The Canadian National Newspaper: The Three P's of Globalizing Power: Politics, Philosophy, and Psychology

Power politics is essentially a matter of plutocrats -- superwealthy blue-blood families -- controlling societal institutions such as banking, military, politics, commerce, media, natural and human resources, healthcare, entertainment, culture, education, and sports. The elites objective is to consolidate power under the rubric of a New World Order wherein national sovereignty is superseded by a militaristic, totalitarian state.

The term: the "Fourth Reich", reminiscent of the despotic, Nazi era under Hitler, rings true. Elites use a variety of organizations to accomplish their goal of a centralized/global sphere of domination. The European Union, NAFTA, and the push for a "North American Union exemplify" elite usurpation of power over independent nation states. Apparently, European royalty rules the "roost", although it seems that U.S. aristocracy also plays a vanguard role via corporate and banking interests. Some "conspiracy authors" furthermore claim that self-serving Manipulative Extraterrestrials are at the pinnacle of power.

I learned about 'Power Politics' while pursuing a masters degree in sociology. C. Wright Millls' book The Power Elite is a classic in the field. Other authors who have written about political power include William Domhoff, Michael Parenti, David Icke, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Bill Cooper, Stuart Swerdlow, and Jim Marrs.

Political campaigns and races for President, Prime Minister, Congressional and Parliamentary positions represent a dog and pony show which distracts from the powers-that-be who manipulate their political puppets from behind the scenes. The puppetmasters are stuck like glue to their power positions despite which party dominates the Executive and Congressional/Parliamentary branches of government. Knowing the agenda of the puppetmasters is more important than believing the rhetoric of politicians. The agenda of the ruling elite is imperial power, economic and political subjugation of the masses, perpetual warfare, and exploitation of natural resources with reckless abandon. Mammon is their god; guile is their goddess.

Plutocrats are highly class conscious, unlike the variegated strands that comprise the so-called middle and working classes. There is little, if any, class consciousness (other than within the union movement) that binds the out-group of "useless eaters" as they are labeled by the dominant, minority ruling class. Consumer consciousness is the binding force of the middle and working class. The superwealthy, when compelled to do so by political pressure and protest, throw breadcrumbs to the hungry masses. Otherwise, a malleable and gullible public flex their feeble political muscle in the futile exercise of voting for either "Tweedle Dee" or "Tweedle Dumb", as if it makes a big difference. In the U.S., voting is a matter of choosing between a rightwing conservative or a glib liberal; both candidates are backed by banking and corporate interests.

The business of an arms merchant, is to sell weapons of every kind -- missiles, aircraft, land-based weaponry, submarines. This pariah has no allegiance to any nation. Author Anthony Sutton's book entitled Trading With the Enemy exposes U.S. and British involvement in supporting conflicting sides of World War I and World War II. Sutton documents how British and American banking, oil and auto industries supported the Nazi war effort. After the war, Nazis war criminals secured prestigous jobs within various U.S. institutions.

Ego-driven plutocrats seem to delight in the suffering of others, which stems from a deep seated sense of impotence and self-loathing. They seem incapable of feeling love or compassion for another human being. People are their pawns in games of power. When an individual is victimized by constant abuse and neglect, and is socialized into a creed of superiority due to class hubris, the result is a sociopathic personality type that projects their schizoid perceptions onto the world.

Elites function from a Machiavellian philosophy, one that reinforces a compulsion to manipulate and control others. Plutocrats foment factionalism and mistrust that pervades human behaviour. They provoke racism, inculcate bigotry and excessive national pride, feed religious emnity and tribal warfare, and fan the flames of chaos and discontent wherever it may flourish. Wars cannot thrive without arms and weapons of mass destruction. Warfare is not possible unless people are seething with hatred and vengeance. Killing becomes commonplace under the guise of protecting one's country from alleged and orchestrated “enemy” threats, from terrorists, for example.

Does this mean terrorism is conjured up by puppetmasters pulling strings from behind the scenes? On a recent visit to the U.N., Pope Benedict notably commented that the majority should not allow a minority to determine the course of human events.
