POWER. INFLUENCE. A DIFFERENT AGENDA.
What if key U.S. laws, foreign policy decisions, and even wartime choices were not primarily shaped by the American people's interests, but by the priorities of a foreign government?
In Occupied Congress, David Velardo presents a meticulously documented investigation into how a foreign government-through lobbying, campaign finance, ideological networks, and intelligence entanglements-has exerted extraordinary influence over the United States Congress. Drawing on public records, government documents, and firsthand examples, this book reveals the mechanisms, the money, and the political consequences of a relationship that has reshaped American law, distorted democratic debate, and entangled the U.S. in endless conflict.
This is not a book about people, but about power-how it is acquired, used, and hidden in plain sight. Velardo applies a rigorous, transparent method to separate verified facts from contested claims, allowing readers to see the evidence clearly and judge for themselves.
Provocative, authoritative, and urgently relevant, Occupied Congress challenges readers to confront an uncomfortable question:
Who really writes America's laws?
"A compelling and necessary examination of one of the most consequential and least discussed forces in American politics." - Dr. Jeffrey Sachs
"This book does what real journalism should do-follow the money, ask the hard questions, and refuse to look away." - Tulsi Gabbard
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." - Thomas Jefferson
TRUTH MATTERS. DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON IT.
