Democracide

Book excerpt: Democracide tells how the government is killing our democracy by using crime, terrorism and Mid-East wars as an excuse to curtain our freedoms and deconstruct the Constitution. This book reveals how Washington has focused our attention on foreign wars to hide our real problems at home--crime, illicit drugs, poverty, immigration, the outsourcing of jobs, irresponsible corporate governance, the wage gap, inadequate healthcare and substandard public education. Underlying these problems is the development of a criminological culture based on violence, guns and "winning" at all costs. By becoming a crisis factory and self-appointed world policeman, the U.S. has lost thousands of American lives, brought the government to the edge of bankruptcy and earned the hatred of millions abroad. Unlike moment-to-moment news bulletins or magazine articles and books focused on a single subject, Democracide pulls all these developments together coherently so that readers can connect the dots and see how the web of power is endangering America. Most important, Democracide tells what we can do to save our democracy, restore our traditional liberties and bring back government integrity--without amending the Constitution or revolution.
