Most people don't know this, but corporations profit by sickening and killing consumers. Bush and Cheney have set up a secret "trust fund" for corporations; it pays $72,000 for every sick consumer, and $14,000 for every dead consumer, to the corporation that causes each illness or death. The first is a kickback from hospitals and health insurers, and it pays the most, because sick consumers draw in a lot of cash flow for health care. Dead consumers get less of a kick-back, because mortuaries don't generate as much money as health care, but the money comes in anyhow because of a diversion of income tax to a population-reduction program.
Many watchdog groups warn about "corporate profiteering" from dangerous products, but they can't tell you about this because the Internal Revenue Service will revoke their tax-exempt status if they tell you the whole truth.
A lot of the corporate products on the market help people achieve old age. The life expectancy in corporation-dominated economies has increased rapidly since World War Two, but this is not an accident. Older people get sick more often than younger people, which makes longevity a windfall profit for the health industry. Before the corporations dominated, people would just tip over and die, with hardly any profit at all.
The secret campaign for longevity through cheap, easily-available nutrition -- also provided by corporations -- had another side-effect: the obesity epidemic. This also was not unplanned. Obesity drives health care profits, and also the profits of spin-off industries offering to make fat people thin. The Bush-Cheney "trust fund" is looking at requiring Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. to put money into the fund.
There's also money to be made from environmental destruction. The "trust fund" pays $12 million for every species extinction, and $500 for every acre of crop land that is destroyed. The payment for species extinction is an "advance payment" to ensure that humans are the only species left on the planet. The payment for destroying acres is also an "advance payment," to help ensure that corporate farmers are left with the only non-poisoned soil.
The rice-engineering project is only an experiment in the modification of genes. When humans take over the earth, they will need to be genetically modified well enough to encompass the entire biosphere. The "rice escape" is just a small blip in the big project.
