The Corporate Way in the USA!!!
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 05:09 AM by Knightly_Knews
You have all been fooled, until now that is. America is finally waking up. Well some of them anyways.

The corporate elitists have set us up, and did a fine job at that. Just think how quickly technology has advanced since the early 80's. Cell phones have gotten a lot smaller, and a lot cheaper. They gave us prepaid so you don't need good credit to get a phone. But notice the prices on these phones and bills did not get cheaper until every phone was required to have a GPS tracking device installed.

Then we have computers, in the late 70's it would take a computer the size of a two story house to do what our computers do today. Then after the late 80's computer parts got cheaper, due to outsourcing for one. And, the parts got more advanced and smaller as the years went by. Now we have the capability of surfing the web on our cell phones. Now that everyone can afford these products quite easily the Government plans to use it against us.

We now have the Government trying to control what websites can stay online, which ones we can view, and cannot view. Let us remember that the internet, like LSD, was invented by the Government. You ask why did I throw the LSD comment in there? Well, we will get to that momentarily.

Anyway, the government has always been directly involved in our technological industries. Yes, that turtle faced Bill Gates bastard is employed by our government. As are many other corporate giants. The cell phones we use, the computers we use, the cars we drive, etc., etc all have GPS systems in them. Whether it be Onstar(even if it isn't activated), Cellphone(Does not have to be turned on to track)m and computer(VIA IP Address). You are always tracked.

Credit cards have been made more easily available, even prepaid cards exist. Why? To get you to start using plastic cards as money. The dollar is going to disappear soon. Everything will be trackable in the very near future. Hell, even Bank of America is offering credit cards to illegal US citizens without Social Security Cards. It's big Brother to the extreme.

Corporations are fixated on forcing technology upon us. Not only technologies, but foods and clothings. They get you hooked on a product, and once they have a huge clientelle, they outsource the factory jobs to other countries(ie. China, South Korea, Taiwan) hence increasing the unemployment rates here in the USA.

Now speaking of getting us hooked on products. Many corporations also smuggle drugs into this country.. With the help of the CIA and Customs. You know the good old war on drugs? It's a scam as well. The government and corporations alike make a lot of profit off of the bogus drug war. Especially the war against marijuana. But I will not get into that in this article. Point is, people are arrested for some of the most bogus reasons and thrown into hell for using drugs that are only harming themselves. No treatment is given to most of these users. Only jail time. That is where the corporations come into play. Once you are in jail, you have to pay to be there. The phone companies increased their rates by 1000% for collect calls from any detention facility. Making huge profits off inmates family members(Who are the innocent victims). They even sell name brand food and toiletry items in jail for the right price. Corporate Bullshit once again. Don't get me wrong on this part of the article, I do think DEALERS should do time, just not the users.
Besides I only mentioned this to show the corporate scandal behind it.

The day everyone in America had to have the newest brand of clothing, the best technology money could buy, and saving money at Wal-Mart, is the day America Sold Itself Out! It's the Corporate Way in the USA!

The sad part is that these corporate giants are the ones killing and torturing people around the globe, including the USA, and we still offer to pay for it. You say to yourself:
But, how can I protest without a computer?(Go outside and march the streets)
How do I eat without shopping for low prices?(Grow it. get it locally from markets not Wally World)
How do I run a business without a cell phone?(people did it for 100's of years before they came around)

We decide our future in the products we use, the shows we watch, the places we go, the places we shop, etc. etc. Which future do you choose?

Screw it I am off to Starbucks, have a great day! Maybe I can sip it down before Armageddon begins! :)

2. Thanks..
I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to type that up.. Now that I read it it is kind of jumbled up.. That would be the sleep deprivation kicking in..

But again, thanks, I am happy to be here... Nice hang out!
