Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A half-century ago, a deliberate corporate counter-revolution declared war on workers and American democracy. We are living in the aftermath. In From Reagan to Rollerball, political strategist James J. Devine traces the alarming arc from the democratic promise of the mid-twentieth century to its systematic betrayal. Drawing on Thomas Piketty's foundational framework of the "trifunctional order"-the recurring historical alliance between martial rulers and intellectual elites-Devine reveals how modern hyper-capitalism dismantled the Golden Age of working-class politics. Using the infamous 1971 Lewis Powell Memorandum and Norman Jewison's dystopian 1975 film Rollerball as sharp analytical lenses, this book exposes how corporate power captured regulatory agencies, flooded politics with dark money, and built a massive entertainment apparatus to keep a demobilized public distracted while the economy was hollowed out. Devine demonstrates that the seemingly chaotic theater of modern politics is actually a stable, collaborative orchestration between the Mercantile Right and the Brahmin Left. While trading rhetorical blows over cultural battlegrounds, both elite factions quietly close ranks to protect the underlying corporate machinery, leaving the working class completely unrepresented. Divided into five meticulous sections, From Reagan to Rollerball provides a comprehensive autopsy of American democratic erosion: Part One: The Architecture of Power explores the ancient historical origins of inequality regimes, the unique democratic interlude of the New Deal's "Golden Age," and the drafting of the corporate declaration of war in 1971.Part Two: The Execution of the Plan traces the real-world deployment of this strategy through the rise of Reaganomics and the subsequent structural assault on organized labor.Part Three: The Fracture and Its Consequences charts the statistical and political shifts of the 1990s and 2000s, showing how the mainstream left abandoned its working-class base in favor of the professional classes, passing destructive free-trade agreements and sweeping financial deregulation.Part Four: The Dystopian Machinery exposes the modern apparatus of social control-revealing how a hyper-consolidated corporate entertainment state functions as an intentional distraction to consume public consciousness.Part Five: The Reckoning confronts our present precipice, mapping out how the current system accelerates toward complete corporate governance, and outlining the rigorous institutional organization required to force a genuine democratic revival.This is not a traditional left-vs-right narrative. It is a clear-eyed expose of a rigged system where citizens have been reduced to passive spectators of a theater managed by competing elites. Incisive, urgent, and unflinching, From Reagan to Rollerball is a vital blueprint for understanding our current political precipice-a rally cry for what a genuine democratic revival requires. An Urgent Call for Collective AwakeningThis book does not end in despair. With a masterful foreword provided by acclaimed human rights advocate Steven Donziger, From Reagan to Rollerball emphasizes that while our democratic institutions are severely compromised and hollowed out, they are not yet fully destroyed. The corporate trajectory is accelerating, and the clock is running out-but the ultimate path forward remains an open choice. Written in a style that is analytically rigorous yet deeply accessible, Devine offers an essential guide for workers, organizers, and everyday citizens. It provides the clarity needed to see past the noise of contemporary media spectacles, decode the real class war, and reclaim the stolen promise of democratic self-governance.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A nation's darkest hour. A general's impossible choice. And the only weapon that could save them both.In the autumn of 2026, America is at war with Iran. The bombs have fallen. The Strait is closed. And in a basement beneath Tehran, a dying general launches the most audacious intelligence operation in modern history-an operation that will place fifty-two operatives inside the American homeland, poised to strike.But what they carry is not what anyone expects.In a dry cleaners in Ohio, a family of Iranian immigrants who have spent nineteen years building an American life receives a phone call they prayed would never come. In a cubicle at Langley, a veteran intelligence officer named Marion Voss notices a word in an intercepted message that no one else can see. And in a brownstone in Washington, a president whose authority is built on fear and grievance faces the one thing he cannot tolerate: being laughed at.THE DEMONSTRATION is a work of political fiction that asks the question history has never answered: when the trigger is in your hand, what stays it Based on documented historical events-from the 1953 CIA coup that toppled Iran's democracy to the Iran-Contra arms deals, the downing of Iran Air Flight 655, the abandoned JCPOA nuclear agreement, and the unprovoked war that followed-this novel imagines a moment of reckoning, and projects forward into a plausible near-future conclusion to an ongoing war. What happens when an adversary with every reason to destroy America chooses to teach the world an important lesson-and proves it, in plain sight, on our own soil Drawing on James J. Devine's years as a political strategist, The Demonstration is both a gripping thriller and a profound meditation on power, truth, and what happens when a nation's intelligence apparatus can no longer recognize the truth when it sees it.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Courage and Consequences: Profiles of conscience, risk, and retaliation in this world during the Twenty-First Century by James J. Devine is a timely and provocative work that updates the framework of John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage for an era of unprecedented state power, corporate retaliation, and digital surveillance. Devine argues that modern systems of power-governmental, corporate, legal, and technological-have industrialized the instruments of consequence. Dissenters today face not merely electoral defeat or social exile but imprisonment, financial ruin, extradition, and the weaponization of legal systems against them. The book profiles six categories of courageous actors-government whistleblowers, press freedom defenders, environmental and human rights advocates, defenders of democratic institutions, public officials who broke with their own party, and ordinary people showing collective courage in healthcare, election work, immigration, and conflict zones. It seeks to honor people around the world in a new century and about subjects JFK could not have foreseen just 70 years ago. Written for readers concerned with civil liberties, press freedom, and the health of democratic institutions, Courage and Consequences serves as both a warning about the concentration of power and an argument for the ongoing necessity of conscience-driven defiance and dissent. It embraces the difficulty of judging contested subjects while insisting that the courage to act-whatever history's final verdict-deserves recognition. ABOUT THE AUTHORJames J. Devine is a political strategist and writer who has been called "unbalanced" by Tucker Carlson. New Jersey state Senator Joe Cryan-who used government computers to send 150+ emails to a lobbyist asking for twisted sexual sadomasochistic bondage fantasies during taxpayer-funded working hours-called Devine, "a sleaze ball, the worst in politics." Convicted Bridgegate mastermind David Wildstein-who closed the George Washington Bridge for retribution-routinely describes Devine as a "political gremlin". For three decades, the much-maligned journalist and activist has published New Jersey's oldest newspaper in continuous circulation and continues to fight for truth, justice, and the American way as he endeavors to stop Trump, fix the economy, and save the world.
