The
American people realize now that the war waged against Iraq in the end
poured in favor of giant companies are on the edge of the fingers .. Is
no longer a citizen there is incredible the existence of weapons of
mass destruction - or Iraq's relationship with al Qaeda - but merely an
economic war intended to buy more weapons, oil, and request a larger
budget for the army and the Ministry of Defence (and this is the
so-called reconstruction of Iraq, which acquired thanks to civil
companies to $ 87 billion) ..
We
all remember the scandal company Hlaiborton oil which was headed by
Vice President Dick Cheney, accused of draining the U.S. government
through the sale of the fuel supplied by the army in Iraq (which emerged
during the discussions witnessed by the U.S. Congress on the enormous
sums and the exceptional request of former President George W. Bush to
fund military operations there) ..
Add
to this the Pentagon bought the additional quantities and types of new
weapons to move it and took care of the arms industry lobby and aviation
in Washington (which is mainly funded by companies Boeing and Lockheed
Martin and Northrop)!
The
scandal of the occupation of Iraq - which paid for a U.S. citizen in
the first place - just a model for firms' ability to control the huge
American policy abroad ..
I
wrote an article last January (titled: Government companies hidden)
when I pointed to the submission and Washington - that are known to
influence the world - to the interests of big corporations .. I
said then that in addition to these political patronage has giant
companies with huge budgets and the influence of economic help to
penetrate the political fabric of most countries (especially in light of
its alliance with the corrupt politicians, or local agents shared her
cake)!
Day
and questioned by some commentators on the article in the idea than any
global company - regardless of size - on the national sovereignty of
any State .. But
the truth is that the giant corporations and transnational (especially
listed in the Forbes list of top 500 companies in the world) have
advantages and influence and budgets is difficult for the average person
imaginable ...
For example, the budget of the top ten global companies today, equivalent to one hundred smallest countries in the UN!
The top 500 global company controls 44% of the wealth of nations!!
And one hundred largest economic bloc in the world is limited to 50 companies in 50 countries and only!!
And
five international companies controlled only 40% of the aerospace,
electronics, communications, computer, information, oil, steel and coal.
And
ten international companies only controls more than half of world food
production stages of planting and until his arrival to the consumer!!
And only four companies controlled 90% of the production of wheat, sugar, coffee and tea ...
And four media agencies alone controlled 85% of the global news and information!!
The
original U.S. companies controlled only 80% of the film industry and
35% of the music industry and 30% of the means of publication on the
world!
And entered the Shell and Exxon oil income than the majority population of year!
Shell
alone has the right to explore in 400 million acres around the world
which makes it controls the largest area of any of the 146 countries
in the UN!!

By the end of last year 2011 outperformed the market value of Apple on
the income of Argentina, Austria, Greece and South Africa .. The GDP of the Group Arab countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia and Algeria!!
*
The sales of General Motors Corporation (which returned to first place
as the greatest manufacturing company cars) has clearly been outgunned
budget Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Zaire
(combined) ..
*
Even Bill Gates's wealth (the founder of Microsoft's fourth most
valuable company in the world) and so increase the annual income for all
citizens of the former!
... Terrible
after all this that the citizen in the countries concerned do not feel
the influence of global corporations (and intercontinental) being always
working behind the scenes and through local governments - if not
through corrupt politicians, it is through local agents share her point
of sharing of the cake -!!
