America the Beautiful: A Fire Sale for Foreign Corporations

http://truth-out.org/news/item/10195-america-the-beautiful-a-fire-sale-for-foreign-corporations
"...revealing the current US position and the reason for the secrecy. The contents are surreal, shocking and prima facia evidence for how corporations have become the master puppeteers of our government."
"Residents of the West should be particularly alarmed."
"It gets worse. Those tribunals would be staffed by private-sector lawyers that rotate between acting as "judges" and as advocates for the corporations suing the governments. American taxpayers could be forced to pay those corporations virtually unlimited compensation for trying to protect our air, land and water from much looser standards than current US law allows."

The "Monsanto Rider": Are Biotech Companies About to Gain Immunity from Federal Law?

"A so-called "Monsanto rider," quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require – not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted"  ... "and the questionable crops could be released into the environment where they could potentially contaminate conventional or organic crops and, ultimately, the nation's food supply."

Folks, while I would VERY much like to blame this corruption on the Republi-con party and its corporate interests the FACTS are that Obama and 40-70% of the so-called "Democrats" are on board with these CRIMES as well. OUT-FRIGGIN-RAGEOUS!!!

Hmmmmm, a "Lesson From Crazy Horse"?

"ExxonMobil, BP and the coal and natural gas companies—like the colonial buffalo hunters who left thousands of carcasses rotting in the sun after stripping away the hides, and in some cases carrying away only the tongues—will never impose rational limits on themselves. They will exploit, like the hustlers before them who eliminated the animals that sustained the native peoples of the Great Plains, until there is nothing left to exploit. Collective suicide is never factored into quarterly profit reports. Forget all those virtuous words they taught you in school about our system of government. The real words to describe American power are "plunder," "fraud," "criminality," "deceit," "murder" and "repression."
