Central to the establishment vision is the economic and eugenical regimentation of world society. The plan, in summary, is paternalistic, feudalistic, oligarchical, techno-industrial world government. Most Bilderberg affiliates of record pursue this agenda unwittingly, and were it laid out for them clearly and concisely, they would find it congenial in most of its aspects. The most dreadful aspects of the vision - eugenical regimentation and feudalism - are not explicit or conscious Bilderberg programs, but instead are consciously pursued only by the nuclei of the establishment - the houses of Rothschild and (to an increasingly exclusive degree) Rockefeller. Affiliates consciously innocent of these visions would shudder and briefly balk if their conscious proponents - the establishment leaders - presented them plainly. However, most would in short order recognize the congruence of the visions with their own sensibilities, and embrace them, as did their counterparts in the indigenous establishments of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. Indeed, the Nazi eugenical program was borrowed whole cloth from the movement in America and Britain, promoted most specifically by the American nuclear establishment. Consider that Adam Carolla, cohost of Loveline (distributed via Viacom's MTV and Westinghouse's WXRK (K-Rock east, home base of Howard Stern) and KROQ (K-Rock west, home base of Loveline) - note that Viacom and Westinghouse (CBS) have merged into a single corporation) openly and repeatedly maintains (in the program, over the air) that the state should have the authority to decide who is and is not permitted to procreate.
The recent institution of genome patenting implies that the patent holder in some way owns the individual with that genome, since that individual is obviously practicing the patent. This is a remarkable corruption, and a generous (and unlikely) interpretation would allow the patent holder to kill the individual at the patent holder's caprice, since this is the only way the patent holder could halt unauthorized practice of the patent. A more established institution in the same vein is civil commitment, which operates like civil forfeiture, with a reduced burden of proof, only the object seized by the state is an actual living human individual. Civil commitment is an extraconstitutional mechanism by which private citizens licensed by a committee of executive appointees cause the forcible imprisonment of individuals charged with no crime, with subsequent judicial review based principally on standards promulgated by the private American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the ``DSM'').
The establishment's vision is substantially implemented, in each of its facets, today. They now seek only to make their control more precise and complete, its exercise less unwieldy and risk-laden, and its instruments and infrastructure more permanent and unchallengeable.
An important theme of the establishment model is corporate specialization, in which a company's domain of production is narrowly circumscribed. Such an arrangement is often attained by a series of spin-offs (vertical disintegration) and mergers of competitors (horizontal integration), with the objective of securing a monopolistic turnstile at a key nexus of the economy. Such monopolies force other companies to become dependent, and are themselves completely dependent on other companies, since their raw materials must be supplied to them by other companies, and their products are not useful in and of themselves but instead simply serve to supply other companies with raw materials. The end effect is that the economy is made into a single fantastically inefficient corporation managed by the state through regulation, in which each nominally sovereign corporation is just a department, and all interaction between de facto departments is within the state's regulatory purview. Since these interactions between departments often traverse national boundaries, often it is the global state (currently, principally the WTO) that is empowered. The machinery of regulation is itself controlled by various committees.
The effect of the patent system is like the effect of corporate specialization. Inventions are systems, and systems have components. If an inventor's palette of available components is curtailed by patent encumbrances, he is disempowered. He must choose among various obsolete components on which the patents have expired, unless he is working for an immense multinational corporation with an armada of lawyers and a vast portfolio of patents and patent-sharing agreements. This grossly impedes innovation. What impedes innovation reduces the tools available to the scientist, reducing his prospects for breakthrough discovery. This, in turn, reduces the knowledge available to inventors, reducing their prospect of conceiving breakthrough inventions. Of course, patents are accessible only to large corporations, because even if an individual obtains a patent, the cost of detecting infringement and defending the patent in court (a process without which the patent is meaningless) is prohibitive. The total dynamic dramatically diminishes prospects for prosperity.
Committees are a central feature of establishment organization, and committees were a particularly ascendant feature of power structure in the twentieth century. There are all sorts, some rather recent inventions, others dating to antiquity. Legislatures, juries, panels of justices, and the whole of the voting citizenry, are all committees described in the US constitution. Executive commissions and panels, such as the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Election Commission, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Federal Reserve Board of Governors and associated Federal Open Market Committee (which are actually an especially innovative type of committee, comprising state and non-state members) are another type of committee, a type popularized in the twentieth century. Industry councils that consider, adopt, and promulgate standards, such as the International Standards Organization and American National Standards Institute, are another important type of committee popularized in the twentieth century. In the eighteenth century, a pivotal type of committee was incepted: the corporate board of directors. This type of committee ascended to dominance in the nineteenth century. In the nineteenth century, the multinational multilateral multisectorial council of eminent persons was incepted, and it ascended to dominance in the twentieth century, with the incorporation of the Council on Foreign Relations and Royal Institute for International Affairs, and eventually, of Bilderberg.
