This idea became of central importance to the modern architects who followed Wright, such as Mies Van Der Rohe, and even the post-modernists, such as Frank Gehry.

At one time or another his work and influence have been blamed for everything from urban decay to the continued vigor of American capitalism,” as New Criterion editor Roger Kimball explained in a 1989 book review. http://mentalfloss.com/article/77050/9-minimalist-facts-about-architect-mies-van-der-rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (/miːs/ MEESS; German: [miːs]; born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies; March 27, 1886 – August 17, 1969) was a German-American architect.[1] He was commonly referred to as Mies, his surname. Along with Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture.

Mies was a director of the Bauhaus, a seminal school in modern architecture.[2] After Nazism's rise to power, and with its strong opposition to modernism (leading to the closing of the Bauhaus itself), Mies went to the United States. He accepted the position to head the architectural school at the Illinois Institute of Technology, in Chicago.

He was also one of the founders of the architectural association Der Ring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Ring [leads to Steiner]

His significant projects in the U.S. include in Chicago and the area: the residential towers of 860–880 Lake Shore Dr, the Chicago Federal Center complex, the Farnsworth House, Crown Hall and other structures at IIT; and the Seagram Building in New York.

The Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Archive, an administratively independent section of the Museum of Modern Art's [MoMA] department of architecture and design, was established in 1968 by the museum's trustees.

Case Study: Ritual Abuse In Bartlesville, Oklahoma by @9217

Bartlesville is unique in Oklahoma because it is unusually wealthy. It was founded on oil money, and the Petroleum company Phillips 66 was headquartered there for decades... The abuse ring in Bartlesville is ongoing. It's not only a pedophilia network, or a trafficking network, or a place where CIA experiments take place. It is specifically a site of ritualistic abuse which is ingrained in the town's power structure. It's not necessarily Satanic, but it is a location where cult related ritual abuse takes place. This is important because it's such a small ecosystem of a town, that it provides a good example of what locations where ritual abused take place look like.
