If you want to know who really controls the US government, you simply have to look at all of the positions supported by both candidates, which include printing massive amounts of money and giving it to the wealthy ("stimulus"), restricting the freedoms of the common folk ("lockdowns are necessary due to scary viruses"), construction of a new hybrid slave race/culture aka the Kalergi Plan ("multiculturalism", "Critical race theory"), massive surveillance ("5G", "Siri"), and of course support for Israel ("don't worry about a few human rights violations here and there, Israel are our key allies!"). Strangely, these are the same policies pursued by all governments world wide, almost as if they were executing a coordinated plan.

The Jakob Blakes and Kyle Rittenhouses of the world are totally irrelevant, a theater to distract the common folk from the real problems and convince them to give up their civil liberties. Of course, the common folk are the common folk precisely because they are incapable of understanding who their real enemies are under this barrage of propaganda. And so the world lurches onward . . .

there's no need to be so mysterious about it. the plan is called "imperialism" and it's been on display at your local library for over a century.

Economically, the main thing in this process is the displacement of capitalist free competition by capitalist monopoly. Free competition is the basic feature of capitalism, and of commodity production generally; monopoly is the exact opposite of free competition, but we have seen the latter being transformed into monopoly before our eyes, creating large-scale industry and forcing out small industry, replacing large-scale by still larger-scale industry, and carrying concentration of production and capital to the point where out of it has grown and is growing monopoly: cartels, syndicates and trusts, and merging with them, the capital of a dozen or so banks, which manipulate thousands of millions. At the same time the monopolies, which have grown out of free competition, do not eliminate the latter, but exist above it and alongside it, and thereby give rise to a number of very acute, intense antagonisms, frictions and conflicts. Monopoly is the transition from capitalism to a higher system.
