Illini is just trying to convey that the US and virtually every country on this planet is really not an independent, sovereign nation anymore...which is basically true. Its akin to going to the grocery store and seeing 20 different brands of beer and in reality 19 are owned by one corporation.
In this day and age no leader of a nation and its people, through the political setup, has any meaningful say in the actions of "their" country. Entities such as the "Federal" reserve and the other illegitimate groups along with multi national corporations have taken a stranglehold on the power to create the environment they want. They foist their ideas to the actions they want through the manipulation of public opinion in time tested acts of propaganda, using their ability to disseminate this through their news networks.
