“The Establishment”
In the late 1800’s, the core of “The Establishment” combine are the moguls who control the oil (John D. Rockefeller), banking ( JP Morgan) and steel, (Andrew Carnegie) industries . They ran their empires independently until they realized it was of mutual benefit to work together instead of separately. The collective goal was “World Domination” by creating a functioning shadow entity of financial and economic power independent of law and government. This entity would manifest as an active principle working from within superior levels of cooperation through capitalism, commerce and industry.
They had agreed that in order to compete in the world economy the US needed a new system to restore the social order and law. They did not trust the corrupt and unstable democratic system which was now in place. It wasn’t capable nor efficient enough to handle this new era of economy and government without bias. It was their own resources and power that had brought the US economy through some difficult times. Although they felt their objective was for the greater good, their intentions are clouded in mystery and conspiracy. The modernization of economy and government through slave labor, aggressive monopolies, the chloroforming of public opinion was difficult to conceal.
However, as individuals and journalist saw beyond the illusion of how an oppressive system was emerging. Their competitors began to speak-out and flood the press with ideas and concerns beyond the deliberately staged propaganda of “the Establishment.” For example, one journalist wrote, “Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of manufacture are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watched so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak the truth above their breath, when they speak the truth above their breath, they speak in condemnation of it. They fear this level of deception and collusion as an elaborate secret design with the passage of laws to the fact that the United States had been under domination of what he calls a “board of directors” of big interests that have advised the government.”
