From the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, and Bildeberg Group to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, corporatism marches on; Mussolini would be proud. Fascism lives!

Personal, local, state, and national rights sublimated without vote, to transnational corporations. Environment, commons, business, all, control will be ceded to corporate board rooms. Your comments will be received, by invitation only, your rights to due process have been reduced to the dust of historical memory.

It is why many feel little confidence in government action, whether national or global, will ever intrude upon the corporation. Climate and environmental policies will be dictated, not negotiated. The sham of regional and national politics will continue to present a duplicitous veil of democratic legitimacy, as the decisions of our environment and future climate, will be balanced with profit, in corporate board rooms.

It has been that way for decades, and never more intrusive than today. Progress? Not from my perspective.
