giant multinational corporations:
telling it like it is, and keeping us safe

The giant multinational corporation is an example of a Disciplinary Institution.

Some of the first corporations to "have an impact" on the Americas were fur companies and the slave trade.

Their impact was disciplinary: a reset and a series of new normals.

They changed the local cultures by any means necessary.

America is run by commerce, not by a "government" of any legitimacy or function.
