"I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half." [View all]

After hiring a mob of thugs as strikebreakers, 19th Century railroad tycoon Jay Gould said "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half." In this one moment of rare candor, Mr. Gould exposes the inexorable Grand Game Plan of the super-rich 01% of the world's population.

There it is. Plane. And. Simple. No frills. No pretenses.

This comment affords us a stark glimpse into the darkly insidious mindset of heartless greed, whose relentless lust for ever-more riches is incrementally lock-stepping our so-called "civilization" toward massive "depopulation", complete economic meltdown, cataclysmic climate change events, increasingly frequent false-flag "attacks", neo-feudal corporate capitalism run amok to the brink of self-annihilation, much of it under the guise of "counter-terrorism".

* Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States.

* An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances.

* In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2001. Together they occupy the equivalent of almost three Pentagons or 22 U.S. Capitol buildings - about 17 million square feet of space.

* Many security and intelligence agencies do the same work, creating redundancy and waste. For example, 51 federal organizations and military commands, operating in 15 U.S. cities, track the flow of money to and from terrorist networks.

* Analysts who make sense of documents and conversations obtained by foreign and domestic spying share their judgment by publishing 50,000 intelligence reports each year - a volume so large that many are routinely ignored.

Make no mistake, there is an uber-rich "break-away" bunch of "insiders" operating in and through our "shadow government", to implement Mr. Gould's end game. The sooner we all wake up to this unpleasant fact, the more chance we have (narrow though it may be) to somehow derail this run-away corporate train to Hell on earth.
