Listen to "Cooper Lawrence Releases The Book Celebritocracy" on Spreaker. CELEBRITOCRACY: The Misguided Agenda of Celebrity Politics in a Postmodern Democracy (Posthill Press) is the most eye opening indictment of celebrity involvement in causes, politics and self-serving activism. Cooper Lawrence PhD, uses her expertise in research psychology to cull together renown stories of celebrity advocacy gone horribly wrong. Stories that were both grossly underreported, and even buried. Stories like: ● Do you remember Bob Geldof’s 1985 multivenue, worldwide concert “Live Aid”? Did you think the $127 million raised went to famine for Ethiopia? It didn’t. Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam turned the check over to the Russians in exchange for sophisticated weaponry with which he used to murder thousands of his own people. ● The Dodd-Frank legislation contained pork in the form of something called “Section 1502” that, thanks to actress Robin Wright and her cohorts, resulted in the death and unabashed poverty of millions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. ● CELEBRITOCRACY also uncovers: ○ How Brad Pitt’s (now dismantled) charity, the Make It Right Foundation, did more harm than good in the Lower Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina. ○ Why when Liberals get involved in politics they often fumble, while Republicans (ex: Ronald Regan) are wildly successful ○ How Kim Kardashian might be the greatest celebrity hypocrite in modern times when it comes to political advocacy
