What
characterizes the Anglo-American imperial system is the “abundance of
money” coupled with an extensive military and intelligence apparatus.
Both
conditions complement one another such that ineffective economic
sanctions, for instance, can be compensated by greater military
intervention, and vice versa. In other words, the threat of military
intervention supports economic objectives. Conversely, market
manipulation is often used to destabilize countries, i.e. through
non-military means.
Moreover,
this Anglo-American system requires that its leaders maintain a robust
military-industrial complex to cover up/consolidate their economic and
financial endeavours.
 In
this context, we bring to the attention of our readers a selection of
Global Research articles which reveal how large corporations cover up
political malfeasance abroad by promoting an unsettling system of money
transactions within the realm of British and American politics.
On
the surface, the articles appear to be unrelated, but in reality they
aren’t. If they all have one thing in common, it’s that each article
deals with a political lie that is propagated by the mainstream media.
The
truth is buried under a massive pile of money, thereby allowing big
companies to control the mainstream media, permeate world markets and
impose strategic chaos in selected regions.
After
all, the system is run by that very same financial elite emanating from
Wall Street and the City of London that funds our politicians and
mainstream media outlets. It should therefore come as no surprise that
there is a consensus of opinion today between Washington and London on
such issues as Zionism, Islam, Intervention in the Middle
East, Monsanto, and IMF/World Bank policies.

In
this article, Paul Craig Roberts exposes the Obama administration’s
neoconservative agenda. He believes neoconservatism will either lead us
to a final war by seeking to turn all its opponents into vassals, or to
revolution via the collapse of rigged markets erected by policymakers
for the benefit of the One Percent. Although the author hopes for the
latter, he understands that a final war is near. Indeed, Western
military undertakings, financed by Israeli and military/security complex
money, are closely “coordinated with a process of economic warfare …
with a view to undermining the enemies’ national economies”. Put
differently, the US and its allies obstinately refuse to accept the
sovereignty of countries with economic and foreign policies independent
of the economic interests of Washington.

Kampmark’s
piece on Lawrence Lessig, the Harvard scholar who asserts that laws are
merely being bought and sold, shows that Lessig’s key political
principles of the equal right to vote, equal representation, and
anti-corruption in political campaigns are plausible only if we separate
free speech from the imperative of the wallet. Today, the mainstream
media is run by an intransigent banking elite. As a result, free speech
is reduced to promoting the views of the 1%. Therefore, there is no
market place for ideas, but rather a marketplace for professional
politicians, who are bought and sold by powerful corporate lobbies.

The
British military-industrial complex has links to American plutocrats.
For instance, Michael Milken, a California-based “junk bond king”,
donated $1 million to Tony Blair’s foundation in 2013. Under the banner
of philanthropy, he invested in various Zionist organizations and other
industries that profit from promoting islamophobia, waging war and
creating instability. We have yet to uncover Blair’s role in the illegal
war in Iraq; however, the full range of his current international
networks needs much fuller investigation.

A
UN study shows how a US based real estate corporation that operates in
nearly 100 countries, is violating the Fourth Geneva Convention by
selling homes in illegal settlements within the Israeli-occupied West
Bank at unreasonably high prices. The firm refuses to acknowledge that
many of the agents handling the firm’s property in East Jerusalem and
the wider West Bank are working from offices in West Jerusalem.

A
vast, geopolitically-sanctioned money laundering scheme has made it
such that Housing and Urban Devopment and other US agencies are being
used for drug trafficking and securities fraud. This scheme is backed by
the IMF and the World Bank and allows for at least 85 percent of the
U.S. federal budget – including the so-called “black budget”, an increasingly massive military expenditure subsidized by American taxpayers - to remain unaudited.

Contrary
to claims of biotech advocates, leading Anglo-American scientific
institutions, such as the US National Academy of Sciences, the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, and the UK’s Royal Society,
repeatedly issue misleading statements about GM foods. Such lies are
buried under a pile of money and allow for those same biotech advocates
to permeate world markets and impose strategic chaos in selected
regions.
