THE SECRET SHADOW GOVERNMENT
 A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
 By Richard J. Boylan Ph.D.

Just as with the official government, the Shadow Government has functional
branches. However, unlike the official government, the purpose of the
non-executive branches of the Shadow Government is simply to distribute
various functions, but not to achieve a system of checks and balances, as
was supposed to happen constitutionally between the executive, legislative
and judicial branches of the U.S. Government. That is because the Shadow
Government is a creature of a powerful elite, who need not fear being
dominated by an instrument of their own creation.

In the Shadow Government five branches may be identified. These branches
are: the Executive Branch, the Intelligence Branch, the War Department,
the Weapons Industry Branch, and the Financial Department.

The reporting lines of the Intelligence Branch and the War Department to
the Executive Branch are straightforward and obvious. Intelligence exists
to provide the Executive Branch with sufficient necessary information to
make adequately informed policy decisions. The War Department exists to
provide coercive force to carry out Executive policy decisions which could
meet with public resistance. The Special Operations units within the
Intelligence Branch and War Department exist to carry out policy
directives requiring covert action and official deniability.

The Weapons Industry Branch reports to the Executive Branch most often
indirectly, through the War Department and/or the Intelligence Branch (for
Black Budget weapons systems).

The Financial Department theoretically reports to the Executive Branch for
fiscal policy implementation, but de facto also reports directly to the
international power brokers who have created the Shadow Government. The
Financial Department serves at times directly as their instrument of
fiscal policy implementation.

An analysis of the overall purposes of these five branches suggests that
the overall purpose of the Shadow Government is to exercise covert control
by:

Collecting comprehensive institutional and personal information

By establishing national and international policy independently of the
established Government

By developing high-tech arms and equipment, and, with these, establishing
small, specialized, highly mobile, elite military units to effect these
covert policies, when need arises, without having to rely on the official
(and "unreliable") Armed Services, (whose subservience to the Shadow
Government is reasonably suspect)

By developing an armed capability to repel any threat to the status quo,
(including the uncertain ontological, social, and economic impacts of any
revelation of the reality of UFO and extraterrestrial presence) through
the development of a Star Wars/BMDO ground and space-based surveillance
and SDI weapons network

By denying information compromising to the Shadow Government from all
those outside "need-to-know" policy-making levels

By exercising control on the money supply, availability of credit, and the
worth of money, through policy decisions made outside of the official
Government.
