A technology like 3D printing that essentially puts cheap labor, manufacturing, and retail all in the same place – upon one’s desktop – spells the absolute, utter and permanent end to the monopolies and unwarranted power and influence of the corporate-financier elite who have lorded over humanity since human civilization began – a permanent end the elite will fight against with the total summation of their ill-gotten power and influence. The pretext being used to begin this war is a 3D printed gun built and demonstrated by Defense Distributed in Austin, Texas. After designing, printing out, and firing the 3D printed gun, the US State Department demanded that the designs, distributed for free on the Internet, be taken down – claiming tenuously that by posting the designs on the Internet, arms export bans may have been violated – this the same government that is on record, openly shipping arms, cash, and military equipment to its own listed terrorist organizations from the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK or MKO) in Iraq and Iran, to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in Libya, to Al Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, Jabhat al-Nusra. In the Independent’s article, “US government orders Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed to remove blueprint for 3D-printed handgun from the web,” it’s reported that: The US government has demanded the removal of online files which allow users to 3D-print their own unregistered gun at home. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/business/corporate_fraud/news.php?q=1368807459 May 17, 2013 INTRODUCTION This is what conspiracy looks like.

The hole was also over 22 feet long and made the pipe look like a split sausage. The first pictures of the pipeline gash came from the law firm suing ExxonMobil on behalf of those hurt by the spill.

The changes also make the refinery capable of handling lower-quality heavy crude oil that Saudi Arabia has been producing recently—oil that most refineries can’t process.   “The Saudis are securing a home for their heavy crude,” Fadel Gheit, a senior oil analyst at Oppenheimer & Company, told The New York Times. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/business/corporate_fraud/news.php?q=1365613256 April 4, 2013 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has had a "no fly zone" in place in Mayflower, Ark., since April 1 at 2:12 p.m. and will be in place "until further notice," according to the FAA website and it's being overseen by ExxonMobil itself.

A revolving door allows corporate chiefs to switch to top posts in the Food and Drug Administration and other agencies; US embassies around the world push GM technology onto dissenting countries; government subsidies back corporate research; federal regulators do largely as the industry wants; the companies pay millions of dollars a year to lobby politicians; conservative thinktanks combat any political opposition; the courts enforce corporate patents on seeds; and the consumer is denied labels or information.
