This review is from: The Devil's Marriage: Break Up the Corpocracy or Leave Democracy in the Lurch (Paperback)

Gary Brumback's book "The Devils's Marriage: Break Up the Corpocracy or Leave Democracy in the Lurch" is much more than a warning that powerful corporations have taken over our political system and that the middle class is on the verge of extinction. It is also a handbook for political action, for those who wish to fight for a government that is responsible to the people, not to corporations.

In Part Three "Unleashing Democracy Power: The Possibilities" Brumback discusses in detail how people can organize and take back their government. He points out that we must act soon, else democracy, in any true sense of the word, will cease to exist. What is most refreshing about the book is the practical organizing procedures Brumback presents, procedures that if followed would allow us to fight the powerful corporations that now dominate our government.

I have read dozens of books detailing how our government has been invaded and taken over by corporate powers, but this is the first book that has given me hope that these powers can be successfully fought. Brumback gives his e-mail address towards the end of the book and ask his readers for suggestions.

Gary Brumback has given us the tools we need to fight for a government of the People, by the People, and for the People. It is now up to us to use these tools.

My website, http://www.democracypowernow.com/ gives a good overview of the book.

Congress/White House debt ceiling talk --it's all babble

Lower the bad debt from tax havens and endless, winless wars and raise the good debt from rebuilding America. Bad debt benefits the wealthy and war profiteers. Good debt benefits the general welfare, one of the purposes of America's  creation as stated in the Constitution. 

Thought for today

The corpocracy is a kleptocracy that has stolen our democracy from us, along with many Americans' jobs and adequate standard of living.

Memorial Day Cliches

Let's honor our fallen veterans without mouthing tired cliches like, "Remember the price of freedom."

Let's remember the horrible price of war and its legacy, more war.

War is exactly what the corpocracy propagandizes with the help of mindless cliches.

What is a conservative/progressive?

A person who wants to keep what's right and change what's wrong. If most Americans were conservative/progressives America would be a much better, more peaceful nation.

Why isn't the U.S. a member of the International Criminal Court

If the U.S. were a member of the International Criminal Court, the supreme ruler of law on earth, how many U.S. presidents and other politicians would be indicted as war criminals? Several come to my mind.

Obama with the forked tongue

When Obama recently spoke in London and addressed the Israel/Palestinian stalemate he said this:

“We fight an enemy that respects no law of war, we will continue to hold ourselves to a higher standard — by living up to the values and the rule of law that we so ardently defend… We will proceed with humility… Ultimately, freedom must be won by the people themselves… But we can and must stand with those who so struggle.”

Israel and the U.S. are two of the countries that have never signed onto the International Criminal Court. It oversees an international rule of law.

Why hasn't the U.S. ever become a member of this court? My answer later.
