	Corporatocracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Corporatocracy (sometimes Corporocracy) is a pejorative term coined by proponents of the anti-globalization movement to describe a government bowing to pressure from corporate entities.
		Critics of this term argue that the term has no real meaning in terms of political theory, arguing that a corporation is nothing more than a body of individuals, ruled by an elected governing body and executives appointed by that body.
		Hence the term "corporatocracy" might be considered somewhat synonymous with plutocracy, the government by the rich.

	Encyclopedia: Corporatocracy
		A neologism is word, term, or phrase which has been recently created (coined) â€”often to apply to new concepts, or to reshape older terms in newer language form.
		A plutocracy is a form of government where all the states decisions are centralized in an affluent wealthy class of citizenry, and the degree of economic inequality is high while the level of social mobility is low.
		Corporate personhood is a term used to describe the legal fiction used within United States law that a corporation has a limited number or subset of the same constitutional rights as a human being.

	Corporatocracy
		Critics of this term argue that the term has no real meaning in terms of political theory, arguing that a corporation isn'thing more than a body of individuals, ruled by an elected governing body and executives appointed by that body.
		It is also true that while anyone can become a shareholder in principle, in reality it is frequently only the wealthy who can afford to own enough stock to directly influence the voting (and hence the activities) of a corporation.
		Others argue that this doesn't matter, since it is likely that even if poor shareholders were in the majority, they will still vote for things which would make the company more profit, in order to benefit the shareholders.

		In that the stated objectives of the members of the corporatocracy are strongly contradicted by their intentional practice, it is quite legitimate to brand the corporatocracy as one massive Network Conspiracy.
		This conspiratorial corporatocracy creates its own supportive milieu which enables it to divert charges of conspiracy with automatic rejection using the axiom: there are no real conspiracies, only crazy conspiracy theorists.
		From Perkins' position and background, that 9/11 was enabled by the corporatocracy and that terrorism is a corporatocracy tactic to gain support for their practices and policies would have been known.

	Causes - where from here? (part 2)
		There will be action plans to de-fang: the corporatocracy, so that corporations can continue to provide products and services without trying to rule the world by whatever means; and the occultocracy, so that intelligence services provide only that, not 'psychological operations' to try to rule the world.
		In de-fanging the corportocracy it must be considered that the corporations themselves are not the corporatocracy, rather it is the way that they work together to influence Congressmen and the Administration.
		The 'drug war' which is presently unwinnable because the corporatocracy and the occultocracy are on the side of the drug kingpins; will be won.

	Preface, Prologue, Part I: 1963-1971 excerpted from the book Confession of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
		In their drive to advance the global empire, corporations, banks, and governments (collectively the corporatocracy) use their financial and political muscle to ensure that our schools, businesses, and media support both the fallacious concept and its corollary.
		The corporatocracy is not a conspiracy, but its members do endorse common values and goals.
		Despite the fact that the money is returned almost immediately to corporations that are members of the corporatocracy (the creditor), the recipient country is required to pay it all back, principal plus interest.

	Small Acts: John Perkins : Interview
		You’ve got to look at it… if you were running for President and you really wanted to reign in the corporatocracy and you ran on a platform that was very nationalistic and said, “we’re not going to let the Americans, the empire, the corporatocracy exploit us” and you won, and you started implementing those policies.
		And that all comes through the corporatocracy and they don’t allow anyone to make it to the nominee of either party—Democrat or Republican—who doesn’t meet with their approval.
		The corporatocracy has tremendous control over the electoral system in our country and a lot of that simply comes from the fact that it costs a fortune, a huge fortune to even run for president or to run for any major office in the United States.

	Corporatocracy, Corporatism, Fascism
		Back when people were actually almost "free" (immediately after WWII), when public education was not just another empty promise - and the trend in life was toward a better tomorrow for everyone - at that time "control" was in retreat, and progress was the theme of every hour.
		Instead of that promise, instead of that possibility - what we have now is the outright worship of Mistrust, of Fear, and of Paranoia - along with obscene profits for those who have purchased all the politicians, and who control every facet of this once nearly free society.
		It is therefore not surprising that Bush would want to claim the mantle of 'Dictator for All the Known World,' even though he is nothing but the token puppet in the front row.

		Thus, according to Perkins, in the neocolonialism of the 1970s, consultants traveling the world and persuading developing country leaders to borrow and "convincing" developed country governments and agencies to lend were purposively chosen and conscious of their mission-to advance the interests of the corporatocracy and extend the empire of the US.

	Word Control, Thought Control, World Control
		In the past 20 years, too many words dealing with too many politically, sociologically and spiritually loaded concepts have been remade to convey quite different ideas from the original, in rapid process that is accelerating as the Corporatocracy’s hold on the world’s broadcast media, printing and publishing output increases.
		Chances are, if you are using a dictionary that was compiled by American academicians and printed by an American publishing house, you are consulting a volume that has been "verified" and assembled by the very Corporatocracy that is behind the stealing of the old, established definitions.
		It seems that, when the Corporatocracy cannot refute the hard evidence, it resorts to destroying the very idea that any theory of a conspiracy, no matter how many facts, how large a body of solid evidence there may be to constitute proof positive that there had indeed been conspiracies, no conspiracy theory can be valid.
