"So let me see if I have this right" asked Steve "according to these papers, the four corporations conspired to bring this country down then take over the planet? It seems a little far fetched don't you think?  I mean don't you think other people would notice what they were doing and then stop them?"  "That's the whole point Steve, by the time the collapse came they were already in such a strong position no one was able to help except them.  Here look at this paper here" Devon picked up the papers and read out loud. : BluePath Refineries Saves US From Economic Crash. 

In reality they purchased our country along with all of us.  You can see by this through this research that they were getting themselves into position twenty years before the crash.  They bought out all of the smaller refineries and if they couldn't get them then something bad happened to the ones that wouldn't go along.  Look at the family owned Goodwin Sugars.  They held out till the end and refused to sell out or give in to BluePath.  Their whole family was wiped out and the refineries all blown up.  There is a paper clipping about the murders and sabotage where they claimed it was terrorists from some obscure country.  There was never any explanation as to why anyone except BluePath would do such a terrible thing.  Once they were gone then BluePath had free range to start buying up sections of the food industry untill they had full control of all our food's production.  Here, here," Devon pushed several papers out of the way until she came across the one she needed and waived it around.  This shows the companies wealth at the time of the crash and it also shows how they were systematically bringing about that very crash.  I would say this one piece of paper has the one piece of information that could actually bring down the corporation.  I am absolutely sure they would be willing to kill for this."  Everyone went completely silent, you could see the looks on their faces as they digested this information.  It turns out the vid operator's name was Jack, he had remained completely quiet up to this point.  "Well it seems to me that since we found and read all of this information we have no choice but to follow through with devulging this to the world.  Or at least the old states why else did someone go to all of this trouble to hide what they found out in the hopes that people like us would find it.  If we don't follow through with this we will die, if we follow through with this we will die, it we take too long making a decision about what we are going to do then we will die, so no matter what we do we are going to die so let's make it worth while.  I for one do not want to go out without causing some harm."  he picked up a cloth and started polishing his vid camera.  Everyone sat there in wonder.  They didn't even know he had a voice let alone a well rounded opinion. 

"I agree with him!" Sharron pointed at Jack, "me too" said Greg "me too" said everyone else.  They all laughed together.  Elise stood up and said "we have been at this for hours and I for one am hungry for a great dinner and plesant conversation
