Criminal conduct, plain and simple

by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News      February 18, 2008

People who make money by causing suffering of others are criminals, regardless of whatever laws do or do not exist. People are no less criminals when they cause subsequent generations to suffer by their current profit-making, than if the damage is current. People who act in concert to commit crimes are organized criminals, and individual criminal behavior is miniscule in its effect, compared to organized criminal behavior.

If criminals are not restrained it is well understood that
increasing numbers of people will undertake crime. If criminal organizations are not restrained this contagion effect is vastly more powerful.

Therefore, every executive, director and shareholder of any corporation, anywhere in the world that is harming people and/or destroying the environment therefore needs to be arrested and their criminal activities stopped. All black markets, including but not limited to those providing drugs, prostitution and banned substances need to be disrupted by the least harmful method, which would normally mean legalization and/or controlled access.

If we can not stop the current criminal feeding frenzy, everyone, criminals as well as the innocent, will be destroyed. Therefore this is the only priority that makes sense. No progress will be made in averting climate catastrophe, no progress will be made in conserving diminishing resources of fresh water and air, no progress will be made in extending human and civil rights, as long as basic criminality is not confronted and the most important source of criminality is from international corporations.
