An elite in political and sociological theory, is a small group of people who control a disproportionate amount of wealth or political power.
Mills wrote in his 1957 book The Power Elite that the "elite" are "those political, economic, and military circles, which as an intricate set of overlapping small but dominant groups share decisions having at least national consequences. Insofar as national events are decided, the power elite are those who decide them."
According to Mills, the governing elite in the US primarily draws its members from three areas: (i) the highest political leaders (including the president) and a handful of key cabinet members and close advisers; (ii) major corporate owners and directors; and (iii) high ranking military officers. These groups overlap, and elites tend to circulate from one sector to another, consolidating power as they do so.
Unlike the ruling class, a social formation based on heritage and social ties, the power elite is characterized by the organizational structure through which its wealth is acquired. According to Mills, part of the power elite is "the managerial reorganization of the propertied classes into the more or less unified stratum of the corporate rich." Domhoff further clarified the differences in the two terms: "The upper class as a whole does not do the ruling. Instead, class rule is manifested through the activities of a wide variety of organizations and institutions... Leaders within the upper class join with high-level employees in the organizations they control to make up what will be called the power elite."
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
Plot
Some time after being imprisoned, five young delinquents from the Rome suburbs become friends and bind themselves by a blood path. A few years later, they set up a caper meant to pay big and to allow them to change their lives. Everything is meticulously designed down to the finest detail: the cash escort carrying five million euros for the benefit of a criminal organization is attacked and the money stolen and invested in a drug traffic. But the Russian mafia is on their heels...
Plot
A short web series chronicling the Punisher's actions from 1979 - 1982. In those four years, each defined as an entry into the Punisher's journal, Frank Castle runs a foul, Jigsaw, Daredevil, a serial killer, a Junkie dressed up like Santa and a mess of thugs all "asking for it." But things slowly escalate to an all out warzone, as defined in the Punisher's final entry in 1982, as he takes on Typhoid Mary, Nuke, The Russian, Bullseye, Crossbone and a few more deadly foes.
God forgives, he makes the arrangements.

Min släkt är full av hjältar
Decennier av slit
Brustna hjärtan, trötta leder
Deras stolthet bar mig hit
Nu är dom gömda bakom stjärnor
Vid vintergatans kant
Dom är glömda men dom talar
Genom pennan i min hand
Och dom bar mig ända hit
Jag ska besvara elden
Om jag kan ta dig dit
Jag ska bevara elden
i en sång för vår elit
Genom 57 kanaler
Satelliter i en ring
Ett hundra överklass poeter
Kan inte ge mig någonting
Jag har sprungit i ett liv nu
Jag sprang för att stå still
I jakt på ett mirakel
när det fanns precis intill
Nu är jag vaken jag är fri
Jag ska besvara elden
Om jag kan ta dig dit
Jag ska bevara elden
i en sång för vår elit
Jag ska besvara elden
Om jag kan ta dig dit
Jag ska bevara elden
i en sång för vår elit
En sång för vår elit
En sång för vår elit
Här är en sång för vår elit
Desas desus ku diberitahu
Apa berlaku di belakangku
Memang percaya memanglah benar
Tiada angin pohon tak bergoyang
Kini terjadi tidak dinafi
Mata sendiri menjadi saksi
Jangan kau tentang yang jelas terang
Cinta kau songsang hina dan curang
Dirinya dirimu diriku
Katakan padaku yang kau mahu
Dirinya dirimu diriku
Katakan saja rahsia hatimu
Adakah kau sangka ku boneka
Diam memejam mata
Maaf salah masa salah wanita 'tuk kau dusta
Kau bukan lelaki sebenar
Cukuplah sudah segala segala helah
Aku perintah berpaling arah
Tidak ku mahu lagi bertemu
Diriku malu apa berlaku
Cuma sedarlah cinta kau dosa
Dan sampai bila tidak ke mana
Guna wanita 'tuk mengabur mata
Berpura-pura status dijaga
Dirinya dirimu diriku
Katakan padaku yang kau mahu
Dirinya dirimu diriku
Katakan saja rahsia hatimu
Adakah kau sangka ku boneka
Diam memejam mata
Maaf salah masa salah wanita 'tuk kau dusta
Kau bukan lelaki sebenar
Cinta dinamik maknanya
Cinta indah khabar dari rupa
Daku seringkali menghampiri
Cinta yang tulus dan sejati, Perjudikan hati
Akhirnya dimungkiri
Cinta mudahnya dikata
Bisa menghanyutkan leka
Walau sudah berulang kali
Ku tetap silap langkah lagi, Dikejut dari mimpi
Adakah ditakdirkan bersendiri
* Mengapa manusia bercinta
Pada hakikatnya menyakitkan saja
Indahnya hanya sementara merana
Perit bagaikan tercabut nyawa
Mengapa daku terus terpedaya
"'Tuk kali ke berapa harus ku diluka
Puas daku berendam airmata
Namun tetap diperangkap oleh cinta
Daku cekalkan semangat
Dunia lebih luas dapat ku lihat
Namun daku cukup mengenali
Diriku pasti sekali lagi akan jatuh hati
Pada yang berjanji seindah mimpi
* Mengapa manusia bercinta
Pada hakikatnya menyakitkan saja
Indahnya hanya sementara merana
Perit bagaikan tercabut nyawa
Mengapa daku terus terpedaya
"'Tuk kali ke berapa harus ku diluka
Puas daku berendam airmata
Namun tetap diperangkap oleh cinta

Terkenang zaman remaja
Akulah juara dalam becinta
Banyak hati telah ku luka
Ku terus melangkah tanpa rasa
Bersalah di dada
Apa yang utama
Ku menjaga hatiku
Agar tak dihampa
Tapi nampaknya ku tewas kini
Dengan caramu yang tersendiri
Sememangnya ku dulu pencuri hati
Namun pencuri ini sedar dan berjanji
Takkan melukakan hati yang tulus sejati
Ramai yang tahu diriku pencuri hati
Namun ku juga dambakan cinta abadi
Dan bukannya suatu rahsia hatiku dicuri dirimu
Segala peluang yang tiba
Tak pernah ku guna
Benar berusaha
Ramai yang datang dan pergi
Semuanya ku tepis
Hingga kini
Sememangnya ku dulu pencuri hati
Namun pencuri ini sedar dan berjanji
Takkan melukakan hati yang tulus sejati
Ramai yang tahu diriku pencuri hati
Namun ku juga dambakan cinta abadi
Dan bukannya suatu rahsia hatiku dicuri dirimu
Aku kan percaya cinta selamanya
Asal kau juga yakin dengan kita
Demi cintaku padamu
Ku tinggalkan caraku dulu
Telah ku pelajari
Dari kesilapanku dulu
Moga kau kan memahami
Sememangnya ku dulu pencuri hati
Namun pencuri ini sedar dan berjanji
Takkan melukakan hati yang tulus sejati
Ramai yang tahu diriku pencuri hati
Namun ku juga dambakan cinta abadi
Dan bukannya suatu rahsia hatiku dicuri dirimu
KRU/KRU
Tiada lagi air mata
Bisa ku tangiskan lagi
Tiada lagi guna bermadah
Tempatku bukannya di sini
Sepuluh tahun ku menghambar padamu
Tak ku pinta lebih daripada tulus cinta
Namun kau menoda
Berkecai mahligai kita
Tidak pernahkah kau terfikir
Kemungkinan yang berakhir
Tidak pernahkah tersingkap di minda
Wajah kita sekeluarga
Sekelip mata berubah segalanya
Tiba-tiba dunia daku gelap gelita
Tak menentu hala
Teringat kau bersamanya
c/o
Trauma yang melanda
Menikam-nikan jiwa
Selemah ku lemah daku berserah
Trauma yang ku rasakan
Hanya padamu tuhan
Yang memahami
Pedih di hati
Tiada pengubat bisa merawat luka
Ku dalam trauma
Walau seribu pujuk rayu
Tak mengubah pendirianku
Sekali kau menduakan ku
Selamanya tertutup pintu
Biar daku membawa diri ini
Pergi jauh takkan kembali
Ku mencari ketenangan hati
Cuba lenyapka trauma ini
(repeat c/o)
I am here to invoke the beast in you
Tear out the pain that you've consumed
Trust in me as i stare into you
I recognize all that you've been through
Because i have been there too provoke what makes you thorn
Now flip that switch and transform
We are fucking elite
And nothing can ever touch us
We are elite
As for the rest, obsolete
Within these walls we are defiant
Look at this as your therapy
Lose yourself in this moment of cleansing
Lose yourself
In this moment of intensity as for the rest, obsolete
We are elite
We are elite
We are elite shed your mortal shell
Let those inner demons free
Close those eyes and dig deep
Clench your fists and with me say what makes your hair stand tall
What makes your blood boil
What makes your sking crawl channel these
Feelings and erupt
Now we're rigged and set to explode
We are elite
This is where you belong!
We are elite
This is where you belong!
Do you find yourself in the air
flying away?
Do you think that you're awake
just because you are?
Don't you know? How could you not understand?
Anyone with their ear to the ground
knows we will not be bound
You can push but you can't beat us down
we deliver the sound
We were born and belong underground
but we are all around
You can try but you can't own this crown
it was ours to be found
There is no way that you could know
where Murphy goes
If you fall down off the road
you get back up again
Don't you know? How could you not understand?
did you doubt us from what came before?
were you not a believer?
here and now all your doubts are no more
this is redeemer
Jika kau pernah merasakan
Sesuatu yang tak ada artinya
Dan jika kau pernah bertanya
Apakah kau pantas ada disana
Cobalah kau berfikir
Bahwa hidupmu tak henti disini
Maka janganlah kau ragu
Untuk setiap kata hatimu
Lihatlah dunia dengan matamu
Lihatlah lebih jauh
Kelak kau kan menemukan jalanmu
Ku tahu itupun tak akan mudah
Jadi berusahalah
Kelak kau kan dapat hari bahagia
(Kelak kau kan dapat hari bahagia)
Jika fikiranmu mengganggu
Dan hatimu seakan tak menentu
lyricsalls.blogspot.com
(Hati seakan tak menentu)
Janganlah kau berputus asa
Semua ada jalannya
Dan jadikan hidupmu berharga
Cobalah kau berfikir
Bahwa hidupmu tak henti disini
Maka janganlah kau ragu
Untuk setiap kata hatimu
Lihatlah dunia dengan matamu
Lihatlah lebih jauh
Kelak kau kan menemukan jalanmu
Ku tahu itupun tak akan mudah
Jadi berusahalah
[Radius]
A baby born from a crackhead and a father that lead
A lot of drug dealers known to pack lead
He grew instantly with the source of her misery
Moms and pops dimes and rocks took all there energy
Pops died over drug deals with the enemy
While moms OD'ed in front of her stressed her miserably
She smoked weed to get rid of the thoughts
Blinded by love the little girls' vision was lost
The weed lead to crack crack lead to needles
Needles lead to a life weak crippled and feeble
Now enriched with an evil way of livin' life proper
Found herself a man in a year that nigga's locked up
9 months he's out of the pen sober
Just to come home to see his wife surrounded by stems
He embraced her thinkin' that nothin' was wrong
And he got into the habit now corruptin' his dome
A teenage woman in relations with a grown man
So weak he couldn't take her matters in his own hands
It's so damn fucked up he couldn't get the message
And beat her daily when he found out that the chick was pregnant
They started stressin' for their fetus and their weak existence
Didn't say Gods' name in vein but put a needle in it
Soon enough they tried crack and started snortin' coke
Could've killed the kid but they smoked the abortion dough
9 months passed shit gets worse in an abandoned complex
Soon to be ruins of some old and badly damaged projects
With no heat on the stove they were frozen cold
Then he sees his woman pissin' when her fuckin' water broke
Then the contractions and her screamin' like her hole was snappin'
But a quarter and a dime ain't what he's known for havin'
Somebody heard the screams and helped them in this crazy world
Ten hours later mom and pops had a baby girl
Lovely little kid beautiful for sure contaminated
A crack baby so addicted badly elevated
Moms was killed durin' birth pops was devastated
He left the room more surprised than an exclamation
He left the hospital fiendin' yo' he gotta have it
Soon to be killed by a dealer just for robbin' stashes
The kids parentless there's only one option
Leave her up to D I F A S to put up for adoption
Now adopted the circle spins I hear the echo
To a family that lives away but near the ghetto
Girl was smart just an innocent kid
Who got nice awards for honor roll and citizenship
Missed perfect attendance because she was sick
Still thought about college she roughly was 6
7 years later she met a boy in her life
Movin' to fast the darkness steady poisons the light
Learned sex education got her first period
They should've watched her closely and took my words serious
3 years later she was still with the kid
Always high drinkin' liquor getting ill with the biz
And her old urge for crack was still in her ribs
Plus her boyfriend used he was killin' the shit
Goin' in abandoned buildings to sniff Jesus
They stop fuckin' when her friend didn't come and see her uh
She was then banished from the home that she was planned in
Then her man did the magic trick that nigga vanished
A pregnant single mother understood that shit was major
So she walked the streets sellin' ass to get the paper
Another crack baby born into some hard labor
Who mother was killed by a man who tried to rape her
It destroys dreams so avoid the weakness
It's fucked up when you resurrect a poisoned fetus
Damn
´Tidak terlintas di hati . . . Untuk melukakan hatimu . . . Namun kini baru
ku sedar
Sehingga kini ku mencari apa ertinya bahagia
Sedaya daku mencuba
Segala usahaku kau persia-sia
Sejuta memori yang kita lalui
Namun hanya silapku yang kau cari
Haruskah ku bertemankan duka
Kau pergi membuat hatiku tertanya
* Hanya kerana tersilap kata
Sinar pagiku tak bercahaya
Namun apakan daya
Ku hanya manusia
Oh! Mengapa . . . . .
Hanya kerna tersilap kata
Malam sepiku tak berpurnama
Sehingga kau menerima
Hanya maaf yang ingin ku pinta
Puas daku melupakan kesilapan yang ku lakukan
Tak ku sangka sepatah kata dapat mengubah segala-galanya
Jika dapat ku ulangi masa
Tidak mungkin hatimu di kecewa
Takdir penentu jalan hidup kita
Dalam diam jiwaku bergelora
* Hanya kerana tersilap kata
Sinar pagiku tak bercahaya
Namun apakan daya
Ku hanya manusia
Oh! Mengapa . . . . .
Hanya kerna tersilap kata
Malam sepiku tak berpurnama
Sehingga kau menerima
Hanya maaf yang ingin ku pinta
Amat ku kesali . . . Ingin ku berjanji . . . Jika kau kembali
* Hanya kerana tersilap kata
Sinar pagiku tak bercahaya
Namun apakan daya
Ku hanya manusia
Oh! Mengapa . . . . .
Hanya kerna tersilap kata
Malam sepiku tak berpurnama
Sehingga kau menerima
Hanya maaf yang ingin ku pinta
Setiap kali kau marahi diriku ini
Tergugur jantungku tergaman membisu
Setiap kali kau kasariku tak mengerti
Kau berjanji tidak kau ulangi lagi
Tiada guna kita bersama
Jika jiwa merana
Akulah wanita
Di sini nokhtahnya, jangan kau cabar
(korus)
Aku bukannya selemah yang kau sangka
Aku tak rela diseksa, haa!
Beranikah lagi bersemuka
Rasakan kuasa, tamparan wanita
Perasaan cinta tiada lagi di dada
Hanya perasaan takut menghantu minda
Mana bisa ku percaya... janjimu dusta
Lihtalah saja luka daku kau dera
Tiada guna berkata-kata
Masanya sudah tiba
Akulah wanita
Tidak lagi gentar... jangan kau cabar
Aku perlu berdiri tanpamu
I'm just running around
It's so hard to be on time
I keep falling down
Nothing left for me to find
But when she comes around
Then it feels a little better for a while
Sometimes I dream that you're alive
Sometimes I dream that you're still here, that you're alive
You're evil now
Well what was that all about
Not a sign
Not a word and then goodbye
But then she comes around
And it feels a little better for a while
Sometimes I dream that you're still here, that you're alive
gagal sekali tak bererti
gagal `tuk selamanya
ha aahh...
mungkin dulu aku keliru
dengan ucapan cinta
ha aahh...
kiniku sedari
ku tak perlu lagi
menagih kasih cinta simpati
jadi janganlah kau mengganggu
lagi kehidupanku
uuhh...
c/o lihatlah dunia
kubebas gembira
lihatlah dunia kuberjaya
kuberlari-lari
kumenari-nari
lihatlah dunia
inilah sebenar kehidupan
ini sebenarnya kehidupan
jika kau fikir kumerana
fikir kali kedua

kubukan lagi gadis remaja
yang bisa kau perdaya

ku akan kembali
engkau fikir engkau siapa

ku ke kiri
biar ku berdikari
uuhh...

When you're ripe you'll
bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control
you like attention
it's proof to you you're alive
stop parading your angles

when you're ripe you'll
bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control
you're pregnant with all this
space thick with honey
but I lost my taste
you're into depression cause

stop this faux to be famous
confused?
