The oligarchy operates through the unelected
bureaucracies of the civil service of career bureaucrats,
that remain throughout the various transitions of elected
administrations. The oligarchy will control various
functionaries within the civil service, that are not subject
to appointment by elected officials, and that do not
change with administrations. They will control these
functionaries through bribery, by offering them access to
special relationships, connections and access to financial
and other advantages, relative to the needs and wants of
the recipient.
These functionaries in return work to subvert the
interests of the many, and to exploit the workings of the
government for oligarchical interests when such is
desired. They are not overt, are very discreet, nor do they
overuse their advantage, operating only when necessary,
so as not to expose the operation and existence of the
oligarchical influence. Oligarchies also engage in various
other means of control. They give away lots of money,
especially to the favorite charities, to the special projects,
to the political campaigns of all elected officials including
judges and to anyone else who can help them, and they
pull strings to make things happen for those who can
benefit them. Much of government foreign and domestic
policy and action cannot be understood in the sense of the
common good, because it is orchestrated for the purpose
of benefiting the oligarchy or others with ability to achieve
private ends.
The oligarchy is all pervasive throughout history because
it is the objective of Progressive Materialism, wherein
Excess and Profit is the primary means of establishing the
significance, worth, value and consequence of the
individual.
