More on Maybury.....

We concur that the elites are "birds of feather" and pretty much are on the same wavelength. Normally, they disagree only on implementation of policy when it comes to ruling the world.

Unfortunately, the Empire's enemies will have to kill you and I to get to them and it's probably safe to say it's only a matter of time. 


Richard Maybury on the Collapse of the Anglo-American Empire and What It Means for You

Richard Maybury: Yes but I might not agree as strongly as others. The way I see it is birds of a feather flock together and rich people are always going to hang around with rich people and they are going to do deals with each other. They are going to try to manipulate events to their own advantage. As far as I know, it's always been so. To what extent are they successful at manipulating events to their advantage? I think in some cases very successful and other cases they fall flat on their faces. The way I see these groups operating is that there's not any central conspiracy, but there are task forces. Rich and powerful people will get together and form a task force to get something done. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't. After that enterprise is over with, it breaks up. Members go their separate ways and then down the road more of these people form another task force and they find some other scheme.

As long as we have large powerful governments this is a wonderful convenience for these people because all they have to do is get control of a large powerful government and they use this as a tool to get what they want. The solution to the whole thing is to eliminate as much political power as you can so they aren't presented with these tools to use on us. I do not regard the groups of the elite as the problem; I regard the political power as the problem. If you eliminate most of the power then you are de-fanging these groups and they are left to flounder and probably can't do anywhere near as much damage to us as they can with all this power available to them.

Daily Bell: We think the Internet has compromised this elite's secrecy. Agree?

Richard Maybury: Everybody's secrecy has been compromised by the Internet! (Laughing). The age of privacy is over with and that's privacy for the elites, government and everyone else. That's the significance of Wikilieaks. In fact, in my February issue of Early Warning Report there's an article about that. I think Wikileaks is the beginning of what will turn out to be the biggest political development in a thousand years. Or say for the next thousand years. Pretty soon it will be impossible for governments to operate in secrecy and once everybody knows what every government is doing it's going to be a different world.

Daily Bell: We think the Internet has turned into a real force for freedom and political fragmentation – which we consider good. Comments?

Richard Maybury: I absolutely agree. Anything that puts light on what the political elite is doing is a good thing. That's why the American founders were so much in favor of a free press and why America is famous for having the most free press in the whole world The founders understood that government can't really hurt us too badly if we know what they are doing. There is no tool more important to a power junkie than secrecy. So yes, absolutely, the Internet is one of the greatest things ever to come along for that reason.
