Constitutional lawyer Whitehead has gathered lots of good information (with 44 pages of footnotes!) documenting the increasing militarization and intrusiveness of the local, state and federal police forces and the military/industrial/media surveillance industry, and how we are on the cusp of a complete fascist state (a system of 'national socialism' where government and corporations are unified). All that's needed now to make it complete is a charismatic leader.

The one fault here is the apparently rushed editing which leads to sometimes repetitious writing, but what he's saying bears frequent repeating, as obviously most Americans have remained oblivious to the imminent threat that is clear and present from our own government. This may sound like a paranoid vision of reality, and while Whitehead does sometimes appear to be resorting to hyperbole, what he's saying is all true and quickly moving from the rare and extreme to the norm.
