Reagan: "Government is the Problem"!!
Reagan said: and we, foolishly, believed it! Republicans treat that statement as one of their catechisms!!
Organized Crime, the World over, fears the Power strong Government . In the early days of JIM CROW, Leland Stanford, and other Tycoons of that day were "reigned in" by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. That Law is still on the Books, but Republicans, since Reagan, have treated it like "excess Regulation". We've experienced the Housing Implosion, and the Great Recession, as a result??
Since 1890, Organized Crime has steadily encroached upon Government; succeeding in co-opting J. Edgar Hoover; who used his Power to intimidate Jim Crow Presidents. LBJ and Nixon bowed to his Power; President Kennedy, and his brother, the Attorney General, did not! Today,having thoroughly corrupted the Republican Party, TRUMP is poised to grab the Oval Office, as his Prize??
In a recent BBC Interview, Mikhail Khodorkovsky characterized Putin's Russia as a criminal syndicate posing as a Government. http://www.financialnews.fyi/mainstream-networks/bbc/mikhail-khodorkovsky-in-russian-full-interview-on-putin-russia-elections-bbc-newsnight/
We see Smugglers; who are controlled by Organized Crime in Southern Italy; sending Immigrants who are fleeing Syria, to their death at Sea! In the Past, these Criminal Organizations had to use Banks (like the Vatican Bank) to "launder" their dirty MONEY. No Longer! -- they can set up their OWN Banks.
Globalization is an answer to their Prayers, evidently. These Organizations can now proliferate, as they pose as "small businesses" that are being treated unfairly by Governments. Too many of us are too stupid and/or too scared to insist that Government use its Power to halt their rise.
Stay Vigilant! Religions have no monopoly on Violent and Murderous activities! If we flock to Criminals in search of safety, we can bet that won't work out too well -- for anybody! Globalization is weakening and collapsing Governments in all parts of the World!!
