- if you think that you will read this story and enjoy it because there is a character to be ‘sympathic’ with, forget it – 3 characters, no sympathy, no latitude… with apologies to Spalding Gray, Jonathan Swift and filmmaker, writer Joel Bakan, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan.  ).

Now that Canada has made a documentary, The Corporation, where it has an id, ego and super ego (see www.thecorporation.com and http://stupiditythemovie.com/

Also for reference purposes, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0394710363/102-2802019-5747366?v=glance (Freud and Man's Soul by Bruno Bettelheim) for the correct translation of id, ego etc. as it, I, above I – but be careful, it may change your life…and hell I’ll even throw in www. ….
And if you haven’t seen Wake Up and Smell the Coffee by Eric Bogosian…
Ok, corporations, the final solution.

It starts off with Africa. Africa is a problem. Even Bono is concerned and gets told to butt out by the Canadian Ambassador to the UN (see http://stupiditythemovie.com/). First, many of the countries have a 50% AIDs epidemic. Normally, that would be fine as long as sex tourists would stay away, as they would all die and solve that problem. But these country’s are bold enough to want a reduction on medications for AIDS. And, really, for what purpose. To prolong the life of a lot of stupid peasants who are useless. So this whole idea of ‘the final solution’ really started with the American Pharmaceutical Lobby : http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Pharmaceutical_Research_and_Manufacturers_of_America
They are huge corporations and they want to make their fortunes on Americans with AIDS as those losers will die anyway, as well. But reduced or free meds for stupid African peasants – fuck no! No huge profits, no fucking way.

So some drug rep somewhere floated this idea. Let a large corporation, made up of some top Forbes numbers, take over a no  name African country that most people haven’t even heard of, let alone care about. They had their pick – say :
Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Niger, Sao Tome and Principe, Togo…
Take your pick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_continent#Africa)
There’s been so many changes since the country was picked, that I can even remember and what does it matter?

The only obstacle was the United States of America. And that’s where that pharmaceutical lobby came in real handy. The US had only 3 conditions:
1) the country had to have the potential of large oil deposits
2) the country could not have close ties with the Chinese
3) and the President had to be Lewis Libby

Libby was maybe a bad choice as he was a bit of a loose cannon. The Daily Show’s recommendation of execution for treason would have been better.

Problems
The take over was easy. There were even volunteer countries. Canada requested that the Turks and Caicos be picked but the U.S. turned them down as they knew that Canada was just trying to get T. and C. off their back wanting to be an 11th Province (with no water!) So really there was no opposition to crush. Not much anyway. Not too many people died and no invaders (mostly rejects from the Foreign Legion, Campus Police Forces, National Guard, losers).

But still President Libby knew that there were only 2 choices: fake elections or just a dictator from the get go. And if there was an election, some ajinabi  (alien in Swahili). And Jimmy Carter would be snooping around. So dictator.

Now to take care of the health concerns. It is fairly well known that Hitler first used the gas chambers for the mental hospital patients who at that time were mostly ‘mentally handicapped’. Adjusting the DNA supply and saving money.

So the Housing Authority was set up to work closely with the Health Authority to take care of the problem of AIDS. However, Libby having read ‘A Modest Proposal’ (http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html ) was advised to put use to the resulting millions of bodies. And guess what? Bones make an excellent building material for the Housing Authority to use to build those new schools and hospitals for the 50 % not ‘cleansed’.

The way it looked on paper was the exact opposite of the short term results. Suddenly, unemployment was unheard of. And what does that mean – that’s right, boys and girls, it means civil war and invasions from the neighboring countries. Civil war because the cleansing changed the tribal ratios, and invasions because of the low unemployment. And as ‘luck’ would have it, for some reason, the rebels and invaders both wanted the now oil rich frontiers.

Borders were sealed, armies armed, and Libbydom entered into crisis mode. This is when Libby showed his true colors of strength of leadership. He called Bush and the pharma lobby to an emergency meeting held in Paris as Libbydom was now reinfected as those hords from the enemy had AIDS.

Libby and Ollie thought it went well. Bush was there with CEOs of some top pharmaceutical companies. The US promised a few cruise missiles and of course blanket bombing of the ‘terrorists’. The Pharma lobby was mostly silent as they said that the Aids reoccurrence could be handled and that IBM would be sending in a registration expert.

When Air Force One was flying back, Bush and the lobby agreed that Libby had to go. Bush phoned the CIA and put out the hit. By the time Air Force One had landed back in the US of A, there had been and assasinatation attempt on Libby at Libbydom International Airport. % bodyguards were killed, the ‘terrorists’ were all killed, and Libby was wounded. He knew – he could smell CIA about 3 miles away. He declared martial law and consulted with North who immediately headed North. We know that France turned him down, so rumors have him in Libya or Costa Rica.

Libbydom had applied to be in the G8 and was now rejected. China and Russia were mostly silent. The Pharma lobby decided that condoms would no longer be free for Libbydom. Mass demonstrations were crushed and a peace treaty was signed with the rebels and waring neighbours splitting the profits with Shell. All support from the US is stopped, sending the country in to agricultural evolution and starvation. The Chinese sent in consultants and built a brand new jet Airport, called after the original country’s name. Some just called it ‘with six you get egg roll’ – WSYGER (pronounced ‘whisker’).

The country regained in seat in both the UN and the African equivalent. The Washington Post exposed Bush and the Pharma Lobby, which immediately pulled all support from Bush.

And that is the crisis as I report. President Jed Bush had resigned. Cheney was admitted to the hospital and the third in command (Congress) has taken over, suggesting a delay in the next election. What with the Euro now being the World currency, recession figures have the DOW at 2000.
