LOBBIED
How They Bought the Government
by James Johnson
Dedication
To everyone who ever believed this country worked the way it said it did, and to everyone who realized it didn’t, but refused to shut up anyway.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THIS BOOK OWES everything to the people who keep digging.
The reporters who follow the money,
the whistleblowers who risk their lives,
the watchdogs who bark when no one’s listening,
and the everyday citizens who aren’t fooled by flag-wrapped theft.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ IS THE author of over 200 books across history, power, ideology, and institutional myth. His work unmasks the machinery behind modern civilization, one rigged system at a time.
When he’s not writing, he’s studying how the world works, building better ones on paper, and lighting matches where the rot runs deepest.
