TV Ontario

I had a chance to listen to TV Ontario. It is a Canadian television station. The station offers excellent information. Here are some examples that Americans will never see on American television stations.

Planet Inc.

Corporations and people make money during crises, such as war, corporate corruption, etc. Corporations are benefiting themselves against the common good. Privatization takes from the public trust and gives to corporations and influential people. Our lives will be at the mercy of these corporations and the powerful money people. The powerbrokers are interested in private ownership for everything on this planet, such as water, air, land, forests, etc. You will have to pay the corporation for everything.

Corporations want mindless consumers and advertising attempts to control the mindless consumer. Corporations are not good apostles. They are predators. Shareholders want money and not corporate apostles. Corporations advertise a way of life and not a product.

Corporations encourage tax cuts, tax havens, and avoidance of taxes. Every part of our planet will be parceled to corporations.

You cannot patent life and yet, the Supreme Court ruled that you can patent life. Life, today, is a utility to be patented by corporations and research companies, such as cloning and gene alterations. Moral issues are of no concern to corporations.

The Federal Drug Administration goes along with corporations regardless of the research findings. Corporate ownership will broadcast anything and everything they want whether or not the information or research is factual for people and their health. Corporations want profits and not health.

The Battle

Television Ontario (TVO) had a series on television entitled, “The battle for the world economy”. Globalization is tying the world together. Trade is an issue. Foreign governments want free trade because it means jobs for the foreign worker and fewer jobs for the America worker. Thirty percent of the information engineers are from India. There are two hundred thousand Indian engineers in Silicon Valley. Economic reforms lifted three hundred million Chinese out of poverty. America needs economic reforms to bring our citizens out of poverty. Why can’t we lift millions of Americans out of poverty? Why do Americans refuse to help other Americans? Why can’t America have economic reforms?

The second part of the battle for the world economy discusses the question, “Is terrorism the dark side of globalization?” The global economy has problems that ripple across all countries. Quick economic reforms are necessary to avoid a crisis. Cheap labor overseas causes problems in America. World trade has many problems. Trade markets need to be fair. It seems that poverty is worse today. Terrorism will be the new Nazism and the new Communism in the poor countries. People need to prosper in order to prevent terrorism from growing throughout the world. It is no accident that Nazism grew in Germany.

Peace is important in an interconnected world. Poverty opens the doors to terrorists. The gap must narrow between the rich and the poor nations in order to deter the spread of terrorism. Trade markets work best in times of peace. Terrorists create instability and they will continue to work for instability of trade markets. Terrorists promise dissenters a better life. Globalization has created less Nazism and less Communism but it has opened more doors for terrorism. Leaders in a global economy cannot have the diabolical characteristics of Bush and Cheney. World leaders do not trust Bush and Cheney. Both men are perceived as hateful and vengeful and we must remember that hatred begets hatred.

The Reckoning

The final program in a three part series on corporations discusses the question, “Should corporations be socially responsible?” The truth is that profits trump social responsibility. In 1989, corporations met to control the entire planet and its resources. Fifteen corporations want to control the entire planet. Corporations are privatizing the resources and selling it back to the people for whatever price it desires. For example one corporation privatized the water in an emerging country and the corporation demanded twenty-five percent of a person’s daily wages for each day he wanted water.

Sixty-seven percent of the planet will not have fresh drinking water by 2025. Governments are powerless against corporations. In fact, corporations can overthrow governments.

Governments work with corporations to suppress dissenters. Dissenters are idealistic and corporations are realistic and the corporations are winning. Governments and corporations want to take away the people’s freedoms and rights. Corporations with the help of governments are gaining more and more control over our lives. Three billion people are living in poverty. More children are being exploited as slave laborers by corporations in the emerging countries. Slavery continues in the world and in the United States of America.

Epilogue

In previous posts I have tried to share information on Shalom, corporations, and the world economy. I hear people asking, “What does God want from our world?” As the Creator of the Universe, He wants all of us to share in what He has given us on this planet. He wants for us to embrace Shalom in our practices and policies that includes everyone and excludes no one.

Corporations and governments must understand that we are all in it together. People are part of the equation to improve our world. Together we stand or together we will fall.

Fear keeps the masses under control. Corporations and governments keep the fear level high so that people will focus on each other and not the main problems that corporations and governments create to control the people. The people will be divided by the corporations and the governments and they will be too fearful to unite in order to have some influence over the decisions that are made by corporations and governments.

I cannot remember who said that when a person is down, you keep the person down and you can do whatever you want with the person who is down. People will be at the mercy of corporations and governments. When the Americans are DOWN, all the other citizens of the world WILL FALL INTO PLACE.
