Did You Ever See A Corporation Vote?

As Hegel well knew, the ascent of reason has never followed a straight line.
Paul A. Baran, The Political Economy of Growth, p. 298

You know the whole world is in deep do-do when the founder of the World Economic Forum stands up in Davos and finally admits right out loud that something is wrong with capitalism! Now you can't knock old Klaus Schwab. The big hoe-down at Davos is not the Bilderberg Group. All the meetings are covered by accredited Press of the vulgar old media and the the hot new media. Why you can catch quite a bit of it on BBC. The conclusion that you have to come to is that old Klaus is at least really trying to make the world a better place, free of the Washington Consensus.

Klaus informs us that capitalism is busted...

Why even Steve Harper of the 'Harper Government' is in attendance. Hoping that he will hit on some strange, near as good looking as that other young ministers wife, what's his name... But he better pay attention to the lectures, he doesn't have a chance in hell of trapping the hot exotic stuff. Even though he is the leader of a 'super power' it is all Wal-Mart clad muffins for him for ever. Of course, as far as the Conservatives are concerned, there is nothing at all wrong with capitalism. We just have to lower costs, i.e. taxes, and dismantle what remains of the Canadian state even quicker! This will make capitalism work better.

The Keystone XL pipeline has recently bitten the dust. The Gateway pipeline  is no doubt soon going to be toast also and shortly. You know it is in trouble when the federal Minister of Natural Resources, one Joe Oliver, sends out letters and press releases shitting over all the legal NGO's and the environmental lobby for showing up at the hearings!  Of course he doesn't mention the presence of the money of big oil and is always very silent of the monster money from the Peoples Republic of China! Yes sir Bubba! It appears that there are a lot of people in public life that are just now discovering the cost of their fulfilled "ricer" fantasies as provided by the Chinese Embassy! With tapes and video to back up their chits, the China-men want results now!

With all the focused attention on serving corporate interests you would swear to God that corporations voted! The Oracle of Ottawa has never missed a chance to vote when he could. But for the life of me, I have yet to see a corporation vote! Have you? Then you have to ask yourself why the 'Harper Government' goes to such lengths and trouble to serve an entity that cannot finance or vote for them in the next election.What ever could be the driving force?

The same malady has descended to us in the City of Ottawa. Instead of standing up to the 'Harper Government' even symbolically, Gentleman Jim Watson the fearless burger of Ottawa has stated in his State of the City report that he is just going to roll-over and cave. Allowing the 'Harper Government' to dismantle the unionized civil service, that will be replaced by the same people working now on  for minimum wage for some scum sucking Calgary contractor! The same is being planned for OC Transpo, as that international sole sourced contract for the great Ottawa "subway" is soon to be awarded, manned forever with cheap Chinese contract workers? Can't happen? Really...

The perfect metaphoric analogy of the current situation of Canada and the City of Ottawa... Just try to watch....

Beef au Bilderberg

All registers which, it is acknowledged, ought to be kept secret, ought certainly never to exist.

We have, as you know, very many economic conferences regularly all over the world. Two that come to mind are the  Doha Debates and the Davos get together sponsored by The World Economic Forum. These are open, in that every thing, if your interested, can be accessed. And they have even  been recently televised. Recently the Davos meeting has been pretty funny to watch, in that the participants, all have, that; you don't know whats going to be next looks on their posh faces. And of course they don't. That is what makes or is supposed to make the game fair and flat; your guess of the future is as good as any one else'. For more on this see the author Andy Kessler, in any of his books....

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke , 2008

Then you have the annual Bilderberg Group meeting. This is secret. The most so called powerful people on earth slink into some posh golf club and / or hotel. More nervous of being spotted then a kiddy diddler on parole outside a playground! What is it with these people?

If your interested who attended recently it is all at Wikipedia. And Wikileaks. Canada and the United States send the prime minister and president. But also the Americans have sent the head of the Federal Reserve. I think Canada has sent the governor of the Bank of Canada. But I have no proof of that.. Also attending these things are merchant bankers or rich Lords bastards that sit on many bank boards.. Now they are sitting listening to your central bank chairman tell them all kinds of juicy bits from research  that your tax dollars paid to compile! Now be a good citizen and ask the most important question:  What is in this for me?

Your central banker is going and dumping all that valuable information to foreign bankers and all the other riff-raff  who sure as hell will be trading off it two seconds after the speaker stops speaking! And if that is not true why is the meeting secret? Why do we as citizens of a free and democratic societies  put up with this? Why should we allow these meetings, a bastard archaic form of star chamber, even occur on the soil of our respective nations? So that information paid for by us the tax payer delivered to scum by our servants paid for by us the tax payer... What is in it for me?

Note the old Canadian flag at 1:15... and that the stadium can still be visited..... Still feel all righteous?
