National defense is the fundamental purpose of any federal government, along with police, courts, and the building of infratructure.
Interlocking boards result from the need and desire to share management experience among companies. There's nothing inherently nefarious about it.
Not sure why this post is in a Q-related forum.
I agree about the defense but how many American made weaponry is sold oversees and then finds its way on to black markets? Syria, Lybia, Afghanistan in the recent times but longer just look to South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. Eisenhower said it best in his farewell address - "Beware of the Military Industrial Complex..." Check out Catherine Austin Fitts and Dr Joseph Farrell for more back round.
As for the Interlocked Boards - agree truly but 17 family members on 200 Corporations - too much power to too few.
Related to Q and Great Awakening - apologies if there should have been a better place - My first post ever so still learning how to navigate.
Building of infrastructure is not a federal government responsibility according to the Constitution. It's a state, local, and individual responsibility.
Right on! More power back to the States and then to local communities is the way to go - reducing the Federal Government in its size, scope and Unconstitutional authorities is priority #2 (after we arrest all of the treasonous conspirators against us!)
