or business should be able to and can own things. so you are obviously the dumbass. enjoy your shitty life getting run down by people who make the system work for them
@gman1876 Before you call people morons, find out what the PROBLEMS with corporations are. Chumps who like the status quo abound in the USA. A product of the inferior system you have exported world wide.
A person can go to jail and lose his/her assets. Corporations can dodge this and cause misery, just on the safety side of things. Strangling businesses, owning politicians, fucking the legal system etc. is YOUR problem too.
@ahilleary1 That's great that you don't buy it, but guess what? The government does. They're the ones that made the rule more than century ago. Unfortunately your opinion has no legal standing in the matter.
anyone's loyalty and opinions and morals can be changed by a few million peices of paper. The corporation and the federal reserve bank is designed to keep you enslaved, and keep you coughing up your hard earned money. Most people don't know that or refuse to believe it, they think if they just keep doing what they are doing everything will be alright, but thats not the point, the point is is that freedom is at jeopardy, and that is what the United States stands for. This wont change anytime soon
This is so fuckin sad, thats why fight my ass off when I go to the court house with these assholes, judges are criminals & the lawyers that work for them.
The merger of the corporation and government is the foundation of fascism and it is happening right now. Freedom of speech is an illusion as slippery as freedom of thought. In the UK the big society is the instigation of the little nation. You the little people have enough insecurities and petty bigotry to do the business of the state and it will be wrapped up in a nice little parcel with a ribbon on which states, 'Remember we are all in this together.' as they extract ever more capital...
This video is SO disturbing! And I'm only on part 2 of 23! I've gained a whole new perspective on the saying, "Its not personal its business" BULL everyone should understand just how personal this really is. Especially when it involves your loved ones and their well being.
We all see that the world is fucked. Going on about it won't stop it. There must be a peoples movement away from this morally, socially and economically bankrupt system before it is to late. We must see what the problems exist at our root and rebuild our society on a healthier foundation . There is such a movement. It is called the zeitgeist movement and is the communication arm of the Venus project. Get started by typing 'zeitgeist addendum' into google. 'Fear is your only god' RATM. Peace.
Don't blame the coorporations, we should blame ourselves. It's our greed and our hunger for comfort in the form of cars, houses, junkfood, electronics,... that give burth to these coorporations. It's just economics Supply and Demand. We are the demand and the coorporation is the supply. Without us consumers there would be no such big coorporations who feed out of the hunger of consumers.
@delii83 then who do we rely on for food and water? our selves? you cannot simply strike the corporations out of your life and say you will live off of your self. Rules and regulations must be put in place to stop these corporations from doing what ever they damn well please!
@TheSpartanPhalanx Now you are putting words in my mouth. Either you didn't comprehend my opinion, because 1. you are ignorant or 2. you are in denial. I was talking about luxury articles, not food and water. You don't need luxury to survive. Well I ask you, where do you go and buy your luxury articles? Is it at an expensive little shop around the corner or at a big mall? It think you go to the second one just like the rest of the world.
@delii83 woah spaz no need to get aggressive. it was a simple question. no need to be a tight ass about it. and watch the rest of the documentary and you will know what these corporations are doing to people. governments can't do jack shit outside of their own land.
@delii83 That is only partially true. Go back to the 1950's. There was NONE OF THIS on the television or in newspapers. The truth about so many things has become readily available only in the last 20 years or so. Back then, why would anyone even question that IBM supported Hitler unless they directly worked for IBM? The key though NOW is knowing that mankind is utterly incapable of ruling ourselves without harming each other. No matter the governmental system, they are ALL CORRUPT.
The most important lesson this expose should teach us is that it's not about politics, philosophy or whatever...it's about "balance of power". There is nothing designed into capitalism that checks corporate power and it is spinning out of control as we watch these videos. You think the Catholic Church was bad? Hold onto your socks baby!
288 :19, well that seems reasonable considering the fact that a corporation concerns a collective number of people. When you have an organization that concerns the affairs of hundreds maybe thousands of people, you're definitely more likely to get into a dispute. Where as the individual alone is less likely to get into a legal dispute. Is that not reasonable?
We need to do now what should have been done in the 1890's. We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to clarify once and for all that corporations are NOT people, and set corporate restrictions into the highest law in the land.
.
Abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics.
We are all capable of being the driving mechanism for mankind to evolve without need of money or external prioraties. We are all one, please try to see this as a message. Because heaven is where we are, not where we will go to. Life is abundant, and until YOU see that, we will have to wait for you to enter earths purposeful frequency. (although we are probably already in it)
it So Fucked up that a bunch of greedy, Ugly, Evil, Selfish Men people took advantage of the 14th amendment Ment to Help Slaves JUST to re-enslave the population In their own way.
We need to roll back the clock on corporate law, and restore the restrictions that existed prior to the Civil War. However, in order to do that we will need an Amendment to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and write corporate restrictions directly into the constitution.

These people are ignoramuses and are just trying to fear monger.

@AquaMac93 How interesting that you fail to draw the important distinction between a company and a corporation. A corporation is a very specific business structure that is legally considered a "person" like you or me whereas a company is a business that can have several types of organization, ex., individual ownership, partnership, etc. Given the pervasiveness of corporate influence in modern life, it only makes sense that we should understand their impact on society, wherever that may lead.

@otherside65 Certain companies can out-compete others, but that's exactly what is supposed to happen. If you are infering that somehow "big mean corporations use their 'power' and 'force' to 'disable' smaller ones", then you are neglecting that company's have no force (government is a monopoly on force). No one forces you yo buy McDonalds after all. And regardless, if a company does use force or fraud it is the legitimate job of the government to prosecute those responsible. Hence the courts.

@animelegacy I looked it up to see what the catch was, its not making it illegal to grow your own food.

It will never be illegal for us to grow a private garden. It will probably hurt small time farmers who sell stuff at farmers markets though.

The focus on how corporations were only formed once given permission by the government is asinine. The real problem is the limited liability and our rigged securities and banking system. not the freedom of individuals to form contractual relationships or businesses. Sorry, when Noam Chomsky is front and center, I know it's going to not favor freedom. Imagine AIG's shareholders were liable for the downside of the deals AIG Financial Products - that they all had to pay up until they were bankrupt.

i am not happy with this video and here is why:
as i see it, the 14th was designed as protection for corporations only.

if there had been a real concern about black rights, the declaration had already
proclaimed: all men created equal.

Gandhi once said "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." and I think that puts it the best. Fighting for what you believe in is much different than robbing and killing. It's more the government's actions, not the soldiers'. Just my 2 cents

@ahmed337799 I see. I believe that most American people do consider the devastation of Iraqi lives, but maybe not as much as Americans. But this isn't due to a feeling of supremacy, but more as a lack of understanding. The U.S. has not had a war fought on it's land for a long time so people don';t see the devastation it causes. Also the media is filtered, and only shows bits and pieces of the real story. But nonetheless I can't argue for American ignorance.

Don't blame the coorporations, we should blame ourselves. It's our greed and our hunger for comfort in the form of cars, houses, junkfood, electronics,... that give burth to these coorporations. It's just economics Supply and Demand. We are the demand and the coorporation is the supply. Without us consumers there would be no such big coorporations who feed out of the hunger of consumers.

@delii83 then who do we rely on for food and water? our selves? you cannot simply strike the corporations out of your life and say you will live off of your self. Rules and regulations must be put in place to stop these corporations from doing what ever they damn well please!

@TheSpartanPhalanx Now you are putting words in my mouth. Either you didn't comprehend my opinion, because 1. you are ignorant or 2. you are in denial. I was talking about luxury articles, not food and water. You don't need luxury to survive. Well I ask you, where do you go and buy your luxury articles? Is it at an expensive little shop around the corner or at a big mall? It think you go to the second one just like the rest of the world.

@delii83 That is only partially true. Go back to the 1950's. There was NONE OF THIS on the television or in newspapers. The truth about so many things has become readily available only in the last 20 years or so. Back then, why would anyone even question that IBM supported Hitler unless they directly worked for IBM? The key though NOW is knowing that mankind is utterly incapable of ruling ourselves without harming each other. No matter the governmental system, they are ALL CORRUPT.

The most important lesson this expose should teach us is that it's not about politics, philosophy or whatever...it's about "balance of power". There is nothing designed into capitalism that checks corporate power and it is spinning out of control as we watch these videos. You think the Catholic Church was bad? Hold onto your socks baby!

288 :19, well that seems reasonable considering the fact that a corporation concerns a collective number of people. When you have an organization that concerns the affairs of hundreds maybe thousands of people, you're definitely more likely to get into a dispute. Where as the individual alone is less likely to get into a legal dispute. Is that not reasonable?

What you may not realize is the State is repsonsible for all the corporations and big business in America and any other country.

We need to do now what should have been done in the 1890's. We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to clarify once and for all that corporations are NOT people, and set corporate restrictions into the highest law in the land.
.
Abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics.

We are all capable of being the driving mechanism for mankind to evolve without need of money or external prioraties. We are all one, please try to see this as a message. Because heaven is where we are, not where we will go to. Life is abundant, and until YOU see that, we will have to wait for you to enter earths purposeful frequency. (although we are probably already in it)

We need to roll back the clock on corporate law, and restore the restrictions that existed prior to the Civil War. However, in order to do that we will need an Amendment to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and write corporate restrictions directly into the constitution.
