The War Against Humanity; Targeting the Real Axis of Evil
originally published byOpEdNews.com April 12, 2003
The War Against Humans. For over 100 years, science fiction writers have described inventions that have turned against humanity. These inventions have killed and enslaved humans, and literally attempted to modify the earth to fit their own interests, even if it meant creating toxic, poisonous ecologies humans could not survive in. For example, T1 and T2, the Terminator movie series, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, portrayed a robot that represented a whole world of computers and robots that wanted to wipe out or enslave humanity and re-shape the earth to the machine's needs. But this was fiction.
The reality is that the invention turned mad, turned anti-human killer, enslaver,and earth destroyer is real. It exists. It has been killing, enslaving, poisoning humans and destroying the earth for well over 100 years, and it is now, more than ever in man's short history, at a point where it most seriously threatens humanity's future existence. But its no robot. It's the megacorporation. It is time the remaining humans on the planet who have not been seduced and blinded by these enemies of humanity declare war on them, their proxy organizations and the people who get rich and fat by parasitizing the rest of humanity. We progressives on the left should learn from the Bush White House and the Iraq war. Soldiers are now carrying around a deck of 55 cards with pictures of "most wanted" leaders of the Saddam regime who are to be pursued, captured or killed. (U.S. Issues Most Wanted Iraqi List). First things first. We need to declare that there is indeed an "evil empire." it consists of Bush, his cronies, the neocons, corrupt megacorporations, the WTO, WB, IMF. These are the individuals and entities who have a concrete international record of lawbreaking, terrorism, murder, enslavement, contribution to riot, destabilization of nations, disruption of healthy trade and business, exploitation of resources and untold incidents of inhumane treatment of citizens and workers. That's just for starters. We can also add some US congressmen, senators, governors and other legislators and state employees to that list. Capos, or helpers to these traitors to democracy who will join the ranks of Stalin, Hitler and Saddam include centrist Democrats like Zell Miller and John Breaux. And we should also identify the voting districts that send the evil ones and their assistants, and we should boycott their products and services.
We need to create a deck of cards like our troops are carrying-- a list of the most evil, world ruining people, companies and organizations. And they should be the targets of the peace demonstrators. They should be the targets of protests and boycotts. If you belong to an organization that holds annual meetings, make sure it does not go to a state that has corrupt computerized voting machines, or that sends traitors to democracy to the congress (DeLay, Hagel, Lott, Katherine Harris.)
We have to recognize that this was a war that corrupt corporations brought about (not all corporations are bad.) Just watch them beat the drums of war at Fox News, or listen to the right wing-nut radio hosts. Clear Channel even funds pro-war rallies led by their right wing fanatic talk, no, make that rant-hate show hosts.
We need to let people who work for these companies know they are working for the most evil entities on the planet. We need to inform people shopping at stores that support the "evil empire" that they are supporting child and slave labor. We need to awaken Americans to the fact that the WTO and it's cohorts are anti-democratic tools the megacorporations use to circumvent and over-rule laws that we the people vote into effect democratically. These organizations and their advocates are the enemy. They should be the targets of our protests, our boycotts, and the war it is time we the people declare.
Does the word "war" bother you? It bothers me. Characterizing what the WTO and megacorporations do as a "war" against humanity and democracy seems just fine. I don't have a problem with that. But I don't want to start a war or declare a war. But it's hard to deny that we are already under attack, have been for a century, and that the weapons the enemy has used have become so much more powerful, onerous and threatening in the last decade that we are in mortal danger. So it's not like we are "Declaring" a war, more like we are finally recognizing the real enemy.

A few declarations.
-While I'm registered as a Democrat, I consider myself to be a dynamic critic of the Democratic party, just as, well, not quite as much, but almost as much as I am a critic of republicans.
-My articles express my personal opinion, not the opinion of this website.
Mega corporations have been able to tremendously increase their level of unrelenting greed and corruption the past two decades. Laws and trade agreements have been passed or ignored to their benefit. The mantra that enables this increase is the notion that if government would just get out of the way these big corporations would work wonders for mankind. Government has got out of their way when it comes to enforcing laws or siding with labor, but it still is very connected to corporations when they need subsidies, tax cuts,trade agreements or legislation written expressly for them.
Every decision the Bush administration has made has been on the side of corporate interests. That's why he will go down in history as the worst president in history. The private sector is also full of morons in high level positions just like Washington. Their short sighted and profit at all cost mentality can and will destroy a nation even as great as the United States.
Americans should do what ever is necessary to take back their country from its enslavement by large multinational corporations. These contraptions and the false religion of free trade present, by far, the most danger to the survival of our democracy.

..even more so today than in 2003. It is like reading prophecy. There are fewer and fewer places to shop; support; patronize than ever. We need a return to the marketplace - what used to be the heart of the community- local, accountable small businesses, owned by the people who work them. Thanks, Rob. Please keep speaking truth to power.

Wikipedia states about the origin of the phrase "military-industrial complex" :"The first public use of the term was by the Union of Democratic Control, formed by Sir Charles Trevelyan in the United Kingdom on 5 August 1914. Point Four of their pacifist manifesto declared: 4. National armaments should be limited by mutual agreement, and the pressures of the military-industrial complex regulated by the nationalisation of armaments firms and control over the arms trade."
The excellent documentary "Why We Fight" states that Eisenhower originally intended to use the phrase "military-industrial-congressional complex" in his January 1961 Farewell Address to the nation.
Building on these uses, I propose the easily-pronounced acronym MICFiC -
M ilitary
I ndustrial
C ongressional
Fi nancial
C orporate Media Complex
- a conspiracy to use, abuse, and confuse the people, to "milk, shear, and slaughter the sheeple", figuratively speaking - except the slaughter is literal.

Corporations with all their capital can influence many other things beside elections. Americans need to know were the ACLU gets its funding completely, then people would know its just a worthless corporate owned vehicle to increase profits or ideology of out of touch elitists. Our education system has also been corrupted by corporate funding of business schools. They are busy teaching our next generation that free trade is the only way and that its perfectly OK to out source everything to China or anywhere slave labor is available.

The one invariable trait of evil involves the the dehumanization of man. It may take the form of human beings becoming things, or things being exalted over human beings. Making in ones mind, one person less deserving of our respect, denigrates all of us.
