A special privilege group – the very best people only, please – can use the Establishment as a mouthpiece, use its force. They can use mass news media. And with this they can remove rivals or dissenters or competition or minorities. Usually their motives are somewhat less than nice. They have their eye on big profits or someone else's property or some private monopoly obtained through government influence.

      Anyone who might be imagined to be a threat to such private special privilege is promptly blared at and lied about and ridiculed in the controlled mass news media and then covertly attacked by Establishment forces.

      It takes a fantastic amount of digging to find WHY some minority is being attacked. For the real private idea behind the Establishment attack is often not pleasant when exposed to view.

      To go back a ways in history: All Cromwell's yap about Catholics was probably just private effort by a few, using the government, to seize Catholic property. The lies and violence surrounding those times make it very difficult to get to what ACTUAL IDEA caused the terrible dictatorship of 17th century England. Those you read in the history books are only the propaganda lines of both sides. WHO started it to be able to grab Catholic property?

      For instance, I can't find out, despite vast reading, why the United States is fighting in Vietnam. What IDEA is really behind it?
