The late Dr. Huey P. Newton,
co-founder of the Black Panther Party, a brilliant thinker, pointed to an
invisible elite which controls U.S. foreign policy in the People's name,
but in their owninterests.Writing   more...in 1974, Newton described them as
"a group wieldingpredominant power in the American polity." They care
not one whit for American ideals arguesNewton, for they "impose [their]
own interpretation of the American tradition onto the framework of policy
making in the state." Newton reasons this group, which he describes
as "expansionist" and "militaristic" explains the paradox at the heart of
U.S. foreign policy, which states one thing, yet does another. [See "The
Huey Newton Reader," 7 Stories Press, 2002, p. 297.] Bush, with his
business degree, is attuned to that class; he, indeed, dances to their
tune. In 1974, Newton tagged the culprits as "the giant corporations and
financial institutions that dominate the Americaneconomy," [297] which
at that time were some 500 corporations, a small grouping of which held
the "highest concentration" of economic power known to history.
They exist still, just more powerful today than ever.  less
