tl;dr: Author claims the Bilderburgers and other secretive groups control everything. Disappointing article, and it looked promising in the beginning. Too full of conspiracy theories and straw men, position taking, lots of framing and ad-hominem attacks. Strauss studied with Heidegger, corporations are waging warfare on American citizens, dividing media into "corporate media" and "democratic media." I had to quit reading because the arguments were so poor. It's the kind of document that takes a few hard truths and mixes them in with so much framing and rhetorical manipulation that by the end I was sorry I wasted time on it. Don't have time for a point-by-point takedown of it, but wanted to offer warning to anyone else before taking on the 52 page pdf. Consider reading "Who Falls for Conspiracy Theories?" instead: http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/falls-conspiracy-theories-98243 http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/falls-conspiracy-theo...
