The fact that G-Tac believes so strongly these threatening paramilitary soldiers are part of their 21st century business climate is just amazing. This
will be copied and will become the norm, unless voters crack down
on their politicians now. But I believe those same politicians, Walker and legislative Republicans, gave these guys a
false sense of power and influence that turned mighty ugly.
Hopefully this story will go national, and shock voters enough to
see where we’re headed.
We’re now in a country where business has taken up arms
against citizens.
A company spokesperson says they're simply trying to protect themselves from the types of protesters that vandalized the mine site on June 11th. Gogebic Taconite Spokesperson Bob Seitz: "They destroyed our equipment, attacked our people personally and threatened them with further attacks." But Gogebic Taconite has no intention of removing the guards. "We have a responsibility to our employees to keep a safe work site and you know, I'd be more worried about the fact that a Wisconsin workplace could be attacked by masked people destroying their equipment and attacking their people," said Seitz.
Here’s WKOW’s Greg Neumann’s coverage:
You are correct about the national importance with this story. Unfortunately none of the neo-liberal, supposedly more progressive bloggers in WI have been pushing the story about our POTUS and his pet project the Trans Pacific Partnership trade pact that has been in secret negotiations for almost four years.
ReplyDeleteAs to what is understood already, Obomba is happy to be giving up national sovereignty to multinational corporations whose lobbyists are writing the TPP, where these entities, when doing business in the US, will not be subject to US labor or environmental laws.
Want to discover the problem in WI, start with corpo-fascist enabler sorryO. Everything easily makes sense then and who could not have expected or anticipated the current WI north woods situation. Only the fools who voted for and have refused to openly be criticizing every move of mr hopeless the changling.
Military coup in Egypt? How about the fascist corporate coup in the US. Wake up people. Snowden is a distraction to the real moves already happening, witness GTAC and witness Walker and the state Republicans doing everything we are allowing our national war criminal-in-chief to be doing world-wide. US Imperialism comes home to roost.
Welcome to the 19th century, when corporations employed death squads and gun-fights between their mercenaries and local citizens were far too common. Is corporate terrorism going to become the new normal?
ReplyDeleteSo this is what conceal and carry and stand-your-ground were all about.
ReplyDeleteThe economic terrorists whom scott walker and GOP work for knew that they they could only implement their ayn rand/paulie ryan wet dreams over our dead bodies.
Now we are being told that businesses have a right to terrorize citizens , tourists, and workers with assault weapons and private militias.
This is gonna get ugly before it gets better.
