    Some in clandestine companies combine,
    Erect new stocks to trade beyond the line;

    With air and empty names beguile the town,
    And raise new credits first, then cry 'em down;

    Divide the empty nothing into shares,
    And set the crowd together by the ears.

      Defoe

DISTRIBUTION & ETHICS

Jesus Code





I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me
and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned
and an era of corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign
by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated
in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.

  Lincoln
