| Publisher Description: The Federal Octopus - A Prophetic Warning from 1933 A prequel to the rise of an ever expanding federal bureaucracy and our current constitutional crisis The Federal Octopus is a compelling narrative, painting a portrait of an ever expanding federal bureaucracy, worming its way into every aspect of public and private life. With panoramic sweep, a chronicle unfolds of the United States of America's slide from Constitutional self-reliance towards an indebted welfare state, massive public spending and consolidation of centralized federal powers. Through examples of graft, corruption, abuse of power and usurpation of Constitutional rights, a historical snap-shot is presented, one that parallels the opening years of the 21st Century. Brilliantly illuminating the clash of emergency and stability, this book demonstrates how the forces unleashed changed the face of American life and politics forever. Our call to action is to heed the words of Washington and Jefferson, to be ever vigilant, and as citizens, to resist the erosion of our unique Constitutional system and American way of life. |
