blue bits. red rocks.
Sunday 7 February 2010

For a while, a single country dominated: the United States. That is now ending. The planet’s geopolitics have changed. We have entered a time of realignment not unlike the one that occurred when city-states joined together to form nations. Except this time it is global; nations are becoming less relevant. The emerging rulers are not presidents, dictators, government officials, or politicians. The rulers are corporate CEOs, members of the corporatocracy. Like huge clouds swirling the globe, their conglomerates reach every continent, country, and village. They are unrestricted by national borders or any particular sets of law. Although many are headquartered in the United States and call upon the U.S. military to protect their interests, they feel no sense of loyalty to any one country. John Perkins
