These Are The "People" That Really Run Your State

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Back in June we showed you "who" really runs your state. By "who" we actually meant "what company", but since corporations are now people, we suppose it’s all the same.

The map showed the largest corporations by revenue in each state and as we noted at the time, there were some surprises (Chevron, not Apple runs California; Costco, not Microsoft runs Washington, for example). 

Below, we present a similar graphic only this time, it’s market cap rather than revenue that’s in focus and as you can see, some of the surprises have disappeared. 

As Broadview Networks explains:

You may have seen the Largest Companies by Revenue 2015 map we put together in June. Well we’re back with an updated version using the latest Market Cap data.  Last year’s map and last month’s map created so much buzz and insightful conversation that we felt it was best to expand on our ideas.

 

We’ve heard your questions, such as, “Where are Apple and Microsoft?”.  These huge companies could not be represented on the total revenue maps we had posted, since other companies had a higher total revenue.  Your questions end here because the wait is over! This map reveals the largest companies by their market value in each state, which is what most people think of when they hear about big businesses. It’s safe to say, most people will not be surprised with the results.

 

Please note: We used Market Cap value on 7/27/2015 for the list from Yahoo Finance.  Because of its ever changing value, some of the values may be different today.

hxc, many of kchrisc's previous posts have been careful about defining the kind of "Zionism" meant, which is basically an organized crime gang, operating in a manner similar to colonialism.

I admit that I too get somewhat bored of the repetitions, but it is our reality that is stuck in that rut. As Jeff Rense has often stated: "The facts are the facts." There is an overwhelming preponderance among the ruling classes of those who identify themselves as "Jews" or "Zionists." (Of course, anyone who studies that recognizes that not all Jews are Zionists, as well as that not all Zionists are Jews.)

Under an article whose title is "these are the people that run you state," it seems appropriate to repeat the degree to which the Federal Reserve Board runs the United States, and its figurehead has been Jewish over and over and over again, to a degree to which that approaches odds of something like a few hundred million to one against being by chance.

kchrisc's summary:

Zion >> Banksters >> Fiat-Debt >> States >> Debt Service >> Taxes >> Tyranny >> People

may be somewhat oversimplified, but nevertheless, basically correct.

Personally, what I do not like about kchrisc's point of view is the degree to which he relies upon there being some fundamental dichotomy between "liberty versus tyranny."  That then tends to promote impossible ideals as the basis for the alleged "solutions" to those problems. In that context, I sympathize with your criticism, hxc, that kchrisc's pining for some mystical "limited" government, is too over-simplified.

But nevertheless, kchrisc's basic assertions regarding who and how the United States IS actually being controlled appear to be factually based, when one looks beyond the facade of different corporations, to the bigger political economy in which they are embedded, which primarily operates through governments ENFORCING FRAUDS by privately controlled banks, which is the system around which all big corporations have grown, as integrated systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence.

As a video on the history of the French Revolution that was previously embedded in a Zero Hedge article pointed out, there ended up being a strange poetic justice that the man who became the most berserk of those guillotining others was in the end himself also guillotined.

That what went around came around in that way is taking "more guillotine" over the top. (But still, when I first read your comment, Implied Violins, I found it amusing.)

I do not think it matters so much who they are, as what they do. Furthermore, there are way more INTENSE PARADOXES to be found there than that they are human beings, who superficially look like other human beings!

Personally, I have no interest in participating in any angry mobs, nor in pointing out who they should attack. My view is that the best organized gangs of criminals are NOT different than other people in any fundamental ways, but only in relative degrees, and those relative degrees of difference change through time and space. Furthermore, I embrace an overview of human ecology which requires that there must be some death control systems, and therefore, accepts how and why there were groups of people who were selected to do that with the most social successfulness, in the most deceitful and treacherous ways.

I find the principles and methods of organized crime necessarily match human beings and civilizations operating as entropic pumps of energy flows, whose peculiar set of consistent contradictions follow from the history of social success based upon backing up lies with violence. Their excessive successes results in society as a whole becoming psychotic.

There is no good language to discuss the situation that governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals. Rather, the dominate social langages that people mostly use to think with and communicate through tend to be based upon the biggest bullies' bullshit world view, and therefore, present everything in the most absurdly backward ways possible. Hence, while I may agree with the analysis of who the biggest and best organized gangs of criminals may be at any time, in any place, that does not mean that I agree with any over-simplified views of what should be done about that.

To put it another way, it seems obvious to me that rolling out the pitch forks or the guillotines, etc., is necessarily more organized crime, in conflict with other organized crime. Indeed, the whole of human history has been that. Therefore, it continues to be INTENSELY PARADOXICAL to develop better organized crimes. Furthermore, after the development of weapons of mass destruction, how to operate the human murder systems, in order to back up the human money systems, have even less acceptable answers than ever before in human history.

Rather than inciting some mob to attack scapegoats, I would prefer profound paradigm shifts in the ways that we perceive death control systems in general.

A couple of sayings that summarize the deeper issues are:

It is founded on a murder and a lie.

&

What started out as a love story ended up a murder mystery,

I don't know. Somehow I just can't picture Chipotle as part of a vast, globe-spanning conspiracy to sell Coloradans into perpetual servitude. Nor am I aware of any special favoritism shown them by the government of the state. No mysterious immigration raids on 3 Margaritas. No sudden tax problems down at Taco Bell. No kicking out grannies into the street through Eminent Domain so they can put up a new franchise on cheap land.

I used to write click-bait internet B.S. like this all the time and it's only done for one purpose--because lists have a magic and practically irresistible fascination to tiny brains.They can't avoid clicking on them, and almost all lists are presented as a series of individual items to artificially boost page views. The authors couldn't care less about the value of the information in a list, only that a list is created and offered up for viewing. Now that you've been let in on the secret, keep an eye on your home page. From now on, you'll know that I speak the hidden truth. See if you can hold out against the allure of lists. Not that easy to do.

Don't worry. Here in upstate NY, we have a public library system that's fairly robust. But, in the tiny enclave I've come to call home in the past six months, they allow the kids to use the free computers (they use Win-dohs OS) to play video games.

People are seriously stupid and we're allowing the kids to become even dumber. The only advantage I can see to being in my 60s is that I'll likely die before the real SHTF.

West Virginia is run by III?  As in 3 % ers?  get real.  That state is run by the Federal goverment.  More federal build projects than you can shake a stick at and pretty much every swinnging dick in the state is on some form of federal assistance.

Wouldn't a map of the highest contributors to state legislatures/federal campaigns be a more accurate picture?  ExpressScripts here in MO is surely a big company, however, their presence isn't nearly as ubiquotous as Monsanto or InBev.

Travel tip - save this chart.  Next time you are visiting one of the major cities in those states, say you work for that company and ask for a better hotel rate
