Thank you, Cosmic Kitten, for encapsulating the reality behind all the mealy mouthed platitudes and demeaning insults. It is about exactly that ... the repeal of the sovereignty of the signatory nations in favor of global corporate sovereignty, starting with the good old USA. We have consumed enough, apparently, and are no longer sufficiently profitable.

Corporations Uber Alles. It even scans properly to appropriate Hitler's anthem for their purposes.
