USA Inc. is a term I use to prevent over-generalization. I know that unless a society is run with perfect consensus democracy, then what is done in the name and with the resources of the people of that society is not the same as the actual will of each individual. The discrepancy between in whose name and with whose money on one hand and according to whose will and desire on the other becomes even greater with majority rule democracy and even more so in a flawed democracy when it is not even the majority of the voting and paying population that is reflected in the acts of the national "whole". I want to avoid coming off as if I blamed all and everything usually incorporated into the terms "America","Americans", "USA" etc and instead better target the actual puppet masters and interests behind certain actions and decisions. It is my belief and educated theory that the power generated by having in possession something many others want badly(money, information,opportunities etc), gives those holding such resources and such power a direct and indirect influence over the decision making of our political representatives that goes beyond that given by the "one-person-one-vote". I believe mainly it is monetary interests that shapes the main agenda of what is being done with the money and in the name of the population of most nations. USA is far from the only example, but it is undoubtfully the most powerful puppet to play among the nation-states. The people are the resource-providing "shareholders" of a corporate-like institution which is used to generate ever-increasing profit. However, as it is not a corporation per se there are no laws and no real demand for the proper distribution of the generated profits. The "shareholders" are not given pay-offs in proportion to what is generated or to the risks they are taking with their "investments". Nor are they given insight or influence as to the decisions and plans of the "board of directors" - in fact, they have no idea of either the total number or the identity of those ultimately pulling the strings at the very top. It is much like Enron - the majority of those investing in without having much insight and control when it came to what their investments was being used for, will find themselves being betrayed, robbed blind and gradually understanding that the major winners won because they had never intended the company to last but instead sought out to suck out all they could before leaving the ship to go down. Dissemination of guilt and sacrifice, concentration of revenue and power. Thus, USA Inc refers to the actual puppet masters: inter- and transnational actors using their influence and resources to alternately steer and dictate the movements of the big actors on the international arena such as transnational NGOs, IGOs, PGOs, nation state governments, unions and blocks of nations, central banks etc. For a better description and identification of these Puppet Masters, see my other article(6). USA Inc has been more active in creating the same Somali crisis/war/turbulence/disaster(terminology becomes tricky when all words seem worn and washed out and/or incorrect-not to mention that the spin masters of the official puppets steal and alter the meanings of terms on a continuous basis) that it is now a mixture of covert and overt actions participating in. "A U.S. air attack on a Somali village (7)occupied by Islamists believed to be sheltering an Al Qaeda suspect has left "many dead bodies", a Somali government source said on Tuesday.." U.S. FORCES HIT FOUR LOCATIONS IN SOMALIA AIR STRIKES ON WEDNESDAY(8) This direct involvement of USA is just the present top of an iceberg of "From USA with love"-inscribed aid and support to various elements in the past that helped bringing the present situation about. Reports have also emerged that suggest paramilitary presence of special forces of U.S Military and CIA officers now directly embedded with Ethiopian forces in Somalia. Earlier this year, the CIA began quietly making cash payments to a group of Somali warlords who pledged to help hunt down members of Al Qaeda. Publicly the U.S. claims it does not back Somali warlords.
