No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you probably
agree that the global elite have too much power and influence. It has
been said that “money is power”, and today that seems to be more true than
ever. Those at the very, very top of the pyramid dictate the rules of the
game for the rest of us, and there isn’t too much that the rest of us can do
about it. When we talk about how the global elite dominate our lives, the
focus tends to be on how they influence national governments, but the truth is
that is one of the areas where the global elite have the least control. I
know that may sound strange, but I believe that things will become clearer by
the end of this article.
I would submit that corporations are the primary vehicle that the
elite use to control our lives. In fact, many global corporations are now
larger and more powerful than most national governments, and collectively the
network of global corporations that dominates the planet is far larger and far
more powerful than any single national government.
A number of years ago, a remarkable study was conducted that
closely examined the interconnecting relationships of major corporations all
over the world. That study discovered that a network of 1,318
enormous companies dominated the global economy, and it also found that 147
colossal corporations at the core of that web formed a “super-entity” that
controlled 40 percent of the entire network…
Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on
average they were connected to 20. What’s more, although they represented 20
per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own
through their shares the majority of the world’s large blue chip and
manufacturing firms – the “real” economy – representing a further 60 per cent
of global revenues.
When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found
much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit
companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the
super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network.
“In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per
cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial
institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and
The Goldman Sachs Group.
Of course at the very top are the ultra-wealthy individuals that
own and control the gigantic corporations that make up the “super-entity”.
This is why our major corporations all seem to have the same values.
At the very top their ownerships are all interlinked, and so trying to
fundamentally change the culture of these massive institutions is nearly
impossible.
Many have promoted the idea of refusing to economically engage
this monster, but that has become nearly impossible. Over the years, we
have seen so many promising companies get gobbled up by this “super-entity”,
and in many instances the customers of these companies don’t even realize that
they are now owned by someone else.
Because they have such a huge share of the market, the global
elite essentially dictate what gets produced, what gets sold and what gets
bought.
And if you need a loan to buy a home or to make some other major
purchase, you normally have to go through one of their financial institutions.
But of course it doesn’t stop there. Politicians love to
talk about “job creation”, but the truth is that it is our major corporations
that really hold the keys over who works where.
When I was much younger, I made it very clear who I was and what I
believed on my resume. What a big mistake that was. If you want to
get hired by the elite, it has to look like you share their values and that you
will be a good little cog in the machine.
And the elite ensure that they will have an endless supply of
“good little cogs” by completely and utterly dominating our system of higher
education. Colleges and universities that have done as the elite have
wished have been absolutely showered with money, while others have been allowed
to go by the wayside.
At this point, a “college education” will pretty much look the
same no matter where you go, and that is extremely unfortunate.
Once we leave school, the elite continue to control what we think
through their ownership of nearly all of the major media and entertainment
companies. Today, more than 90 percent of the “news” and “entertainment”
that we get through our televisions is produced by their colossal media
empires, and the average American spends approximately five hours a day in
front of a television.
If you allow anyone to feed propaganda into your mind for five
hours a day, that is going to have an enormous impact on how you view the
world.
You can try flipping over to a different channel than you normally
watch, but that won’t change much.
Have you ever wondered why the news always sounds the same no
matter which channel you are watching?
Needless to say, that doesn’t happen by accident.
In the early years, the Internet allowed alternative voices to
compete with the giant media empires, but now that is rapidly changing.
Because giant corporations now control so much of the Internet, those
corporations can silence dissenting voices by “deplatforming” them. One
by one, bright lights are going out all over the Internet, and eventually the only
voices that will be left will be corporate-approved voices.
The Constitution that governs our land is supposed to guarantee
freedom of speech. But the corporations that completely dominate our
lives now control most of the online “public squares”, and they have made it
abundantly clear that they are going to dictate what can be said and what
cannot be said.
So you can still go out in your backyard and say whatever you
want, but at this point “freedom of speech” is dead in this country for all
practical purposes.
Are you starting to understand the power that they have?
President Trump cannot control what you say, but the major
corporations do it every day.
And unlike our politicians, we cannot get rid of the corporations
at the voting booth.
No matter what happens in November, the global elite are going to
continue to dominate our society, but if we stay on the road that they are
leading us down our
future is going to be exceedingly bleak.
Voices such as mine will continue to try to wake people up, but
when the other side has almost unlimited resources it is a very tough battle to
fight.
However, we can never give up, because as long as the corporations
owned by the global elite completely dominate our society we will never truly
be free.

picture of the economic reality we’ve all been forced to face. But the times
haven’t been so bleak for everyone. Apparently, many Americans have been able
