The Government get its power from the people. The Government then grants the corporations unlimited power and turns their backs on them, when they do something that is wrong and claim to be doing it for the peoples best interest. The corporations make their own rule and support a dictators actions. The dictators exercise their power in a cruel way. The dictator stands on the supply that both the corporations and Government want. I can connect this to the reading of Resource Wars by Micheal T. Klare, a book about the future of warfare and predicts conflicts that will arise over our most precious resources. I can also connect this to Crude Worlds, a reading that discusses the oil spill in the gulf of Mexico and brings attention to our costs of oil dependence. All these play hand in hand together for one main purpose Oil, and then power, and control. We have rights but no say in what happens. Its like voting and our vote not counting, because the person that the government or corporations want in power will get in power anyway; just because they want them in power. Interesting how Thomas Jefferson, said man is free; but yet we have no power, nor say or control in the big decision making for the country as a whole.
Control is being manipulated. In resource wars Obiang, attended a private Washington luncheon organized by the corporate council in Africa, which was held at a Army and Navy club. Obiang is a dictator, who was invited by the corporations, to sit around a table with the board of directors for the corporations; and the government. In "Fast Food Nation", by Schlosser he mentions how the corporations manager said "our competitors, are our friends (input book page number). The government should not be working with a dictator and corporations to help its citizen. Many would ask how is the government, really helping their citizens out by working with people who exercise their power ruthlessly.A decision for the people was not made by the people, but it was made for the people by the government the corporations and the dictator.
Corporate dominance rule our people. In crude world we have control through influence, the government supports the dictator the dictator supports the corporations the corporations support the government and they all benefit from eachother. This is supposed to be a win win situation, but if the people have no say are not our rights and our voices being manipulated if its the government saying so? Again the bill of rights come in where
We have no control because our government is sitting at a table, with the dictator and corporations influencing government decisions. The government is not sitting at a table with we the people making decisions but them three are. In the citizens united vs. Federal Election campaign advertising are being put up by corporations; but due to the fact that in the case of Kasky vs. Nike the issue of corporate personhood arises. Corporate personhood is an unofficial law that states that corporations are people. This granting them the right as humans in the bill of rights.
They are making the decisions and making us think we have a say in something that happens by giving us the right to vote. But when we vote we are being manipulated into voting for the elector who said the prettiest believable lies, that person also uses the corporations to support their campaigns. Obama got elected because so many were making songs about him our minds were being influenced that Obama was the way. We belived the pretty commercials and the untold lies that are made to be truths
