About the âpermanent establishmentâ
Mark Penn is exemplary of what US political insiders refer to as a person of <b>the âpermanent establishment,â the shadowy institutions and insiders behind the curtains who really determine critical policy issues and shape the choices gullible voters then are given to âdemocratically choose among.â </b>
It has been referred to by strategists since the time of Edward Bernays as the âillusion of choice.â Penn is above political party, serving the interests of what some call the permanent establishment. As a case in point, he also is CEO of the influential global public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller, which includes among clients the largest US mortgage lender, Countrywide Financial and Blackwater Inc. the Republican led mercenary security firm that has been accused of repeated killings of innocent Iraqi civilians. Pennâs firm was to make sure the âimageâ of such clients remained positive to the US public.
