Their POV is that we're a country comprised of cattle, managed to benefit a small minority. With control of media/finance, it's easy to manipulate and direct the great masses of people.
Goebbels' favorite author laid it all out - he happened to head up the US WWI propaganda campaign:
If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.
Yeah, I know. GREAT quote. Thanks, semantic. I had not seen that one before.
