Shadow Elite

Governments and administrations come and go, but not so a new breed of power brokers, who always seem to pop up just where the action is. Wearing different hats, they press their agendas in venue after venue. According to award-winning public policy scholar and anthropologist Janine Wedel, these are the "shadow elite," the prime movers in a vexing new system of power and influence.

In Shadow Elite Wedel charts how these players make public decisions without public input-in realms from domestic to foreign and financial policy. Maneuvering through their many spheres of influence, they challenge both governments' rules of accountability and businesses' codes of competition, ultimately answering only to each other. From the Harvard economists who helped privatize post-Soviet Russia and the neoconservatives who helped privatize American foreign policy for thirty years (culminating with the debacle that is Iraq) to many lesser-known global operators, these players flout once-sacrosanct boundaries between state and private, bureaucracy and market. This new breed, unseen by most, is steadily gaining power.

watching the 911 10 yr anniversary rhetoric recently re-affirmed to me that the world elites have done one knock out job of brainwashing the u.s.populace, just an outstanding job. Since the rothschild papa and sons strategically set up house to create usury worldwide,hence forth have controlled the u.s.economy,oil prices,interest rates,money supply et al....all while we SALUTE OURSELVES AT THE 911 ANNIV INTO ANOTHER COMMON GRAVE

Flexians. lol.

not a 'new system' of power. but she does know how to sell it.

imho, when asked, she evades naming specific shadowy flexians with the skill of a politician and feigns ignorance answering certain questions 'cause she wants to stay on the dinner party circuits. more lol.

observable in all civilizations:

predatory love of currency, land and trade

one gets the justice one pays for

atrocious behaviour resides above the law.

rots the human condition.

This is not a secret to a lot of Americans. In fact, it's wonderful to finally see that some people with brains see this going on too. Why do you think so many are fighting todays system of government?

While those that "know" what is going on, the "Brains" in this country are just finding out!!!! and........................

Those that have known, are being called traitors. YOU brainers, start shouting this around, maybe someone will listen to YOU! Maybe you won't be called DUMMIES, or traitors
