The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

Here is a book on preserving liberty which can be appreciated by both right and left. The common view is that the fearful populist 'center' is the majority and the mainstream -- between right and left extremes. But what if the political map is incorrectly drawn? What if the more important dimension has been intentionally ignored by populist fear-mongering media?

If the more important dimension has fear and fascism at the bottom and courage and liberty at the top, then Naimi Wolf and Ron Paul are at the top and George Bush and Nancy Pelosi are at the bottom.

This excellent book will appeal to those who value courage and liberty.

This is a wake-up call to all patriotic Americans, which we all owe it to our country to read and heed!

Naomi Wolf lists ten steps to converting a democracy to a fascist dictatorship. In chapter 1, she writes: "Both Italian and German fascisms came to power legally and incrementally in functioning democracies; both used legislation, cultural pressure, and baseless imprisonment and torture to subordinate and control the individual, whether the individual supported the regime inwardly or not. Both were rabidly antidemocratic, not as a side sentiment but as the basis of their ideologies; and yet both aggressively used the law to pervert and subvert the law." In chapters 2 thru 11 Wolf describes in detail how the G.W. Bush administration has nearly completed the ten steps:

2. Invoke an External and Internal Threat
3. Establish Secret Prisons
4. Develop a Paramilitary Force
5. Surveil Ordinart Citizens
6. Infiltrate Citizens Groups
7. Arbitrarily Detain and Release Citizens
8. Target Key Individuals
9. Restrict the Press
10. Cast Criticism as "Espionage" and Dissent as "Treason"
11. Subvert the Rule of Law

THIS BOOK SHOULD BE IN EVERY HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND PUBLIC LIBRARY, along with Bill of Wrongs: The Executive Branch's Assault on America's Fundamental Rights, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, all of which cover further aspects of the same subject, and The Army of the Republic: A Novel, a rousing good story which gives a more graphic illustration of what the Bush administration is trying to do to America.

Can't wait to get the book. Last night I watch the you tube video about this book. I was really impressed with what she had to say. The message at the end, about how it took all of us to turn our heads while getting to this day; and it will take all of us to now get involved to make any difference. This gets to the heart of the problem. We are all to blame.

Here is a link to the 48 minute video by Naomi Wolf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc

So, organize and fill the streets with protest. Call your congressman, have the criminals dragged out by the hair, and prosecute. Run an election in your area against your representative if they do not listen. Then go after all the ones who helped them, and drag them out by the hair. When you hear someone repeat the rhetoric from these criminals or the news, drag them out by the hair. Now, we can build something for all to look forward to. And when the world sees that we are taking inventory of all the bad seeds, we may just get some help from others. Until then; it is you, and me dear.

This is a great book. Very informative, a little bit scary. I purchased extra copies to share with family & friends. This information must get out to everyone.

During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln jailed war dissenters and suspended habeau corpus for American citizens. President Franklin Roosevelt incarcerated Japanese American citizens during World War II and even attempted to undermine - by "packing" - the Supreme Court of the United States. Yet, today's poltically-motivated critics of President Bush idolize both Lincoln and Roosevelt. Why the double standard?

What is truly laughable is the author's claim that President Bush "controls the press"! Is there anyone in modern American history who has been more demonized by the press than President Bush?!
