The Chains of Power



It’s been said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” From elementary school to college, to whatever direction life takes you, there is an undeniable magnetism toward popularity, privilege and positions of power. In short, the ability to do what most people can’t, and to have access to where most others can’t go. And that attraction and eventual need grows significantly more with ambition. Although this phrase has been very direct in its meaning over the years, it hasn’t been understood by most in its true context. The reality in most nations is that very few people ever have real power, and even fewer have power absolute. This kind of authority is typically wielded by families and organizations, not individuals. What seems vast to the public is in reality run only by a chosen few. Well known companies and brands, owned by less known but larger and more influential companies and corporations. You go up until you get to a small conglomerate of ownership in every single industry.


What is perceived by the public as being in positions of great influence, are usually mistaken for positions of power. These are names that are popular amongst the mainstream, usually in the entertainment headlines and easily found online. In comparison to the average middle and upper middle class American earners, these are indeed sought-after positions and can be easily seen as examples of power. But when you begin to assess why your television programming tends to follow certain trends, or why military actions are taken against certain regions in the world and who benefits financially as a result, then true power is put into a better perspective. Let’s be more specific.


The three most powerful entities in the United States are the White House, the Pentagon and Wallstreet. They are the cornerstones of this nation. Simplified, they represent the constant movement of national and international money, having the manpower to protect it and the nation’s citizens, and efficient oversight over all of the above. And like any system that needs to be sustained, these entities are empowered from incredible financial sources, to include the entertainment industry, the private sector and the illegal drug trade.


Directly below those three entities are two others that help keep the United States in a solid position globally. Those are the IRS, who ensures money from all sectors is consistently paid up to the government without interruption. And an essential industry, the media, which helps to ensure the around the clock influence of as many people as possible. To make sure they are always comfortable, passionate and protective of the systemic processes that have been established.

One thing that still remains true from the empirical dynasties of the past to the organized governments and secret societies of today, the people must truly believe in the archetype in front of them in order for it to be successful. Whether it is just or unjust, without the willing participation of the average citizen no system can flourish. And once it is flourishing, one entity cannot allow any of the others to fall or to become compromised. One compromised industry will compromise others, causing a domino effect that could put the security of the country itself at risk. For example, if giant corporations unexpectedly and simultaneously take record losses, it will affect stock prices, job layoffs, tax dollars and donations to law enforcement and medical facilities. This would directly affect the economy and families across the board. Because if these issues are not quickly resolved, it will move on to affect other industries, including military funding, the largest beneficiary of the national budget. To avoid this as best as possible, it is made to be understood that the people placed in positions of authority in these industries make its maintenance and stability their main priority, at times even over their own families. And these positions include senior executives of major corporations (Media, Technology, Manufacturing, etc), local and federal judges, military generals and chiefs, members of the IMF, CFR, FBI, CIA etc. When you attach names to these positions, and positions to end results, the broader chess board tends to become a little clearer. This then leaves little room for baseless conspiracy theories, which is how hidden information is normally categorized in order to redirect the public from critical thought.

To be elite is the most prized privilege. The men and women that sit in these positions are always supported and protected by other multitudes of people who are also in empowered in every industry. Empowered in positions where critical decisions are regularly required and will have dire consequences if chosen incorrectly. And the benefits that come along are usually influential enough where one will do next to anything to maintain it or rise higher in the ranks. In many cases, long enough to pass down wealth to future family generations. And with technology so ever evolving at such a rapid pace, advancing so many newly forming agendas, the gap is becoming even wider between what’s seen as the haves and the have nots. So where does this eventually lead?


Centralization, a large, tight knit group of workers operating with a similar goal, requires a lot of moving pieces in order to be efficient. How long does it take to place enough people in the right position in order to take over a company, a county, a city, or a region of the country? In any war, or approach to an issue where control is warranted, requires understanding and infiltration. This is the only way to get to the root of a problem, or to an objective. And the most effective method of long term, stable infiltration is in groups. In order to build enough influence from established, business relationships to eventually stack your county, city council and state with judges, congressmen/women and law enforcement who are sympathetic to your ideals and protection, will take time. This includes families whose children grow up together, and colleagues and social clubs who familiarize themselves under alike business and personal interests.


Imagine that you have seniority in a small but successful company, it could take ten years or more to hire and secure long term positions for your friends, or your professional preferences. Positions such as management, security, IT, assistant manager, billing etc. Mostly filled with people whom you trust and are confident you will retain their loyalty and best contribution to the company as a result. By the same approach, it could take two to three generations to seize that same level of influence throughout an entire state, and only a few more to seize that level of influence over an entire country. All just simple and consistent strategy over a long-term period of time. So, the people, the families, the organizations placed in these various positions in order to maintain that stability within these industries, are essential for their success.


Confusion breeds fear. And there are no better assets to be able to manipulate within a society for those who seek power. However, if public fear is not controlled, it can also produce unity among those you prefer to be divided. The fear to oppose must be carefully controlled. It is the curiosity and lack of action that fuel the legend as well as the power of the elite in this nation. The more you learn of your societal environment, the better awareness and preparation you have.


Here are some questions to consider. How do you get there, to the foreseeable top, at still a relatively young age? What protects you from blatant indisputable crimes, other than having a decent to great lawyer? What is the highest percentage of similarities of the backgrounds of the people in these positions of power and influence? Some roads we know, such as an ivy league education, nepotism etc, to some less familiar, to include induction into certain influential organizations.
