When you consider that Coke and Pepsi....who specialize in selling colored-sugar-water which rots people's teeth and is of no nutritional value at all, are the two most recognized business icons across the planet Earth, it makes pretty clear how amazing the power of corporate influence is, and how far and wide the tentacles of brigand capitalism have spread.
From "off-shore" tax shelters designed specifically to evade income taxes .....to oil tankers registered in Liberia...to exploiting the 3rd world lack of labor and environmental laws....the facets of this colossal international business conspiracy are too numerous to comprehend much less list here....a heavy blood-drain on the Earth's human and natural resources.
This legal netherworld carefully constructed by the "multinational corporations" is beyond the regulation, law and enforcement of any one country...And now Bush/GOP & Co have placed their corporate cartel sponsors ever further beyond the reach of any law, justice and purview by negating, ignoring and refusing international attempts, such as the United Nations, International Criminal Court, Kyoto Treaty, and all other treaties and accords to bring some coherent, uniform law to the "emerging globalizing" world and all of it's international elements.
There are also some serious reasons to believe that Bush/GOP undertook the whole Iraq (and Afghanistan) invasions/fiasco, in fact used the US military for private enterprise on behalf of the American oil/arms cartel's business interests in the Middle-East, with the purpose of co-opting Iraq's mineral resources and essentially making them, not America, a commanding member of OPEC, all of which violate every international law, treaty, and agreement heretofore known to man, including every item on Bush's list of objections to the International Criminal Court.
(Bonu$$ jackpot!!!) Not that the war hasn't "accidentally" bankrupted the American taxpayer and oil consumer and put the money in the very same pockets).
Americans should think about this after the Bush/GOP criminal cartel, the government they elected themselves, exits next year and leaves behind a pathetic wheezing husk of a friendless United States of America, with American pitted against American, duped and misled, victimized by brigand capitalist multi-nationals and insane Islamic terrorists alike, pillaged and sucked dry of the happiness, hope, prosperity, goodwill, justice, wealth, future, humanity and promise for which it was once admired and envied the world over.
