Corporate globalists (bankers, the elite, call them what you will) control the governments and NGOs. Politicians are mere puppets of the corporate elite.
Really, who has the power? Google, Facebook, Twitter appoint the politicians. They can rig their programs to swing elections. The politicians, including Biden and Harris, answer to their corporate masters. Not the other way around.
It's a perfect setup for the corporate elite. It's better to rule from behind the scenes than from the podium. When the people get mad, they get mad at the politicians. Then come next election, the corporate elite can replace the current politicians with a new set of politicians. Fresh faces promising "change," but same old policies.
It's a closed loop feedback system. It's both.
