Federal Corporation of America…
When President Eisenhower warned us against the Military-Industrial Complex, during his farewell speech, many people focused heavily on the “Military” end of it. Today, the “Industrial” part of that Complex is still oftentimes overlooked, as it works behind the scenes.
The WTO, pharmaceutical companies, lobbyists, and their ilk are the “Industrial” in the Military-Industrial Complex. They are also what Mussolini described as the definition of Fascism. “The merger of State and Corporate power”.
The WTO, through the TRIPS(The Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) agreement, has forced the cost of HIV/AIDS Antiretroviral medication too high for many developing countries that are hard hit with the virus. Anthrax and Avian Flu medication prices were also affected, among others. The WTO’s removal of tariff’s on wood products as well has increased demand for wood furniture and other things, resulting in more and more deforestation.
This is the outcome when Corporations purchase Government approval through lobbying, thus being able to write their own regulations. The people of Seattle, and throughout the world, who protested this blatant Corporate power grab should be applauded. Conversely, the Governments of the world who allowed it, and the Military and Police agencies who enforced it, should be ashamed of themselves, if not punished.
