Quotes

- “The corporatocracy is not a conspiracy, but its members do endorse common values and goals. One of corporatocracy's most important functions is to perpetuate and continually expand and strengthen the system.”
- “People like me are paid outrageously high salaries to do the system's bidding. If we falter, a more malicious form of hit man, the jackal, steps to the plate. And if the jackal fails, then the job falls to the military.”
- “History tells us that unless we modify this story, it is guaranteed to end tragically. Empires never last. Everyone of them has failed terribly.
