So, AAA is opposing to the militarization, yet they welcomed the colonization of American company.


These days, I am making a plan for the protesting of exploitation of the study field by the “Big Brothers.” It was funny that the professors seem to protect the moral and philosophy of anthropology are actually working for the exploitation. They are the vehicle to decide which way the study would be exploited by the government and the big companies.


Is Coca-cola working with anthropologists? I have seen many Coke ads around where I live. I have seen the logo is used for the cooler box and billboard. Well, if I count how many American logos around in the city, it would be a good statistics to show how much American company making influence in changing the local culture. By the way, McDonald's made original “coke glasses” (made in France, by the way) for a free gift for the customer who ordered Medium size meals. I have five of those when I was using Internet at McDonald's.

Well, I do not know if anthropologists knew the meaning of “coke bottles” for the victims of American solders' in the past. According to Marshall Thomas' “Monarch: The New Phoenix Program,” he explains that a coke bottle means to particular people to remind the sodomized experience done by the Americans.


When South American dissidents were taken into custody and tortured it was
common practice to use a coke bottle to sodomize the victim with. This initial
act was designed to produce pain and suffering, as well as humiliation. Once the
person was released back into the community, every time they came into contact
with a coke bottle or even a coke commercial the stimulus of seeing the product
or hearing the advertising jingle would ‘trigger” them…in other words they would
immediately relive the pain, suffering, and humiliation of the initial torture.
Since coke is the worlds most widely advertized and recognized symbol the
victims of torture might be forced to relive their suffering every time they
turned on the TV, radio, went into a store, or simply walked down the street.


We have been hearing the tortures going on in Iraq and other places. In Italy, Americans had a secret detention camp. And the notorious Guantanamo Bay. By seeing who is working for which company, we can see how the study field has been exploited. Not only the military and CIA are the choices of “intelligence domination of anthropology.”
As an Outsider and and outcast of anthropology, I am proud to represent these information. What I do not understand is that when the guy studying in American University was hired by the CIA.


Americans worrying about the corruption of American Empire made another senario to hold the American power. Domination of the world by the multinational companies. They become the authority and hold the wealth in the local. Thus, in the whole view, the world is kept under the hand of Americans for their benefits. Next step would be ugly insider conflicts, right? However, everything is owned by their branches, no conflict is necessary. Microsoft can keep Mac for the alternative choice of the customers, for example. What this means is the customers become the slaves of merchants. Those who do not have the sign cannot purchase – this is happening to the Targeted Individuals of the world as the bible says.
