Arol: The international corporate cartels. That's the minority. They rule with currency, which buys them presidents, congresses, countries. They don't run for anything, they just dictate the policies to the politicians who run countries. Their only morality is what Mobil Oil said many years ago and I've used this quote often, "We are an amoral, profit-making institution, our only allegiance is to our stockholders." That is a corporate mission statement which is not a philosophy any of us can live with, and we're not; we're not living well with it. We're all suffering because it's wrong. They're saying they're neither immoral nor moral, they're amoral... Neutral. Bullshit! Their morality, their religion, their devotion, is to profit. It's not to people. It's not to the welfare of children, nor the welfare of the planet, nor the health, safety and happiness of their fellow citizens. And that's Exxon with their, what, $30 billion profit this year? The most profit they've ever made, rationalizing it... excusing it. Everybody who heard it knows war and profit go together. Come on! People get upset by this and outraged, but there’s no place to go with that! That's the ruling philosophy. Our president and his bunch defend it. The more money the better. It makes monsters out of them all. The ones who are most respected and admired in this country are the ones who have the most money. And how do you get the most money? You grab those pennies every which way you can, you rip off whoever you can for whatever you can and call it, this rip-off, the “free enterprise system”. Anybody who owns a credit card knows this. They'll squeeze you for any extra penny. Those are the respected people in the world—the penny pinchers and money grubbers.
So it's got to shift. There's a different security than money. The ultimate security is in people. But, you can't change anything by sending a representative to Washington D.C.. That place doesn't even know what's going on. D.C. is a closed society. Even if you sent a good, want-to-do-great-things person there, it's like putting a drop of pure water in a sewer. The sewer is going to swallow it up.
