The banking families and owners of the largest legacy corporations—the extraordinarily wealthy who have exercised behind-the-scenes influence over Congress for more than a century—are not genuinely patriotic. They invoke patriotism only when it serves to mobilize middle America for overseas wars that advance their interests. They do not hold true allegiance to this country.
To these families and their allies in Congress, the United States functions primarily as an economic zone. Their overriding concern is access to cheap labor, whether imported or domestic. Whenever American workers achieve a better standard of living through generations of effort, corporations respond by bringing in lower-wage labor from abroad. Meanwhile, these elites reside on vast private estates spanning thousands of acres, protected by private security, while maintaining secure properties and bunkers around the world—often holding citizenship in multiple countries.
These networks have cultivated deep influence within intelligence agencies and positioned operatives inside Congress to serve the interests of their banks and corporations. They have constructed layered systems of influence across government, media, and industry. Concerns have long been raised about ties between certain Supreme Court justices and these circles. Historical examples include the Bush family’s entanglement of intelligence work, politics, and corporate power, along with Dick Cheney’s well-documented relationship with Halliburton. This particular network has been associated with Senate leaders such as John Thune and Mitch McConnell, Senator Lindsey Graham, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, among others. Parallel networks operate within the Democratic Party as well. These families have spent over a century shaping the system for their own benefit.
Every true patriot—Republican or Democrat—should unite to remove from office those who place special interests above the nation. When their position is threatened, these figures deliberately manufacture division and sectarian conflict to retain power. The leadership of both major parties has become captured by these influences, serving their patrons and themselves rather than the citizens they claim to represent.
They have contributed to the erosion of this country and remain in power largely because they use media and government institutions to sow division among the people. It is time for Americans to reject these manufactured conflicts and hold the entrenched interests accountable.
