“A certain type of person
strives to become a master over all, and to extend his force, his will to
power, and to subdue all that resists it. But he encounters the power of
others, and comes to an arrangement, a union, with those that are like him:
thus they work together to serve the will to power. And the process goes
on.”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The political class is made up of those
that seek to gain power over others due to either an attitude of superiority,
an inflated ego, a desire to advance a personal agenda, or a misplaced concern
for the wretched majority that they believe through power can be molded to
their way of thinking. These political types are of many stripes, but among
them rest an evil core, that group that will go to any lengths to not only gain
power and control over others, but to keep it at any cost. Politicians of this
ilk are the most self-serving of all.
But these groups of politicians who make up the governing class, those
with false illusions of grandeur, soon awaken to the fact that they are not the
actual rulers, but instead are serving a higher power. This higher power of
elites actually controls the political class, but does so in many cases with
anonymity, and with the use of illegal payoffs, blackmail, bribery, extortion,
or threat of harm. The politician soon comes to the realization that government
is but a racket that is based on collusion with a criminal element that holds a
monopoly on power. It is similar to the hierarchal structure of a mafia underworld
where the heads of the family, the bosses, remain in the shadows, while their
lieutenants, the politicians, carry out orders handed down from above.

I
will preface my next statements with an apology to the mafia. While it is a
criminal organization, it is certainly much more exposed and honest than any
elite controlling entity or political class of individuals who work together to
achieve dishonest ends. The mafia does not pretend to be a moral and caring
ruler over others, and does not claim the high ground in any intellectual
exercise of power. It simply has a business agenda to profit and gain control
within its own element. Actually, it is able to use the political class in its
illegal efforts, due to the fact that most politicians are more corrupt and self-serving
than mafia members.
According to the FBI’s “Mafia Organization Chart,” it is a
top-down hierarchy led by a boss and underboss, and advised by a powerful Consigliere. In the U.S. political structure,
these bosses might be the banking magnates and corporate heads, advised by
powerful committees like the Trilateral Commission and the Skull and Bones
Order, all working along side the U.S. Intelligence “Community.” The next layer
consisting of captains and lieutenants who command the mafia’s soldiers, are
mirrored in politics by the president, the rest of the executive branch,
Congress, government bureaucratic agencies, and the state governing systems.
This group makes the laws necessary to control the people, and manages all the
agents of force in the military and police. With this control, aggressive
foreign policy and war can be affected by the military against any that stand
in the way of the elitist’s global agenda, while all domestic policy is
controlled from within by police and other state agents of force. The bottom of
the pyramid is of course the general populace, some of whom work hand in hand
with the system, while the rest of society funds and supports this criminal
gang called government due to measures affected by the state that include
theft, welfare, fear, manipulation, individual and intellectual destruction
through contemptible education, and psychological brainwashing. The results of
this nefarious system are evident today in what is now an almost fully
controlled society.
The
United States government then, is simply a criminal racket, subordinate to the
real power structure, and is not representative of the common people as has
been falsely sold to the gullible public. Government is little more than a
puppet regime under the direction of a more dominant ruling authority, one that
has an agenda of total power and control.
When
speaking in a general manner such as this, it is important to point out that
not every single politician can be described as I generally paint the group.
There have always been a few members of government and other suspicious
organizations that were or are truly sincere in their efforts to make a better
world, and to examine and expose the failings of the system in which they chose
to participate. But these few have not had the capability to repair or improve
what has turned out to be a perverted and contaminated ruling system, and in
some cases, they have been marginalized or eliminated due to their efforts.
In effect, the corruption of the ruling class is of such
magnitude, that only a mass of individuals working
together can stop the onslaught of this elite power growth. I am not speaking
here of a meaningless voting public, of any civic consensus, or any collective
political action group. I am suggesting that a rebirth of thought at the individual level of society as a whole has to
occur in a manner not seen in modern history.
Strength must replace weakness in order
to achieve freedom, as liberty cannot survive in this current environment.
Solutions are evident, but cannot be implemented by political force, as that
technique would necessarily destroy the solution itself. What is required is a
conscious awakening in the individual soul, and a desire by large numbers of
the oppressed majority to break the chains of the unmistakable tyranny that is
now ever-present in our lives.
