He quotes an Apple executive who told The New York Times: “We sell iPhones in over a hundred countries. We don’t have an obligation to solve America’s problems.” Monks responds: “This is what greed looks like in the global epoch of corporatism: plunder the Treasury, to be sure, but then deny all sense of responsibility to your country of domicile, outsource all obligations, and, like maggots, set to work destroying the host from inside by exporting its jobs and depleting its revenue sources.”

He then cites Clyde Prestowitz, founder of the Economic Strategy Institute, who wrote that, as a top U.S. government trade negotiator, he went to great lengths to open up the Japanese market for Apple in the early nineteen eighties, adding: “We did all we could and in doing so came to learn that virtually everything Apple had for sale, from the memory chips to the cute pointer mouse, had had its origins in some program wholly or partially supported by U.S. government money.”

 

 

No sequester cut-backs necessary if only Apple paid its U.S. taxes.

Right there's an Edward Jones in every strip mall but what percentage controls the stocks?

 

1. The top ten percent have 81% to 94% of stocks, bonds, trust funds, and business ... as far as the control of income-producing assets, we can say that just 10% of the people ...

www.mybudget360.com/top-1-percent-control-42-percent-of-financial-...‎

Dec 27, 2009 – Many Americans are not buying the recent stock market rally. ... Funny how that correlates with the top 10 percent who control 93 percent of ...

 

 

 

That's old news....

 

it's worse now.....

 

 

Jul 19, 2012 – The study found that the share of wealth held by the top 10 percent ... the relatively few households at the top of the wealth distribution," it states.

 

 

By contrast, the share of total net worth held by the weathiest 1 percent of American households continued rising, hitting 34.5 percent in 2010. The top 10 percent's share was 74.5 percent.

 

 

So it's even worse now....

 

Yet people keep thinking investing in stock market is some mom and pop operations like those Edward Jones mall stores....

 

 

the mean net worth of households in the upper 7% of the wealth distribution rose by an estimated 28%, while the mean net worth of households in the lower 93% dropped by 4%, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly released Census Bureau data.

From 2009 to 2011, the mean wealth of the 8 million households in the more affluent group rose to an estimated $3,173,895 from an estimated $2,476,244, while the mean wealth of the 111 million households in the less affluent group fell to an estimated $133,817 from an estimated $139,896.

At the same time, he cites “three of the biggest bubbles in history.”

“The bond market, stock market and the US dollar” are levitating. (S)omething is going to go. This is possibly one of the riskiest years in Western civilization.”

Combined with police state enforcement and imperial wars, it’s menacing.

Australian economist Steve Keen’s Debtwatch web site “analyses the collapse of the global debt bubble.” He calls America’s stock market a giant one. It’s debt-fueled. Margin debt levels match 2000 and late 2007 highs, he says.

“Nothing can accelerate forever. At some point the acceleration stops, and when it does the market breaks.”

He believes trouble’s coming in one or two years. He thinks America’s stock market will burst the way Japan’s did in the early 1990s.

Financial schemes involve:

• massive wealth transfers from ordinary people to corporate giants and super-rich elites;

• bail in confiscation of assets;

• lawless sanctions, embargoes and blockades;

• schemes to control natural resources, trade and money;

• entrapping nations in unrepayable debt;

• manufacturing financial crises, and more.

Foreclosed Homeowners Arrested at Justice Department Protest for Bank Prosecutions

Dozens of people rallied outside the Justice Department in Washington, D.C., on Monday to protest the government’s failure to prosecute big banks for wronging millions of homeowners. Groups including Occupy Our Homes and the Home Defenders League organized the rally to demand punishment for bank misdeeds ranging from predatory lending to wrongful foreclosures. A group of demonstrators with underwater mortgages helped barricade the Justice Department building’s front doors. At least 17 demonstrators were arrested, but some managed to spend the night outside to continue their protest today.

Guatemalan Court Overturns Genocide Verdict for Ex-Dictator Ríos Montt

Guatemala’s top court has overturned the genocide conviction of former U.S.-backed military dictator Efraín Ríos Montt. In a historic verdict earlier this month, Ríos Montt was sentenced to 80 years for genocide and crimes against humanity in the killings of more than 1,700 Ixil Mayan people in the early 1980s. But in a 3-to-2 ruling Monday, the Guatemalan constitutional court dismissed all the case’s proceedings dating back to a month ago. It was then that the court first annulled the case amidst a dispute between judges over jurisdiction. In the run-up to its latest decision to overturn, the court had come under heavy lobbying from Ríos Montt supporters, including Guatemala’s powerful business association, CACIF. Ríos Montt remains in a military hospital where he was admitted last week. His legal status is now up in the air. He will likely be released into house arrest, and it is unclear when or if he will return to court.

[joeblast]

Yes, and so well that kind of libertarianism, in my view, in the current world, is just a call for some of the worst kinds of tyranny, namely unaccountable private tyranny.

 

this argument is no different than the argument that "capitalism has failed" which entirely neglects that capitalism and the so called free market were subordinated and bastardized long ago.

 

hah, so basically enough socialism in it to make it oligarchical cronyism,

enough capitalism in it to let a handful get preposterously rich with the government's backing (which pretty much neglects those who made riches via hard work, and oddly enough those are the first people demonized in the situation by both the government and those on the collectivist side.)

 

and that equals

 

an endless left-right bitchfest

 

and doesnt address in the least the dynamic that exists between "keeping the fruits of one's labor" and "the government stealing allocating as much as it can as it marches forth on an upward trajectory of centralized control."

 

as if the government doesnt know that its policies to "help" have the net effect of keeping the little man down....we cant have too many people grow up and think for themselves, now. lip service to one thing while the hand behind the back does quite another.

i wont repost up the odessa step scene here, i did post it on the society sucks thread.

i think what needs to happen, or what would be a solution, is;

if genY the millenials can step up and become the next great generation.

they will be the ones deciding if we succumb to corporate power or if the people can wake up

and take back control and liberty.

occupy wall street was the test run, we all saw as the po po wielded the night sticks for the elite.

how shameful was that? attacking peaceful gatherers in a "democracy".

occupy monsanto is the next testing ground.

will genY step up and seize the moment and embrace their destiny?

other generations past have had to step up, it is never easy.

the millennials are the force that can bring change, if they choose.

they have been given every possible distraction devices available by corporate world.

everything hangs in the balance.

there isnt much difference between the 1776 and 1789 revolutions and the 1917 revolution.

in 1989, in romania , ceausescu was the king

all were to get rid of the "king" and restore power to the people.

in each case the people decided en masse to step into the streets and face the tyranny and its thugs.

today the "king" hides in corporate board rooms becoz he is a coward who hires out mercenaries (police/thugs)

to do their dirty work,

and wise enuff to know that the people do hold the power(still, but for how long , if we dont act)

time to step into the next age, one way or the other, and to which age do we step?

one of ever increasing corporate power? or, one of balance?

in 1973 blue oyster cult released their second album titled tyranny and mutation,

sounds like monsanto to me, and monsanto was up and going strong then as now.

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

 

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

 

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

 

Now, put the cold water away.

 

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

 

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

 

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

 

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the "team".

 

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

 

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

 

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

 

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

For one thing, it was partly concerned with taking a country of independent farmers, many of them pretty radical. You go back to the late 19th century, the Farmer's Alliance was coming out of Texas and was the most radical popular Democratic organization anywhere in history, I think. It's hard to believe if you look at Texas today.

And these were independent farmers. They stick up for their rights - they didn't want to be slaves. And they had to be driven into factories and turned into tools for someone else. There's a lot of resistance to it. So a lot of public education was, in fact, concerned with trying to teach independent people to become workers in an industrial system.....

 

One can at least be suspicious that skyrocketing student debt is a device of indoctrination. It's very hard to imagine that there's any economic reason for it. Other countries' education is free, like Mexico's, and that is a poor country.

Finland's, which has the best educational system in the world, by the records at least, is free. Germany's is free. The United States in the 1950s was a much poorer country. But education was basically free: the GI Bill and so on. So there's no real economic reason for high-priced higher education and skyrocketing student debt. There are a lot of factors. And one of them, probably, is just that students are trapped.

The other is what's happening to teachers like you. They're turning into adjuncts, temporary workers who have no rights, you know. I don't have to tell you what it's like, you can tell me.
