Yes. I had never heard of the Thyssen's before I came across this. HUGE conglomerate. JP Morgan/Chase, automotive steel, now ThyssenKrupp, All of it. The Roberts-Obama wink and nod after Citizen's United. They knew they had cemented a key piece of what they needed to do for the fundamental transformation. One of the final pieces of a grand strategy that had been followed for a century or more in the US, further back Frankfurt School. But even further back at the nation's founding, John Jay's "Those who own the country ought to govern it." In the aftermath of the contentious struggle to get the Bill of Rights into the US Constitution. Knowing the ruling class would eviscerate it over time with linguistic gymnastics. Freedom is Slavery. War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength. The living, breathing Constitution vs. the Originalists. Positive Law over Natural Law.

Another C-SPAN clip. Sen. Biden vs. Judge Thomas, 1991 confirmation hearing.
