Our special guest is Corey D. Kaup (http://coreykaup.com/), president of Kaup Communications, a New York media production and consultancy firm established in 1983. Corey is an award winning filmmaker and journalist who has worked as a writer, actor, musician, composer, and photographer and is an expert in designing and solving problems for complex media technology systems. He is the author and publisher of the visionary philosophy of science, Nothingness Theory (http://www.nothingnesstheory.com/), and author and publisher of its first practical application, the 2012 eBook "Taking back America: An Immediate Solution to America's Economic, Political and Environmental Crises", available in Kindle format from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SQ3PME) and in ePub, mobi, and PDF editions from BookBaby (http://my.bookbaby.com/book/taking-back-america).

Corey describes his book as a call to action to enable us, the American people, to supply our own energy, revive our economy and re-institute democracy in America's failing political system, asserting that these three problems are inextricably interconnected and cannot be solved separately. The book outlines the steps needed to enable us to do this right now by establishing a decentralized economy in which we create our own jobs and political influence. The book shows how this will be accomplished by taking control of the real source of wealth and power: energy, water, and food, and is a blueprint for what we can do right now to create a healthy, diverse and decentralized economy of, by and for the American people.
