My Commentary: In my view, this illustration represents the old model, and the dynamic has since shifted, as all “king of the hill” models of death usually do, since the “Sword of Damacles” is ever present.

At this point, the Banksters are on the very top, the Corporatists/Statesman are right underneath them, followed by the Soulless Straw-Man State/Corporations after that – to fully buffer liability of the criminals above, then, we have the Professionals/Experts below that, followed by the Mainstream Media Monopoly. The State Violence class is second to last – to protect all criminal enterprises above through force and elimination of competition, and finally, at the very bottom, we have the Individual, holding the entire pyramid scheme above water, through our very own lives and labors to the collective hive mound… Trickle-down Tyranny, in full effect… This is the current religion of Violence and Death-Worship.

My Commentary: Your moral inferiors *ahem*, your millionaire mummies *cough*, your “leaders” know EXACTLY how to run your lives… right into the ground! Have a “safe” day!

My Commentary: Corporate capitalism, much like socialism and communism, presents itself as ideal in THEORY, only. Yet, in practice, all three take on the SAME EXACT SHAPE: a giant, murderous PYRAMID SCHEME! Reject the violent, coercive religion of collective government!
