Wall Street & Google...A Love Affair?

bankster imagesThe Wall Street Journal is reporting, “U.S. government officials and business leaders were supportive but wary of taking sides in Google Inc.’s battle with China, a sign of the delicate tensions between the growing superpower and the West.”  On the other hand, the Financial Times reports that the Chinese government is calling on American companies operating in China - and there are thousands of them - to practice "self discipline," meaning censoring themselves and their information to not challenge the murderous, brutal dictators who run that communist nation.  And it seems that all the American companies - except possibly Google - are perfectly willing to stay in bed with a violent government that exploits and represses its own people as long as it increases their profits.  Apple, HP, GE, GM - you name it - they're all still in China and they all still have blood on their hands.  All of us do, in fact, as long as we keep putting politicians into office who support so-called "free trade" that makes it possible for these huge corporations to ship American jobs to China.

This is not a love affair, it's more of a gang bang, and Google has been a major stud. The lesser lads continue to line up behind Google in hopes of scoring some more of Google's left overs. As for China and the rest of the global Fortune 50+ players, China is merely reminding them of Madam's house rules.

Let's hope this leads to a nationwide revolt!

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, producer, and environmental activist
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
