Yes, one of those honest statements that slips out now and again. To press it a little further, using the old Marxist metphor, the U.S. government -Presidency, including The Treasury, Congress, Judiciary, Military - is still sort of the executive controlled by the Board of Directors (central committee) of the Dictatorship of Transnational Bourgeoisie. The U.S. economic policy (off shore and on) is not aimed at the best interests of the American People in their tens of millions or even the federal top bureaucrats, but the maximum profits for the owners of big private property. Can there be any doubt ? The U.S/IMF top bureaucrats, Clinton, the Treasury Secretary, Cadmusses (spelling) are not the actual rulers , but top servants of the rulers, aren't they ? "Who" is the ruling class, "The Board of Directors of the whole World" ? I know conspiracy theory is not favored, but the "system" is not like an mechanical object at the top. There are people there commanding anonymously, aren't there ? It's not Morgan's ghost running things on automatic. I don't know what we can do about it. But I refuse to be naive.
