A Review of The Corporation

5. December 2009 by admin.

This documentary goes into great detail to show us how the ‘Corporation, being a legal entity’, qualifies as an individual and has been given living privileges which go under scrutiny of a mock psychiatrist and are diagnosed as being psychopath. Listed below are the six signs of a complete psychopath:

• Callous unconcern for the feelings of others.
• Reckless disregard for the safety of others.
• Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships
• Deceitfulness; repeated lying and conning others for profit
• Capacity to experience quilt
• Failure to conform to social norm with respect to lawful behaviors.

The case study that really caught my eye was the ‘Investigators-News Reporters’ TV show aired by FOX TV. Two of their former employees were supposed to report the facts as they found it. The show had really cool smoke effects etc. and was supposed to be really impressive. Until, FOX decided to not report the revealed facts. A company named Monsanto was promoting a chemical Posilac in a commercial and stated that there would be “lost income opportunity” if you didn’t give this drug to your cows. The drug was harmful causing unnecessary pain, suffering and distress for the cows. The cow’s uterus becomes infected and the infected puss drips into the milk taken from them. The milk then makes its way to the grocery store shelves with hidden bacteria in it. “Reckless disregard for the safety of others” people didn’t know about it because Monsato paid off the lawyers to keep it hush hush.

The employees were fired from FOX TV because they wouldn’t do the show. The lawyers from Monsanto had met with FOX TV and on purpose changed the words to make it not look so bad. The employees sued FOX TV and were awarded a lot of money. But, again the rich Corporate found a loophole and said that falsifying reports was not a crime. How can that not be a crime? “Deceitfulness; repeated lying and conning others for profit” they on purpose sell this milk knowing it can harm people, and took back the award money.

I am curious about the employees who work at dairy farms. If the drug Posilac is being given to their cows, how many know about it and are keeping it quite. Do they buy and drink the milk? “Capacity to experience guilt” how can they live with themselves?

One of the reformed CEO’s made a statement about knowingly selling a chemical that was going to kill a living organism. He compared it to shooting someone with a gun. This would be a crime. As long as you can see a crime right away, it’s a crime. If you can’t see it right away then who will ever know what really caused their death? “Callous unconcern for the feelings of others” we started with the birth of a corporation and are ending up with death of a corporation.

Finally I would like to have the list for the top 100 Corporations. A list of the laws they have broken. Monsanto, Eli Lilly, Upjohn, & American Cyanamid - would get $500 Million from marketing rbST worldwide. Some of the Companies, here in the U.S. actually look for the most desperate people in need; the ones that have no food, or water, and live overseas to help bless, by building them factories in their country. They use them to keep more of their money over here in the U.S. When they are done with the first batch of desperate people, they dump them and find more. “Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships” If they signed up with the ‘Social Responsibility’ website and made a pledge to change something they were doing wrong to the environment within their company. Did they follow through with their pledge? Or are they still breaking the law? I would like to see their sales volume and how much they spend on advertising. “Failure to conform to social norm with respect to lawful behaviors” do they pass the test?
