Corporations since the mid-1800's had gained power through the courts, as Thom Hartmann traces in his book, Unequal Protection, in which he proves that no SCOTUS has ever explicitly put in writing that corporations are persons. Yes, they treat them as persons and talk about them that way, but they never write down corporate personhood as law.

More important, though, is that this Corporation sequel documents how corps have bypassed courts and government.

There will be no recourse for controlling corporations if they've stolen nations' wealth, stashed them in freeports and tax havens and then come swooping into climate disaster ravaged countries and say "our way or die."

We are in for it -- not just a war against a Fifth Column of traitors as humans, but a war where corporations are paying for them to bring down this majority run government from the inside, while from the outside, corporations media-propagandize their Big Lie "humanity" and Big Drama Lies about our "inflation," "pernicious government," and "replacement of races" crap... I'm sure there's more that needs listing.
