No Logo

In the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. But why do some of the world's best-known brands find themselves on the wrong end of the spray paint can -- the targets of anti-corporate campaigns by activists and protesters?

No Logo, based on the best-selling book by Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic and cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike, The Gap, and Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles.

It's the US citizens turn to get economically raped at home, just like the rest of the world's citizens have been in the past.

From http://zeitgeistmovie.com/

I can see this happening inside the USA, as they keep printing bailout money, economic stimulus, buying up OUR OWN mortgage backed securitized debts ($20B per week in 2008!), with the slow shift to a global currency, globalization of the workforce, centralized international laws shaped by industries, the US citizen will no longer matter to the corporations as oligopolies turn into oligarch global governing forces.

"Walmart, General Motors and Exxon are more economically powerful than Saudi Arabia, Poland, Norway, South Africa and many others."

This is not a conspiracy theory type of thing. These people do not have to get together and plot to do things. They all basically work on one primary assumption. To maximize profits, regardless of social and environmental costs.

The American way of life, as we know it, is on its way out.
