The following satirical quote from this book, first published in 2011 and now in its 3rd updated edition, is even more true today than ever before.
An
Open Letter To The American People
From:
The elected American government
1600
Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington,
DC
To:
The
American People
54321
Junction Highway, Anytown, USA
Dear
American population,
We
are your new unelected government, and we have secretly been in
control ever since November 22, 1963. You may continue to elect
anybody you want so long as you all understand that we alone control
your country and your destiny from behind the scenes. This is a
hijacking, so keep your head down, don’t make waves, and you
probably won’t get hurt. The Kennedy brothers and Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. are examples of what might happen if anyone steps
too far out of line. Oh, and don’t forget to spend every dollar you
earn on all the crap we’ve been selling you for generations. We’ll
keep you broke, powerless, unhealthy and stupid for your entire
lifetimes just because we can. We don’t believe that any of you
were intended for anything more than that anyway, so everybody should
go ahead and take the easy way out by not fighting back, just as we
have
planned. That way your spirits will be forever broken and you’ll
never be able to muster the resources to take back your country.
Besides, we can and do obliterate anybody who dares to try and
challenge our authority, and we are building more and more prisons
each year to warehouse those who hate us. Do as you’re told and
you’ll get to live a mediocre existence at best. We swear to keep
you from discerning this criminal conspiracy by flooding your senses
with meaningless and unbelievably stupid television shows, addictive
video games, deadly cigarettes, endless alcoholic beverages and
dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. That way, you will all be too stoned
to care what happens to you. Thank you kindly for your attention. You
may now resume your normal dull routine.
Disrespectfully
yours,
Ulysses

There's something
happening here, What it is ain't
exactly clear
There's a man with a
gun over there, Telling me I've got to
beware
I think it's time we
stopped, children, What's that sound
Everybody look what's
going down --- the Buffalo
Springfield, 1968
