On what basis do you characterize HTS as terrorists? Sincere question. And by the way, al-Qaeda is not an entity that exists but a figment of over active imaginations.

Al-Qaeda is a MOSSAD False Flag!

"Why are the billionaire controlling owners of these corporations, instead of their employees, being targeted by such Americans as these? It is sheer stupidity. It is anger misdirected."

I don't know that's it is merely stupidity; but I agree that it is misdirected anger.

In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, the controllers created "right wing radio" with personalities like Rush Limbaugh. The aim of this propaganda drive was to draw in and anger displaced "steel belt," blue-collar American workers whose jobs had been shipped overseas, and blame the "liberals" before these workers caught on to who was really exporting their jobs via changes in "trade" and legislation.

This is a clear example of the "Divide and Conquer" strategy. It deflected attention away from the parasite class and their ownership of the steel industry (as well as other major U.S. production businesses), and transferred it to the "Liberals" as the reason these workers were being economically choked. The workers, apparently, never blamed the corporate owners, and accepted their P.R.-created identities as "conservatives." This is a clear example of "identity politics."

We are 30+ years further along, and the "left" has been manipulated in public opinion as the bad guys of today, with values that many persons who used to identify as left no longer recognize. We live under a vicious monopolistic economic system with Blackrock and its owner, Vanguard, at the helm controlling nearly every publicly-traded stock in all major markets. Deflecting the blame is key to obfuscating the true source of brutality inflicted upon all living people and creatures of the planet.

Natalie, your comment is, in my opinion, a superb article-in-itself, and I happen to agree with all of it, which wouldn't make it superb in my opinion if it contained anything that I don't already know to be true, but if a reader DOESN'T already know it to be true, then you might expand it into a full article or else add to your comment links to the sources on each of its major contentious points. The first of those that comes into my mind is your "vicious monopolistic economic system with Blackrock and its owner, Vanguard, at the helm controlling nearly every publicly-traded stock in all major markets." I have tried in the past to find access to identification of the specific individuals controlling those two companies and also State Street Bank & Trust Company, but failed. If you did not, then PLEASE lay that information out here, or else do a real article on it..

Hi Eric - I certainly did not mean to hog space on your Substack and I apologize.

Your title is one that caught my attention and I was, frankly, delighted to see it! It is a point that has bugged me for years ... why are most Americans unaware of the oligarchy that controls us?

I am familiar with your writings at Global Research and have always enjoyed your ability to tell the truth. I also know you would be acutely aware of the entirety of the decades-long propaganda used to hide the culpability of those at the top of the financial pyramid.

When it comes to Blackrock and Vanguard (and State Street), I do not know any details and I am not very clever. You are way ahead of me in the Brains Dept. I read Ellen Brown's July 2020 article on Blackrock. I saw a video in Aug 2021 about "The Puppetmasters–Who Owns the World?" Using the tool that they used in the video — finance.yahoo.com — I did a few hours of research of public companies viewing the "holders," New York Stock Exchange only. Categories of companies included Investment, MIC, Banks, Pharma, Big Ag, News, Media, Big Tech, Food, Transportation, etc. Almost all showed Vanguard and Blackrock in either the number one or number two spots. That convinced me that V and BR own everything. And current legislation allows them to do so.

I'm not in any position to write an entire article. Ha! I can barely get my Christmas letter written. But I appreciate your insight and feedback and will be happy to edit/shorten my comments, if you would prefer.

Natalie, you write very well and there is no reason why you should shorten it. You certainly don't "hog space."

An interesting article. I am not sure where to even begin. Noam Chomsky was obsessed with Corporations, and, all the evil that they do!
