### SHOW NOTES:

> The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W\[oodrow] W\[ilson]. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis.

> President Franklin D. Roosevelt, [Letter to Col. Edward Mandell House](https://archive.org/details/fdrhispersonalle0000roos/page/373/mode/1up), Nov. 21, 1933.

> “All the obstacles and difficulties, which attended every great, public and popular measure, arose not from those who were out of place: they were formed, improved and supported by that invisible influence I have mentioned, and by the industry of those very dependants; first by secret treachery; then by official influence; afterwards in public councils. A long train of such practices has at length unwillingly convinced me, that there is something within the Court greater than the King himself.”

> William Pitt, Prime Minister of Great Britain, [speech in the House of Lords](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/19218/19218-h/19218-h.htm) on 2 March 1770 (popularized by William Godwin as “power behind the throne”)

> “By the ‘Establishment’ I do not mean only the centres of official power — though they are certainly part of it — but rather the whole matrix of official and social relations within which power is exercised.”

>

> Henry Fairlie, “[Political Commentary](https://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/23rd-september-1955/5/political-commentary).” *The Spectator*, Sep. 23, 1955.

> “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

>

> President Dwight D. Eisenhower, “[Farewell Radio and Television Address to the American People](https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/dwightdeisenhowerfarewell.html),” Jan. 17, 1961.

And then, of course, there’s everyone’s least favourite conspirator, Zbig:

> “I don’t believe in this notion of some sort of secret societies controlling people, but of course in any political system there are sort of over-the-table and under-the-table arrangements.”

>

> Zbigniew Brzezinski, “[Q\&A with Zbigniew Brzezinski](https://www.c-span.org/program/american-history-tv/qa-with-zbigniew-brzezinski/172293),” Mar. 27, 2007.
