I believe the "government" is simply a tool of organized crime behind banking and central banking. The criminals use government to impose monopoly money and fractional reserve banking on the population which gives the banks the ability to create money out of thin air. The banks use this unlimited money to buy up and consolidate industry providing a handful of cartel companies (Most, but not all, of the Fortune 100/500) unlimited capital to buy up and consolidate their own industries. They will leave 2-3 companies in each industry to give the illusion of choice and competition: Wal-Mart and Target, Dicks and Sports Authority, Coke and Pepsi, AT&T and Verizon, Staples and Office Depot, Republicans and Democrats. The problem is organized crime bankers at the top. Take a look at the Network of Global Control in our flash drive of Freedom: The Liberator and you will see that the #1 bank with the most control of global corporate assets is Barclays which makes sense since central banking/fractional reserve banking got its 1st major modern toe hold in the UK with the Bank of England so they have had more time to buy up the world with their little paper fiat tickets.
