Triumph Of The Hit Men

A few days ago I submitted a proposed guest op-ed to the Austin American-Statesman newspaper about the unnamed conspirators behind the Texas blackout. They did not publish it:

This morning I found this essay by Professor James K. Galbraith of UT-Austin which more or less discusses the same topic, although in greater detail:

A major difference between his op-ed and mine is that he also does not name those conspirators - Congress, Wall Street, and the climate change industry. Instead Galbraith blames the whole debacle on "the system", allowing US economic hit men to once again escape any blame for what has happened and will continue to happen as long as their "system" remains in control.

The imminent perils of what their system may now be planning may best be described by this essay which compares our brain-dead president to Boris Yeltsin of Russia:

In Yeltsin’s case, a new class of oligarchs arose during his first term, only to take complete control of the country during his second. They stripped Russia of its natural wealth and prized state assets with his assistance. The middle and lower classes were impoverished as the oligarchy amassed wealth that was unprecedented in Russian history.  Does anyone seriously believe that the Biden regime will do anything at all to rein in Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, or Jack Dorsey?  Of course not, as each of them played key roles in putting Joe Biden into office, just as Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky saved the 1996 Russian Presidential Election for Yeltsin.  They owned him and were greatly rewarded for their service to their President, just as the US oligarchy will be rewarded with protection from anti-trust actions and cheap foreign labor.

As the Green New Deal and other "great reset" initiatives do their dirty work on the US economy and social fabric, we must ask who is going to profit from all this upheaval and reinvention. The real triumph of the hit men is their ability to hide namelessly in the shadows while blaming the resulting chaos on forces allegedly beyond their control.

Don't you believe it. People who wield that kind of power do not leave such things to chance. They know what they're doing, they do have a plan, and if We the People don't actually benefit from it that's what they intended all along.

That's what economic hit men do.
