Is there a global "establishment"?
quote:
The establishment includes politicians who make laws; media barons who set the terms of debate; businesses and financiers who run the economy; police forces that enforce a law that is rigged in favour of the powerful. The establishment is where these interests and worlds intersect, either consciously or unconsciously.
Since those groups (corrupted, powerful peeps) do exist throughout the world, and their interests do connect unconsciously (whatever that means...), the answer to this question seems to be an easy "yes."
...if so what is the consequence of that?
Could range from "nothing" to "dire."
Depending on how consciously they are connected and how much you, personally, are in their way.
Or, at least, that's what the voices that get through my tinfoil hat are saying
