CCCCC (A
case could be made that I would only review the best of the best because if
while reading a book it does not hold my interest, I would not finish it and
therefore would not review it.)
Format:
This is a book based on facts that cover the past 70 to 80 years of the
U. S. Government and its Congressional Leaders.
Reason
For Reading THIS book: I watched the movie, Agenda; Grinding America
Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUMOWZc8PU8)
and one of the featured speakers was Trevor Loudon and I was impressed by his
understanding of what is happening in American politics and why America is so
important to the world, especially during the current series of wars and
terrorist attacks.
Number
Of Times I Have Read This Book: Only once.

PROFILES AND THEIR LINKS TO SOCIALIST AND/OR COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION
This is one scary book. I read a great deal and frankly, I was
unaware of most of the organizations mentioned but more importantly the
relationships between these Socialist and/or Communist organizations and
prominent Americans but far more importantly members of the U. S. House of Representatives
and the U. S. Senate. It also outlines
the affect the organizations had on these elected officials to help drive the
direction of the Democratic Party and America through elections and political
influence. THIS IS JUST SCARY STUFF!
Towards the end of the book there
are 64 bibliographies included of some of the elected officials that have
either direct Socialist and/or Communist ties or who are consciously or
unconsciously being influenced by Socialist and/or Communist organizations.
Who
Should Read the Book? Anyone
interested in history. Anyone who is
concerned about the future of a Capitalistic America and anyone who is
interested in the direction being taken by the Democratic Party. Regarding the last - I would be shocked if a
current American who says he or she is a Democrat and who reads this book would
be happy with what they read or satisfied with the direction the Democratic
Party is currently taking. It is not an
easy book to read but WOW, the content!
Final
Test: Would I read the book again? Probably not but not because it is not worth
reading, but rather once read it becomes more of a reference book for your
library.
