Dear Editor,

A few weeks ago, more than 100 leaders from international corporate interests gathered on a Zoom call to do one specific thing: Coordinate their political activities in a manner that will prevent GOP-dominated legislatures in states like Georgia from passing laws designed to head off massive voter fraud. Simply put, this is about the desires of global business stopping conservatives and populists from being elected. The fact that they are headquartered in this country is not a sign of any loyalty to this country or its form of government.

If anything, many of these companies are far more loyal to the Chinese communist government because that represents a massively larger potential market than America represents today. These corporate socialist business leaders hold no loyalty to America or to its fading capitalist economic system. They are all about control — they want to be able to control their tax environment, control their regulatory environment and control their markets.

This is corporate totalitarianism. Many people will wonder why these globalist corporations hated Trump’s tax reforms, with its cut in the corporate tax rate. The answer is simple: While those cuts did benefit their bottom lines in this country, they were far more targeted on helping small businesses, which these globalists hate since they tend to impede on their market shares. The same is true of Trump’s cancellations of heavy regulations:

Those mainly benefited small companies who do not have the resources to comply with and mitigate the costs of such regulations, something these enormous corporate interests have in droves. We saw the very same principle of self-interest at work with the heavy COVID restrictions. Wal-Mart, Target, Starbucks, Apple and AT&T and all these other giant corporations were all for restrictions because they knew the main effect of it would be to put the small competitors out of business, which is exactly what happened. Now, with Biden installed these globalist corporate honchos don’t even feel the need to disguise their efforts. “Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plan evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is their power to do it.” Micah 2:1
