[ ]( # ) Hey all you wild hearts out there,
[ ]( # )  
The official history of America is one every kid knows.  
[ ]( # )  
It’s a story of America triumphant. Of its rise after World War II to become the richest and most powerful country in history. The land of the free because of the brave. An inspiring model for the whole world to emulate.  
[ ]( # )  

The unofficial story of America is quite different.  
[ ]( # )  
It begins the same way — in the revolutionary cauldron of colonial America — but then it takes a turn. A bit player in the official story becomes critically important. This player turns out to be not only the provocateur of the revolution, but in a sense its saboteur.  
[ ]( # )  
The corporation.  
[ ]( # )  
Today, corporations freely buy each other’s stocks and shares. They lobby legislators and bankroll elections. They manage the flow of information, set our industrial, economic and cultural agendas, and grow as big as they damn well please.  
[ ]( # )  
The unofficial history of America, which continues to be written, is not a story of rugged individualism and heroic personal sacrifice in the pursuit of a dream. It’s a story of democracy derailed, of a revolutionary spirit suppressed, and of a once-proud people reduced to servitude.  
[ ]( # )  
Is American history doomed to be forever written by dirty-dealing winners? Or can we the people put it onto a sane sustainable path towards a future that computes?

[ ]( # ) [ NEW! Issue #155: A New Relationship Between People and Corporations ]( [link removed] )
[ ]( # )  
We the People have lost control. Corporations, these legal fictions we ourselves created two centuries ago, now rule over us. And we accept this as the normal state of affairs.  
[ ]( # )  
In [ our latest issue ]( [link removed] ), we lay out a plan to take back our sovereignty, restore our dignity . . . and make corporations work for us, not the other way around.

[ Who Will Win the Planetary Endgame? ]( [link removed] )  

Without intervention, the face-off could well spill over into an all-out war.

Jeff’s no longer the richest guy on Earth. But he’s surely one of the most obscene.
