“I can strongly recommend Jonathan Tepper’s The Myth of Capitalism, opening our minds to see the steep decline in competition in America in recent years and the growing concentration of economic power in fewer and fewer hands, in oligarchies with similarities to those in Russia and China.”
Dr. Harald Malmgren
“The problem with movies and books is they make evil look glamorous, exciting, when it’s no such thing. It’s boring and it’s depressing and it’s stupid. Criminals are all after cheap thrills and easy money, and when they get them, all they want is more of the same, over and over.
They’re shallow, empty, boring people who couldn’t give you five minutes of interesting conversation if you had the poor luck to be at a party full of them. Maybe some can be monkey-clever, some of the time, but they aren’t hardly ever smart.”
Dean Koontz
“Everyday I realize more and more that if the world is going to change at all, it is going to change through the healing of the victims. Abusers run the show, they insist on and instigate cover ups, they misuse their power, teach things falsely out of the desire to control but as the victims heal and get stronger, the abusers will not be able to hide behind the fog that they create.”
