Indeed, I've found the infiltration of monarchical type behaviour to be surprisingly prevalent in the modern US oligarchical elite structure. I think people have forgotten that, throughout most of the history of our country the UK and EU oligarchy/aristocracy/monarchy have been the enemy of the US, and in the beltway rush to power many of them have become infatuated with the trappings of neo-feudalism, all without even realizing the magnitude of their error. Make no mistake about it, the idea of national sovereignty worldwide is under attack, including the United States of America's, but no one really wants to admit or even entertain ideas of whom it might be, lest the truth be too upending. What have ended up is a modern day star chamber. "Finding its support from the king’s prerogative (sovereign power and privileges) and not bound by the common law, Star Chamber’s procedures gave it considerable advantages over the ordinary courts. It was less bound by rigid form; it did not depend upon juries either for indictment or for verdict; it could act upon the petition of an individual complainant or upon information received; it could put an accused person on oath to answer the petitioner’s bill and reply to detailed questions. On the other hand, its methods lacked the safeguards that common-law procedures provided for the liberty of the subject.” –Encyclopedia Britannica
