I have been following throughout the election the media
focus on "The Establishment," the true villain to the
"outsiders" running for president.
There are some interesting conclusions one might reach in discussing
such a Dark Force.
For one, the absolute lack of historical perspective by the
reporters is depressing to anyone hoping to find high journalistic standards in
the reporting. If one were to believe
all the various stories one might think this is a new phenomenon in this
election cycle and that is false.
Quite the contrary, the lack of definition by the media of
what is the establishment results in a total failure to identify who is the
establishment. As a result, I say shame
on a media that claims to be your source of information, and implied truth, yet
operates without the benefit of historical perspective when writing about the
establishment and the impact on the election.
Defining the
Establishment
So let me define the establishment. They are the people, organizations, political
parties, corporations, bankers, and institutions whose own special interest is
more important to them than what is good for the people.
Make no mistake this villain has been around since the
dawning of civilization. Since then
there has been a continuous war of words, and even arms, as in the weapons
type, between the power seekers and the people.
Our nation was born in a revolution against the establishment
at the time, the British Empire , and has been
a continuous struggle for control between the people and the establishment ever
since. Many of those perceived as the
establishment change from time to time although there is a core that has perpetrated
their power as long as there has been a nation.
Greed for power, the audacity for knowing what is right for
the people, control of the institutions, manipulation of the government, an
insatiable appetite for wealth and money, all characterize the foundation of
the establishment. This group sees
themselves as the sole judge of what is right and best for the people.
More often than not, they harbor a disdain for the people
casting them off as ignorant and uninformed.
Thus, we begin to see the complexity of the establishment and difficulty
one may have in identifying them.
The establishment can be a group, a corporation, advocates
of a social cause, political partisans, even individuals provided they are
billionaires.
The Ruling Oligarchy
However, the core and foundation for the establishment
reflects the prestige of the blue bloods who have survived for generations, to
wit, the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York ; the Rothschilds of Paris and London ;
the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome .
It is this group and their network of banks that effectively
control all major corporations and banks in America and most of the civilized
world. The same group has been fighting
for control of American assets and wealth since the American Revolution. You hear not a word from the media about the
power, reach, and control of this group because they hide their holdings in a
complex ownership maze and use far removed agents to do their bidding.
Control of arms, energy, transportation, finances, diamonds,
gold, even economies of most governments of the world are the tools of this
group used successfully not just for generations, for centuries.
Here you have the core foundation of the establishment that
has tormented presidents for nearly 250 years from Washington
to Jackson, Lincoln
to Kennedy, Reagan and beyond, through their banking maze and Federal Reserve
control. .
This oligarchy
controls the world and the American public is beginning to understand how
powerful the establishment has become in exerting control over our
institutions, and becoming aware of the self-serving greed of said oligarchy.
The Agents, Institutions, and Special Interests
I noted the wealth
and reach of the oligarchy reaches into the mainstream of our society through
the many ways we spend money. Thus, the
special interests that lobby, pay off, and even own our elected officials and
political personalities can be extensive.
Lobbyists for
special interests and the special interests themselves like the banking,
financial, pharmaceutical, health care, insurance, transportation, energy,
automobile, food, arms, and other major institutions are card-carrying members.
Even groups like
the Chamber of Commerce, Labor Unions and Teachers, and Lawyers are hardcore
members of the establishment though with far less political clout than those
previously mentioned.
A major
institution is the bureaucracy of government at the federal, state, and local
levels, as distinguished from the workers for the bureaucracy covered by the
unions.
Colleges and
Universities as a whole, and in particular individual institutions like
Harvard, Yale, and Princeton of the Ivy League
are major players because they have been educating the children of the rich and
powerful for over two centuries. As a
result, their alumni are the rulers of the world and the children of the alumni
receive legacy status assuring them a place in the hallowed halls of the Ivy
League without competing for limited openings.
It is no accident
these three Ivy League schools are in a league of their own as Harvard has
produced six presidents, Yale three, and Princeton
two, eleven of our forty-four presidents from just three schools.
In fact, Yale and
Harvard have now controlled the United
States
Political Parties and Social Causes
Beyond the
membership already outlined in the establishment, there are the political
parties, the Democratic and Republican national and statewide organizations,
along with the political action committees (PACS), who provide the dollars to
maintain the political agendas of the two parties. In truth, no political agenda articulated in
a campaign is implemented once someone is elected as both parties are beholden
to the same Core Establishment controlling the wealth and finances of the
nation.
PACS can be party
affiliated or Super PACS who can support any party, cause, or person they want
who will best protect the establishment.
As for the Social
Causes, many have become so institutionalized and powerful over the years that
they now represent tentacles of the establishment. Money has no opinion, no favorite cause nor
bias, it is the people who control the wealth who do.
Most powerful
among the social cause institutions is the National Rifle Association. Others who yield lesser degrees of power are
Planned Parenthood, the Right to Choice, Prolife, and well down the list are
the various groups involved in civil rights, equality, anti-discrimination, and
others.
There you have
it, a definitive identification of the Establishment, perhaps missing a few
players, but far more inclusive than anything the media has done to date. Of course the bottom line is this. The
New World Order is the Old World Order.
