There are three major tools used by the shadow government or corporate controllers that gives them their power. Our election system, allowing lobbying of congress, and Fear.

As long as the U.S requires elected officials to pay for their own campaigns they will be under strong influence, by moneyed interests, to be biased toward those interests. At the very least a system needs to be put together, which is paid for by the government and that creates a level playing field for all candidates. For example, a series of TV debates and town hall meetings paid for by the government. There are also radical new systems being worked on that were not possible for our founding fathers. The new system of government would not be centralized as it is today but government by a computer system that calls in groups of experts as they are needed for different problems.  Just how this would work is still being examined, but the point here is that our present system gives the shadow government great power over our government.

The right to lobby is the same problem. Where it does seem like a basic right to allow citizens to lobby their elected officers, the influence is disproportionately biased in favor of big money interests. In today’s world if a government official wants to know what the people think an internet poll could give him that information.

But the most powerful tool used by the shadow government to get their way is fear, and this is what 9/11 was all about. And boy did it work, from watering down our civil liberties to allowing the president to unilaterally attack another country just because he made a weak case that they were a perceived threat. If every country went around attacking other countries just because they “appeared” to be a threat the world would be in even more chaos than it is now.  

But the underlying reason for our vulnerability to corporate control of the world is our present worldview. As long as we have the view, that it is “Me against the world,” fear is going to dominate our lives, we are going to be more consumer oriented, and the corporate controllers are going to get their way. When our worldview shifts from the mechanical one we have now, to the understanding that we are a spiritual being having a physical experience, we will lose our fear. When we understand that it is relationships, and creativity that makes us happy and not things, we will have a new world free of the fear the corporations use to control us.

In other words as long as our needs come from outside of us, as opposed to from with-in, we are going to be controlled by others.
