THE NEW FEUDALISM

Back in 1981 the new nobility was preparing to enslave us…

A Texas-based company called Oil Field Security Consultants recently notified potential corporate clients that it had its "own SWAT team of professionals who can be deployed on location to anywhere in the world within 24 hours." Another company, based in London, wired the major U.S. oil companies that "we stand ready… [as] a last resort… [to] conduct 'search and destroy' missions," against those who would harm company property, lives, or operations.
Is Neo-Feudalism the New Nation-State?

European federalists???? Hmmm…
Everywhere you look, the nation-state seems to be stumbling badly. In developing countries such as Somalia, Iraq, Syria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, internal order has broken down, as governments have lost touch with political realities on the ground. Even in the supposedly well-governed developed world, the nation-state seems to be showing its age, as evidenced by a string of financial crises stretching from Wall Street to the eurozone, as well as by the calamity of the United States’ adventurism in Iraq.
Simultaneously, humanity is facing increasingly global challenges for which the concept of the nation-state is ill-equipped to provide solutions even via existing multinational institutions. These challenges are as broad as religious confrontation, global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, global warming, international immigration, pandemics and economic inequality in the West caused by an increasingly global labour market.
Cue the ongoing international populist explosion – driven by economic slowdown and certainly fuelled by a sensationalist press – in which voters are rejecting traditional political leaders in favour of outsiders who delight in disrespecting and discrediting established institutions of the nation-state. A self-feeding frenzy between the new political elites, the media and the people has been initiated and is starting to devour the structure of the very nation-state to which a free press was so essential in the past.
Contrary to the fevered imaginings of European federalists, however, the nation-state cannot simply be wished away as an annoying anachronism of a bygone age.
The New Feudalism: Managerial Oligarchy

Abstract
The growing affluence in the first decades of the post-war era provided employers and the middle class with enough financial reserves not to be fearful of the worst, and gave workers the feeling that they were sufficiently protected by Labour Unions, social legislation, and their power at the ballot box not to be inordinately concerned about their future. Before long the “dual mechanism” driving force began to weaken; greed was taking the place of fear and complicity the place of solidarity. But greed is not like fear, it is a different kind of fuel, and when the ownership of means of production becomes divorced from their management it affects the economic mechanisms in another way.

Do people really believe the biggest scandal in modern US history will go unpunished [Scot-Free]?
[Scot-Free] ???
Why capitals? San Francisco might be intended, but I can't think of anything in SF that would be the biggest scandal.
But what if there is a missing T?
Scott-Free Productions makes movies…

There is a long list on Wikipedia. One of their movies is Killing Kennedy but maybe there is another one even bigger? They certainly do seem to make films which unveil the evil of the Cabal.
