I received a comment from my nephew Ken about my December 4, post. I'm sorry Ken, but I accidently deleted your comment. My bad. He provided me with the elusive E in S-A-L-U-T-E, it's equipment. He asked if I thought that we had an oligarchy in control of our country. If that's not true, please feel free to correct me, Ken; thanks. He also referred me to Plato's Republic for a discussion of an oligarchy.
Essentially, an oligarchy is a group, basically a committee of people, set up to rule a country.
On the surface we see Congress enacting laws and the President signing or vetoing them as he deems necessary. But, we have to ask, who's calling the shots? Is it the American people or is it another group? Who benefits most from the laws that are being passed? Do the laws protect individual life, liberty and property? Those are the kinds of questions we have to ask. America isn't about the common good; it's about individual freedom. If you're losing your individual liberty (rights); then something is dramatically, drastically, wrong!
Which special interest group, above all others would have the kind of influence to get Congress to pass laws that are contrary to the Constitution and qualify as a committee of 'the ruling class'? There are two that come to mind immediately, The Council of Foreign Relations and The Trilateral Committee. This article by William Blase is an excellent summary of the CFR and its activities. You will have to answer the question for yourself. Is this country run by an oligarchy behind the facade of the American Republic?
Think about it...
