Humanity is caught between corporations and ineffective and corrupt government. Some corporations act more like the Mafia than companies. They will use any tactic including bribery, extortion, murder, overt lies, deception to achieve their greed driven objective. Governments and political leaders have been intimidated, threatened and bribed, to give these marauding pirates what they want. Corporations even have their own government which protects their interests above the government of the people. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization all force government of the people to comply to their demands or pay the consequences. The sad and ironic part in all this is that these corporations have funded their toxic and diabolic work with our money. Money we have earned has been invested in companies through the stock market and used to destroy our freedom, our health and the planet.
Here are a few things that should be done to make change in our country and the world
1. Corporate Crime and Corruption
– we need new laws to make directors and officers of companies criminally responsible for their actions
– we need enforcement agencies specifically for corporations
– we need to educate people in all positions of responsibility about the harm, consequences, and options they have if confronted with bribery, or intimidation.
– we need to increase the penalties for these type of crimes to reflect the damage done to the country and the people.
– we all need to understand that taking a bribe, or giving benefit for benefit is treason because it destroys the country.
2. Political, Bureaucratic, Judicial Accountability
The peace and prosperity we enjoy is directly connected to the ethical behavior of these institutions.
– we need new laws to make politicians, bureaucrats, and judges criminally responsible for their actions
– we need structural revisions to make these agencies easier to monitor and more accountable for their actions
– we need enforcement agencies (police agency) specifically to investigate claims of misuse of power in government
– we need to educate people in all positions of responsibility about the harm, consequences, and options they have if confronted with bribery, or intimidation.
– we need to increase the penalties for these type of crimes to reflect the damage done to the country and the people.
– we all need to understand that taking a bribe, or giving benefit for benefit is treason because it destroys the country.
3. We need to develop a strategy to regain political autonomy. That means restructuring debt, and choosing to mitigate the negative impact of trade agreements in particular NAFTA and the policies of WTO.
4. We need new laws that repeal the interpretation of law by a few judges to allow the patenting of life forms.
5. Corporations must be responsible for their actions in particular genetic pollution and contamination. They are liable and accountable and must compensate those who they cause harm to, rather than the other way around. This is a distortion of justice.
6. Genetically modified foods and other additives must be tested before and proven beyond doubt that they are safe before being introduced into the food system. The protocol of scientific procedure for approval can not be superseded by the political or bureaucratic branch of government. All manufactured products which enter food, air and water directly or indirectly which can not demonstrate via independent study that they are safe must be assessed. If and when they are approved, they must be labeled giving each person the right of choice when using the product.
7. We must protect the production of food in this country as a national security measure. Subsidized products from other countries must not be allowed to destroy the domestic food production industry. Government incentives to grow food locally and personally must be introduced to remove our dependence on the multi-national corporations control of food production
8. The policy of “intensification” which makes it near impossible for a family to own agricultural land and grow their own food only supports the agenda of multi-national corporations and their objective to control all food production. This policy must be changed to provide access to agriculture land to anyone.
