Implicit Trust

This post-industrial world of high flying 
technological innovations has created 
disproportionate wealth for its entrepreneurs 
unimaginable in the past, where founders 
gain the vaunted status of imperial celebrity 
with fortunes built on the substance of belief
in the wares and futures of intelligence in a 
world where mere physical labour has become
passe. Under the imprimatur of one of the 
world's most impressive cutting-edge 
communications systems appears a public 
appeal assuring the skeptical that the founder 
pledges his multinational with its octopus 
arms firmly lodged in all advanced countries 
of the globe has no goal other than to fulfill
the needs of its clients, a formidable task
for which the giant corporation's skills and 
experience are confidently suited. Who could 
possibly doubt the integrity and full disclosure 
of a man with such a brilliant mind humbling 
himself with this appeal reminding readers 
of past reliability in successfully achieving 
goals, now prepared to extend its army of  
technicians for the latest of such goals to 
bring prosperity to all nations recognizing 
the wisdom of engaging it in the latest advance
toward a future of global communications
endowed with speed and breadth of coverage 
none can rival? All that is lacking alas, is trust 
that this group's brilliant technology does not 
become an entry portal for mass surveillance 
and espionage by a massive nation whose own 
performance in both have become internationally 
notorious much less its penchant for co-opting 
the allegiance of its multitudinous state aligned
corporations sweeping the world of commerce.
