(15,771 posts)The best representatives for American International Oligarchy are the GOP paid tools. Not that there is a lack of Oligarchy influence in the Democratic Party to cover all money interests some stylistic variation is tolerated that can at least address some of the needs of the local peasants. No such buffer is allowed the peasants in the foreign oil producing fields. With desperation some American locals and Middle Eastern (fill in the blank) resort to clinging to radical religion and guns. The main difference over there than here so far, a lot more killing has been going on in the oil rich fields making it easier for them to act out their aggression. I am not so certain that the Oligarchs were smart enough to plan this, they appear to me more reactive. This could still spin out of control here in the United States. The GOP is going to continue to make messes and someone will have to clean up the excess damage. We are fortunate enough today that some of those fronting the money such as the Koch's (Energy Tycoon) , Addelson (China gambling and vice king), and Murdoch (Propaganda Minister) have made themselves known. The real super wealthy avoid publicity they probably have well stocked bunkers with an escape plan.
