Allow me to begin this brief article �" of opinionated speculative conjecture supported by evidential footnote proofs whenever and wherever possible �" in first sharing that which I do believe to be words of sage's wisdom taken in excerpt from author Ronald W. Hull's1 story, Verge of Destiny:
"After World War II, the sky, and the stars, were the limit. We reached for the Moon and got there. A monumental feat we can't repeat. Oh yes, there was the Cold War where two sides of the world with differing ideologies teetered on the brink of letting loose the genie again. But there was fear of the Devil on both sides. Neither one wanted to open that bottle and let that that genie out�"that thermonuclear war that would have easily annihilated all life in the name of self-defense. What defense is that, when by merely wiping out your enemy, you wipe out yourself?
Fortunately, that didn't happen�"yet. Something more insidious did. Corporations changed the world. Gradually, bit-by-bit, they took over country after country as they sought to make their products and sell them to an ever larger, international, marketplace."
Author's Note Of Disclaimer: The thoughts of viewpoint which I shall share below, may not necessarily be those of author Ronald W. Hull.
Allow me to introduce you to a fictional character, whom I shall dub as Mr. Dick Tater. Next, I would present a hypothetical theory, one which would such suggest that Mr. Dick Tater is an often sight-unseen sensation, an ominous force at work within the entirety of our world today. Mr. Dick Tater, possesses an insatiable appetite, manifests himself in innocence of popular names such as Amazon and Walmart, as well as other names seldom mentioned or even known, and is expressly driven by an addictive fetish for ever increasing profits. The plain and simple of telling it like it is? Mr. Dick Tater seeks not conquest of city, state, kingdom or nation, but domination of the world.
As an American, it is my personal viewpoint that World World II's gallant expedition waged against the evils of Fascism was subtly that of solely removing the given name Dick from the all consuming Mr. Tater which, without said first name Dick, would surely bring about a near magical cloaking transformation, wherein Average Jane-N-Joe folks like you and I could now sleep better at night believing the world had been set free from all the evil, Fascist, Mr. Dick Tater's.
Thus, with the deletion's removal of Mr. Tater's first name �" Dick �" reality becomes less personal, because there is no longer a clearly visible villainous authoritarian-totalitarian figure-head for the masses to focus their enraged mind's eye upon as the cause-n-source of all their miserable lives of suffering in daily struggle of eking out impoverished existences, due to lack of Bills of Rights and lack of Freedoms held in hand of Liberty, but never without lack of those life enslaving, ever escalating, (no hope of mercy's respite in sight) consumer prices for essentials of food, shelter, transportation, taxes upon taxes (income, property, sales) and insurance's paid protection of home, health, life, and auto.
The masses, nations, even governments such as our own, would, hence, be blinded to the reality that they were being bought, owned, and controlled by insidiously nefarious, and most cancerous, Corporate-Entities which �" in orchestrated incremental stages of eventuality �" fully intend to possess, hold, and wield the true reigns of political, economic, and military power and influence�"world wide, in every land and every nation, especially these United States of America.
To reiterate Ronald W. Hull's words of wisdom:
“Fortunately, that didn't happen�"yet. Something more insidious did. Corporations changed the world. Gradually, bit-by-bit, they took over country after country as they sought to make their products and sell them to an ever larger, international, marketplace."
Little did men-as-Man know or realize that their business venture creation-invention of the “Corporation” was to one day become a physical and monetary form of a manmade virus, which I (humorously) choose to self-coin as, “The Dick-less Tater Virus.” And what is it that viruses do in order to survive, sight unseen, and continue to infect their hosts �" soon to become their next victims �" wherein they also reproduce? They mutate & adapt, more often than not, becoming even more powerful and dangerous strains of said virus than ever before �" Corporations mutating into Corporatism to cancerously metastasize into Corporationalism2 that reeks of no end in sight's tip of the iceberg of, there's something lurking in the shadows, something even more ominously sinister, hidden within the clamor's DIS-Information of our daily lives, but what ever could it be?
Hence, I theoretically suggest, the Fascism of World War II was never destroyed. The “Dick” was emasculated ceremonially from the “Tater:” The manmade Dick-less Tater Virus, originally known in naive innocence as the “Corporation,” has, in fact of reality, mutated and adapted, and thus become an all encompassing, all engulfing, and all consuming strain of predatory businessmen-made travesty that gives truest credence to the modern day term gone “viral.”
The “Corporation”, which I refer to as The Dick-less Tater Virus, exists today as a literal plague of pandemic portions set loose upon all the world by Man himself. It is a virus which operates via “The Right of Might,” favors the filthy rich, profits from War and bloodshed's carnage of innocents, and feeds upon the life's blood of the masses, in leeching Average Jane-N-Joe Humanity for all they are worth in endless wringing of their pocketbooks for more and more profits in order to soothe an appetite that shall never know that contentment of being sated.
The Dick-less Tater Virus also represents an eerie resemblance to a (i.e.: metaphorical analogy) Dark Ages specter upon the darkening horizon: The specter of Feudalism (a system of Lords and Serfs) man-resurrected as modern day �" Dick-less Tater Virus �" (Soft?) Fascism, a misleading facade for that which is, in all too surreal reality, Corporationalism. For, the fact is, all that is missing in America, today, is the Dick to set atop the Tater to then become Mr. Dick Tater before the world, once again. Bear in mind: Mr. Dick Tater is always popular with those who profit from his reign, no matter the land or nation.
It's Katy bar the door with no holds barred, if as such as I theoretically suggest should take place here in our America, come the 2024 Presidential Election. From all appearances the stage is set, and as such could actually become a nightmare's reality. Perhaps it won't, or perhaps it will, regardless of which Candidate becomes President �" and I do literally mean, regardless. Yet, truth is, appearances are often deceiving, intentionally created as a diversionary tactics used to draw attention away from a threat far greater than that of a Mr. Dick Tater reigning over our America, as terrifying as the very thought of such an outcome truly is and would be.
And yet, there is that illusive something �" something more �" which continues to gnaw at the back of our minds, but we just can't seem to put a finger on it, wrap our heads around it. What is it? What ever could it be? Well, could it be that we are so sensitized-terrified of a literal Mr. Dick Tater taking over our America that we cannot see the Forrest of Reality for all of the many Corporately owned leafy trees?
Consider this: Our Dickless Tater Virus may not simply be just a beheaded Mr. Dick Tater, any longer, as we have assumed that he/it was and so would be today: Corporations mutating into Corporatism to cancerously metastasize into Corporationalism that reeks of no end in sight's tip of the iceberg of there's something more lurking in the shadows, something ominously sinister, hidden within the clamor's DIS-Information of our daily lives, that we can't see, but what ever could it be? The simple answer is this: Something which surpasses the threat of Corporationalism, which does suggest that the Dicless Tater Virus has mutated-evoled into an even more dangerous threat. But, what is Corporationalism anyways, in order that we may comprehend exactly what could be worse?
“Corporatonalism
(Noun) is an economic and political theory advocating the rights and
power of Corporation(s) over the individual, people, governments,
locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Its main
characteristic are that it is fiercely opposed to "red tape",
which can be anything from bank reform, union membership and health
insurance reform to extra safety costs, the big corporations see
government as a potential hindrance to their activities. Its main
goal is to make the largest profit for its shareholders, for the
least amount of costs. It is derived by the earlier concept of
Corporatism.
And so, we do see above that Mr. Dick Tater, before and after his/it's beheading, does display all the facet's attributes of Fascism (I theoretically suggest Feudalism as well), but the Dickless Tater Virus has become more dangerous that any World War II's concept of the threat of Fascism. In fact, while we and the world have rested upon our laurels, foolishly believing the threat to the world which Fascism presented had been eradicated and eliminated, that very real threat remained in quite similitude of hibernation's incubation of spreading its �" Dickless Tater Virus �" tentacles of attaining infectious expansion, infiltration, and control to every vital organ of sovereignty in every land and nation upon this Earth. And now, the Corporationalism caterpillar is openly emerging from it's snoozing cocoon, having morphed into the next Dickless Tater Virus mutation: Corporatocracy. What is a Corporatocracy? A Corporatocracy3 is:
“A system or society in which corporations have economic, political, and often judicial control.” Vocabulary.com
“When corporations control the society or the system it is called as Corporatocracy.” Oxford Dictionary
“A society which is dominated by politically and economically large corporations.” Cambridge Dictionary
“A government form in which the large corporations hold power.” Merriam Webster Dictionary
So, here it is folks: While we and the world have been sleeping, the innocent little 'Corporation” that I have word-play presented as the Dickless Tater Virus has literally been mutating overtime, gaining momentum of attaining strength through strategic position of wealth, influence, and power. We no longer own our own country. Our government no longer controls the future and destiny of America. And this infiltration's invasion of America by means of Corporate Capture of Government �" resultantly defined as a Corporatocray �" which is undeniably happening to our nation, may well be irreversible, as the age of sovereign nations may have arrived at an end, and the age of sovereign Corporations may have just only begun.
Does there exist evidential proof that our nation has been infiltrated-invaded by an overtly covert attempt of Corporate Capture of Government, namely the Government of these United States of America, the result of which would redefine America as being a Corporatocracy?
Allow me to put it this way, and see if you glean any obvious evidence from that which I shall share: The fact is, attempts at Corporate Capture of Government �" resultantly defined as a Corporatocray (my Dickless Tater Virus become Frankenstein to the Nth power of monstrosities �" are rampantly taking place worldwide, have taken America (“We The People”) prisoner and our Government hostage, and, like all devastating viruses, does not just infect and victimize particular peoples, cultures, races ... Or, just particular political parties, because both the Republican and Democratic Parties are fully infected and influenced by the sway and wield of power of Corporations (now legally become “a person” �" possessing the rights of a person �" by the Supreme Court) in lobbying our Congress, and making Supreme Court sanctioned monetary donations.
What the hell is going on, and how did it come about? The proper terminology for the infiltration-invasion's travesty which has befallen our nation is known as Corporate Capture of Government.
Corporate Capture of Government works in covertly overt stealth of transforming sovereign nations into a Corporatocracy, which does virtually own �" by means of Corporate power's control of managerial-styled sway of influence �" the Governments of such naively gullible and totally unsuspecting nations, and as such without shouldering-up even a smidgen of accountability's responsibility for the outcome of poor managerial decisions control of influence-made, which the assimilated nation may suffer �" as well as virtually owning the assets of those taken-unawares nations which have become (gradually of incrementally, in eventuality of time) assimilation-transformed from once independent and sovereign nations to an unacknowledged (perhaps even as yet unrecognized) subjugated existence as a part of the Corporatocracy Entity (Corporatocracy metaphorically ='s Star Trek, The Next Generation's Borg?), by the subtle process of Corporate Capture more accurately defined just below:
“Corporate capture” is a phenomenon where private industry uses its political influence to take control of the decision-making apparatus of the state, such as regulatory agencies, law enforcement entities, and legislatures. When corporations draft legislation privately with lawmakers that they have significant influence over, this results in laws and policies that benefit corporations, while often harming the environment, low-income people, and communities of color ...” Center For Constitutional Rights.org4
Are you beginning to catch the drift? The Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows), which would serve to redefine our nation as a Corporatocracy, has already taken place. The Dickless Tater Virus-Frankenstein to the Nth power, for all practical purposes, does hold virtual ownership's sway of near-literal control-of-influence over our nation's Executive, Congressional, and Judicial �" (as per the two Supreme Court Decisions exampled above) �" Branches of Government; lock, stock, and barrel, literally-owns and control-influences the designing, development, production, and on-demand-delivery of our Military's essential requirements for conducting Offensive/Defensive operations of protecting and representing the interests of our nation (justifiable, good, or bad) in time of war: Production and Delivery of Ammunition, Guns, Rockets, Tanks, Missiles, Ships, Submarines, Aircraft, Threat Detection Technology (Surveillance, Satellites, etc.), Nuclear weaponry (Strategic, ICBM, Tactical) and much more.
And what's more:
Corporate Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows), which does virtually own �" at the very least, by means of Corporate power's control of managerial-styled sway of influence �" our Government, and (in many instances �" does literally own,) our national asset-access of America's natural resources. In addition, has secured the virtual ownership and control of influence over the vital maintenance-sustaining of our nation's Power Grid �" a couple of well known examples: PG&E Corporation in the movie, Erin Brokovich, based upon true life events, and ONCORE Electric Delivery Company Inc. in Texas �" Oil (Gasoline, Diesel, Jet Fuel, Lubricants), and Natural Gas production (one example: Exon Mobile) and distribution; owns and controls a vast majority of our nation's Agricultural Industry's (one example: Cargill, the, Minnesota USA based, largest Big AG Corp in the world) production of livestock and crops, and distribution, America's Food Manufacturing Production and Distribution to the public and as such by means of Trucking Chains, Supermarket Chains and Convenience Store Chains, (i.e.: Allsups), and Restaurant Chains (MacDonalds, Burger King, Sonic Drive-in, Chili's, Arby's, Slotzsky's, KFC, etc), all of which are also Corporately owned and operated.
It gets worse:
Corporate Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows), which does virtually own �" at the very least, by means of Corporate power's control of managerial-styled sway of influence �" our land of America; control-influences (in many instances �" does literally own) our nation's mineral and precious metals means of production (Gold, Platinum, Titanium, Magnesium, Silver, Copper, etc., industries as well as Steel and Aluminum Industries which provide materials for the manufacturing production of trains, planes, rails for railroad tracks, girders for skyscrapers, beams for bridges, weaponry, trucks, tractors, agricultural harvester equipment, trailers, automotive engines, transmissions, bodies, parts and production, and countless other metals essential necessities vital to the functioning and survival of our nation.
First time home buyer? Good luck on that. Already bought, and paying for a home? Consider this: Is your home's mortgage even safe?
Corporate Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows), which does virtually own �" at the very least, by means of Corporate power's control of managerial-styled sway of influence �" our Government and (in many instances �" does literally own) far too many areas of Technology, Research, Production, and Manufacturing (areas which do exist as vitally important assets within that realm of sustaining, maintaining, and assuring the continued growth and prosperity of America), is now currently in active process of major corporations (often cloaked as Investors) buying up an ever increasing piece of the American Housing Market pie �" purchasing single family homes and converting them into rental properties, which does directly compete and make it much more difficult for first time home buyers in a market where homes are already in high demand �" ( an acquisition of roughly twenty five percent in 2023) by investors such as Blackstone, JP Morgan Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, Mynd Management, Pretium, American Homes 4 Rent, while others are buying up mortgages, student loans, etc., such as Fannie Mae and Bernie Mac.
Corporate Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows), Our Government which once kept vigilant oversight of the amenities-assets regarding Freedom Of The Press and Free Speech, here, in of our America, now, literally, owns and control-influences our nation's communication (FCC) and information sources and services such as Newspapers, Social Media, Television Stations, Radio Stations, Book and Magazine Publishing, and even your local Providers of Mobile Phone and Home Internet, as well as countless others that are far too many name here upon page.
In sarcastic attempt to present our American reality most mildly: To state that the popular large Corporations known as Amazon and Walmart virtually own-us as customers �" out of sheer necessity's near-to-literal fact of there being very few, if any, other affordably available options of elsewhere to shop, which does leave us with little to no choice but to do business with them �" is a laughably outrageous exaggeration, in comparison to all of which I have shared above, imaginatively likened to that proverbial flea nipping at an Elephant's a*s.
What else can I say or share? Brother, you name it, the infiltration invasion known as the Corporate Capture of Government (where the head goes the body follows) �" our Government and our land of America �" and that ravenous Entity, in fullest process of attempting to comprehensively RE-Define America as a Corporatocracy owns it: For all practical purposes, “We The People,” own nothing, possess nothing, and have not a word to say as to that which is transpiring before our very sleeping eyes. In a manner of virutal speaking, we are no longer truly American Citizens, but are becoming (have become and do not realize it yet) Corporate-Citizens of what was once the free and sovereign nation of The United States of America.
With all of the above travesty sadly shared, come November, please do vote for the Candidate of your choice, for vote you must, or America most certainly loses. There remains but little doubt that Corporate Capture of Government, which seeks to Assimilation-RE-Define our nation shall, or does, decide the outcome of November's Presidential Election
It is my personal viewpoint of assessment that no matter who is elected as President, regardless of which or what Political Party (Democrat, Republican, or even an Independent Candidate) the newly elected President represents, the new President will hold office via the express will, whim, and fancy of Corporate Capture of Government's control of influence in pulling the puppet strings of whomever resides within the White House Oval office, as per my poem: The Power Behind The Thrones.5
Is there to be hoped for answer, a solution, a fix, a way to reverse the damage already impacting our nation, impacting the virtual entirety of the world, who, like America, are becoming the assimilation-owned property, and citizens fallen victim to Corporate Capture of Government which transforms once soveregn nations into a Corporatocracy, and may well soon render planet Earth an all too surreal Dystopian world? I have no clue. I am an In-depth Research Writer. I research and locate little know or recognized facts. I am not overly smart, nor am I a whiz at spouting out viable answers or solutions to the problems daily facing Man's Humanity. But, I would strongly suggest the following, though I honestly have to clue as to how that which I shall suggest may be effected done and carried forth to salvaging-restoring the sovereignty of our nation:
Somehow of someway, the “Corporation” that has become Corporate Capture of Government('s), yielding the bitter fruit of a Corporatocracy, must be eradicated by directly dismantled , legally and irreversible outlawed and banned, in denying access to any semblance of existence, or legal circumventing of the law re-emergence of that plague upon nations and peoples which it most assuredly become as once thought of as innocent entity known as the “Corporation” that has revealed itself as dire threat to every sovereign nation and people of this planet which Man calls Earth.
Know this, and please do not fool yourselves: The future of America, the world, and the Human Race is at stake. Attempting to only reign in, control, regulate such a ravenously insidious entity will never see change. Only that act of nation's governments standing up and openly declaring all concepts of the “Corporation” illegal, defunct, to be dismantled, eradicated, exterminated, banned, and outlawed will ever serve as a ray of hope of saving our future.
Can we count on Politicians opposing the acceptance of big money from Big Tech's Big Corporations which comprise Corporate Capture of Government comprising a Corporatocracy? Our nation's Congressmen, as well our Supreme Court Justice's have already revealed themselves as collaborating traitors to all that America was founded upon. But, someone, somehow, must stand up and try. Otherwise, the future is most certainly bleak for us all, for America, and all the nations and peoples of Humanity worldwide.
Thank you for reading.
