It isn’t Vietnam that is the model for Iraq…it is Enron.

In the past I looked to Vietnam for similarities...then it dawned on me, it wasn’t Vietnam that Iraq should be compared with; it is Enron. Like Enron, the CEO and senior management of this country puffed the stock for a bad war. It should come as no surprise, since we have turned the control of our government and society over to the MBAs and Corporate Elite.

There is no longer any goal other than profit. They will puff the magic words of democracy, human rights and justice so that the country will follow them, but when we get to the bottom, the bottom will be profits.

Private property and the quest for actualization of profits has become our highest virtues. If the current philosophy and ethic followed today’s corporate business leaders had been prevalent in the 40s Americans would now be speaking either Japanese or German.

We don’t have to worry about foreign terrorist, there are many among the corporate world that would do perform the service for the right price. What we now need to worry about are the American Milo’s.

And great Catch-22 reference, BTW.

Milo's planes were a familiar sight. They had freedom of passage everywhere, and one day, Milo contracted with the Amercian military authorities to bomb the German-held highway bridge at Orvieto and with the German military authorities to defend the highway bridge at Orvieto with antiaircraft fire against his own attack. His fee for attacking the bridge for America was the total cost of the operation plus six percent, and his fee from Germany for defending the bridge was the same cost-plus-six agreement augmented by a merit bonus of a thousand dollars for every American plane he shot down.

They just don't need to make the effort to hide the fact.

I think the best way to start is to get rid of the concept of corporate personhood. There are probably ways to do this if enough of us band together. I have started studying the issue and thinking of ways to proceed. Any ideas?

Take control of the shareholders meeting, snowball the outside board, buy in using junk bonds, golden parachute old managment team, cashcow reserves, layoff workforce, offshore production, spin off profit centers, liquidate assets, declare bankruptcy, move on to next hostile acquisition target.

Hey, that's their game plan for America, too!

There are many, even on "our side" that refuse to believe that * and his cronies are about money, period. That is their motivation. They seek to enrich themselves. There is no higher purpose or common good for them. They want more money. I seriously think we need to face this, because it makes it much easier to fight the bastids.
