<<Who set up the shorts as judges of which fledgling companies shall survive simply because this gang has the financial means to implement their demise?>>

Actually, Pallisard, the shorts do not decide anything, the market does.

Companies that continue to spend more money than they take in, go bankrupt and the stock price goes to $0, unless they can convince the market to keep buying new shares. Those that can't convince the market to buy shares at a fixed price, sell them at a variable price. Those that sell shares at variable prices attract shorts. Why? For the very reason that they can't sell shares at a fixed price. Because they have little credibility in the market.

The shorts are not the problem, they are a symptom of the problem, which is a lack of credibility. Maybe VLNC is on the road to changing this perception. For the sake of people like yourself, who seem to be blindly in love with this company, I hope so.
