It is not that the government is blackmailed by criminal organizations or intelligence agencies
It is not that intelligence agencies and criminal organizations control the government
Portions of them are all the same entity and different people or groups of people are trying to control the chessboard and levers of power
But the levers of power are losing their grip on society
New power bases are being established right under their nose
While they fight for scraps of a dying carcass, the future is being built, one that will reshape the next age of humanity
