Andrew Gavin Marshall — Global Power Project: Identifying the Institutions of Control


The was posted yesterday at AlterNet and reposted today at Truthout.

The Global Power Project, an investigative series produced by Occupy.com, aims to identify and connect the worldwide institutions and individuals who comprise today's global power oligarchy. In Part 1, which appeared last week, I provided an overview examining who and what constitute the global ruling elite – often referred to as the Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC). In this second part, I will attempt to identify some of the key, dominant institutions that have facilitated and have in turn been supported by the development of this oligarchic class. This is not a study of wealth, but a study of power.

Instead of just studying what our default-rulers are doing ... why aren't we out-ruling them, coincidental to our own, higher tempo activities?

They can't rule us without our complacent consent.

So just stop consenting, and start coordinating the net dissent - so we can redistribute concentrated public fiat.

Distributed fiat is resilient, lean fiat is fragile. If we keep throwing rocks, theirs will break and ours will endure.

should have specified "concentrated fiat"
