America’s Ruling Classes: No Fear, No Caution, No Prudence<\/a><\/h3>\n

Could it be that America’s ruling classes, its Imperial state and the Federal Reserve, no longer rule their own destiny?<\/i><\/p>\n

America’s smug ruling classes are supremely confident:<\/b>\u00a0they feel no fear, no caution, and exhibit no prudence.<\/p>\n

I outlined the five ruling classes in\u00a0America’s Nine Classes: The New Class Hierarchy<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Deep State is confident that its Imperial toady Hillary Clinton will win the election, beating the Upstart Crow,<\/b>\u00a0paving a smooth path to unhindered Imperial entanglements around the world. Hillary never saw an Imperial entanglement she didn’t like, and her track record of abysmal failure doesn’t faze her.<\/p>\n

The Obama Administration, from the president on down, are confident their thin legacy will remain untarnished, and will provide them a cash-out in the tens of millions in book advances, speaking fees, and all the other rewards that flow to those who served the Financial Oligarchy and the Deep State.<\/p>\n

The Financial Oligarchy is also supremely confident.<\/b>\u00a0Obama’s complete surrender to the Oligarchy in 2009 enabled a vast expansion of their wealth and power, and Goldman Sachs Hillary stands ready to do her masters’ bidding.<\/p>\n

The New Nobility (everyone between the .001% and the .05%) is also confident<\/b>\u00a0that the Federal Reserve will continue inflating their private wealth by whatever means are necessary–up to and including expropriation of middle class savings via\u00a0zero interest rate policy<\/i>\u00a0and other financial tyranny.<\/p>\n

The Upper Caste of technocrats that have skimmed billions in government contracts and stock options in Silicon Valley’s Unicorn era are also supremely confident:<\/b>\u00a0thanks to the Federal Reserve, they can borrow money for essentially zero interest and use the free money to buy back millions of shares, boosting their own private wealth immensely.<\/p>\n
