Transnational corporation blood-suckers have been robbing countries blind!

VHeadline.com guest commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: Whether it be Venezuela, Brazil, or for that matter any country that transnational corporations have business in, these blood-suckers have been robbing countries blind.

Just how is this done?

When transnational corporations open a manufacturing plant or factory in a third world country, they ask those who seek employment, so sign a document, which seems innocent enough, but the conditions in it are tantamount to highway robbery.

The clause in the agreement being signed cover every aspect of your life, not just in the place that you are employed in, but also what you come up with in your life outside of your place of work. By signing the document, you give up all rights to anything that you invent or discover to your employer. Now one can well understand if what you invent is related to your place of work, it would be considered a reasonable request, but that is not the case at all.

You might be working in a factory, which manufacturers items like car parts, or machine parts, and you invent something that can make them work more efficiently, that would be reasonable. Because, that is something which is linked to your trade or occupation.

But here comes the crunch!

A clause in your employment contract agreement clearly outlines one fact, that the firm automatically has rights over anything you invent or make. That actually means, if you come up with a recipe for something in the area of food that too is owned by the firm that you work for. By the terms of the contract, you spare time does not belong to you. Because, while the firm is only paying you for hours of employment, they are also laying claim to your life, 24 hours a day, without paying one cent in remuneration. That is how; anyone employed by a corporation becomes a slave without ever knowing it.

Can one imagine how many ordinary people in a trade are gypped by transnational corporations when these clauses are invoked? There must be a very big pay-off at times for these transnationals. Thus, the exploitation of workers goes on, and on, without any let-up.

But, there is another side to this corporate thievery as well.

When someone invents something and goes to the patent office to have it registered, they are told that you have to wait a certain amount of time to have it cleared. But that is really a ploy. Because that is the excuse used by hirelings of corporations, to put you on hold, while they are getting ready to lay claim to it, and then tell you that the patent was already registered by someone else.

In effect it may be that the person in the Patent Office is on the payroll of some corporation, and is making sure that you will never be allowed to patent the item you invented, because he has the corporations interest in mind. Thus, while putting you on hold, your invention is already being patented by a corporation.

• More than half of all patents are purloined by corporations, and there is no way that they can be investigated. So there you have it.

Thievery is the name of the game, when it comes to transnational corporations. They will not even bother to hide it, because they employ a battery of lawyers, that could keep you in the courts for years to come, and when you die your case will still be in the courts.

Besides that, ordinary people do not have the money or the time to take corporations to court.

So, corporations win anyway, by default, and that is the whole story in a nutshell...
