Speculation: Corporate Secrets

[Jimmie Higgins]

Ok, imagine that there's a revolution over the next few years. When workers take over and people begin to raid corporate offices and such, what secrets do you reasonably but speculatively think people will discover? State agencies as well.

Assuming the capitalists and bureaucrats don't erase and shred all their internal info.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

massive intelligence gathering, wiretapping, surveillance of ordinary folk. Corruption and collusion at the highest levels of the state and private industry.

Similar to what was found when the USSR and its satellite states broke up, and when the GDR broke.

I think it would be found that the vast majority of medical research (post 1980) has been heavily edited and adverse events have been hidden on a global scale. I would imagine that entire fields of medicine would collapse under the sheer weight of quackery. So many people would have been victims and killed because of bad research that CEO's and that ilk would be hauled in to face charges of genocide.

I imagine we'll find out that one of those conspiracies that are too absurd to be true are actually real. Maybe 9/11 was actually faked and maybe all you dirty revisionists liars are truly scoundrels for besmirching the name of the dear and bemourned comrade stalin

[La Guaneña]

-Loads of anti-cuban propaganda distributed to press sources;
-Famous "socialists" and labour leaders on the corporate payroll;
-What kind of disgusting stuff is in our food;

[Brandon's Impotent Rage]

The amount of private militia and state military that are on the payroll of various corporations, directly or indirectly.

We'll also probably discover that the number of democratically-elected officials and governments of various countries deposed by capitalist interests is far higher than we previously imagined

What adipocere said. Maybe some cures for cancer suppressed because they're just based on cannabis extracts (http://www.hightimes.com/read/rick-simpsons-hemp-oil-medicine) or something else (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/black-raspberries-versus-oral-cancer/) that's too simple to be patented.

(This is probably a very common conspiracy theme though, it was even in a Family Guy episode.)

[motion denied]

-Famous "socialists" and labour leaders on the corporate payroll;

PSTU immediately came to mind.

[Jimmie Higgins]

Man, folks are giving realistic answers to this.

I was thinking more along the lines of: "McNuggets are actually made from snake eyeballs" or something.:lol:

But good (realistic) speculation so far. I think we'd definitely find out about all the local and federal police that actively infiltrate all sorts of political activities (and how they coordinate together).

[Criminalize Heterosexuality]

As a Nutella fanatic, I'm pretty sure the Polish version (which is what we get here) is made out of recycled boot soles.

[BIXX]

The world leaders are all human-eating lizards from another dimension :lol:

Seriously, I suspect that we will discover that a lot more people than we know of have been "disappeared" by our governments.

Also, I think we will find a lot of collaboration between parties during elections who claim to oppose one another, so they can maintain hegemony with the bourgeoisie over all the oppressed groups.

So I was reading about the Jimmy Savile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile) thing that BBC covered up....Jesus :ohmy: Christ. That....I suspect a lot of that kind of shit could come to light - possibly worse. I mean Savile could not have operated like that for so long without help from a lot of people, really high up and for a very long time. They are still running damage control and protecting people...

[L.A.P.]

that most of the US Presidents were serious coke-heads

[Os Cangaceiros]

The paper shredders/furnaces would be going at full-tilt, are you kidding me. It would be like what the Gestapo did at the tail end of WW2 when the Nazis realized they were screwed, or what went down at the American embassy when the NVA were closing in on Saigon, only on a much larger scale and at a much more desperate pace.
