A Special Page for How the American Dream has been Suppressed and Oppressed by the Collusion between Corporate America and Congress for Over a Hundred Years – and Continues to Prey Upon the Average Consumer
“With mass-production and mass-distribution go mass-financing, and the three have conspired to expropriate ever-increasing numbers of small owners of land and productive equipment, thus reducing the sum of freedom among the majority and increasing the power of the minority to exercise a coercive control over the lives of their fellows.
This coercively controlling minority is composed of private capitalists or government bureaucrats or of both classes of bosses acting in collaboration – and, of course, the coercive and therefore essentially loveless nature of the control remains the same, whether the bosses call themselves “company director” or “civil servants.” The only difference between these two kinds of oligarchical rulers is that the first derive more of their power from wealth, than from position within a conventionally respected hierarchy, while the second derive more power from position than from wealth.
Upon this fairly uniform groundwork of loveless relationships are imposed others, which vary widely from one society to another, according to local conditions and and local habits of thought and feeling. Here are a few examples:
– contempt and exploitation of coloured minorities living among white majorities,
– or, of coloured majorities governed by minorities of white imperialists.
– hatred of Jews, Catholics, [Mormons], Free Masons or any other minority whose language, habits, appearance or religion happens to differ from those of the local majority.
And the crowning superstructure of uncharity is the organized lovelessness of the relations between state and sovereign State – a lovelessness that expresses itself in the axiomatic assumption that it is right and natural for national [and international] organizations to behave like thieves and murderers, armed to the teeth and ready, at the first favorable opportunity, to steal and kill.” – Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy, 1945; p. 95

And Trump is doing everything he can behind the scenes to ensure it continues.
