(I started a reply to Booman’s recent Read It and Weep post, which is basically about gigantic corporate interests’ manipulation of the power of the U.S. economy (and of course its military if push comes to shove) to discourage breastfeeding in place of the various quite accurately named “formula” breastmilk substitutes…chemical formulae used to make profit (as do all formulae that supposedly replace the natural world’s eons of cautious evolution) that only result in eventually furthering the ill health of their victims. It grew. Here it is as a standalone. Read it and weep? Maybe. Or…read it and think!!! Please.)

Just more evidence of the “alieness” of it all.
Long ago and far away there was a classic Twilight Zone episode called “To Serve Man”…aliens arrive promising to help humanity, including bringing many humans to their own planet to learn their ways. Too late, a linguist finds a way to translate their supposed outline of how they are going to help humans, “To Serve Man.”
Turns out it’s a cookbook.
Duh.
Of course, the makeup department made the aliens look like large, evil beings from some kind of terrible nightmare and the poor, stupid humans just couldn’t see the resemblance, but…hey…take a good look at Trump, please.
A really good look.
I have said here many times that anyone who allows or in any way supports the efforts of others that result in civilians being massacred, and/or enslaved, and/or brought down to the lowest form of survival level is…at the very least…”alien” to the basic human feelings and desires of the vast majority of the people on earth.
We in the U.S. are…and have been for most of the last 50+ years…ruled by this sort of “alien.” Are they genetically human? I suppose so, but I certainly would like to see some proof. I will tell you one thing, though. Corporations are certainly not human, no matter how the laws of the land might define them…laws (and supposed lawmakers) that those corporations have bought, lock, stock and barrel over the past 50+years. They are simply gigantic, bottom-line entities that are entirely based on the idea of continuing quarterly profit, nothing more and nothing less. If that means destroying parts of the ecosphere and massively reducing the population of the earth and its ways of life? OK, as long as the bottom line is met. This is all rather…shortsighted…unless of course the systems that run this corporate empire have themselves already evolved beyond human control and are now in a position where they do not much care whether humans survive at all as long as the corporate/incorporated (See below.) machines can maintain their own being.
Dos this sound far-fetched to you?
Maybe.
But remember…almost every politician or political system in earth’s history has claimed that it is here to do what?
To Serve Man.
Word.
What to do about this?
Damned if I know.
But I do keep looking.
What I see today?
Donald Trump is the most “alienist” creature that I have ever seen in a position of real power.
Putin, too.
They make Hitler, Stalin and Mao look like neighborhood gang bosses.
Is it time to resist before it’s too late?
With other, lesser alienist creatures like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as our leaders? Themselves closely allied with creatures like Benjamin Netanyahu?
Think on it.
It’s going to eventually come down to eat or be eaten.
Feel like supper?
As I quoted recently in a standalone:
Enjoy your dinners, guys.
You may be the main course.
AG
P.S. The etymology of the word “corporate” stems from the Latin word “corpus.”
Body.
“Incorporate” as used above?
Corporate/incorporated machines that can maintain their own being?
Like dat.
We been infested.
Sounds a lot like “invested,” doesn’t it?
Yup.
We’re just here to keep the bank running.
Bet on it…that is, if you have any money that’s worth anything.
Bet on that as well.
