National Bioneers keynote presentation by Thom Hartmann

Introducing Thom Hartmann another one of the keynote speaker who will be present via pre-recording at our Bioneers Conference. As an author Thom sees how the lines between corporate power, billionaire interests, government authority, public “knowledge,” and how foreign influence have not just blurred — they’re vanishing. For Thorm this isn’t just a political issue; this is an emergency. When has any small group of private citizens held such sway over both domestic and foreign policy? For Thorm the America we once knew — where elected officials were accountable to voters rather than billionaires — is slipping away. This erosion of democracy is largely due to five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court ruling that political bribery equals “free speech,” allowing billionaires to flood our 2024 election with money. In truth, this long-developing alliance between American oligarchs and the Supreme Court marks a climactic corporate endgame to replace American democracy with plutocratic autocracy. Thorm asks: do we, the American people, still possess the power and will to challenge this oligarchic takeover? Yes, says Hartmann. This is a call to action.
