" For example: ” US does not exercise ‘hegemony’ over Latin America’s trading relations.”
LOL! That’s nothing! “US” doesn’t exercise hegemony over anything! "

Nowhere, I suppose, does one see USA power over South America better as when driving from Miami to the Keys.

Re: " UK Prince William referred to East Jerusalem as occupied land"

Editor: The land was the British Mandate for Palestine, then the Brits transferred it: some land to the Palestinians and some land the Jews. The UN merely brokered the deal. If Brits had done this, the Jews wouldn't have a claim to any land at all.
The point is: the Brits do have dog is this fight.

Israel anger as UK Prince set to visit ‘occupied’ East Jerusalem

Israeli Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Zeev Elkin was enraged as UK Prince William referred to East Jerusalem as occupied land, claiming that “united” Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for 3,000 years, Israeli news website Ynet News reported yesterday.

According to the news site, Prince William, who is to arrive in the region on 25 June, will visit the occupied Old City of Jerusalem as part of his tour of the Palestinian territories.

The Israeli news website said that Elkin was especially enraged by Kensington Palace’s official statement which said: “The programme in the Occupied Palestinian Territories will begin with a short briefing on the history and geography of Jerusalem’s Old City from a viewing point at the Mount of Olives.”

On his Facebook page, Elkin wrote: “It’s regrettable that Britain chose to politicise the Royal visit. Unified Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for over 3,000 years and no twisted wording of the official press release will change the reality. I’m expecting the prince’s staff to fix this distortion.”

Of course that is a total lie - the Jews have had control of that land for only a few hundred years of those 3,000 years. What a putz! He can take his rage and shove it!

@ Editor very insightful comment..no longer is it just the central banks, the whole corruption of government by method of privatization has produced a centrality of monopoly powered (copyright patent, public monopoly privatization, with attendant and out right delivery of government duties and assets in the form of franchises and government contracts to) corporate privateers.

Government has been systematically disassembled and transferred into highly differentiated well endowed cells (corporations), with a result that has allowed privateers to develop specialized expertise and assets far superior to that available to government, making government in fact highly dependent on the privateers( a homeland security look the other way issue). Worse, government has encouraged its privateers to block competition (this is done by copyright, patent, treaty and contract law). Privatizing government into privately owned cells has also allowed the privateers to hide behind the nation state name privately inflicted privateer abuse of power where ever they have a unsatisfied interest.

Media describes the corporate wars as wars between nations, media describes the laws, lawmakers-make, as laws the lawmakers decided on, but in fact; laws since 1913 have been rules given to lawmakers by corporate interest to be made into law. Corporations dictate to the lawmakers; their demands are made through the mouths of lobbyist and employed plants[corporate operatives and corporate spies] within the administration and government.

One of the earliest privatizations in America, occurred, when the Privately owned Fed reserve became the owner of the part of the public domain which the USA was suppose to protect; that protected public domain element is known as the monopoly power on money. That privatization reincarnated control by the same old bankers and investors in the City of London who previously controlled commerce and economics in Colonial America. That privatization handed to the City of London players the same control over America they enjoyed when America was a British Colony. After killing Lincoln, placing plants in USA courts and in elected and administrative offices of the USA, conditions were set up to make privatization happen. What triggered the transfer to the Federal Reserve was the Zionist urging to make Americans fight the German's to save Britain in WWI, what congress did was to hand over to a group of private investors, the privilege and duty given exclusively to congress by the constitution; the privilege and duty to coin and distribute the money currency that regulated and controlled commerce in both domestic American and USA activities (secret or published) in foreign nations. In other words, no part of the economy would ever again be subject to the political will of American voters.

The transfer of the money power from public domain to private enterprise subordinated the constitutional duty cited in Article I Section 8 {5} The Congress shall have power ...to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and.... if that transfer had not been made, it is doubtful Americans would have been drafted to help the Kol Nidrei expressing Zionist in their quest to defeat the Germans and to destroy the Ottoman Empire, the precondition to controlling all of the oil in the world, for the benefit of British and French Banksters and their sprawling corporate empires.

The government monopoly on the coinage, distribution and valuation of money was transferred from the USA (public domain) to the FEDERAL RESERVE (privately owned corporation) in a nation state crippling process known through out the modern world as Privatization. Rule of law provided the highway; profit incentive and the intentions of Kol Nidrei expressing Zionist to take the oil from the Arabs and at the same time to eliminate Germany as a possible competitor provided the transfer energy.
