"The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president
in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet no matter
who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured that the
new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent
underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep
with the police state in all matters, public and private.
Indeed, it really doesn’t matter what you call them—the 1%, the elite, the
controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state,
the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—so long as you
understand that no matter which party occupies the White House in 2017,
the unelected bureaucracy that actually calls the shots will continue to
do so." --John W Whitehead 04.13.15 [Rutherford Institute]
