There are 10 mega-corporations that control the food and consumer product market in the United States, keeping the masses consuming processed food and taking pills to counter the effects of the processed foods. There are 6 mega-corporations that control the mass media (propaganda) outlets, keeping the sheep controlled and distracted. There are 8,500 banks in the United States and the top 10 mega-banks control 54% of all deposits, control 90% of the credit card market, and control 80% of the mortgage market. In 1990 there were more than 15,000 banks and the top 10 controlled only 20% of the deposits. Too Big to Control or Trust. There are essentially 7 mega-corporations that deal the majority of arms in the world. They are the military industrial complex. They love war. They promote war. They profit from misery, death and destruction. The healthcare industrial complex is dominated by 11 mega-corporation drug dealers. They never seem to cure anything, but they sure can treat you with drugs for life. Much better for the bottom line.
In reality, less than 50 mega-corporations control our lives. They control our politicians. They control our government. They use their immense profits to buy influence. They buy off our politicians with campaign contributions and bribes. They buy off officials at all levels of Federal, State, and local government. They pay for tax laws that benefit them. They write the laws and regulations governing their industries. They collude to further enrich themselves at the expense of the citizens. You are living in a corporate fascist state. If you can’t see that, you must be dependent upon the good graces of these mega-corporations.
Admin,
It is a smaller pool than the graphs shows. Example, before his death Steve Jobs held the largest share of Disney. Microsoft owns the largest share of Viacom.
90% of the 50 mega corporations that control everything are run by Jews.
This type of control used to be called a “monopoly”, and that used to be bad thing.
Yet, 70% of new jobs are created by small businesses, which are all but gone, thanks to the monopolies by mega corps and the law and regulation-generating criminals in Washington. Any wonder why our country is imploding?

The feed industry is much the same. Sure, it might look like every small town has their own feed mill, but the reality is that they are (almost) always owned by one of the major players, and if not owned then have massive contracts with them, to the point that they would shrivel up and die without those contracts.
In the USA, only mega-corps can afford the high priced lobbying to get cut the deals and benefits they need to expand ad infinitum.
Anti-trust laws can be avoided if one part of the company has a different name than another part. Crazy, no?
The sad part of all this is that these evil corporations can be brought down SOOOOO easily.
DON’T BUY THEIR SHIT. Stop giving them your money, and they will collapse. Quickly.
So simple even a caveman can do it. Since they are still in business, getting stronger and bigger by the day, I can only conclude that most Amerikuns are even dumber than cavemen.
Yesterday I posted about Stevie, the Student Loan deadbeat. The overwhelming response towards her was negative, hugely so. “She didn’t do the RIGHT thing!!” “Two wrongs don’t make a right!” “She signed a contract!!” Yet, if a certain percentage of those debts default, it COULD bring down the banking system, or seriously damage it. But that matters not … WE must do the right thing, the Christian thing even, said one OP.
Sun Tzu would say you’re all morans. This is a war but, you want to fight according to THEIR rules. It’s a damn shame they break ALL of them …. but, hey, we’re better than that. You all mistakenly think you can win this war with your Breastplate of Righteousness and the Belt of Truth buckled around your waist. Good luck with that. There’s a name for such “warriors”; …. Slaves.
@AWD, no longer 70%, hasn’t been since (at least) 2005. I was writing a paper for my pre-law class when I found out the percentage had dropped to 45% and that was via the SBA.gov, so, in hindsight, probably an overstated lie.
Small business means nothing to job creation anymore. We are being slaughtered or swallowed by bigger industry which is then slaughtered or swallowed by the even bigger industry.
These companies are why people still think eating avocados, eggs and raw milk are unhealthy, while eating rice flour (with no nutrition) foods are “good for you.”
Shocking to most, I left shocked long ago.
Stucky- it goes beyond just collapsing the system. We would go through the biggest deflation spiral in history. I just didn’t agree with a sob story. Yea the industry is corrupt.
Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway owns a large part of at least four of these companies.
Non-compliance is the best way to starve the beast. It’s just incredibly difficult. Consumerism was a great strategy to enslave the masses. People don’t want to go without these goods and services, therefore they will continue to be available.
Stuck – You may be right about Americans being dumber than cavemen. At the least the populace is thoroughly brainwashed. They like iphones, they like the Voice, they like CSI, they enjoy shit made in China and sold at Walmart.
Who can win against this? No one. They’ve already won. Their problem is just keeping the game going.
The only people that win, maybe, are those that don’t play the game.
“I just didn’t agree with a sob story.” ———- Calamity
Yet, you have given your own “sob story” here.
A million+ foreclosures and bankruptcies. Every one of them is a sob story. Perhaps we should only allow bankruptcies if a person has a happy story?

We have a winner, Johnny!!
My tormerly-troubled son has no kids, no wife, no mortgage, few worries, no money, and no bills. My nurse son has 3 kids, a wife, a mortgage, more worries, and money that mostly goes to pay bills. I wonder who the real winner is?
yes the pool is smaller what about the banks % in all these company’s then it gets even smaller with who owns the banks. when jp morgan died he only owned like 30%of his bank the biggest owners in his bank were the rothschilds which today own a good % of 176 central banks of the world like the us federal reserve bank
90% of the 50 mega corporations that control everything are run by Jews. -AWD
Do not confuse religion with capitalism.
Far more Jewish, or Christian, Muslims,Agnostics, Buddhists, Atheists, or whatever, have nothing to do with these conglomerates.
Dont pigeon hole a dozen bad eggs by their beliefs for you persecute many innocent.
