"The National Security State uses fascism to protect
capitalism while they say they're protecting democracy
from communism."
-- Michael Parenti 1st, 2nd & 4th RA files are from
Pacifica Radio
"We're seeing an enormous increase in inequality in the
United States and in the world. There's a massive
reallocation of wealth from people who do productive work
to people who simply have money. The figure that helps to
underline just how extreme this inequality is becoming is
the observation that 358 billionaires in the world have
combined assets roughly equal to the combined annual
income of the world's poorest 2.5 billion people (that's
nearly 1/2 of the world's population), and that
concentration is continuing... 90% of the value of
shareholder equity in the United States is owned by the
richest 10% of households. 47% is owned by the top 1%
of households. The bottom 80% of households own 2%."
David C. Korten
"The global economy has become like a malignant cancer,
advancing the colonization of the planet's living spaces for
the benefit of powerful corporations and financial
institutions. It has turned these once useful institutions
into instruments of a market tyranny that is destroying
livelihoods, displacing people, and feeding on life in an
insatiable quest for money. It forces us all to act in ways
destructive of ourselves, our families, our communities,
and nature. Human survival depends on a community-
based, people-centered alternative beyond the failed
extremist ideologies of communism and capitalism. This
alternative is already being created through the initiatives
of millions of people around the world who are taking back
control of their lives and communities to create places
where people can live and grow in balance with the living
earth. When Corporations Rule the World provides an
agenda of national and global reforms by which we may
reclaim our power to localize our economies while
globalizing our consciousness." —David C. Korten
