Nestle being arse bandits.

is this sensationalism, or is it as malevolent as the article makes it out to be.

Yes, they really really really want to privatize water. But being as I'm a socialist I'm against it.

Access to water is not only a basic human right, it is a basic human need. Attempting to privatize water access for profit is completely reprehensible regardless of the company doing it IMO.

But yeah, that's a shite site.

when it comes to reliable news sources, my first stop is theorganicprepper.ca - followed by the new york times - followed bt al-jazeera.

In case anyone who hasn't read about water privatization is currently reading this thread (and would like to know more than just wattm's opinions of a news source),

The potential death toll would be astonishing. Is that the point? A team effort in which the elite make money hand over fist, massive depopulation, and indentured servitude in exchange for the right to eat and drink?

 

no one is trying to depopulate the planet and enslave the rest. go back to sleep.

I understand the site is pish, which is why i came here to actually find out.

H2O is a decent documentary about all this shit. Crazy elite fucks have already been buying the water in third world countries and then charging high prices to the poor inhabitants. Sick fucks.

hey, let's leave surreptitiously appropriating asses out of it

 

 

carry on

does this remind you guys more of Vanilla Sky or the Weyland Yutani corporation?

She's definitely Tilda Swinton. Maybe in Michael Clayton?

 

This does not surprise me at all, I knew it was only a matter of time before some corporate cunt tried to privatise drinking water.

 

They are already doing this with food across the globe. Corporations earn more money than countries and seem to operate outside the law.

 

How long before they try to privatise air?

 

PS I've been boycotting these fuckers for years, everyone else should too.

I'm thirsty.

i drink Nestle water ever day, the tapwater in Shanghai is undrinkable. They've already won.

water is a natural commodity much like oil or gas

 

I am disturbed by the incongruency between the spelling of "nestle" with the intended pronounciation of their brand (nes-lee according to every advert of theirs I've seen). That's all the proof I need to know they are guilty as charged.

It's not Nestle, it's Nestlé. It's Swiss innit. 'Mercans...

I'm going to pronounce it as "nes-til" just to confuse/annoy people

It's Nest-le-chre

Cohagen, give dees people water!

My sense of judgement is clouded by the insane amounts of rage and disbelief I am experiencing. It just strikes me that people in power lack basic human qualities. I am going for a ride on my bike in the desolate hub of the now.

 

Welcome to the future.

You never see Abby Martin's ears. Why? Because lizards don't have external ears. It's not a coincidence that Russian and reptilian are almost exactly the same word. Reptile Today.
