“The great corporation which employed you
lied to you, and lied to the whole country-from top
to bottom it was nothing but one gigantic lie.
The whole country was a lie; its freedom was a lie,
a snare for pauper working men; its prosperity
was a lie of rich employers, its justice
was a lie of grafting politicians”. Upton Sinclair
From his novel “The Jungle” written and published
in 1906 I believe. I suggest that anyone interested
in reading it obtain a copy of the original manuscript
published by Sharp Press in 2003. Check Internet.
I mention the above as Sinclair was forced to water
down his original account by the powers that were
if he ever hoped to be published.
What he wrote then can be observed today, in so
many parallel ways. I warn any potential peruser,
it is not a read for the faint of heart,
prepare to be depressed. Islander
