On April 10th, 2021, in a first-of-its-kind Zoom conference call, more than 100 corporate executives from among the largest corporations in the world met to discuss halting donations and investments to all who opposed their desire to strike down controversial voting bills. Four days later on April 14, they signed a statement opposing what they deemed, “discriminatory legislation”, that would require a valid ID to cast a vote and add protection for mail in ballots that would make elections more secure.
This open unification of corporations comes at the same time as their dramatic shift to the left in monetary spending on both social agendas and Marxist governmental policies. Moving in unison with greater coordination between themselves and the banking system in tandem with the new radical governmental policies, they are now creating a centralization of power over both the financial sector and the political system, while imposing increased restrictions and control upon the citizenry.
In the early 20th Century, Benito Mussolini, a convert from communism to fascism stated:
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
Mussolini as a young Marxist had come to embrace Corporatism seeing that government did not need to own the corporations to control them. In essence you could be a fine Marxist by essentially masking your control as capitalism while also providing selfish incentives to companies that would make them more profitable. You make monopolies, monopolies make you. That is fascism.
In the past, corporations had hedged their bets by financing both political parties. No matter who won elections, even if they hated their politics, they would still maintain financial influence in policy making. Those days are past. Seeing a Democrat monopoly finally overwhelming the balance of power in the Capital, they are now all in on what has been their preference all along. There is no longer any need to support the opposition party with the exception of those who are prone to capitulate to their agendas, of which, there are not a few. In the mind of the Marxist elites, it is now; the time has come for a complete overthrow of the status quo, which in essence is a political coup against the American people by the united effort of both corporate and state powers.
Dressed as heroes in their social marketing campaigns, corporations have now become political. Portraying themselves as advocates of oppressed victims and the saviors of the planet from all the evils of white hegemony, together with the government they are now threatening to become what would seem an insurmountable force. Working together in tandem with politicians who they have either threatened, bribed, or bought outright, they not only seek to solidify their monopolies in industry, but to become part of a quasi-governmental entity after the order of Benito Mussolini. Thus, America as it is governed at the moment has become a fascist power.
The next step which the Marxist elites have already become engaged in is to crush all opposition. This they did more carefully in the beginning by supporting Marxist ideologues, but now having sufficient political and judicial power behind them as they move forward, they do without fear. Deeming themselves as all-knowing-gods, exercising a self-righteous piety in unison with the ruling class above and the street revolutionaries below, they have united in their message of “wokeness’ to manipulate the ignorant masses into helping them crush freedom.
Politicians and Corporate leaders are now of one mind and they give their power to the Beast they are. Politicos no longer truly run the county alone, it is the Corporate-Industrial-Complex of Leviathans: an oligarchy of the rich and powerful. Together they are the ones who are determined decide what you may see and hear, and they will deprive all those who do not bow the knee to worship them of their ability to be seen or heard—and in time, to hinder their ability to operate freely or viably exist in society.
Small business were the life of liberty—many owners, of many minds and diverse ideologies filling out the full political spectrum and balancing the competing ideas of a free republic—those who remain are now a dying breed. Virtually all the vast sums of money and power are now in the hands of but a few. The fail-safe against corporations becoming monopolies and from there, becoming a quasi-government with like minded politicos is gone.
Where are we today?
At this point it appears that the Corporate-Industrial-Complex has succeed in attaining the power needed to advance to the next step and is well on its way to attaining its global aspirations—onward to a “Great Reset”.
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and cause me to tremble for safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed.” - a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln which appeared in the 1800s. The authenticity and origin of the quote are debated; but what does that matter? It has now become a proven truth.
God is the only hope. He was always was, but too few realized it or kept it in mind.
Extortion used to be illegal.
Still is if you aren’t aligned with BLM.
Yeah, but the Mob finally figure out they didn’t have to go to prison for the things they were doing if they got elected.
Time to fine these corporations for illegal campaign contributions-in-kind as well as illegal foreign lobbying for their Communist Chinese masters.
everything seems to be in place but there is a missing piece to the puzzle. they cannot force to buy their products/services. national name brands, in addition to being woke, fund the LEFTIST media which is crucial in propping up this facade.
buy local/generic as much as you can. the only message they will hear is to their bottom line.
its a twofer. starve the woke big business and the woke big media their advertising funds.

I have already started boycotting Coke. It's not much, but if others do likewise, it will leave a mark.
Will this be a litmus test for hiring and promotions as well?
Name the corporations.
I think we’ve fallen into the abyss.
Government/education/labor/business/law enforcement all on the lefty playbook.
