Speaking Truth to Power

Identifying the powers that be (TPTB)—they’re not located in the USA!

I have written about the control of the USA by what I call “oligarchy”—the BIGs: BIG-BANKs, BIG-OIL, BIG-DEFENSE, BIG-PHARMA, etc., etc., and by very wealthy individuals (Koch Bros, Bloomberg, etc.).

Well, I’m not entirely wrong (according to a fantastic web-site) nor yet entirely right.

But the USA’s government—according to this account—is certainly less powerful than the BIGS! And they less powerful than the big BANKS and they less powerful than historically wealthy families. So who knows the truth? But a great read.

I cannot do justice to the diagram in the article, so see it yourself!
