"Inverted totalitarianism, unlike classical totalitarianism, does not revolve around a demagogue or charismatic leader. It finds expression in the anonymity of the Corporate State. It purports to cherish democracy, patriotism, and the Constitution while manipulating internal levers."

"Seek first to understand, then to be understood." -Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Unity and Holy Understanding”
