"In addition to deception and secrecy, the corporatocracy thrives on lethargy. It counts on us to remain passive, to accept its advertisements as gospel, to buy unconsciously and allow it to continue destroying our planet...
You personally have a great deal of power; it is essential that you allow your passions to rise up, channel them in ways that compliment your talents, and take action. The course you choose must come from your heart, not the dictates of anyone else. You simply need to step forward."
-John Perkins, The Secret History of American Empire
