THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE

We’ve got 6 mega-media companies, about 8 mega-banks, and about 10 mega-processed food companies. The oligarchs give you the illusion of choice.

You don’t have to deal with the mega food processors or mega media even if it is convenient to do so, but the mega banks are a different story.

There is almost no escape from at least some dealings with the mega banks.

The average sheople is more concerned with the rise of robots than the fact that nearly everything they eat is made by just a handful or corporations whose primary goal is to make money for their owners and shareholders.

Make everyone obese and diabetic with poisonous foods, feed them a steady diet of “distress porn” so they’re worried about what a Kardashian fucked or squirted out then send ’em to the medical industrial complex to be treated for every ache and pain plus treat them for depression which qualifies them for welfare disability. It’s the circle of life in corporate owned ‘Murica.

The mega bank is the Federal Reserve which provided the counterfeit money for the Vampire Squid’s takeover of America. PS: Hillary’s America is worth the time and money; the Left made a real enemy for life when they put Dinesh D’souza in prison for a campaign contribution. The Republicans are being reformed by Trump but the Democrat Mob grows by every secret nighttime load of Muslims and illegal immigrant. PSPS: Harpy’s campaign ad says she handled Putin; well, she didn’t lay a glove on him because he is alive and well. Hope Putin releasing some hacked DNC emails is just the start and November is a long way off for the Benghazi Bitch.

You can’t make this stuff up. Via Dinesh D’Souza – It appears Dems need help with the words to the Pledge of Allegiance:

[imgcomment image[/img]

Dinesh D’Souza ✔ @DineshDSouza – Hilarious! The Dems have to put the words of the Pledge of Allegiance on the TelePrompTer

Michelle Malkin ✔ @michellemalkin – But they know all the lyrics to “Imagine” by heart…

‏@EJKTwit @Evelyn K. (EJK) Retweeted Dinesh D’Souza – What did they pledge to? There were no American flags… #DemsInPhilly

I saw his movie last night. What is wild is how, for an intellectual, Dinesh really does have a great sense of humor. The fact that he expresses it in such a deadpan manner makes it even more funny (in my opinion).

But – was even more wild – was seeing the movie followed by the closing segments of last night’s Democratic convention. Bizarre. America really has split in two.

Watched Hillary’s America last night. Good overall theme however it never talked about the influence of communism in the Democratic party… I guess he didn’t want to call out the tribe who dominates the DNC and makes up a majority of the neocons/NWO etc. Dinesh knows he can’t go there.. otherwise the next time the “Empire” strikes he will be 6 feet under verses his jail cell.

These same corporations make the majority of the brands that have USDA Organic stamped on them and are sold through Whole Foods and other so-called health food stores. A product can be labeled organic even if 90% of the content is not organic.

I’m most concerned that all of the social media platforms are run by globalists. Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. Twitter banning Milo was shocking, although it shouldn’t have been. Imagine Trump trying to run without access to Twitter. He’d be at the mercy of the liberal media.

No mega banks or mega food processors for me. Very easy to avoid unless your mortgage is sold to them.

Lucky me, I was laid off by 2 of them during the past 15 years of this consolidation within the food industry.

As a compensation professional, I can tell you that the consolidation of every major industry into a few major mega-corps (Pharma, Med Tech, Electronics, Accounting/Audit, etc) not only impacts the product/service choices we have as consumers, but it also suppresses labor costs. They no longer have dozens of competitors for skilled talent, can consolidate pay levels at the lowest common denominator within each mega-corp and don’t have to worry so much about employees being able to go across the street for higher pay.

All those brands are symbols of poison. Fast carbs and PUFAs are basically just poison. Yet its a trillion dollar industry. And it creates three times as much in health care spending. In fact, if you analyze these numbers in a specific manner, you can reach the conclusion that nearly 20% of GDP revolves around the peddling of pure poison to the sheeple. And they just eat it up like rats eating up rat poison off mouse traps. Numbers this outrageous hint towards the presence of a truly demonic supernatural or extraterrestrial influence over the human mind…
