Defend the Tree

A new TV series, Taboo is set in early 19th century England. It highlights the grip that the massive tentacles of the nefarious East India Company had on the world. It was the first multi-national corporation. Its power rivaled that of the English king, it fielded its own army, and its leaders were totally ruthless in their fierce pursuit of more power.

It seems that no matter how much time passes, in every generation men arise with the same greed and ruthless will to power. We dumped the tea of the East India Company into the harbor two hundred years ago. Now it looks like we must resist again and repel the takeover of power by these corporate tyrants once more. The tree of liberty is currently being attacked at its roots. Patriots must rise up everywhere to protect her or lose the freedoms we have enjoyed since the first American Revolution.
