I know what a Cabal is. But It's ironic you mention that time period. When it was the same time period that Government... yes the Government gave Corporations ultimate power to create Billion Dollar monopolies. The assumption that Government and Corporations are adversaries, when they are in fact companions is where the disingenuous conversations start. That "checks and balances" brainwashing we all got in school
Does “We the People” Include Corporations?
"Throughout American legal history, corporations have been near the first in line to claim various constitutional rights. This was true when it came to corporations’ claiming rights protecting private property and rights protecting the right to contract. The Supreme Court considered the property rights of corporations in Terrett v. Taylor, 13 U.S. 43 (1815). In Terrett, the Episcopal Church (a corporation) asserted property rights over certain land. The Supreme Court stated that the property rights were not disturbed by the Revolutionary War. And as the Supreme Court stated: “[T]he dissolution of the regal government no more destroyed the right to possess or enjoy this property than it did the right of any other corporation or individual to his or its own property[.]”
"Corporations were very aggressive in asserting Fourteenth Amendment rights after the Civil War. We have the likes of former U.S. Senator Roscoe Conkling to thank for the extension of Equal Protection to corporations. Conkling helped draft the Fourteenth Amendment. He argued as an expert witness in 1882 in San Mateo County v. Southern Pacific Rail Road that the Fourteenth Amendment is not limited to natural persons. He produced a journal that seemed to show that the Joint Congressional Committee that drafted the Fourteenth Amendment vacillated between using “citizen” and “person” and the drafters chose “person” specifically to include corporations. According to historians, Conkling was simply lying. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court embraced Conkling’s reading of the Fourteenth Amendment, not in the San Mateo County case, but rather in a footnote four years later in 1886 in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Rail Road. "
Civil Rights for Black people was 1964 right? The Supreme Court gave Corporations Civil Rights in 1882. What is that, 82 years before Black people got theirs?
So enough with the pretend adversarial viewpoint. Government has a direct hand Corporations decimating and taking control of the country and the people in it
bring the guillotine out
What a surprise. If you read your ancient history, you would know that none of this is new and that is how it always been going back to the ancient Romans.
