The point is that your one-dimensional history cannot account for all of the evidence.

Gopher: What is your assessment of the influence of the Trilateral Commission, and other think tanks, like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group, on US foreign policy?

[Gopher]

No, Visitorq. You are hurling around a crude, and not to mention obsolete, version of dependency theory -- and not even consciously so.

I doubt you have read much beyond the shrill conspiracy-theory literature one finds on the internet and in the pulp press, perhaps a youtube "documentary" or two.

You sound like Stuart talking about the Colonel in So I Married an Axe Murderer. Good luck in life.

I will admit this of visitorq: his posts amuse me a great deal. I have never come across anyone quite as persistent in their efforts to create the impression of knowledge. I feel a sort of pity that he should fail so miserably.

To clarify:

Dependency theory (similar to Marxism) states that there is a 'world system' of poorer periphery countries and a core of richer countries. The main idea is that the resources and cheap labor of the poor countries are used to enrich the core wealthier countries. The focus is on nation states and their economies.

What I was talking about is the global banking establishment, which is something else altogether. This includes the major commercial banks in the US, as well as the major central banks (in the USA the Federal Reserve is actually privately owned by the commercial banks like Citi and JP Morgan, which are controlled by the Rockefellers) modeled after the Bank of England. These banks (which are controlled by a private elite), using government legal tender laws and the legalized fraud that is fractional reserve banking, run what effectively amounts to a gigantic global ponzi scheme (made up of each of the major fiat currencies, but mainly the US dollar). The focus is on the money supply.

The USA, for example, is both the wealthiest nation on earth - and also the most deeply indebted. This is because the entire monetary system is issued by the private Fed as debt, and all at interest. The bankers therefore effectively control the entire economy, as well as the government (as I've shown to be the case with the Trilateral Commission), all of which is indebted to them.

The same banking establishment which controls the West through permanent indebtedness, also controls the third world by the same means. We are all slaves to the bankers, regardless of whether we live in developed or undeveloped countries. It is the Federal Reserve which has bankrupted the US, and caused the previous Great Depression by turning off the money supply. This is much the same as the IMF and World Bank bankrupting underdeveloped countries by charging exorbitant interest on debt that can never be repaid (often encouraging wars to ensure they go into debt in the first place, and funding both sides, as the global banking establishment did in Europe in WWII).

This is not capitalism. Real capital comes from the real economy, and is allowed to accumulate. The fractional reserve currency of the global banking establishment is nothing more than fraud on an epic scale.
