The Invisible Government

The author argues that an interlocking network of tax-exempt organizations, policy councils, foundations, corporate interests, media institutions, unions, and civic and academic groups exercise covert influence over federal policymaking, tracing links from wartime coordination to postwar continuity of those policies. The work catalogs groups and meetings, examines mechanisms of influence—propaganda, financial ties, advisory councils and communications control—and claims these channels limit electoral change while promoting internationalist and centralized policies. It presents historical examples and organizational lists, analyzes motives and methods, and concludes with recommendations for public awareness and action to restore democratic accountability.
