Call it paranoia, post Cold War dementia or the inevitable decline of optimism in the face of consistently depressing and increasingly pessimistic examples of human depravity gone mad, but the idea of the world eventually being commandeered and co-opted by ruthless big business has been the order of the day for some time, and the human race has yet to come to terms with it.
Ever since 1984, Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ in the form of faceless, soulless corporations have been biding their time, lulling us into a false sense of security before ingesting us into their nefarious maw of corruption and bedevilment; where do you think the whole idea for ‘baby’ monitors came from? Think about it people.
Multinational corporations now control most of the current global economic parameters which supersede governments and countries, treaties and borders, philosophies and ideals even Khloes and Kourtneys. Profit is where it’s at, Daddio, and baby needs a new pair of shoes. So on the down side, civilization has succumbed to the evils of pure greed, but on the plus side, chicken sandwiches are now made without bread; can you say ‘win-win’ Batman?
So who are these giant conglomerate mega overlords you may ask? Just posing the question has probably put you on their radar, so dress in muted colors and stay indoors. Nothing to worry about; strictly a precaution. It’s not like these twisted, corrupt, paranoid entities would be monitoring any and all criticism of their perverse machinations…Shh…you’ve said too much already. This conversation never happened…
By way of passing, these are currently the ten richest corporations on Earth by company assets…but you didn’t hear it from me…
10) Royal Dutch Shell – Company Assets: $357.5 billion
In 1985, America’s Shell Chemicals acquired both Britain’s Shell Transport and the Netherlands’ Royal Dutch petroleum to become Royal Dutch Shell. The company is a leader in the research and development of both petrochemical and alternative energy sources, and since the turn of the century has made enormous investments in massive Chinese and Russian oil fields. Based in The Hague, the corporation is number ten on the list with assets of $357.5 billion.
