Since everybody started waking up, I’d say since Trump ran in 2016 and throughout all the nonsense that followed and continues to this day, the word “oligarchs” has become very common, as well as the terms “deep state”, “military industrial complex”, etc. But who are these oligarchs? The answer is simple and staring us right in the face. It’s the British Empire!
Why wouldn’t it be? After all the British Empire was the organization we fought our revolutionary war against, to gain the same freedom the oligarchs of today are attempting to take away from us. Is it at all far-fetched to assume they simply continued throughout the centuries, passing down through their decedents, names and forms changing, but the goals remaining the same, i.e. the suppression and control of the masses?
It’s really simple. They just never stopped! After all there are many movements which never stopped. If a very good movement like Christianity never stopped, why couldn’t a very evil movement, like the British empire never stop?
They are part of everything that's going wrong in the world, i.e. central banks (like our Federal Reserve), wars, etc. They control the purse strings and the media of the world so they can keep us in chaos and more easily control us. And what this breaks down to is the American system of economy vs. the British system of economy.
The American system is what we fought for in our American Revolution and is the system the world was rooting for. That’s why so many from Europe and other parts of the world moved to the U.S. They moved here in the first place to break away from the British Empire and the oligarchs of the world and become a part of this new system. And the British system is what the oligarchs (the British Empire) never gave up attempting to impose on us.
Henry Carey, chief economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln wrote a book entitled, “The Harmony of Interest” and he summarized the difference very clearly. What he stressed is that the American system is a system of fair and reciprocal trade utilizing protective tariffs, whereas the British system is a system which is based upon free trade. This is what Adam Smith, for instance, wrote about in his “Wealth of Nations”. The basic idea in respect to the U.S. colonies at the time of the American Revolution was to keep the United States as a raw materials exporter. Manufacturing was outlawed in the colonies and the basic idea was free trade was an ideology used to allow Britain to dump its manufactured goods freely on the US colonies.
This made it impossible for the colonies to develop their own manufacturing because the British could do it at a lower cost than it would cost to develop manufacturing from scratch. So, this is one of the differences regarding free trade versus protectionism. And of course, President Trump is well known, as was Alexander Hamilton, McKinley and Lincoln, for advocating protected tariffs.
