Wanna Know Why We the People Really Don't Know Squat?

48. isn't that one of the corporate talking points?

That "we the people don't know squat"?

Or maybe it is part of the "alternative" conventional wisdom.

Some of this article is very interesting. Some of it reads like a silly conspiracy theory “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”

A phrase like "the true ruling power of our country" seems quite silly and conspiratorial to me. Like their is a cabal of twenty or something, sitting in a board room and somehow "running" things. Like millions of us are not going through our daily lives making millions of choices, but are instead being brainwashed and guided (somehow).
