Tyranny of Psychopaths, Paperback by Cascadia, Janet, ISBN 1500535842, ISBN-13 9781500535841, Brand New, Free shipping in the USThis book is about those whose interest is in their own wealth and power at the expense of all else. They are members of all political parties; they are secular and religious. They have infiltrated all human organizations and institutions. They have risen to positions of power and caused organizations and institutions to become corrupt. They have no moral or ethical constraints. And in their pursuit of personal gain, they are looting the entire world. This is the tyranny of psychopaths. The world described in this book is one of social, political, and economic decline, yet it is also a world of opportunity for positive change. The events of this book take place over the course of one year. Six story lines follow people through formidable transformations. Each of them tells a story about his or her experiences of life under the tyranny of psychopaths. Sam is a computer engineer who was laid off but is determined to save as much as he can of his middle-class life for himself and his family. Ruth is a public school teacher whose school is closed but she continues to believe in and work for an evolutionary leap in human development. Hugo is a young man who abandons his college education because of the overwhelming debt and joins the anarchists. Everett is the son of a mega bank owner who decides he must destroy the economic system. Cedric is a man who joins the Army and goes to war in the Middle East; and when he returns, he takes up the cause of local activists. And finally, Howard is the brother of a televangelist who goes on a quest for answers to tough questions. Each of these people finds his or her way to a place called Occutopia where the Occupy movement has taken up residence in an empty high school in Portland, Oregon. Occutopia is a place where those who have fallen out of the economic system come together to organize and create a better world. They take the beginning steps toward addressing the root cause of the overwhelming problems we face – the tyranny of psychopaths.
