Why were Iraqi elections delayed? Why was Jay Garner fired? Why
are our troops still there?Investigative reporter Palast uncovers new
documents that answer these questions and more about the Bush
administration's grand designs on Iraq. Like everything else issued
during this administration, the plan to overhaul the Iraqi economy
has corporate lobbyist fingerprints all over it. You expected the oil
industry lobbyists, but Grover Norquist?

There are so many great articles etc that come through this clearinghouse? 
here, but this one is really a nice one in my opinion.

If there were ever a total indictment against corporate tyranny and blatant 
evidence of political treason, this remains it, for, as everyone's starting 
to understand now (did I really say "everyone"?, lol, what a joke), we're 
going to be paying for such delicately woven intricate treachery for some 
time to come now.

Is there a f*cking lawyer in the house....?

When I saw so many years ago the graffiti scrawled on a Manhattan subway 
wall that read "Death By Corporation", I really had no idea what they were 
talking about.

Actually finding some interesting way to literally "dissolve" Corporate 
Earth no longer sounds like a far-fetched concept to me.

The survival of Earth or Corporations.

What a hard choice.   Let me think now.

Hmmm....

But they control Congressmen, and Governors, and Judges, and Presidents, 
and Secretary of Defenses, and, wow, that list is long, so, hmmm, there's 
no way we're ever going to get ANY Government of Earth to actually rein 
them in, much less "dissolve" them in the interest of the very survival of 
the planet and the measly creatures they refer to as us who inhabit it 
anytime soon.

Ok, well, uhhh...  uhhh, well....  uhhh....

Ok, well, then, that just leaves "Plan B" between Corporate Earth and the 
ultimate totalitarian domination of everything that walks, crawls, flies, 
or sits and the eventual complete manmade destruction of the planet and 
everything on it.


"Uncle Cheeseburger.....!!"

"Yes, kids..."

"We don't *have* a 'Plan B'.......!!"

"You don't.......?"

"No, we don't........!!"

"Oh well..."

"Oh well....."

"Oh well......."

"Hehe..."

"Hehehe...."

"Hehehehe....."

"Night, kids, sweet dreams..."

"Night, Uncle Cheeseburger....."
