Money Talks


Some of us here at Bloody Nib Manor have never been big fans of Big Business. We've never been big fans of Big Labor either, but that's another story. Big Business has shown, especially within the past thirty years, that it (we'll assume for a moment that Big Business is a single entity because many big businesses share the same philosophy) is willing to sell out the welfare of the nation in which it is based for money. Examples abound. Boeing outsourcing components for the 777 and the Dreamliner to China, Japan, India, France, Italy and Great Britain instead of using American talent and skills, Wal-Mart selling goods made in China by what amounts to slave labor, and the use of customer service centers in India for telephone enquiries by almost every computer and Internet company, are only a few examples. Add to this the hiring of illegal immigrants to do "work that Americans won't do," to quote George Bush.

Big Business looks after its own interests and its own security. In fact, Big Business seems to be able to look after and address problems regarding security and the turning of a dollar much more effectively than do national governments. Consider this story:Middle East Times . The companies in question are based in France, of all places. Could it be that the Fat Cats will be the vanguard against the encroaching dhimmitude?
