It's not the other way around.
Corporations DO NOT have arms with which to shove in our face to impose their will...but GOVERNMENT not only has seemingly unlimited arms at their disposal, but they are in bed with their willing corporate accomplices for the continuous development of new weaponry for use by government via the Military Industrial Complex.
Corporations don't have arms? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WHO DO YOU THINK PROVIDES ARMS TO THE MILITARY?
The phrase "military-industrial complex" refers to the supply and demand principle of arming the American military. Mostly the Industrial side of the military-industrial complex supplies ALL THE WEAPONRY the military could possibly need or want (and in many cases neither wants nor needs).
Corporations "
shove policy in our faces" by means of government support. It's called the law and it usually comes down on the side of mega-corporations. There is little or no current regulation of these large corporations. The issue of privacy is paramount in society today. Corporations squeeze citizens at every point using the legal means at their disposal. There is little or no regulation of the acquisition retention or use of private data by corporations. There is NO regulation of some of these corporations with regard to their practice of propagandizing the nation.
The word "
USER" is commonly employed to refer to customers of two large industries; the drug trade and software vendors.
How bad does it have to get before Americans realize they're in a trap? I don't think they ever will. Americans are too stupid to understand the danger and too apathetic to do anything about it if they did. We deserve the corrupt government we've got.
"
Americans don't understand what's happening to them." - Pravda
If you think corporations DON'T have arms, try to break into the property of one of them at night and see what happens. I don't recommend it because it's not only illegal but you'll probably get shot by one of their guards (who will not face the consequences of his act).
Americans are in love with blood and violence and war. Watch the TV news and see if it doesn't provide evidence of this. Certainly the talking heads on the TV will bemoan the circumstances of violence, but they will just as readily switch to a human interest story with the same amount of vigor. They simply don't care about accuracy in their stories. I know because I was once one of them. It's policy.
Bottom line here is to repeat that the US government is ruled by three branches of an unelected cadre; the military-industrial complex, the intelligence community and the financial cartel. The elected government is subservient to their desires. I know the danger because I worked for two of them when I was young and stupid.
Next time the reader raises his/her hand to recite the pledge of allegiance try to ask who is your god. Is it the US government you are pledging your allegiance to or is it God who demands 100% of our allegiance.
Its not a 50/50 proposition. You cannot pledge your allegiance to both.
Choose sides.
Bear in mind God wishes to bless while the US government removes our liberties.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
