The corporatocracy is spreading: India's Great Global Takeover Game. The whole world is being devoured. We need to be Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Neo, Trinity, Nada (another They Live reference), Zorro, Wong Fei Hung, Hamlet, Casper (no, not the friendly ghost). I'm considering throwing down my piece of chalk and becoming a freedom fighter. Or maybe I will just continue to idly oppose the system while eating my Twinkies, watching my The Bachelor and listening to my Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (or whatever other corporate whore is topping the charts). "Or check into a psycho ward--whichever comes first" (Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China).

Be sure to read Christianity, Capitalism, Corporations, and the Myth of Dominion which traces the origins of the evil corporatocracy to the Christian church:

"Then God said 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.'" (Genesis 1:26, King James Version)

This passage and others in the Bible have established a mindset that is now so ingrained in the being the modern democratic capitalist, that it seems a function of heredity. The ancient religious doctrine of dominion, supported by modern concepts of corporate entitlement today validates approaches to resource management that have led economist Herman Daly to observe that we "...treat the earth as if it was a business in liquidation."

Since the founding of the oldest (and still surviving) corporation, the Benedictine Order of the Catholic Church, circa 529 A.D., the economics of exploitation is inextricably linked to the development of the Christian church and its relationship to Western political and economic development; indeed in many cases the church itself was the reason for the exploitation.

Lastly, if you are looking for conspiracies, they are out there: Bilderberg: The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory. Do we stand a chance?
