For lack of better terms, there are "CIA Corporations" and "CIA Holding Companies." This is not a conspiracy. This is not meant in the way that there is some shadow operation of people pulling levers.
There are a few points around this. These are general conclusions and insights that help to understand what is going on in the U.S. and world economy. Placing reference points around realities. Read the choices of words lightly. Grasp the concepts.
First, there is no competition allowed anymore. There are 'chosen' companies. These corporations go public through IPO's (Initial Public Offerings) that are specifically way over-priced in order to give these chosen companies enormous amounts of money (Coinbase-- over-priced IPO here will allow them to be 'the company' that channels, guides, <controls> pretty much the entire population into and through crypto). This money a) provides the company a huge cash stash to expand and takeover their space and b) places a wide gap between the selected company and any other possible competitors.
Second, large corporations work together: To protect each other. And let each other operate in their own lanes.
Third, for any competition that pops up. If the competition isn't friendly, there are 'holding companies' that buy up any of this competition and then just, basically, close and cancel the business. Such a great idea and great workers and entrepreneurs. Taken over (Beats by Dre is a popular example of this, one story that hints at reality here). Oracle is one of these (for lack of a better word) CIA Holding Companies. Look at this list of acquisitions here. Any idea that could compete against the biggest corporations is simply bought up... and closed up.
Fourth, news is drummed up around these companies. Google became Google through the process above. And... combined with mass media saturation of the public. Even bad news is used. Used as a way to create government regulations that actually end up protecting the business from any competition. The problem the chosen company caused... leads to a Congressional solution that makes it impossible for anyone else to compete in the space of that business. Facebook, Tesla, Apple, Peleton, Amazon, Microsoft and on and on and on. These companies have a protected lane to take over. And then all data and information is fed into the government web as well.
Why CIA? It's just a term to help sum up that these companies are well-connected to government and big Wall Street money. Basically, the history of the SEC, CIA (intelligence agencies) and the Federal Reserve is all closely linked to Wall Street's biggest banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan) and government (and its biggest personalities: ie. the Bush family, Kennedy family, etc). Government regulatory agencies such as the SEC are 'the fox watching the henhouse.' Large corporations get their jumpstart from the Wall Street banks behind their IPO's and then the government agencies also help to protect and grow their business interests.
Understanding this reality is essential for those that want to change the world to an economy that is more free and truly open. The U.S. financial system is not capitalist or socialist. It is "Corporatism." As such, the most pressing issue facing society re government and the economy is the separation of Business and State. Corporations must be kept out of government. The 'fox watching the henhouse' needs to end. And then government needs to be used to protect people and small businesses freedom to grow and innovate without Wall Street banks and corporations in the way.
