Wall of Hypocrisy

Posted by Adam Graham in : General

A small town grocery store closed its doors in Columbia Falls, Montana. The employees were laid off as the owner conceded they couldn’t handle the competition from their big new rival.

Another store crushed by Wal-Mart? Try again. While there is a Wal-Mart within ten miles of this grocery store, that Wal-Mart has only a small selection of groceries. No, the big business that killed the small town grocer was Super One Foods, a Western supermarket chain.

As is the case in much of the country, the small ‘mom and pop’ grocers that Wal-Mart is destroying don’t exist. They were driven out of business by chain grocers like Albertsons, Fred Meyers, Smiths, and others. Some grocery stores go out of business; other chains acquire some. It is the nature of business and industry.

We’re being asked to consider Albertsons and K-Mart as more moral corporate citizens than Wal-Mart, less likely to underpay employees and sell product made by slave labor. However, the fact is that both stores sell the same type of products. You are no more likely to see a “Made in America” label in Wal-Mart than in K-Mart. You are no more likely to have a long, happy career in groceries working for Wal-Mart than Albertsons. Either way, it’s a repetitive service job that most people will not want to spend their lives in.

Big Grocers taking advantage of the anti-Walmart sentiment are the worst of hypocrites. They were innovators who devoured their less powerful competition decades ago. They followed the rules of Capitalism and won. Now, someone with a better business model has come along and is now systematically threatening their position. They are now pleading to be saved from the market forces that created them.

The opponents of Super Markets were wrong then and so are the opponents of Wal-Mart now. The truth of the matter is that the duty of business is not to protect its competitors, but to provide goods at the most reasonable price. Wal-Mart succeeds in that better than anyone else. Wal-Mart haters need not worry, someone will come along with a business plan that’s better than Wal-Mart’s. When that happens, people will rally around their local Wal-Mart’s to save them from the bad guy, never realizing the absurdity of it all.

    Program on the emergence of civilization.

    “14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
    13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
    None from the sub-Saharan African continent. ”
    Favor.
    And disfavor.

    They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.

    The roots of racism are not of this earth.

    Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.

    The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.

    AIDS in Africa.

    Organizational Heirarchy
    Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:

    1. MUCK – perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
    2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
    3. Evil/disfavored aliens – runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere

    Terrestrial management:

    4. Chinese/egyptians – this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
    5. Romans – they answer to the egyptians
    6. Mafia – the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
    7. Jews, corporation, women, politician – Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.

    Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
    1985 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Francisco Loma Prieta earthquake.

    Many Muslims are being used like the Germans and Japanese of WWII::being used to hurt others and envoke condemnation upon their people.

    They can affect the weather and Hurricane Katrina was accomplished for many reasons and involves many interests, as anything this historical is::
    1. Take heat off Sheenhan/Iraq, protecting profitable war machine/private war contracts
    2. Gentrification. New Orleans median home price of $84k is among the lowest in major American cities, certainly among desirable cities.

    Our society gives clues to the system in place. We all have heard the saying “He has more money than god.” There is also an episode of the Simpsons where god meets Homer and says “I’m too old and rich for this.”

    This is the system on earth because this is the system everywhere.
    god is evil because of money.

    I don’t want to suggest the upper eschelons are evil and good is the fringe.

    But they have made it abundantly clear that doing business with evil (disfavored) won’t help people. They say only good would have the ear, since evil is struggling for survival, and therefore only the favored could help me.

    The clues are there which companies are favored and which are disfavored, market domination being one clue, but they conceal it very hard because it is so crucial.

    I offer an example of historical proportions:::

    People point to Walmart and cry “anti-union”.

    Unions enable disfavored people to live satisfactorly without addressing their disfavor. This way their family’s problems are never resolved. Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority.

    Unions serve to empower.

    Walmart is anti-union because they are good. They try to help people address and resolve their problems.

    Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people’s belief that Walmart is evil (disfavored).

    The middle class is being deceived. They are being misled into the unfavored, and subsequently will have no hope.

    Amercia is a country of castoffs, rejects. Italy sent its criminals. Malcontents.
    Between the thrones, the klans and kindred, they “decided” who they didn’t want and acted, creating discontent and/or starvation.
    The u.s. is full of disfavored rejects. As far as the Rockafellers and other industrialists of the 19th century go, I suspect these aren’t their real names. I suspect they were chosen to go and head this new empire.

    Jesus Christ is a religious figure of evil. These seperatist churches formed so they could still capture the rest of the white people, keeping them worshipping the wrong god.
    And now they do it to people of color, Latinos and Asians, after centuries of preying upon them.

    Since Buddism doesn’t recongnize a god, the calls are never heard, and Chinese representation is instead selected by the thrones.
    It was set up this way. Perhaps dyanstic thrones had a say, but maybe not.
    Budda was the Asian’s Jesus Christ::: bad for the people. “They came up at the same time for a reason.”

    Simpson’s foreshadowing::Helloween IV special, Flanders is Satan. “Last one you ever suspect.”
    “You’ll see lots of nuns where you’re going:::hell!!!” St. Wigham, Helloween VI, missionary work, destroying cultures.
    Over and over, the Simpsons was a source of education and enlightenment, a target of ridicule by the system which wishes to conceal its secrets.

    Jews maim the body formed in the image of “god”, and inflicted circumsision upon all other white people. I believe Islam is the one true religion, and those misled christians who attack “god’s” most favored people will pay for it dearly one day.
