Asses. And what is an Ass? A dumb beast of burden which labors for someone else. For over a decade my principle theme which I have repeatedly written upon at LRC has been power elite analysis (sometimes described as libertarian class theory or Establishment studies).
An understanding of power elite analysis is the “litmus test” separating real libertarians from alternative lifestyle dilettantes dabbling in free market theory. This examination of causal relationships regarding the nature and scope of political power, who has it and how it is exercised,is crucial to understanding the State as organized crime.
The similarity between this analysis and what researcher Peter Dale Scott calls “Deep Politics,” the critical examination of the sub-rosa reality behind surface events, are both attempts to unmask the true face of power, exposing the elite social, economic, and financial groups and individuals who benefit from the exercise of State coercion.
If one doubts that this is the central and most crucial issue which we face today, the people versus the deep state, take a good hard look at this article published in one of the principal foreign policy organs of the elite, It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses. The elite has arrogantly thrown down the gauntlet. It is time to decide once and for all — which side are you on!
