Can We Get Our Country Back?

Paul Craig Roberts

In my younger years as an economist the way conservatives, free market economists, and libertarians approached economic policy and whether it would make us more or less free was in terms of business vs. government. Business wore the white hats, and government wore the black hats.  What wasn’t realized is that government is captured by business and used for its purposes.  Business controls government, not vice versa. This is true at every level–local, state, and federal. In our own time US regulatory agencies are staffed by former executives of the industries that they regulate.

Years ago University of Chicago professor George Stigler, a Nobel Prize winner, showed that government regulation works for the benefit of the regulated industry, because the industry never fails to capture the regulatory agency.

We experienced this during the hoax “Covid pandemic.” Big Pharma  had long ago captured NIH, CDC, and FDA, and people lined up for a “vaccination” that destroyed their immune systems and has resulted in an explosion of rapidly developing cancers and heart attacks in kids.

Consider what President Eisenhower warned us about–the institutionalization  of a powerful domestic lobby group eager to go to war and to have enemies with whom it is necessary to be ready to go to war with an endlessly growing “defense” budget.

 This was brought to mind again by the Florida Wildlife Federation’s current effort to mobilize its many members to protect the Florida panther, a version of the cougar or mountain lion, whose numbers are reduced to 250, from development of Florida’s few remaining wild lands.  .........more..........
