He is simply right.<p>The global trend is, that governments in all nations loose more and more of their former power and (partially) dump it to international corporations which hold the real power in their hands.<p>There is an older documentary, that is still valid with the name &quot;The Corporation&quot; which shows, how corporations have used the US constitution and decades of lobbying and court cases to gain more and more power. So today, the corporations are difficult to held liable for things they do (in many cases they come away with small fees that don&#x27;t even cover the harm they caused), but enjoy many of the rights which where meant for real citizen.<p>This documentary comes to the conclusion, that many corporations behave like psychopaths, because when a corporation has to decide, (for example) to keep the environment clean or make more profits, the corporation rule is, to go for the money and forget about the rest.<p>Anybody should watch this. Either on DVD, or I also spotted it on worlds favorite video site.<p>With international treaties like TTP and others, the power of international corporations is hardened and it gets more and more difficult to reverse this global trend. With all their lawyers and lobbyists, the corporations are bound to win over the democracies -- what dictators did not manage to.<p>This trend is undermining democracies and human rights, because corporations are not democratic and have only one rule to obey: The profit rule.<p><i>So finally, we are all governed by money and nothing else.</i>
