Are corporations becoming the new government

Corporations operate at the local and global level thereby heavily influencing national and global policy.

Corporations control energy thereby controlling its availability and use.

Corporations control the development and use of technology, thereby heavily influencing what technology is in use, how the economy is structured and how it operates.

Corporations control the generation of finance, thereby exerting extensive control over its availability and application.

Corporations control the media thereby exercising extensive control over what the masses see, hear, read and therefore what they know and what they think.

Corporations control the production, availability and quality of food and water thereby exerting extensive control over the heath of whole populations of people.

Corporations control health care and medicine thereby exercising extensive control over the health or otherwise of entire nations and regions.

Corporations control smart meter technology thereby heavily control the behavior of households in ways the corporations desire. Smart meters enable corporations to punish individual households without impacting neighbours or the whole street.

Corporations are self interested therefore they hold self-centered objectives.

Corporations are unelected and therefore wield unelected power.

Corporate power determines national and international policy thereby rendering national governments to mere implementers of corporate defined policy.

Corporate power has relegated government power to 2IC status

Yes, ... and how we all know that money talks.

Question is, will things get better or worse?

After the worlds population has been reduced to about 500 million, will the corporate govt be tempted to reduce the population to it about 250 million because the same structures and the same values will still be in place.

Having got rid of all the rubbish that claim welfare, that means there will be commensurately less people in the shark tank who all have the same goal in mind - to own the whole world and every thing and person in it.

With corporations running the world and making all the rules, they will eventually succumb to the temptation to reduce it again.

This time, they decide to get rid of all the lowest 20 - 30% by cleaning them all out financially. That will turn all those worth up to about $50m into dole bludgers overnight and they cant have people bludging off them so they have them put down.

Some years later they succumb to the temptation to reduce the competition again because its getting hotter and hotter in the kitchen, so they financially take out the bottom 20-30% who are worth about $100 million and turn them into dole bludgers too but no, we are not having them bludging off us so they have to go too.

10  years later the sharks in the tank decide to financially take down those who are worth only about $500 million or so, so they take them out and turn them into dole bludgers too, but hey, we are not going to have them living off us so lets get rid of them too.

5 years later and because the same values and dynamics are still in play, once again they succumb to the temptation to take down all those worth only 1 or 2 $billion  and so over night they turn them into dole bludgers to so they have to be put down to.

2 years later and because the same values and dynamics are still in play, they again  succumb to the temptation to take down all those worth only 100 $billion or so, so they take down ...........

I think you can see where this is going.

Your forgetting one thing Ausk.
The rich and Old need Organ Donors.
It's a Huge Buisiness.
I read once that Tel Aviv does the most Transplants of any hospital in the world.
Let's try and stop the forced movement into mega cities first.

corporations don't exist per se.

They are owned by "families" who hide behind corporate liability. Its these families that are shafting everybody.

A corporation, as we know it, is purely a vehicle to protect the occupants.

I wonder why I am not surprised to hear that Tel Aviv does the most Transplants of any hospital in the world? I wonder if they use Jewish body parts?

Not so long ago I read that China is the biggest supplier of body parts in the world and on other occasions i've read they have some very harsh criminal laws.

I recently read on a site, in aus, regarding the likely hood of war against Russia and what that would mean for china, that due to China's one child polciy, there are some 20,000,000 men who will never marry. (girls were not popular babies.)

If they are the worlds leading supplier of body parts and 20,000,000 males will never marry, then we can see why a lot of offences carry the death penalty.

Mind you; car crashes account for a bit of the supply too.

The zionist child killing thieves routinely abduct Palestinian children and use the organs of the 800+ children, some 5 years old and younger, currently incarcerated in military prisons where they are also sexually abused/tortured/murdered.
