8. The corps have the power...PTB....
all of the "elected" officials are the puppets or maybe the slaves of the PTB. Of course, those politicians who will sell their souls for money are slaves to their own greed and lust for power. Unfortunately, the pols do not understand that the PTB will not let them become part of the club; they will forever be part of the servant class, a higher class of servant but servants, nonetheless.
