  • DOORS INVITE UKRAINE and RUSSIA to the PEACE TABLE
    DOORS INVITE UKRAINE and RUSSIA TO THE PEACE TABLE Dear President Volodymyr ZELENSKY As humans, our biggest mistake is not to check and look for third parties before wars. Almost every war on our planet throughout history has been scripted by an invisible enemy. Humans have been victims and losers of all their wars with each other. The war machine is a very powerful money machine for the third party. Our states, governments and peoples are ruled by beings who live in the human body but are not human. Most of our closest friends working in the government are not human beings, but biological robots that work for the Vatican in the human body. Money is a universal value. Humans are traded in the sheep and cattle class on our planet Earth. Battlefields are marketplaces where Satan can make money. This is a very brief summary of why Ukraine and Russia are on the brink of a major war in 2021. According to the New World Order, a Third World War like the First World War and the Second World War must be started and ended. Our planet is ruled by Nazis, especially controlled and directed by the black-robed Vatican Rabbis. The Vatican always has at least 200,000 Nazis available in each country. (For a population of 50 million) Adolf Hitler(s) and his mentality did not die. Like many armies in the world Ukraine Army is a Nazi controlled and owned army. People should know that war is our worst enemy. The first person to say "Yes" to a possible war between humans is the first to lose.

By and large, the public reaction to corporate personhood has ranged from confused disapproval to partially informed outrage. The general suspicion focuses on the belief that individual persons are using the corporate form to cover up their own misdeeds and to shield themselves from personal liability. My investigation into the origin and nature of corporate personhood in the United States supports these suspicions. This study reveals that the legal fiction of corporate personhood has functioned as a prosthesis for natural persons from its inception in American law and society.
