The Elite Consensus: When Corporations Wield the Constitution
Financial and business corporations throw millions of dollars at think tanks, lobbyists and universities, exploiting writers and artists galore. Their assignment? To twist words, gnarl symbols, sell lies, whip people into line. The Elite Consensus fingers the American Enterprise Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Heritage Foundation, and many other "educational" corporations, which men of property have unleashed on this planet. The author shows how these corporate con artists teach us our history, elect our representatives, write our laws, define ideas and frame public policy debates. Originally published in 2000 by Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project as The Corporate Consensus.

I WON'T LIE TO YOU AND SAY I READ THIS BOOK. I DID NOT. I HAVE READ SO MANY LIKE IT I DON'T HAVE TO READ IT TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS. BIG BUSINESS IS IN FIRM CONTROL. OR IS IT ? YOU'RE RELATIONSHIP WITH A CORPORATION BEGINS AND ENDS AT THE CASH REGISTER ! IF YOU TURN DOWN AND TURN OFF THE CORPORATE NOISE MACHINES AND DO A LITTLE "DUE DILIGENCE" OF YOUR OWN YOU CAN DISCOVER MANY WAYS TO WIRE AROUND AMERICAN "CULTURE". YOU CAN INDEED HAVE MORE WITH LESS. *YOU MUST THINK AND DO FOR YOUR SELF. *YOU MUST KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE GOT ALONG BEFORE ALL THOSE CORPORATE "SOLUTIONS" FOR ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. *YOU MUST NOT LIVE WHERE IT GETS COLD IN THE WINTER. *YOUR "HOME TOWN" MUST HAVE A TRANSIT SYSTEM. *YOU MUST NOT OWN PROPERTY. *YOU MUST OWN A BICYCLE. *YOU MUST GET A BUS PASS EVERY MONTH. *YOU MUST KEEP YOUR BEER COLD AND YOUR CHIPS FRESH. *YOU MUST TRULY ENJOY NOT GIVING MONEY TO RICH PEOPLE. THE REAL REVOLUTION STARTS IN YOU OWN HEAD... STAY SMALL. STAY SIMPLE. STAY "POOR". STAY FREE ! P.S. I WRITE IN ALL CAPS CAUSE I LIKE IT. IF YOU LIKE CORPORATIONS AND WHAT THEY DO TO YOU KNOCK YOUR SELF OUT. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON. IF YOU DON'T THEN PULL YOUR HEAD OUT AND HAVE A LOOK AROUND.

I came across this, studying the origin of paper money and modern economics. The authors went through great technical effort and personal sacrifice to bring this to We The People. The Bibliography is nearly as long as the text to substantiate all facts. It details the corporate influences in what was once American Democracy. Get it, read it, share it. It will be banned if it becomes popular. It's THAT accurate.
