It also profoundly has to do with the "Fed" (an entity which is still 98% hidden).
In short, the belly of The Beast is a toxic stew of institutions and mechanisms that (1.) depend absolutely on public money, and (2.) are totally independent of public control.
That's worth repeating. They are using OUR money to do what THEY want to do and we have ZERO CONTROL over what they do. This is the belly of The Beast. This is "the how".
To be frank, this is also a bare minimum sketch and badly needs fleshing out by you economic pros out there.
In short, "in general" I suggest this is what's happening. However, I KNOW it is deregulated theft (and by now, millions Americans know this too, e.g., banks and Wall Street). But I also realize it can and should be said much more clearly and subtly by people who have the expertise to lay it out for us.
So, this is a kind of SOS to you economic/financial professionals who can spell out for us "the how" of this virtually surreal world that can do anything they want with OUR money -- while not answering to any governmental, regulatory agency.
Through a glass darkly for me is that it's a kind of "separate dimension" from our government (pitiful, though it is), elections, and Constitution. It's ultimately "the how" of The Beast.
One last question.
Am I in dreamland by thinking to the degree we see the specific dynamics of this abstract, economic world that is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of the "will of the people", but which can function only with the WEALTH of the people, can the "power of the people" finally sink our teeth into The Beast?
Knowledge is power, and when you factor in the internet, the power should be virtually limitless.
If enough Americans and human Earthlings "get it" that national/international "deregulation" is the lifeblood of The Beast, then we have a chance of reinstating a government (or civilization), of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The alternative is Dick Cheny's sneer and Paul McCartney's hoarded billions (beetle as in cockroach), and war criminals being treated by our President like they were postmen or dog catchers. The alternatives are institutional religion businesses run by geezers in dresses. The alternative is genocidal aids in Africa. The alternative is that our oceans have risen 7 inches during the last century and are scientifically predicted to rise from 8 to 24 inches this century. The alternative is that The Beast is forcing the human species to the abyss of extinction . . . listen to how easy it is now to hear the whisper of oblivion.
The altenative is the alpha and omega of 9/11.
