Thomm's last sentence / prediction turned out to be a profound truth. Scary

1. It's sad this video has so few views on youtube

Hope posting it here helps it take off to enlighten the darkness.

2. Thom Hartman is not inline with Progressives when it comes to

struggle between oppression and freedom...mainly the situation in Gaza. That's why I don't listen to his radio show.

I know, it's pointy and controversial issue.But it needs be covered and talked about. DomocracyNOW with Emy Goodman does a great job covering both sides of the conflict.

4. That's absurd. You mean he doesn't say what you want him to say or cover it they way you want?

Thom is very balanced and if you have an issue with his coverage, have you called him to talk to him about it?

5. Wow. It was read wrong so it became law. How long until it is fixed?

7. As soon as we get a predominantly Liberal Supreme Court..

Think that will EVER happen???

Hartmann said that over 50% of all judges nowadays are members of the Federalist Society.

Their aim is to preserve and protect corporations....and that is all.

That membership alone should have disqualified Roberts...and the others who preceded him.

6. Hartmann is BRILLIANT! his words should be broadcast all over this country.

KO, Rachel Jon Stewart..anyone else who cares about this country needs to hear and repeat all that Thom Hartmann is saying..

I know that Hartmann has been discussing this for years!!

9. Thom is updating his book "Unequal Protection" used as a text in some classes

Unequal Protection
The Rise of Corporate Dominance and Theft of Human Rights

Unequal Protection is a book about how corporations are trying to hijack democracy – and what we can do about it.

In Unequal Protection, author Thom Hartmann tells a compelling, can’t-put-it-down story that tracks the history of the loss of democracy in America. It starts with the birth of the modern corporation with the founding of the East India Company in 1600, through the Boston Tea Party revolt against transnational corporate domination of the early American economy, the rise of corporations during the Civil War, the ultimate theft of human rights before the Supreme Court in 1886, and into the modern-day theft of human rights in the US and worldwide by corporate interests and the politicians they own.

“If you wonder why the corporate world constantly lurches from malaise to oppression to governmental corruption and back, Unequal Protection reveals the untold story. Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies.”
-Paul Hawken, author, Natural Capitalism
