With the economic downturn that began in the late 1960's and early 70's having now caught up with working people around the globe, we can feel the bad times more than our parents did. In Europe and North America, wealth was spread spuriously to keep working people fooled into contentment with an economic abundance. This was fueled by post WWII reconstruction.

It came to a halt in the 1960's, sparking that the wealthiest of the rich and their henchmen would re-double efforts to safeguard profit-making. They infiltrated even more deeply to influence institutions of government around the globe.

To that end in the early 1970s the Tri-lateral Commission was formed by the likes of David Rockefeller of Rockefeller fortune fame, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Breszinski and others. They united the richest people on Earth and their political henchmen in Europe, Japan and North America to instigate institutional polices perpetuating profits for the long haul. (The Trilateral Commission is briefly explained here: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Trilateral_Commission.)

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union ...
... in the early 1990's the New World Order envisioned by this group has gone into high gear. Locking in the hegemony of the elite as the rulers of a one world government sounds outlandish. Yet through free trade agreements and the World Trade Organization the agenda is picking up steam. Politicians bought by campaign contributions, groomed by handlers and committed to their agenda are the only ones given a chance at reaching powerful office.

The Free Trade Agreements are creating a de facto new form of government. National constitutions of signatory states are over-ridden as are other laws and mercantilist law on behalf of profit-making reigns supreme. This government corruption, in which corporate profits are priority above public interest, has become the dominant rule. Here is one precedent in the Canadian Courts to prioritize profits over people: http://www.pej.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3064&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0.

In today's world political power in North America and much of Europe is simply bought and sold. The highest bidder takes all. This is certainly not lost on U.S. President Barak Obama who won office with nearly $15 million from Wall Street as part of his $750 million raised fro the 2008 election. Although Obama has recently handed harsh words to brokerage firms his economic Cabinet bulges with boys from these same companies and the private banks of the Federal Reserve.

Big executives from bailout beneficiaries had advanced tickets to Obama's late October fundraising event in New York. Bloomberg News reported on October, 20, 2009 that, President Barack Obama will host a $30,400-per couple fundraiser in New York City tonight, seeking donations from the financial services industry that he has criticized and said needs more regulation.

As long as political systems are run on money, detaining the decline of corrupt policy making for financial interests is impossible. As of writing, it appears that things were in fact expected to get even worse rather than better. A ruling pending from the Supreme Court is expected to take steps toward the removal all limits on corporate contributions.

In the fall of 2009, the highest court in the United States listened to arguments in Citizens United v. the Federal Elections Commission, in which a lobby group sued over limits placed on campaign ads smearing smeared Hilary Clinton in the 2008 elections. The Court is expected to remove at least some of the bans on advocacy and lobbying spending currently in place.

An attorney at the non-profit Campaign Legal Center, Paul Ryan, commented that, "The average person should be concerned that a Court decision striking down the ban on business corporation political expenditures will result in a flood of corporate money into the electoral arena that will drown the average person's political speech."

If you think government corruption in the United States is bad now wait and see what happens when the Supreme Court gets through with it.
