[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] The republic of Venice is the precursor to all of the corporate colonial entities created by the Europeans since the 16th century. All of them were based around the idea of conquest for profits and return on investments in the cost of voyages and salaries for sailors. The Republic of Venice was the origin of this because it was the force behind the crusades, not as a religious war, but as a trade war to take over the spice and textile trades from the east. It is not a coincidence that Venice and Italy became famous for textiles after this time, having taken many of the textiles, ideas and techniques from the Levant and Armenia. The whole point of the crusades was to take over the Islamic trade in the Mediterranean not to promote Christianity. And every since then, they have been using the same tactic to promote corporate banking profits in the name of religion. America is just the greatest example of this, but it is not really a democracy but a corporatocracy or corporate republic more than anything else. The United States was settled as a series of royal crown COMPANIES and all the original "settlers" were actually employees of the COMPANY. NOBODY that came here as a settler actually came as a "FREE" man of his own accord with their own boats and wealth, as boats were only owned by the extremely rich who were part of the British trading, banking and maritime empire. Therefore to get a ride to the Americas you had to become an indentured servant to pay back the price of the boat trip to the company. All the lands in the Americas were the personal property of the King and he gave charters to the companies to use parts of these lands for generating profit as 'independent' companies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_companies [QUOTE] The British Empire used three main types of colonies as it sought to expand its territory to distant parts of the earth. These three types were royal colonies, proprietary colonies, and corporate colonies. A charter colony by definition is a "colony…chartered to an individual, trading company, etc., by the British crown." Although charter colonies were not the most prevalent of the three types of colonies in the British Empire, they were by no means insignificant.[/QUOTE] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter http://books.google.com/books?id=QmQUAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false So we should not pretend that western European colonial entities like America or New Zealand represent democracies in its truest sense. They represent global banking and trade guilds and monopolies that are built on the promise of prosperity and wealth that motivates people over and above everything else. And that promise of wealth and prosperity comes at a cost: it requires the exploitation and subjugation of large parts of the planet in order for it to work: ie. Africa. Look at what happened in Bangladesh for example: http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/13/world/asia/bangladesh-building-collapse/index.html?hpt=hp_bn2 But do you see any Bangladeshi's rioting at the U.S. or Western Embassies? Why not? Because everyone loves America and the West for all the glory and wonders of "democracy" and "freedom" even as those are built on exploitation in the countries that love them. Such is the power of the ideal and the "promise" of opportunity and wealth that most people will never achieve. But that "belief" in the power of an idea has won the hearts and minds of most of the planet. And that is the most important point. (In my best ole time preacher man voice....) "If you just BELIEVE my chile...." And this isn't lost on anybody, especially those in the West, as movies like The Great Gatsby and games like Bioshock Infinite contain these themes writ large onscreen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
