Corporatocracy

Harold Geneen:
CEO of ITT Corporation enabled
Chile CIA coup

The United States is a Colony of the Western Empire. The Western Empire is an invisible empire. It has no overt existence. There's no gaudy cosplay monarch like the British empire used to have. Instead, it permeates the day to day life of billions of people and is headquartered in boardrooms and executive offices around the world. The empire is visible at times, though, and the general pattern of it is corporatocracy.

One really good, recent example of corporatocracy in action was the overthrow of Salvador Allende and subsequent US government directed slaughter of thousands of his supporters in Chile, starting September 11, 1973. The ITT corporation helped facilitate the CIA operations in Chile to help install Augusto Pinochet. Another example is the coup in Indonesia in 1965 that led to genocidal massacres. In the latter case, Barrack Obama's mother and father seem to have been involved in some capacity as agents of "the Empire".

Those operations follow a fairly typical pattern described in detail by John "Economic Hitman" Perkins, and continue a pattern that was established in the dawning of the colonial era, where joint stock companies like The Dutch East India Company were hybrid private merchant/government organizations. In fact, the "economic hitman", financial domination model just replaced the old colonial model after World War 2 and actually imported it back to the United States and Europe so now Americans and Europeans are subject to the same type of exploitation that used to be applied only to "foreigners".

Oddly enough, this history seems to explain why there is a disproportionate number of Jewish people in prominent positions in this iteration of Empire. The joint stock companies were pioneered by Jewish merchants along trade routes known to Jewish people before European monarchies got so heavily involved. Abraham Zacuto, for example helped furnish 15th century Portugal with celestial navigation know-how.
