Essentially this is history behind history, back room style. The problem is that,for usa press, politicians, as I understood from Ulfkotte it is illegal to belong to an organization which undrmines or goes against usa govt., a secret lodge with loyalties over and above usa, only beholden to itself. This is the situation. Many discussed situation post 9/11 as a 'putsch'with patriot act,etc. but I think that the govt. , if it ever really existed, is just a fig leaf for a few trillionaire families who pull the strings using banks, military industrial complex, bought up press, cia, nsa, NGOs, etc. globally.
