Introducing the Advocacy Corporation

Few people can argue that the United States has radically changed over the last 10 years - but many wonder why.

It is not uncommon knowledge that corporations are here to make a profit. That is a good thing - we want a healthy economy. Capitalism is the ONLY economic system that preserves free choice by letting the market decide what is good and bad for the people. Yet what you may not know is that PROFIT IS THE ONLY LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY of a corporation.


THEY MUST MAKE A PROFIT FOR THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. It does not matter how they do that according to the legal definition of a corporation. Even if the people in the Corporation were a bunch of peace and love environmentalists or Born Again Christians or if Jesus Christ himself were at the head of a Corporation - HE WOULD STILL BE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO MAKE A PROFIT.

In other words, this has nothing to do with a person - good, bad or indifferent. The structure demands this behavior (it's amoral like a building), and this structure is cast in the mold of a psychopath (i.e. they have zero empathy), so all it MUST do is make more profit upon more profit upon more profit regardless of the consequences (externalities). Period. It's like trying to argue with a raging bull - you cannot reason with it - just get the hell out of it's way (however it is good that we have good upstanding moral people who run corporations - otherwise we would REALLY have a problem).


This is all but an annoyance in a world that has borders (i.e. they only put shows on television and in theaters that have sex, violence, drug use and pointing out people's faults because that's what sells - Jerry Springer taught us that) - so we don't get intellectually stimulated or engaged - small price to pay.

However, in a FLAT WORLD - where you are competing with every other man woman and child on this planet for a job (and you probably don't know that) - this translates into outsourcing your job to China. Your employer can build the widget cheaper there. You are expendable. Tough luck - you lazy people, pull yourselves up by the bootstraps, stop expecting the state to take care of you and learn something new :).

If only it was that simple. At least the media informs the people so we CAN know we need to start retraining now and we have the government, social programs, lawyers, advocacy groups, churches, the ACLU, ad nauseum to make sure that people don't end up on the streets.... that was 10 years ago.

Where We Were 10 Years Ago:

So what has changed? Take a look.

Where We Are Today:

What We Need NOW - Introducing the Advocacy Corporation

Without some force advocating that the people of a democracy remain informed - a democracy is dead. We are now at this point where the amount of money required to continue to inform the people is growing exponentially in a time where there are changes occurring on the planet RIGHT NOW that are as significant as the invention of the light bulb (and you probably do not know that).

Let me explain some things to you. Thomas Friedman wrote in the book the "The World Is Flat" that AFTER the dot com bust billions of dollars of fiber optic cable was laid down to China and India - this effectively connected the whole world together on a global web based platform.

The REAL reason behind the dot com boom was that businesses saw that they could take a process, break it apart and digitize it so that they could farm that process out across the planet to the cheapest labor market (i.e. seek the CHEAPEST way of producing a widget for the dollar and the shareholders of the corporations). Our educational system, political system and our social social systems - nothing we have right now though government or the media HAS REMOTELY PREPARED US FOR THIS.

Put simply, very soon I can imagine a day where you are in a hospital and will request a meal that will be taken by a call center in India, sent to the short order cook in your hospital over fiber cable under the ocean and then sent up to your room. This is the model of efficiency (since India has cheaper labor than here) and MUST be followed. Don't believe it? I write software to do this kind of thing called "work-flow automation" software and it will put the lowest paid labor in a different country at the rate it's being used by big business.

What is needed right now is the next challenge to the American people to get a man on the moon and what we are getting is the outing of CIA agents, which even according to George Bush Sr. is treason - because their ambassador husband proved that Iraq had no yellow-cake uranium and this risked spoiling the party to invade a sovereign nation that has lots of oil. This is asinine and immature.

We have a real crisis on our hands and the media is actually NOT TELLING US THIS. most importantly, they are not giving us a framework to understand these events within - no context - just a lot of pundits spewing information. The truth is you are on your own - and you better be prepared - you NEED an Advocacy Corporation on your side.

We have the head of New Line Cinema spending 15 years to produce a movie that is 10 times better than ET called "The Last Mimsy" and it is only in theaters for less than 2 weeks.

We have a music producer called Timbaland who is a genius who will probably mainly end up producing songs that advocate sex, violence and drug use (but his skills can EASILY cross genres - his new album "Shock Value" - PROVES IT - as songs range from everything from collaborations with 50 Cent to collaborations with Fall Out Boy to collaborations with Elton John to collaborations with artists in India.


There is actually now a major financial incentive to keep people dumb and stupid and just "entertain" them:

Dumb and stupid people cannot compete with China or India in a FLAT world

Dumb and stupid people cannot complain when the Budget of The National Science Foundation is cut

Dumb and stupid people cannot understand how to act in their own best interests

Dumb and stupid people cannot vote effectively (they vote with their emotions and not fact)

Dumb and stupid people cannot exist in a functioning democracy or it will crumble


In these desperate times, we MUST protect the role of the advocate in society and to do that we need to institutionalize it. This will ensure that governments nor corporations can deprive people of what they need most in a functioning democracy: The Truth.


Join me in helping make creating a whole new type of corporation, the Advocacy Corporation, THE CENTRAL ISSUE DEBATED IN THE 2008 ELECTION.

I do not know how we are going to do this but if enough people believe in something ANYTHING is possible - go to YouTube and type in "Obama girl" :).

Thank You.
