How the U.S. Government was Overthrown in Three Easy Steps...

" So what if I told you that the powers of financial capitalism(bankers, etc.), had a far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands, able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. ...."

"....And what if I told you they had succeeded?"

1. This is very well written, wildbill

Here are the conclusions drawn (emphasis mine):

The point is not to assert that there is a secret group who is pulling the strings of the modern world. It is far more complex. It is possible that there still exist the inner circle of "initiates." But I have no evidence for it. In fact, the evidence strongly suggest that after 1910 or so, the whole organization took on a new character. And it certainly got uglier.

The point is to draw light on this hidden part of our history and the inner workings of the one percent of one percent. They love the shadows and secrecy. They control the flow of information to a horrifying extent. They have untold influence over our government in ways most people can't imagine.

And they have a perilous vision for our world. Who has jurisdiction over a transnational economy. Who can regulate it? What democratic institution can even stand up to it?

This is the central downfall of the globalization idea. As David Rothkopf observes in this Newsweek column, having a global economy is great for the pirates, but is devasting for democracy, sovereignty, and justice.

Having had personal experience with globalization (had to train my replacement at a company I had been with for a number of years so that my position could be done overseas), I saw how it personally impacted myself and nearly all my co-workers. It wasn't pretty.
