ONE ESTABLISHMENT RULES U. S.
Influence Co-Opts President, Congress, Courts

The
past 100 years have been
phenomenally successful for a small,
powerful circle often called the
Establishment. In 1913, the
Establishment got its long sought
private bank (called the Federal
Reserve) with the exclusive
franchise to create and lend legal
currency used by the U. S.
government and the American people.
The same year, 1913, they got a tax
on all income earned by productive
people, with rates graduated higher
for more successful producers. The
very next year, 1914, the
Establishment commenced a landmark
achievement: World War I.WWI was desired and brought on
by the Establishment for two
reasons. They wanted war to make
human society more malleable more
accepting of change. The change
desired was, and is, back to the
two-class society which existed
through the 18th Century. Secondly,
the Establishment wanted WWI to
begin dealing practically with the
worst of all evils (in their eyes),
human population growth. Thus, the
bigger and more destructive the war,
the better the Establishment liked
it.The war which began in 1914 fit
the bill perfectly. WWI killed more
young men in numerous single battles
than the entire, horrendous American
War of 1860-1865, in which more
Americans died than in all other
wars combined. The U. S. entered WWI
in 1917, about the time Russia laid
down its arms on the eve of victory
and withdrew from the Allies
Eastern Front. At the time, one of
the Establishments major tax-exempt
foundations in the U. S. (claiming
dedication to international peace)
secretly wrote a letter urging
President Woodrow Wilson to be sure
the war did not end too soon.A Little Homework
These historical facts teach
that the Establishments views and
policies are not identical to, or
even beneficent towards, interests
of the American people. Equally to
the point today, the Establishment
determines the course of actions,
including war, of the U. S.
government not the American
people.Another significant aspect of
past and present American reality is
not as well understood. Only one
Establishment exists. Its political
ideology is neither Democratic nor
Republican neither liberal nor
conservative.The Establishment rules the U.
S. and controls the federal
government through multiple levels
of operatives. Some operatives
surface as faces called the
Democratic Establishment and the
Republican Establishment. But,
remember, major media use these
benign euphemisms to describe the
ruling elite because the elite media
themselves are operatives of the
Establishment.The Democratic Establishment
advances the elitist agenda by
exploiting liberal ideology and a
variety of interest groups. The
Republican Establishment attempts to
move the agenda and score points for
the ruling elite using arguments
appealing to conservative audiences.
Arguments for elitist aims are often
illogical and unappealing to common
people, so Establishment candidates
of either party usually win, if at
all, by sheer power of money used to
smear opponents personally.In a nutshell, this explains why
a Republican president in power
eight years stood by in 2008 as its
electoral constituency was decimated
financially. Both the George W. Bush
White House and the John McCain
presidential candidacy embraced the
$700 billion TARP gift to Henry
Paulson and his Establishment
international banking cronies,
despite the opposition of 90% of the
U. S. electorate. Only candidate
Obama was guided to pretend he
didnt like TARP, while Democrat and
Republican “leadership” provided
plenty of votes to assure its
passage. This was clearly abuse of
government power to favor an elite
few at the expense of the people.The Rwandan Model of Government
Tutsi and Hutu tribes of Rwanda
paid high prices for abuse of
government power to favor one group
over the other. Hutu out-numbered
Tutsi nine-to-one, but Tutsi
controlled government in colonial
times until the Hutu gained control
of government. On April 6, 1994, the
plane of the Hutu head-of-state was
shot down, and Hutu extremists began
a campaign to wipe out the Tutsi by
mass genocide. Within 100 days,
about 800,000 Rwandans were
murdered, mostly Tutsi, in the
cheapest ways possible, usually with
clubs or machetes.In America, the U. S.
Constitution and Bill of Rights were
designed to foreclose abuses of
citizens that extremist partisans
often rush to inflict. In 1789, the
states ratified the Constitution,
but Americans pressed to add the
Bill of Rights which even the
Founders did not foresee as
necessary. Thankfully, the Bill of
Rights shaped so much law protecting
individual liberties for two
centuries. Imagine how much more
quickly the federal government would
have grasped leviathan powers had
the Bill of Rights never been
adopted.These days, and for years on
end, hardly a week passes in which
the federal government is not openly
flagrantly ignoring law imposed
by the Constitution, including the
Bill of Rights, or by duly enacted
statutes. The presidents
first duty under the
Constitution is to see that the laws
are faithfully enforced. Yet the
president sees himself as empowered
to modify enforcement as he pleases.
Much of Congress and the Supreme
Court sees itself as holding
comparable discretionary powers to
put the Constitution aside.Here is a much abbreviated list
of grievances against current abuses
of power by the U. S. government.
The
government
arrested a young reporter,
Barrett Brown, for writing about
information leaked by others
onto the internet, seized his
investigative notes, holds him
without bail, and threatens
prosecution for life
imprisonment.
A
noted
investigative reporter,
Michael Hastings, working
intensely on leads potentially
embarrassing to federal
officials, died mysteriously in
a violent car explosion in early
morning Los Angeles under
circumstances one experienced
investigator calls murder.
A
young computer whiz, Edward
Snowden, exposed wholesale
violations of constitutional
rights by National Security
Agency surveillance, which
shocked even members of
Congress, but is driven into
man-without-a-country exile by
government threats of prison or
worse.
Parents of Seal Team Six special
operators, killed in Afghanistan
after being loaded onto an
antiquated Vietnam-era
helicopter and shot out of the
sky in darkness with a
limited-range grenade-launcher,
question whether their sons were
betrayed by their own chain
of command.
Secret government geoengineering
weather
modification programs
proceed apace on an
international scale, sharply
diverting the natural jetstream
and causing a variety of
severely unnatural weather
events, plus acute health
concerns for humans of all ages,
animals, plants and species of
every variety.
The
president
claimed authority to seize
all public or private
communications systems pursuant
to his executive order issued
July 6, 2013 (the Saturday
following Independence Day).
Bringing It Home
All of this has everything to do
with investing in financial
instruments, in homes, in marriages
and families, and in personal
commitments at every level.
Political instability is now the
unseen 700 pound gorilla in every
investment committee meeting and
around every kitchen table, having
taken that preeminent role from
large-scale financial fraud, which
continues apace.For you who are new readers and
those who cling to the hope that
America the Beautiful will be with
us perpetually, a brief review of
reality may be in order. No economic
recovery is here or coming because
government policies will not permit
it. U. S. policies are elitist from
top to bottom, designed to cause a
variety of crises in every venue,
one after another. Each crisis is
exploited to reduce general
prosperity and well-being rather
than increase it.As an offered proof that this is
not hyperbole, consider a query.
What public official, more than any
other (leaving the president aside),
has performed sinister duties
antagonistic to Americans interests
over the past five years? With
numerous possible contenders,
including the Attorney General and
the departed Secretary of Treasury,
newly resigned Secretary of Homeland
Security Janet Napolitano might be
the odds-on favorite, at least on
the domestic front.As head of DHS, former Arizona
governor Napolitano hired, armed and
equipped the first federal standing
force classified as civilian but
trained and outfitted for military
tasks. She bought more than two
billion rounds of ammunition, much
of it hollow-nose, the type
outlawed in international warfare,
designed to inspire terror as well
as kill and maim horribly. She
bought thousands of automatic
weapons and armored transports. This
taxpayer-financed armed force
deployed within our own borders is
the greatest threat to
constitutional rights in America
since Reconstruction.Immediately upon Napolitanos
resignation from DHS amid warmest
accolades from the president, the
University of California board of
regents
announced her appointment as
president of the largest university
system in the country. If you seek
a superb illustration that the
American academy serves the ruling
elites agenda above all else, you
have it in this action. Some
students
protested the appointment, but
only because Napolitano had
inspired fear in the hearts of
illegal immigrants.Perhaps the students are unaware
of concerns raised in hearts and
minds of Americans who have been
categorized, astonishingly, as
potential domestic terrorists by
Napolitanos DHS training manuals.
Those categories include Christians,
conservatives, advocates of the
right to bear arms, participants in
tea party political activities,
and military veterans. Further to
the point, the students presumably
have not heard of DHS exercises
designed to familiarize trainees
with shooting unarmed men, women and
children.
Economics of Constitutional
SubversionTo
chronicle, analyze and challenge
each action taken to tighten
government power over Americans
requires constant vigilance and
commentary. The U. S. government is
aggressively assembling powers and
capabilities useful in totalitarian
control of society. This concern
must be assessed in every personal
and business decision, including
investments. It is the most pressing
challenge of classical economics
today. ~
