American Samizdat

I was doing research for another Better Humans piece and I found a site called the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology.

And I found these interesting commandments for globalisation. They certainly explained what I've seen lately:

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GLOBALISATION AND CORPORATE RULE

For Citizens

Thou shalt have no rights to livelihoods, to work, to food, to water, to a safe environment.
Thou shalt have no rights to work and livelihoods and to economic security.
Thou shalt have no other identity or morality except that of being consumers on the global market place.
Thou shalt elect governments but the governments’ role shall not be to protect you. They will protect corporations.

For Governments

Thou shalt give up all functions to protect your citizens and all duties and obligations required of you by your national constitutions.
Thou shalt consider your first duty and obligation to promote the freedom of transnational corporations and take away the freedoms of your people.
Thou shalt take the environmental wealth of your country and citizens and hand it over for free to the transnational corporations.

For Corporations and Business

If you are small and local, thou shalt disappear and make way for transnational monopolies.
If you are global, thou shalt demand absolute rights in every country to walk in and walk out as you find profitable.
Thou shalt destroy the environment and jobs everywhere to maximise your profits and returns on investments which will be the ends towards which all governments and citizens must assist you as their highest moral duty.
