It is the politicians who are in charge.
What is strange is that no single politician has emerged to take control as Hitler did in Weimar Germany.
There is a massive vacuum at the top. Someone will step into it eventually.
As an aside, there is a huge vacuum of leadership on our side as well. And it looks like Trump is the only one who can fill that vacuum (which is why the Left is going after him with all the strength they can muster).
I am going to have to differ with you on this. Follow the money. Politicians go into office with only marginal holdings, many are about broke because they spent most of their personal assets on their own campaigns to get elected. But within a year they are multimillionaires, withing five years they are Billionaires. They did not get that way from the wages paid by taxpayers to hold office.
There is a source of this under the table income, they are on someone’s payroll to do someone’s bidding. They work for the Global Corporations who dictate their actions and decisions. They are not the brains, they are too incompetent and inept. They are just place card figure head puppets and Global Corporations are pulling their strings.
