Corporations on the Verge of Becoming Omnipotent

Yet still more proof than ever before that the most oppressive tyrant is a helpless infant compared to the power corporations wield.

Nicole Flatow at Think Progress:

It’s not just the NSA that’s collecting massive amounts of personal data with judicial approval. In a ruling publicized by EarthRights International, a federal judge in New York approved a subpoena by Chevron to obtain any documents Microsoft has related to the identity of 30 anonymous individuals allegedly of interest in the litigation, including every IP address over a period of nine years.

But that's not enough. They won't stop until they have all the power of everything.

From Firedoglake:

“Secret TPP Deal Would Void Democracy” because of all the power given by the treaty to corporations.
