John D. Rockefeller used Pinkertons for the same purpose in W. Virginia coal mines. The fabric weaving business also used spies to quell "union talk" into the 1960s and possibly beyond.

And Pennsylvanian coal mines. Pinkerton has a dark history.

In our pain discussion the other day I forgot to mention that my doc gives me two Tramadols a day which keeps the pain bearable but doesn't make you FEEL GOOD.

Those Billions.

Plus the public has outlived it's utility in the eyes of these scumbags.

They plan on drastically culling the global herd.

Spying on "the useless eaters" is probably considered virtuous by these demons...

Shit, i could have written all that.
I'll tell you one thing I have learned from history, and that is it doesn't always go the way of the useless elite either. The Russian elites were totally blindsided by the revolution, as were the filthy French elites by their revolution. The Roman elites by the invasion of the goths, The native american and australian aboriginal elites by the invasion of the white races from northern Europe.
Nothing lasts forever, no matter how far up the food chain you are.

Good point.

I think they messed up when they made Gates their front man.

Even the brainwashed public had to notice something was clearly off with this guy.

I wonder how they get on with the lockdowns? Has anyone kept an eye on those fancy restaurants the elite love to frequent? Probably even their private clubs are closed because of it. That's the sort of info that leaks out hey. Gates was an idiot, all that money and he marries some scrag for his workforce. In his position I would have stayed single until I found an Armenian princess.

    Corporatism is the organization of the economy into corporate groups based upon industry, usually into democratic federations.

    This is just Capitalism.

    It's always important to remember that Amazon's founder owns the Washington Post, a very lefty newspaper.

    It's all a lie. Companies haven't stopped believing conservative beliefs, they've just started pretending they're super liberal so woke idiots don't question them anymore.

    They never believed in "conservative beliefs" — the only thing these people believe in is money. They worked with the National Socialists, they worked with the Russian Communists, and they'll work with anyone who can deepen their pockets.

    It's always been the Working-class which has sustained Conservatism — it's always been the workin' man who cared more about doing what's right than doing what's more profitable. The Upper-class always tries to sell Conservatism as a pro-business ideology, when in reality it's quite anti-business, with all these "morals" and "standards".

    And to be fair, they ain't Liberals either, they just pretend to be because it makes them more money.

    That's fair. It's about dividing us to get power, not a particular ideology.

    Yep. One hand plays Conservative, the other hand plays Liberal — but both hands are controlled by Wall Street. They peddle extremist policies to divide the America People, but they both vote on policies that help the elite!

    I don't trust the communist unions, and I don't trust the capitalist corporations. The unions should be watched — they're vectors of Communism — but so should the very companies that shipped our jobs overseas and allowed China to buy our Nation out from under us.

    I wonder if they still carry blackjacks and submachine guns.
