A massive financial crime is harming the United States. The crime makes a hoax out of corporate governance, destroys firms, deprives society of innovations, and robs Americans of their savings. It may be bad enough to cause the collapse of the financial system. The institutions that should stop it have been corrupted (”captured”) by the criminals doing it. These captured institutions include the SEC as well as the financial press, which has remained so willfully blind it borders on a cover-up. Dots are being connected in the world of social media, but the same criminals who are behind the scam are manipulating social media to forestall the day of popular epiphany.

And yes, I know this all sounds like a bad Sandra Bullock movie.

I have created Deep Capture to bypass the captured institutions mediating our republic’s discourse. The Table of Contents to your right lists the chapters of Deep Capture. Each chapter contains essays arranged in proper logical order, with the easiest material up front and less-accessible material further back. Please read no further into any chapter than your own desire for detail demands (I plant signposts to guide readers whose preferences for detail differ). If you read far enough into each chapter you will see the Big Picture that is otherwise beyond my power to convey.

To start, please click on “Introduction: An Overview of Deep Capture” and work your way forward.

Rock on,
