The Global Dominance Group: 9/11 Pre-Warnings & Election Irregularities in Context

By Peter Phillips, Bridget Thornton and Celeste Vogler
The leadership class in the US is now dominated by a neo-conservative group of
people with the shared goal of asserting US military power worldwide. This global
dominance group, in cooperation with major military contractors, has become a powerful
force in world military unilateralism and US political processes. This research study is an
attempt to identify the general parameters of those who are the key actors supporting a
global dominance agenda and how collectively this group has benefited from the events
of September 11, 2001 and irregularities in the 2004 presidential election. This study
examines how interlocking public private partnerships, including the corporate media,
public relations firms, military contractors, policy elites, and government officials, jointly
support a US military global domination agenda. We ask the traditional sociological
questions regarding who wins, who decides, and who facilitates action inside the most
powerful military-industrial complex in the world.

A long thread of sociological research documents the existence of a dominant
ruling class in the United States, which sets policy and determines national political
priorities. The American ruling class is complex and inter-competitive, maintaining itself
through interacting families of high social standing who have similar life styles, corporate
affiliations and memberships in elite social clubs and private schools.1

The American ruling class has long been determined to be mostly selfperpetuating
2 maintaining its influence through policy-making institutions such as the
National Manufacturing Association, National Chamber of Commerce, Business Council,
Business Roundtable, Conference Board, American Enterprise Institute, Council on
Foreign Relations and other business-centered policy groups.3 These associations have
long dominated policy decisions within the US government.

C. Wright Mills, in his 1956 book on the power elite, documents how World War
II solidified a trinity of power in the US that comprised corporate, military and
government elites in a centralized power structure motivated by class interests and
working in unison through "higher circles" of contact and agreement. Mills described
how the power elite were those “who decide whatever is decided” of major consequence.4
