Merriam Webster dictionary defines capitalism as
“a man economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market”
I had a friend tell me years ago “He who makes the gold, makes the golden rules” Ive heard all the shit about the NOW, Illuminati, Free Masons but they are not running the world. Now, can these organizations exist in reality or in loosely tied relationships? Absolutely! The framing every world problem in the context of the Illuminati or shaping the situation that the only way a visible minority can be successful is by joining one of these organizations (Kanye West, Jay-Z (Shawn Carter)). I think that is a little racist or loaded with racist thoughts. Powerful people (The Wealthy, not rich), rich you can run out of money the wealthy cant. I wont put anti society notions past the wealthy decision makers in this world but there not part of any society that sets the world rules. I do imagine that they communicate their desires and decisions to each other in attempt to set up the most profitable situation for them, but that is capitalism right?
I am no economic theorist but what I get out of capitalism from a entrepreneur or business standpoint is, “If you can make money off of something find out how to control it own it, privatize it and sell your product or service for the most money possible.” Coca-Cola owner of Dasani water figured this out years ago to increase their portfolio, and are very successful due to branding marketing and the cultural idiots who pay for it. All bottled water sold is required to indicate their water source for their bottled water. Fiji water is from the artesin springs of FIJI, Evian is from some spring overseas, Nestle water is from the Dallas Municipal water source, Ozarka is from some place in Arkansas, and for Dasani water Coca-Cola uses tap water from local municipal water supplies, streams, and meadows from the natural piped in for the longest capitalist . In my case Dallas, TX who is known for their pristine water supply.
"The drinking water in Dallas has been tested, but officials are awaiting results. Arlington, Texas, acknowledged that traces of a pharmaceutical were detected in its drinking water but cited post-9/11 security concerns in refusing to identify the drug." AP
Bottled water isn't the only the commidization of the public resource water. Take a moment and consider the ways that water has been privatized. Water parks, Swimming Pools, Surf Parks, Artificial beaches, which are all well and good. The owners of the preceding properties are well in then right to own all of this and I fault them not. My problem begins when I observe the manipulation of natural resources to increase or manipulate the supply to increase your demand. the possibility exist that it can be just plain ignorance on the consumers part on their indirect effect on the world.
With the over fishing of the oceans the last 30 years, which has led to great prices on seafood and and canned tuna, it has lead to a decrease in fish density. Which in turn has lead to an explosion in the jellyfish population, who and lead to an explosion of jellyfish who breed in barren waters which attack the shore line leaving the ocean un-enjoyable. It is not only that they breed, but jellyfish produce based on the amount of space available in the ecological chain and in warm water temperatures. They are also one of the few species that are as close to immortal as possible.
"They [Jellyfish] can reproduce to an almost infinite degree, even from relatively small populations, let alone huge swarms. These guys revert to a juvenile form after reproduction, so it means the survey stats on populations could have been quite misleading, for decades, if “juveniles” were post reproductive forms. The ocean ecology could hit a tipping point very rapidly." Chris V. Thangham Digital Journal
This isnt so big of a problem if you do not have an affinity for seafood, but with the increase and Jellyfish ashore of the united states and is devastating economies completely. Below are stories about jellyfish attacks published in the last 24 hrs.

As the human population grows one of the top topics when it comes to international affairs and human rights is the lack food or water in certain regions. Everyone has seen the commercial, for some international organization which shows snap shots of children with rags for clothes, emaciated and dirty as hell with soft music and a number. "for 20 dollars a month you can help (kid name here) eat for a year and go to school for the next year." I'm not criticizing the organization for doing what they can I am criticizing world policy that allows this to happen. We wast tons of food every year in this country alone, enough to feed to the whole world. Why would it be in grain suppliers benefit to give free food and feed the world when they can make little change.
Its not only the food supply that greed is destroying but also Fresh drinking water supply. From supporting farmers who grow ridiculous shit and use tons of fresh water to do it (American Cotton), or the destruction of fresh water lakes when corporations go in looking for minerals and leave it polluted as hell, or even the change in weather patterns that have been attributed for H.A.R.P.. Why are there still thirsty people or areas with droughts, its not like we don't have technology to support this.

Even for US regions that have droughts purifiers and desalination plants could solve that problem. Dust Belt, GA, Steepe climate, we can pipe oil why not water. Its ridiculous for a state that borders the ocean to have a drought. GE in 2007 installed a Desalination plant in Algeria (that's is the north coast of Africa) which makes their company $30 million dollars a year. to turn salt water to fresh water through reverse osmosis. Why inst there one of these in the Continental US where GE is located? MONEY the recent oil spill just complicates matters and sets these companies up to make a lot of money the next 20 years including new or emerging industries that has had their historical imprint and impact discounted for so long
The Epic British Petroleum halliburtion subsidiary horizon platform oil spill of 2010 in the gulf of Mexico will destroy the gulf coast and cause irreparable harm for at the very least 20 year. Increase in Jellyfish, decrease in actual edible fish, Increase in water temperatures, decrease in gulf coast economies. With that shortage fish, suppliers (fisheries on the other coast, or farm raised fish source) will now go to fish farms and fresh water sources to get overpriced fish to the population (you, me & Papadeux). FISH! which should be an abundant source of free food. It swims in an expansive body of water, it has no owners and no human encroachment for the most part. People should be able to survive of of fishing, maybe not eat as much as they want until they get iodine or mercury poisoning yet enough to survive. Now as humans go out of our way to fuck up the world food supply to a point where it can be privatized then the world population will either die from malnutrition or starvation. Or have to depend on the power that be the .01% of the world population who on 99% of the wealth. Keep your eyes opening its happening, use your senses and the tool between your two shoulders. Destroy the environment = Lands unfarm-able, Harp=Change weather patterns to countries who dont really need the extra weather help. destroy the oceans=cultures that traditionally eat fish have to change their whole diet to American grain and farmed animals which are genetically altered to kill us. This BP is some devious shit, or maybe im over analyzing this? tell me what yall think....
