Who Controls America
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owning no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." - Theodore Roosevelt
While Washington politicians focus their attention on a Biden presidency, a dangerous cancer goes unnoticed and unanswered. Unelected malignant individuals surreptitiously whittle away our bank accounts, our hopes, and our dreams for a better and safer tomorrow. These opponents have been assaulting America relentlessly for over four decades. To make matters worse, the attackers are Americans. Their victims are school children, the poor, and the middle class. They work out of sight in secret rooms and hallowed halls. When they speak, they use the language of Patriots. But make no mistake, their goal is the same as the world dominance at the expense of the American middle-class.
What we think, what we are taught, what we are paid for our work, when and where we go to war, and who wins political office have all been staged by men and women we have never heard of. These stealthy elites have long waged clandestine battles for control of the American mind. Behavior modification wasn't developed just for school-aged children. For those who actually control America, they trade in deceit and sleight of hand. When exposed, their exploits reveal a hideous hidden agenda designed to impoverish most Americans.
Who Controls America unearths the secret games of exploitation and illuminates the world of covert partnerships created by unfamiliar ideologues designed to acquire most of the nation's wealth and power. In Who Controls America, Mullen shines a light on those who place greed, power, and profits above the interests of the American citizen and the pursuit of the American Dream. Politics, the economy, the educational system, trade, the stock market, and foreign policies are all controlled by small undisclosed groups. And they don't work for the interests of the everyday American citizen.
Can they be stopped? Who Controls America doesn't just expose those who battle for control of your life. Mullen shares actions the American middle-class can take to gain back control of our country and the American Dream that eluded so many of our citizens.
"The rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes." - former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter

About the author
Mark Mullen
27 books8 followersMark is an award-winning author born in Philadelphia and educated at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.
After spending 35 years as a leader in the public sector, Mark has turned his attention toward examining and writing on America's cultural and social issues.
His opinionated, muckraking style of writing exposes the underbelly of business and political practices. While he explores mainly American economics, business, education, and politics, Mark’s focus is on the difficulties of getting by in America, especially for the middle class. Sociological patterns underlying business, cultural, and political behaviors are analyzed through a critical, sarcastic, and sometimes humorous lens.
America, We Have the Country We Want, is a set of centrist observations and reflections intended to entertain and enlighten with commentary on some of today's most talked about social issues: business, education, society, religion & guns, and the media. Mark shares why he believes Americans are comfortable with the familiar, even when the familiar is bad for us.
Mark's newest book, America We Need a Raise examines America's disappearing middle class and offers a set of remedies to offset poor political and business decision making. Middle class income continues to shrink while the prices of commodities and services grow. Higher paying middle class skilled jobs have been replaced with low paying retail and service work. It doesn’t have to be this way. Mark’s proposed solutions could vastly improve the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans and their descendants while at the same time strengthen America’s economy.

Mullen has written a powerful treatise arguing that America is no longer a democracy but a government that is controlled by a small elitist group. Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, politicians, lobbyists and educational leaders care nothing about the masses of working people or their welfare. According to Mullen, government policies are determined and orchestrated to benefit the elites.
The author presents the history of the Federal Banking System, how Wall Street manipulated and gained control of Big Business, the process by which Congress and institutes of higher learning took control of the educational system, and how foreign policy got transferred into the hands of small, secret groups like the Council of Foreign Relations. He traces foreign policy decisions from the Truman Doctrine, the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict, Irag, and the growth of Al Qaeda.
Mullen backs his theories with evidence, but more importantly, at the end of each chapter, he presents a list of steps that he believes could be taken to restore power to the people. The book is packed with information, but the reader does not feel she is reading a textbook.
The author is persuasive and convincing, but whether the reader accepts or rejects his arguments, the book is a thought-provoking commentary on the situation in the United States today.

This explains the election loss of Trump, and why he was not allowed to suceed.
This book explains our current situation. The world is not as it seems. This is evidenced by the Presidency of Donald Trump.

Bold conclusions, undoubtedly, but the idea on college education that "training for an occupation or trade" is the principal function of a college degree is patent hogwash. No college graduate should get a degree in any discipline without having had instruction in American and World history, an exposure to literature; a course in philosophy emphasizing logic and systematic thinking techniques. What sort of intellectual life would it be for a CPA to only be able to discuss double entry bookkeeping with anyone because of having being been bereft of a taste of the humanities while earning his accounting degrees. The profession of engineering demands such a heavy concentration of the study of engineering related subjects but the blanket popular designation of all engineers is that they are nerdy. This is a convention rooted more in popular misgivings than reality, but the root of the situation is that engineers are generally deemed to lack the social graces and amenities a more liberal education provides. This is nothing against engineering students, it is a modest screed against science and engineering curricula which stint basic civilizing studies like history, language, arts and philosophies. Being adept in philosophy may never make you a nickel, but it will make you a more sensible, and dare it be said, a better educated person.

I was introduced to this information as a young woman. Married at 19 to a dairy farmer, we became aware of all of this through education from different farm organizations. . I began to realize that the farm problem, abortion on demand and Native American issue's. Could be traced back to at least if not before Abe Lincoln. It's all about the land. Who owns and who controls it. All of these fake crisis just as the author refers to and wars are created. Those of us in the know and in the middle of these actions were also harrassed,. Leader's of the NFO, American Ag movement, Right to Life and Native American leader's. My God one of the AIM leader's has sat in prison for over 40 yrs for a crime the FBI pinned on one man never to be let out. Held up before the world to teach Indians to keep quiet. He will die there.

This book gave me something to think on. I am no conspiracy theorist, nor does the author of the book seem to be one, and he says he is not, there are vast forces contriving to shape the world in a way that would benefit themselves. He brings up some of the roundtable groups of elites, which exist although they are the subjects of conspiracy theories. It might be these groups, other more generic groups such as the global banking cabal - which is getting smaller and smaller, and those who would run (communist) authoritarian regimes. Either way, notions of freedom and choice and being middle class and that anyone may improve their lot just isn't so.
It's not a matter of conservative/liberal divides. Those divides are just a distraction.

Excellent
The author identifies the institutions, think tanks and elites that wield excessive power over our daily lives and our country’s future. The groups, institutions and people have a very specific goal which is to control the destiny and wealth of the country and population. However, the efforts of these entities have been disastrous because their focus is one dimensional and lacking dynamic power to creat a viable society where all people have a chance at gaining some measure of success.
This book was very well written, concise and easy to grasp. I also liked that not only did the author point out issues and problems, he offered solutions which most books of this ilk do not do very often.
Highly recommended.

I liked many ideas in this book until he got to public education. Public education deserves scrutiny and criticism just like everything else. His educational solutions are far too simplistic as he fails to consider all the social problems schools have to address. He made some good points regarding college tuition and college for all. The one world order stuff is not believable. I kept an open mind and I really liked the information about corporations, but can’t go along with the rest.

Not Used in American History or Civics Classes
It is a shame that Mark Miller's book " Who Controls America " isn't used as required reading in high schools. It would certainly garner questions from students. Young people question everything. The argument for John Kennedy's assassination is pointed towards that government employees being involved and not Lee Harvey Oswald alone. That's the type of book is. You must decide what is true. I enjoyed it.

Controlling America
Excellent history of the federal reserve banking system. It also gives a brief review of the various groups involved in the political system and their impact on American wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Reveals details that are not taught in the public schools and universities of America.

It is sad
As Americans we have never been free. It is the worst possible capitalistic system in the world. We are divided in groups of
haves and have not. The difference between groups is that have note are doing all the work while the haves control all of the aspects of nation lives while enjoying the goods of working men's sweat.

Conspiracy or Consistency
Mullen writes what every patriotic American should read. This book is a documented expose of facts that can longer be accused of conspiracy. There are plans deliberately laid to benefit the few by weakening the many. Read it for yourself.

I am in no way a conspiracy theorist!
I not sure how I came to get this book when I was skimming Kindle Unlimited books to read, I just know the title caught my curiosity. Now, I have to say, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and I'm sure that a lot of people will call this book a conspiracy theory. However, I can't see how you can deny facts.
The statements I took time to look up were very true. I didn't even bother to look up statements made about education. Only because school changed from the time I went and my children and grandchildren attend/ed. When I was in school, we prayed to God, pledge the American & God's flags and Bible. We learned to pronounce letter sounds and were taught changes in sounds and sounded out words to read and write. My children and grandchildren were taught to remember words, then Covid hit. Where, my children can read, my younger grandchildren struggle due to covid. As homeschool became a must reading was tossed away. I taught phonics to my grandchildren. Now they are back in school with look/say and the kids are struggling.
My final thoughts, I have always said the top 1% run the world and are able to perpetrate the worlds most hideous crimes with zero accountability. Our own American history proves this. Not to mention, the small media coverage and a couple former persons' in a high ranking position treating females as nothing more than sex objects; and one did it publicly.
