It's the Corporate State, Stupid
Rupert Murdoch admits that it isn't news unless he says it is:~
"For better or for worse, our company (The News Corporation Ltd.) is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values." Rupert Murdoch
I saw the documentary, "The Corporation" on television a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it tremendously. I think it successfully explores the idea that the new totalitarian power structure is most likely to be corporate. Or more probably, a combination of corporate power and government.
Anyway, here is the documentary "The Corporation" courtesy of Youtube. It has been uploaded to Youtube in 10 minute segments with 15 segments in all. Enjoy :)

There is an amazing book by Margaret Atwood about corporate rule in the future called "Oryx and Crake". Fictional of course ;) but not beyond what is possible in science and corporate culture at the present moment!
Good to see you back in action Beep.
I saw this documentary a while back myself. From what I recall, the parts when they likened corporations to psychopaths was the most interesting. Some of the rest was a bit over the top (although I can't recall what, specifically).
Great post!

Excellent post.
The same, good to have you back, and specially with such a tremendously documentary . . . I wonder, why did I have'nt seen it before in my country TV? Shall it be because there is only one tv corporation here? I must thank you a lot for this, no matter if you become a little sad, specially for our kids future, and . . . I must recognize that after my parents, school and books, . . . you're contributing in my education beep. thanks
Well, and know I have work to do because I must change my plans . . . instead of a tipical corporation I need to begin a very different one.
I sent a link to this post to a bunch of folk, then ne'er came to finish reading the docu-links! I will. I will! lol
Good one Ms Beep.
Thanks for your comments. I get a bit slack replying to them. If I was a religious person I would get out the whip and self-flagellate, but I could never understand the sado-masochistic stuff.
Which, by the way, reminds me. Does anyone know the islamic religious festival where (the shia, I think), march down the road or in the square, whipping their backs until they bleed? I think they do it as a sign of devotion or something. Religious people have weird rituals in my opinion.
In which country and channel did you see this documentary on TV? I saw this I guess a year ago roughly and thought it was pretty good. I bought a copy for my younger brother who isn't that politically active. I was hoping that this documentary could sow a seed which would grow in him =)
Ahh, you're an Australian. That helps explain it.
It played on Australian television, though not on a commercial channel understandably. lol
Yes, australian.
Damn those free-thinking australians. lol ;)
