MEET THE AMERICAN OLIGARCHS (ὀλῐ́γος) : THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS
Vol. I | Issue. 75 | March 17, 2022
America’s only Chess Players on the World Stage today are The American Oligarchs. The term "oligarchy" derives from the Greek word “oligos“ (ὀλίγος) which means few. It was first known to be used by Aristotle to describe the emergence of a new ruling class of the few.
By definition Oligarchies are a threat to Democracy. A Democracy, or a Constitutional Republic such as America, is run by an elected form of representative government. At the apex, our elected government is the President of The United States, who lives in the White House (often referred to as "The People’s House”), a term that, along with the rest of our democratically elected government, has become increasingly irrelevant. Our government is no longer the elected instrument of the American people.
Who drives the American Ship of State?
I would invite you to meet The American Oligarchs, however, you already know them.“We The People" have anointed them and continue to line their pockets every day. The American Oligarchs are not the clichéd 1% of America's richest. They are probably the 1/100th percent of those who really set the American Agenda, and more increasingly, Agenda of World Governance. They are Globalist, Multinational Tech Barons, who have become multi-billionaires and bear no allegiance to America.
We all know who they are… We have become enthusiastic slaves to their products and services every day. You all know them and their companies: Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta/Facebook, Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, and Jack Dorsey of Twitter. Those are a few of the names whose products and services almost every American uses from the time they wake up in morning to the time they rest their head on that soft pillow every night.
They have bought and paid for much of our government, completely control the flow of information, and increasingly control our freedom of thought, expression, consumer choice, family life, political agenda, and enforced social ostracism through their despotic social media de-platforming.
In Peter Schweitzer's recent best-seller “Red Handed”, there are countless examples of tech multinationals selling military and other strategic technologies to the Chinese without any regard or concern for the existential harm caused to America.
The American Oligarchs are indifferent to the nation that has given them everything. Those things are safety security, elite education, and most of all freedom.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought the caricature of The Russian Oligarchs to the front page. The Russian Oligarchs are the products of the former Soviet Union. Most have the profiles of central casting villains, i.e. swarthy, greedy KGB or Red Army alums, whose interest is their vast wealth and power emanating through their control of Russian Natural Resources, most prominently energy.
The Russian Oligarchs have become the filthy rich symbols of greed and misplaced power mostly on the Russian stage. They have played a good game of checkers within their own borders, but they sprang from the former Soviet Union, a nation that gave them little.
The American Oligarchs have played a masterful game of Chess…
The technology platforms that they have created have made them true Masters of the Universe. They now control our minds, our “for sale” government, and care nothing for America, the shining city on a hill that that got them there.
Hey Oligarchs have played a great game of Chess…. Some might call it Treason.
