#coorporations

Sometimes when I mention that I think the united states needs an economic revolution people think I mean waiting in line for four hours on a Sunday morning to grab the weekly bread ration.

I really just mean going to a locally owned bakery or a farmer’s market and buying bread from someone who didn’t have to go into crippling student debt or an equally crippling business loan. Instead people go to Walmart and buying bread wrapped in single use plastic with employees that are depressed and underpaid while the Walton family is pocketing most of the money they make.

Due to media consolidation, we may believe we have choice, but we only have 6 different companies who run everything: GE, News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS. Disney makes the most and owns the most out of these six. When we choose to watch Disney and expose our children to Disney media and Disney Princesses, are we really making that choice or has that choice already been made for us?

Meet Peter Brabeck, former CEO, now Chairman of the Nestle food coorporation.

The Nestle foodstuff coorporation is the largest of its kind in the modernworld, with turnovers of about 65 billion dollars and a mere 275,000 workers world wide.

That should give you a picture of just how wealthy this man is. 

Now Mr. Brabeck believes that ALL of our water should be owned and sold by major coorporations, like Nestle. Furthermore, he believes that water should not be considered a natural right, that Nature has always proven to be "pitiless", and that there has never been one case of illness that occured from eating genetically modified foods. This man is the embodiment of everything I hate in society. I disagree with him on all three fronts, as I'm sure many of you do as well.

Brabeck's sociopathic tendencies have led him to fund attacks against GMO labeling, completely destroy struggling rural areas without any means of compensation, and even conduct business with slavery rings. All of which is stated in the reports below:

“Nestlé production of mineral water involves the abuse of vulnerable water resources. In the Serra da Mantiqueira region of Brazil, home to the “circuit of waters” park whose groundwater has a high mineral content and medicinal properties, over-pumping has resulted in depletion and long-term damage.”

“In 2001, Nestlé faced criticism for buying cocoa from the Ivory Coast and Ghana, which may have been produced using child slaves.[58] According to an investigative report by the BBC, hundreds of thousands of children in Mali, Burkina Faso and Togo were being purchased from their destitute parents and shipped to the Ivory Coast, to be sold as slaves to cocoa farms.”

So is water a natural right?

Or should it be sold to us by major coorporations?

"To do the necessary product analysis, Walmart founded the Sustainability Consortium, a university-hosted group. It has since attracted 75 corporate members, including Monsanto and McDonald’s, each of which must contribute at least $100,000 to the effort. To run the consortium, Walmart chose two academic institutions with which it has close ties: the Applied Sustainability Center, which is part of the University of Arkansas’ Sam M. Walton College of Business and was established in 2007 with a grant from the Walmart Foundation, and Arizona State University’s Global Institute of Sustainability, whose board of directors is co-chaired by Rob Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton and chair of Walmart’s own board."
