The coordinated attack on widely watched Info Wars host Alex Jones by Apple, Facebook, Google\/Youtube, and Spotify is all the proof that we need that the total failure to enforce America\u2019s anti-trust laws has produced unaccountably powerful firms that are able to exercise far more censorship, not only in America but also abroad among Washington\u2019s vassal states, than the Nazi Gestapo or Stalin\u2019s NKVD were ever able to achieve.<\/p>\n

Recently the progressive Rob Kall and I discussed on his show the implications of a trillion dollar company, which Apple now is. A day or two afterward, Rob Kall wrote an article on his website OpEdNews in which he made a case that a trillion dollar company had too much power for our continuation as a free people. I agree with him. Only 16 countries out of 195 countries in the world, a mere 0.08 percent, have a GDP equal to or larger than one trillion dollars.<\/p>\n

Think about that. Apple is larger than the GNP of almost every country in the world. In other words, Apple has the power of a major government. Apple could be a member of the G-20. Apple could institute its own currency and be part of SDR drawing rights. Apple could participate as a backer of IMF and World Bank loans. Apple could have its own military and secret service.<\/p>\n

No sooner than Rob Kall made his case than Apple proved it, along with the other tech monopolies<\/a>: Google\/Youtube, Spotify, and Facebook.
