have corporations overplayed their hand?


Video - RT Big Picture - Have corporations overplayed their hand?

movetoamend |  On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to:
  • Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
  • Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count.
  • Protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate "preemption" actions by global, national, and state governments.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.

Inspired by our friends at Occupy Wall Street, and Dr. Cornel West, Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark the second anniversary of the infamous Citizens United v. FEC decision!

Occupy the Courts will be a one day occupation of Federal courthouses across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday January 20, 2012.
Move to Amend volunteers across the USA will lead the charge on the judiciary which created — and continues to expand — corporate personhood rights.

Americans across the country are on the march, and they are marching OUR way. They carry signs that say, “Corporations are NOT people! Money is NOT Speech!” And they are chanting those truths at the top of their lungs! The time has come to make these truths evident to the courts.

There forth when you use a term used in the Kabbalah, you are using it in the "collective mind" sense for this entity called Corporatism, that generates power that appears occult like or even cabal like? Then terms in English have  the power to express associations, one of its greatest attributes. imho Like flashing of energy being called a ghost?

Ants exhibit high collective intelligence without the benefit of any kind of ghost or eldritch "energy". Poor understanding of science and a tendency toward magical thinking have suggestible and superstitious people bluffed into looking in all the wrong directions for the answers and the understanding that they crave.

Ants are collectively intelligent without the barest hint of a "ghost" in their haplo-diploidy stigmergic machine, just a chemical language sufficiently representative and highly evolved that they've self-organized into super organismic machines. Only one other non-haplodiploidy species exhibits that same characteristic, and that would be these humans. However, these humans have a language vastly more powerful and flexible than the organizing chemical language of the ants.

When the astrologer/alchemist John Dee invented the corporation in the 15th century in service to Queen Elizabeth, I'm quite certain that he knew exactly what kind of an organizing framework he was invoking, and I'm equally certain that he suffered no delusions about flashing energy or any other such distractions.
