It is not only the US imposing control on the world... although ever since Cecil Rhodes, and before, colonialism and imperialism has been a factor for the "old-money" influence and corruption... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/wor...ow-China-created-new-slave-empire-Africa.html Of course, the "political support" for such actions is all the wealth being spread around on subsequent associates and employees of schemers. It is the ultimate corruption... destroying democracy, freedom and freedom of thought. Living here in Brazil - the corruption schemes are much more well-known and open, with participants being silenced after accepting tours, events, goods etc from the group of embezzlers or other corrupt officials. Brazilian crime is rampant because of the perceived exploitations in society. In the US, no one trust the federal government with main stream media effectively shutting out and marginalizing alternative views, and US jails are filled to the brink from systemic bias. China has the largest number of yearly executions, active and enormous censorship apparatus etc. A vicious cycle of suppression and oppression, greatness and destruction - from the taking part in the social Darwinism game - on national and international levels --- destroying any ideas of "free markets" and Laissez-faire. Tax payers and civilians pay with their work and lives... all expendable "sheep" being herded by their "managers" - all commoditized through "logical" socioeconomics and ideology. Logic is a one-directional method of reasoning and reducing (reductionism, Occam's razor) information throughout the process... while systems science adds information and keeps the "complete picture" to balance the view and stay neutral. Divide and rule... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_capital http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_thought http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragmatism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductionism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_democracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(philosophy)
Theodore Roosevelt "Muckrake Speech" of 1906: "There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward_Griffin "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavus_Myers "History of the Great American Fortunes" Strongly financially influential "old-money": ⢠Rothschild family, London ⢠Rothschild family, Berlin ⢠Lazard Bros, Paris ⢠Israel Seiff , Italy ⢠Kuhn-Loeb Co, Germany ⢠Warburg family, Amsterdam ⢠Warburg family, Hamburg ⢠Lehman Bros, New York ⢠Goldmann & Sachs, New York ⢠Rockefeller family, New York Some lesser ones, but still "old-money" and packs influence ⢠Bush family, New York http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine Other "niceties" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Dei http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_Beta_Kappa_Society http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes_Scholarship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_politics
