This fascist project is coming to fruition now after 50 years in the planning - 1971 to be more accurate, with the Powell Memorandum.

Next came David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission; most of Carter's cabinet came from TriCom.

All because the 1960s gave the rich nightmares involving guillotines.

The oligarchs were terrified by the mobilization of the left
in the 1960s: Huntington's so-called “excess of democracy”.
They planned counter-institutions to delegitimize &
marginalize critics of capitalism & imperialism.

They bought the allegiances of the two ruling political
parties. They imposed obedience to neoliberalism within
academia, government agencies & the press.

They neutered the liberal class & crushed popular
movements. They set the FBI on anti-war protestors, civil
rights, Black Panthers, American Indian Movement, Young
Lords & other groups that empowered the disempowered.
They broke labor unions, leaving 90% of the workforce
without union protections. Critics of capitalism &
imperialism, eg, Chomsky & Ralph Nader, were blacklisted.
The campaign, laid out by Lewis Powell Jr in his

1971 memorandum titled “Attack on American Free
Enterprise System,” set into motion the creeping corporate
coup d'etat, which five decades later, is complete.

The differences between the two ruling parties on
substantive issues — such as war, tax cuts, trade deals &
austerity — has become indistinguishable.

An 'excess of democracy': How corporations killed the campus

In 1971, a small band of "forgotten" businessmen fought off the enemy – radical academics et al – and won the day… and the future.

Why & how this fascist takeover?

US oligarchs had always existed, but, until the 1970s, they tolerated some democracy.

The four simultaneous uprisings of the 60s gave them nightmares involving guillotines, so they launched this now culminating fascist project.

The Powell memo of 1971 was the launch pad. Rockefeller founded TriCom to dismantle the "excess of democracy" of the 1960s.

The billionaires called it an "excess of democracy", & they worked out how to defeat it:

THE PLAN

In 1975, Samuel P. Huntington said the "excess of democracy" was caused by mass education in the 1960s.

It followed that education had to be de-democratised. Along with the media.
