Who Really Controls America’s Government?
Having established that there is an interlinking network of transnational corporations which control
global commerce, the next step toward establishing a true and non-illusory view of the world is to
demonstrate that these corporate powers are intertwined with the governments of nations. Indeed,
the prevailing form of government on Earth is Corporate Fascism. This is true whether one is
speaking in reference to the United States or to Russia, whether discussing the United Kingdom or
China. The outward appearance of national governments is largely a facade. To use an expression
from the previous chapter, it is “theater.” Even as the media has their “puppet theater,” so do the
governments of the nations have their “political theater.”
What is Corporate Fascism? In 1932 an essay was published by Benito Mussolini, the Italian
dictator, and Giovanni Gentile. The writing was titled La Dottrina del Fascismo (The Doctrine of
Fascism). In this essay the following statement appears.
“Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate
power.”
Some writers in discussing the evident collusion between governments and corporations have
declared what has arisen to be Fascism. Others define it as Corporatism. I have chosen to refer to it
as Corporate Fascism. The word Fascism derives from the Latin Fascis which describes a bundle
of rods attached to an axe. Fasces is the plural of Fascis. However, many English writers tend to use
“Fasces” for both singular and plural references. The Fascis was carried by a Roman magistrate as
a symbol of his authority.
