A vital in-depth dissection of the highjacking of the weakened US democracy by the devious plutocracy and their hanger-ons by Lee Camp, Chris Hedges, and Ralph Nader.

PAUL C ROBERTS—The question before us is whether the Western peoples are too brainwashed, too firmly locked in The Matrix, to exhausted to stand up and defend their freedom. Resistance is happening in France and Belgium, but the government that sold out Greece hasn’t been hung off of lamp posts. Americans are so brainwashed that they think Russia, China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Venezuela are their enemies when it is perfectly clear that their Enemy is “their” government in Washington.

JANICE KORTKAMP—As for its inventiveness and industry, Aleppo, or Halab as it’s called in Syria, has been the undisputed sovereign not just in Syria but the whole Middle East. From small factories owned and operated by families for generations to large scale modern industrial compounds, factories were producing everything from medicines to automobiles (cars are being manufactured again in Syria now). Aleppo’s manufacturing was famous for its quality and quantity of output. Thousands and thousands of factories there were responsible for the lion’s share of Syria’s GDP.
