Semantics Continued
December 30, 2025
Writes Bill Madden:
The words and video below in the first paragraph were launched prematurely so I’ll continue the thought beginning with the second paragraph in order for the subject to make sense. Words have meaning but they only convey the correct meaning if they are used correctly. We all tend to mislead others inadvertently with the use of improper terminology. For example, it seems that most of us have a different understanding of the Deep State.
Video discusses our super-rich ruling class and how most politicians are accountable only to their financial benefactors with virtually no time for their constituents. Politicians are only a segment of our population receiving money from our controllers to, in essence, work against the country instead of for the country.
Traditionally, the American ruling class has been referred to as the “establishment” and it is sometimes capitalized. Less used has been “establishment minions” referring to leaders of all types such as corporate management, politicians, educators, clergy, union officers, foundation leaders and many others. These leaders help augment the brainwashing that we receive from the mainstream media.
Andrew Wallace refers to the establishment as the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC). Establishment members fund the establishment minions to, in effect, facilitate the transfer of wealth from the people to the establishment members. An example would be the “influencing” of politicians to disregard the Constitution when managing the country. This increases the volume of fiat currency in the economy which increases the flow of fiat currency to Corporate America which is mostly owned by establishment members here in tax-free foundations or offshore in tax havens like Switzerland.
The video refers to politicians as “servants” or “slaves”. Both of these classes are normally filled with very poor, untalented humans existing in poverty more than living a normal life. A small percentage of waiters, of course, do very well and field-testing President Trump’s “no taxes on tips” has provided many years of additional income. Politicians have charisma and most have good educations. They have the talent of convincing you that, as our country circles the drain financially, it is not their fault. Most politicians enter office with little savings and accumulate fortunes while living like feudal monarchs. They are more like high-priced prostitutes than servants or slaves in every way including the performance of immoral actions for personal gain.
Lastly, corporations are not our problem. The problems are created by the one or two super-rich families controlling the corporation by owning major equity positions. The corporation is a cash cow which provides funds for any purpose the family in control chooses including political contributions. The establishment decides on politicians to support and funds important primary elections with huge donations. We then vote on one of their two candidates in the general elections. So, corporations are not greedy but many of the controlling owners are.
