From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
In today's (7/6/11) interview with Don Siegelman, I believe Thom was correct in suppressing the term TREASON because it over-emphasizes the intent--although the argument can certainly be made--of what has taken place in our country.TREASON is a deliberate over-throw of our constitution and our government. I have groped for some time with what term we should use to properly characterize this subversive intent that those who wish to effect as an extreme re-structuring of our society for personnel benefit is... and I believe that term--which became abundantly clear to me today--is, SEDITION. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense. The other term I would apply to our present circumstance, which has been willfully perpetrated on "WE THE PEOPLE", would be the term PERDITION. Perdition is the state of final ruin; loss of the soul, DAMNATION; the future state of the wicked. This would aptly describe where we are headed if we do not steer a different course for ourselves.
