When government has a stake in the success of large vested publicly or privately traded corporations there in lies a conflict of interest that can not
be ignored. Government employee pension funds are largely controlled by hedge funds that are heavily invested in the Fortune 500. (Including big banks
and huge defense contractors, chemical companies, energy companies, and big pharma)
This is to say that current American branded corporatism was exactly outlined by Mussolini in his description of Corporatism which was his word for
Fascism.
Between government sponsored big corp bailouts and equity ownership in those same institutions by largely government employee funded hedge funds how
much capital is presently at risk when the government absorbs that risk?
The banking sector equity ownership by these government employee retirement funded hedge funds is very troubling when you consider that it is
government through regulation and enforcement that creates and removes risk from said industrial sectors. We are in a quandary here.
Law makers and all other government employees clearly have a vested interest in the status quo in finance and other big corporations. This type of
corporatism of convenience has become normal in the USA to the point that no one seems to notice just how freaking dangerous this situation is to
liberty, the rule of law, the environment, and basic human dignity. Fairness is out the window.
Companies that could mess with the profits of corporations that the government pension funds are invested in could find themselves regulated out of
existence to defend the government pension hedge fund’s position.
The potential for abuse has no doubt become widely exploited.

This will clue you in if you read through the annual reports for all of the government budgets just how much goes into funds for retirement that are
heavily exposed to institutions that are themselves exposed to these toxic assets.
The power is concentrated for all of these connected to government companies in that 147 companies own controlling interest in 40% of the entire
worlds resources. There are actually even fewer controllers that that when you consider the 4 companies that own most of those 147 entities.

That Control the 147 Companies That Own Everything
I will not detail all of my research on this in one post in this thread because it is going into a book I am coming out with soon. It is clear by my
research that there is a great deal of investment that government employee owned pension funds are exposed to that they are also in a position to
regulate and enforce in favor of or against in their own interest that most of us have never considered.
Americans are turning into a bunch of internet connected newseys that want to know everything so there are more of my peers out there everyday so I
think this new book I am working on will be very well accepted by the public. The government and their buddies in their favorite corporations might
find the ramifications pretty alarming to their cozy corporatist arrangement but the public will eat this up I think.
The alarm bells will be going off here in moments. Thousands of gov/bot sock puppets may descend on this thread as it is monitored by TPTB if it picks
up steam and reveals something very embarrassing in the very near future.
Stay newsey my friends.
