“There are slightly differing factions and agendas within the U.S. led global oligarchy, and those can manifest as some backing one tentacle over the other in various intermittent puppet shows. And yet what all oligarchs have in common is the need to maintain the same basic status quo upon which their wealth has been acquired and their respective kingdoms have been built, which means that while there might be some apparent sectarian power struggles at the top, none of them are going to improve upon the oppressive, exploitative, Orwellian, imperialist system that is crushing ordinaryhuman beings to death every single day. So, at least as far as the masses are concerned, all we’re ever looking at is a giant bully commanding us to beg him to punch us with his left fist, otherwise he’ll punch us even harder with his right.” ~ via Caitlin Johnstone3
“The conspiracy everyone should actually be paying attention to is their own enforced poverty, suffering and death. But thanks to the manufacturing of an abysmal education system and a well-oiled corporate media machine,most Americans’ heads are too far up their own asses to haveany idea who their real enemies are.” ~ Joman“I don't want to abolish corrupted government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the tub.” ~ via Grover Norquist\"The problems we are facing in the world today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them in the first place.\" ~ via Albert Einstein4
An Introduction to what Follows…Oligarchy can be best defined as “a government or political infrastructure that is controlled by an elite few who rule over a suborned majority”, and an oligarchy is indeed the best description available* for the current political/economic system under which the vast majority of us live, and unfortunately under which the vast majority of us suffer. While not necessarily capitalist by nature, our current oligarchy has indeed fed well and fully on the capitalist economy that still spans the globe. And while not at all innately religious or racist, our currently entrenched oligarchy has indeed been commandeered by Christian and white nationalists alike to ensconce themselves in places of havoc-wreaking power throughout our world. It is this same systemic evil that this tome (and its potential successors) seeks toexpose and illuminate, not to inspire you the reader to dismantle the same (for indeed,once firmly established, there is no force – external or internal – that can hope to tear it asunder), but rather intends and hopes to inspire you to take the requisite measures to ensure the safety of yourselves and your loved ones, if not the continued viability of your own community. Oligarchies are powerfully wicked, no doubt, and they by nature inflict enormous harm on almost everyone over which they rule. And yet oligarchies are for that same reason highly unstable and abjectly unsustainable systems. Indeed, they are all doomed to devolve to a point where they stop oppressing systems abroad and begin cannibalizing themselves from within. Such an End's beginning was first noticed by yours truly back in 2016 (though that End's commencement was admittedly noticed by many others long before then), and the same has now progressed to the point where the self-immolation of The Oligarchy can already be seen glimmering on not so far horizon. It is unclear whetherwe have 10 years left or a 100 until that beautiful collapse comes to be, and yet the time is indeed now for as many of us as possible to not only awaken to The Oligarchy's presence, but to start actively preparing to survive (if not thrive) both during and after its imminent demise.Amen … Let it be so. Scaughdt (December 2025)*Back in 2013, political scientists Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin Page of Northwestern University took an extraordinary 30-year data set and a small army of researchers and set out to determine whether America could still credibly call itself a democracy. As case studies, they used 1,800 policy proposals, tracking how they each made their way through the political system and whose interests were served by their respective outcomes. For those still believing in the viability of an American democracy, the results were devastating. Political outcomes overwhelmingly favored very wealthy people, corporations, and large business groups. The influence of ordinary citizens, meanwhile, was at a “nonsignificant, near-zero level.” America, they concluded, was not a democracy at all, but had become an oligarchy..5
“Imagine I went around claiming that the moon was the one true god, and that I was the only one who recognized it and was now theworld's unquestioned leader. Almost everyone would shake their heads and laugh. For they could easily test the validity of my claims, and would instantly recognize the self-serving nature of the same. And yet when a government brazenly offers that it exists to protect you and your freedom, or a corporation intentionally cultivates an image that it's changing the world not for profit but for peace, or an NGO states that its job is not to ensconce power but to end poverty, or a religion professes to exist only to enlighten and uplift the people, most of us just nod our heads and take their words for granted without questioning a thing.” ~ unknown6
