If we want to bring an end to the entrenched lexicon of injustice, torture, ecological destruction and petty fascist tyrants (e.g. Cheney and Bush), then we have to take out the corporations. To corporations, people are incidental, expendable, as is the planet, and indigenous cultures and spiritualities. Corporations are the direct beneficiaries of government policy and law, wars are fought in the name of furthering corporate interests and the military are merely the hitmen, while the police ensure domestic compliance with the newly defined \"democracy\" and \"freedoms\".

The vulnerability of a great majority of the Fortune 500 corporations concerns a direct consumer. The consumer is their economic base. That\'s you and me, basically, along with several hundred million others across the world. We all know the arguments against the corporate-induced stupor and dependency that characterizes most of us consumers. We can make the corporations know that we are not passive.

Hit \'em where it hurts ... their shares, their dividends, their goddam profit margins. And that means we have to disconnect their feedlines into our veins. It is a deconditioning, a de-brain washing, traumatic support and recovery. How do we survive (corporate) civilisation? I like Diderot: \"Men (sic) will only be free when the last king is strangled by the entrails of the last priest\". It needs a little updating, but is still as relevant today as then.

Amen.
