Who Rules, How and Why?

The Critical Thinking project that started in 2012, set out to answer this question and arrived at answers within the first five years of its work.

Eddie shared the following Grand Theft World podcast that refers to a Joe Rogan conversation corroborating the “who” in terms of some of the individuals and corporations. The first part focuses on the power wielded by Blackrock and Vanguard. Alex and I refer to these in our latest paper, The Money Paradox.

Critical Thinking’s analysis points to institutional hierarchy, theft of the commons and usury as the three fundamental flaws that need to be addressed/removed. Since then, our work on money reveals that money itself is the conduit of power. Without money, institutional hierarchy and theft of the commons couldn’t persist.

My email response to Eddie after watching the Grand Theft World podcast above was as follows:

We came to the same proposition a long time ago… “who rules, why and how?” i.e. controls the levers of power.
We have put out quite a lot on this but it’s great to have the richness of detail in corroboration.
ESG is essentially the ideology of destruction (and control) writ large.

Unless I missed it, although they identify the banking system and BIS, they don’t name the Rothschilds who control the banking system and Israel… and consequently everything else. I suspect they know but are careful.
The ultimate irony is what they don’t get yet but probably will. It’s not the “who” that matters. Money is the essential fulcrum through which power is exercised. Remove money and asymmetric power evaporates.
The irony comes from Richard Grove and his interlocutors using this knowledge as a money making venture…
However, this doesn’t detract from its value when the real problem is understood.

We need access to money to live currently; the trick, in our daily lives, is to reduce our reliance on money by not paying those things that feed the system: taxes, interest, fines, charges, utilites…

To repeat: Money is the essential fulcrum through which power is exercised. Remove money and asymmetric power evaporates.

The structure of the political economy is waging war on the human race. The art of war…

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.’  –  Sun Tzu
