“Fear is what makes otherwise intelligent people place blind faith in
leaders undeserving of their trust, it is what makes us want to believe
in fairy tales of good versus evil, and what makes us passively accept
severe curtailments of our liberties. By helping us understand how fear
is being actively cultivated and manipulated by the current
administration, Hijacking Catastrophe stands to become an explosive and
empowering information weapon in this decisive year in U.S. history.”
