A Short History of Corporations

 By Anna Von Reitz

A corporation, being a legal fiction and a creature of the mind, may persist in the imagination of the victims of their delusion for as long as it may function as a business enterprise capable of supporting employees and avoid destruction at the hands of the outraged public.  Memes unlike genes do not depend on physical progeniture, and may be adopted as good ideas or evil ideas, by however many people of whatever race, creed, culture, or moment in time, may deem themselves benefited or at least unharmed by the existence of a corporation. 

Pepsico is a good example.  Pepsi has changed its recipe so drastically and so often over the years that the current brew has little resemblance in content or taste to the original recipe and the corporation pretty much subsists on the strength of its trademarks, marketing, and distribution.   (And a whole lot of sugar.) 

The fundamental argument used to promote the acceptance of commercial corporations was that certain necessary activities are by nature so prone to accident and endangerment, such as the production of guns, certain drugs, gun powder, nitroglycerin,  dynamite, and poisons, that investors would not invest for fear of liability --- thus certain advantages and protections, including public bankruptcy protection for shareholders of publicly owned corporations and the benefit of the corporate veil for owners and board members, were allowed.  This stimulated a craze of investment in war, death and disease related industry, which then promoted more of the same.  Soon businesses that did not involve any significant risk or liability were incorporating simply because attorneys were advising it (to benefit the British Crown) and average business owners were not privy to the whole reasoning behind the move to incorporate arms, chemical, medical, and other large industrial enterprises.  The assumption appears to have been that if it was good for the Big Boys, it was good for the little people, too. 

The problem, little noted at the time, was that incorporation requires public guarantee of the business and that guarantee manifested as underwriting grants the government the controlling interest in the business, so in effect, knowingly or unknowingly, those who incorporated their businesses gave their control and ownership interest away to the government.  This is exactly the circumstance discussed in a veiled way in Ayn Rand's saga, Atlas Shrugged.  Men who built steel mills and oil refineries and railroads and huge construction businesses and mining operations and factories of all kinds, incorporated their businesses to limit their liability, and too late found out that they had given away their ownership interest and were reduced to taking orders from faceless unelected bureaucrats.  Incorporation of business enterprises large and small promotes fascist governments in which the government obtains a controlling interest in business enterprises for the cost of insuring them, and leaves the former owners still doing all the day to day work and paying all the costs. 

This is how the USA, Inc. and UNITED STATES (INC.) came to have controlling interest in all the Fortune 500 companies, the stock and securities companies and banks, the commodities markets, pension funds, and public infrastructure and investment funds---- from people foolishly trying to avoid risk and accountability by incorporating their business to protect personal fortunes.  

The argument in favor of Municipal Corporations was less about risk and more about the Greco-Roman Renaissance that took place in the years immediately following the so-called Civil War. Admiration for the Greek city-states coupled with the growth of urban areas resulted in the development of the Municipal Corporation model and a rash of "independent international city states" that have popped up everywhere, and then, those Municipal Corporations have joined together in common cause as the "Empire of the Cities".  This is where we get "globalism" and "transnationalism" and "global resets" and false claims of custodial roles and powers.  Unlike the commercial British Crown Corporations, Municipal Corporations deal in intellectual property assets and performances --- they copyright our names, enter us into unconscionable obligatory performance contracts, securitize our intellectual property assets, steal our credit, tax our labor, etc. 

One easy way to see it, is that the British Crown Commercial Corporations are all about "gaining something for nothing" and specialize in targeting industrial enterprises and public infrastructure, while municipal corporations deal in blood money, securitization swindles, impersonation schemes, labor contracts, and intellectual assets theft. 

The existence of all these corporations is tied to self-seeking avoidance of liability and accountability, all are supposed to be limited to "any lawful purpose"--- no merely legal purposes--- and no, we don't need them.  They have proven to be corrupt contrivances that have caused great harm thanks to their endless and irresponsible and unaccountable search for profit-at-any-cost, including cost to the public that endures their existence and pays for their failures. 

The recent so-called pandemic is a good example of what happens when rogue corporations are allowed to run wild.  

Unfortunately for us, the most effective and traditional means of dealing with out-of-control corporations and even cartels of corporations like the WEF is a function of Ecclesiastical Law and the responsibility of the Roman Pontiff --- an office which the Roman Catholic Church dissolved in 2011.  We have inherited a runaway train brought to us by the Roman Curia, which is more intent on circling the wagons and ginning up wars of conquest in the Middle East than it is in doing its duty or solving the very real problems that it has caused iva the proliferation of corporations of all kinds.  

Legal fiction is still fiction --- still a big fat lie.  We are left dealing with these obnoxious fabrications using such dinosaurs as the Sherman Antitrust Act and Logan Act against them. They are well-funded, know how to spread bribes, and are loathe to give up a scheme that has us paying all their insurance, taxes, mortgages, and operating expenses free gratis.  

The fundamental fight is between corporations that don't really exist, and living people.  It's a fight that none of us can afford to lose.
