The majority of the people in the United States have no idea that we're living off the benefits of a clandestine empire and that today, there's more slavery in the world than ever before.

And then you have to ask yourself, if it's an empire, then who's the emperor?

Our presidents of the United States are not emperors. An emperor is someone who's not elected, doesn't serve a limited term, and doesn't report to anyone.

So you can't classify a president that way. But we do have what I consider to be the equivalent of the emperor, and it's what I call the corporatocracy

The corporatocracy is this group of individuals who run our biggest corporations, and they really act as the emperors of this empire.

They control our media, either through direct ownership or advertising. They control most of our politicians because they finance their campaigns either through their corporations or through personal contributions that come out of the corporations. They're not elected. They don't serve a limited term. They don't report to anybody. And at the very top of the corporatocracy, you really can't tell whether a person's working for a private corporation or the government because they're always moving back and forth.
