We are mid-way into a take over of democracies by corporate oligarchs as this research report describes. In the United States nothing is going to stop this but a massive citizen uprising reflected in how people vote and how they demand their their politicians peform, starting with eliminating the Electoral College, adding four uncorrupt justices to the Supreme Court committed to fair and ethical judicial decisions, establishing a Supreme Court code of ethics overseen by a nonpolitical oversight committee, establishing a tenurre of 18 years.
