The Hidden Empire

Some people -- possibly fewer and fewer as time goes on -- may still believe that America is the beacon of democracy -- a shining example of freedom, fairness, and people’s power. But in reality, America has turned into something very different, as is becoming more apparent day by day.

It has become a machine powered by corporate greed -- a vast network of global companies and financial powers that now control much of the world.

This network can be termed as TPS, which stands for Transnational Private Sector.

TPS is not one single company or government. It’s a system -- an empire made up of powerful corporations that work across borders. Their only purpose is profit.

They don’t serve any country, people, or moral principles, rather they serve only themselves.

At the top of this corporate empire sits the FIC -- Financial Industrial Complex. This includes financial giants like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock.

These are not just banks or investment firms; they are the control centers of the world’s money flow.

Below the FIC are three more complexes that make up the TPS structure:

● MIC (Military Industrial Complex) – the arms industry and defense contractors that profit from war.

● CIC (Consumer Industrial Complex) – the companies that sell products to ordinary people, from fast food to medicine.

● TIC (Technology Industrial Complex) – the tech giants who collect data, control information, and shape behavior.

Together, they form a self-sustaining global machine.

The Two Types of Games

To understand how TPS operates, it helps to think in terms of two types of games -- Finite Game and Infinite Game.

A Finite Game is a zero-sum game. If one player wins, the other must lose. The goal is short-term victory.

An Infinite Game, however, is about long-term survival. Everyone can win if the game continues -- the goal is stability and growth, not destruction.

TPS plays the finite game. They want immediate profit, quick wins, and dominance.

Governments, on the other hand, are supposed to play the Infinite Game -- focusing on citizens’ welfare, stability, and long-term progress. For example, China’s Belt and Road Initiative builds infrastructure that will serve future generations.

BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are trying to create a more balanced, multipolar world where trade and trust matter more than domination.

These are examples of the Infinite Game -- cooperation and interdependence for mutual gain.

But TPS doesn’t care about that -- their game thrives on how fast they can extract profit, even if it means burning everything else down.

How TPS Uses the US

If we imagine a tall glass skyscraper, the FIC sits at very top, controlling global finance. Just below are the MIC, TIC, and CIC, each serving a specific purpose -- weapons, technology, and consumer goods.

If we look at the base of this skyscraper, it is the United States -- not as a sovereign country, but as the platform that supports the whole structure. 

America’s government has gradually become subservient to TPS. Elections, democracy, and freedom still exist as symbols, but in practice, they don’t change much. The real decisions are made by corporate boards, not by citizens.

Ordinary Americans feel this every day -- rising debt, job insecurity, collapsing healthcare, and increasing inequality. The “land of opportunity” is now the “land of corporate domination.”

From Military Power to Financial Power

In the 20th century, MIC -- the Military Industrial Complex -- ruled the system. Wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and elsewhere were all part of protecting US economic interests and the global dollar system.

But after the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, financial giants gained total freedom to merge banking, investment, and speculation. From that moment, FIC rose to the top of the hierarchy.

FIC didn’t need wars to profit. It could make money from both war and peace -- by betting on both sides. Whether the market rose or fell, FIC always won.

The Three Strategies of FIC

Today, the Financial Industrial Complex runs the global game through three major strategies.

First is Consolidation: Small and medium businesses can no longer survive against mega-corporations. TPS crushes or buys them cheaply. The American dream of small entrepreneurship is dying.

Second is Vassalization: Poorer countries are trapped in debt. TPS uses loans and financial systems to take control of their natural resources, policies, and sovereignty. It’s modern colonialism without armies.

Third is BRICS Alignment: As BRICS nations build an alternative system to the US dollar, TPS is quietly investing in it too. They want to profit from both the fall of the old order and the rise of the new one.

When Finite and Infinite Games Meet

The goals are clear: TPS wants short-term profit; nations need long-term stability. When these two forces meet on the same playing field, the balance breaks.

This is what we are witnessing today -- the world caught between corporate dominance and geo-political realignment.

Countries like China, Russia, and India are trying to bring back the balance -- building systems based on trade, infrastructure, and cooperation. They are trying to move the world from a Finite Game to an Infinite one.

But TPS will not give up easily, they remain invested in their business model while being engaged with the infinite players. It is now playing both sides -- making sure that, no matter which world order wins, they will continue to profit.

The uncomfortable truth is this -- America is the capital of a global corporate empire. The real rulers are not politicians but corporations whose loyalty lies only with money.

The Transnational Private Sector -- TPS -- is not a mere American phenomenon. It’s a global empire, and its influence reaches every corner of the planet.

Things happening around your part of the world might have something to do with the intermingling and the collision between the TPS and other players.
