ALSO AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK
"It is not simply a good book about history. It is one of those books which makes history. ... "
-- Vladimir Bukovsky, co-founder of the Soviet dissident movement and author of Judgment in Moscow, and Pavel Stroilov, author of Behind the Desert Storm.
"Diana West is distinguished from almost all political commentators because she seeks less to defend ideas and proposals than to investigate and understand what happens and what has happened. This gives her modest and unpretentious books and articles the status of true scientific inquiry, shifting the debate from the field of liking and disliking to being and non-being."
-- Olavo de Carvalho
If you're looking for something to read, this is the most dazzling, mind-warping book I have read in a long time. It has been criticized by the folks at Front Page, but they don't quite get what Ms. West has set out to do and accomplished. I have a whole library of books on communism, but -- "Witness" excepted -- this may be the best.
-- Jack Cashill, author of Deconstructing Obama: The Lives, Loves and Letters of America's First Postmodern President and First Strike: TWA Flight 800 and the Attack on America
"Every once in a while, something happens that turns a whole structure of preconceived ideas upside down, shattering tales and narratives long taken for granted, destroying prejudice, clearing space for new understanding to grow. Diana West's latest book, American Betrayal, is such an event."
-- Henrik Raeder Clausen, Europe News
West's lesson to Americans: Reality can't be redacted, buried, fabricated, falsified, or omitted. Her book is eloquent proof of it.
-- Edward Cline, Family Security Matters
"I have read it, and agree wholeheartedly."
-- Angelo Codevilla, Professor Emeritus of International Relations at Boston Unversity, and fellow of the Claremont Institute.
Enlightening. I give American Betrayal five stars only because it is not possible to give it six.
-- John Dietrich, formerly of the Defense Intelligence Agency and author of The Morgenthau Plan: Soviet Influence on American Postwar Policy.
After reading American Betrayal and much of the vituperation generated by neoconservative "consensus" historians, I conclude that we cannot ignore what West has demonstrated through evidence and cogent argument.
-- John Dale Dunn, M.D., J.D., Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
"A brilliantly researched and argued book."
-- Edward Jay Epstein, author of Deception: The Invisible War between the KGB and the CIA, The Annals 0f Unsolved Crime
"This explosive book is a long-needed answer to court histories that continue to obscure key facts about our backstage war with Moscow. Must-reading for serious students of security issues and Cold War deceptions, both foreign and domestic."
-- M. Stanton Evans, author of Stalin's Secret Agents and Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies
Her task is ambitious; her sweep of crucial but too-little-known facts of history is impressive; and her arguments are eloquent and witty. ... American Betrayal is one of those books that will change the way many of us see the world.
-- Susan Freis Falknor, Blue Ridge Forum
"American Betrayal is absolutely required reading. Essential. You're sleepwalking without it."
-- Chris Farrell, director of investigations research, Judicial Watch
"Diana West wrote a brilliant book called American Betrayal, which I recommend to everybody ... It is a seminal work that will grow in importance."
-- Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker
"This is a must read for any serious student of history and anyone working to understand the Marxist counter-state in America."
-- John Guandolo, president, Understanding the Threat, former FBI special agent
It is myth, or a series of myths, concerning WW2 that Diana West is aiming to replace with history in 2013’s American Betrayal.
If West’s startling revisionism is anywhere near the historical truth, the book is what Nietzsche wished his writings to be, dynamite.
-- Mark Gullick, British Intelligence
“What Diana West has done is to dynamite her way through several miles of bedrock. On the other side of the tunnel there is a vista of a new past. Of course folks are baffled. Few people have the capacity to take this in. Her book is among the most well documented I have ever read. It is written in an unusual style viewed from the perspective of the historian—but it probably couldn’t have been done any other way.”
-- Lars Hedegaard, historian, journalist, founder, Danish Free Press Society
The polemics against your Betrayal have a familiar smell: The masters of the guild get angry when someone less worthy than they are ventures into the orchard in which only they are privileged to harvest. The harvest the outsider brought in, they ritually burn.
-- Hans Jansen, former professor of Islamic Thought, University of Utrecht
No book has ever frightened me as much as American Betrayal. ... [West] patiently builds a story outlining a network of subversion so bizarrely immense that to write it down will seem too fantastic to anyone without the book’s detailed breadth and depth. It all adds up to a story so disturbing that it has changed my attitude to almost everything I think about how the world actually is. ... By the time you put the book down, you have a very different view of America’s war aims and strategies. The core question is, did the USA follow a strategy that served its own best interests, or Stalin’s? And it’s not that it was Stalin’s that is so compelling, since you knew that had to be the answer, but the evidence in detail that West provides that makes this a book you cannot ignore.
-- Steven Kates, RMIT (Australia) Associate Professor of Economics, Quadrant
"Diana West's new book rewrites WWII and Cold War history not by disclosing secrets, but by illuminating facts that have been hidden in plain sight for decades. Furthermore, she integrates intelligence and political history in ways never done before."
-- Jeffrey Norwitz, former professor of counterterrorism, Naval War College
[American Betrayal is] the most important anti-Communist book of our time ... a book that can open people's eyes to the historical roots of our present malaise ... full of insights, factual corroboration, and psychological nuance.
-- J.R. Nyquist, author, Origins of the Fourth World War
Although I know [Christopher] Andrew well, and have met [Oleg] Gordievsky twice, I now doubt their characterization of Hopkins -- also embraced by Radosh and the scholarly community. I now support West's conclusions after rereading KGB: The Inside Story account 23 years later [relevant passages cited in American Betrayal]. It does not ring true that Hopkins was an innocent dupe dedicated solely to defeating the Nazis. Hopkins comes over in history as crafty, secretive and no one's fool, hardly the personality traits of a naïve fellow traveler. And his fingerprints are on the large majority of pro-Soviet policies implemented by the Roosevelt administration. West deserves respect for cutting through the dross that obscures the evidence about Hopkins, and for screaming from the rooftops that the U.S. was the victim of a successful Soviet intelligence operation.
-- Bernie Reeves, founder of The Raleigh Spy Conference, American Thinker
Diana West’s American Betrayal — a remarkable, novel-like work of sorely needed historical re-analysis — is punctuated by the Cassandra-like quality of “multi-temporal” awareness. ... But West, although passionate and direct, is able to convey her profoundly disturbing, multi-temporal narrative with cool brilliance, conjoining meticulous research, innovative assessment, evocative prose, and wit.
-- Andrew G. Bostom, PJ Media
Do not be dissuaded by the controversy that has erupted around this book which, if you insist on complete accuracy, would be characterized as a disinformation campaign.
-- Jed Babbin, The American Spectator
In American Betrayal, Ms. West's well-established reputation for attacking "sacred cows" remains intact. The resulting beneficiaries are the readers, especially those who can deal with the truth.
-- Wes Vernon, Renew America

And had he been elected president in 1976 instead of Jimmy Carter, would he have splintered the Surveillance Deep State into Kennedy's thousand pieces?

Get a load of that kisser: Judge Robert H. Jonker, the US District Court judge who, with his two Big- Government-thumbs on the scales throughout, presided over the do-over trial of about the only Whitmer "fed-napping" plotters who were not FBI assets.
Verdict this time around? Guilty as re-charged.
Revolver News sums it up: "Shockingly and disgracefully, two men have been found guilty of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer in a retrial of a now infamous entrapment case perpetrated by the FBI."
Couldn't have happened without the honorable judge, as Julie Kelly noted:

Despite the near-total blackout created by media suppression, vicious state propaganda and heartless disinterest, here is an update on the cruelty and lawlessness weaponized against a select group of American patriots who came to (or near) the US Capitol on January 6 to protest the electoral coup of November 3, 2020.
There are hundreds of such cases to choose from, all of them studies in police state brutality, prosecutorial madness and lives and families and businesses turned to ruin by a regime bent on eradicating political opposition.
Today's case is that of Thomas Caldwell, a decorated, twenty-year military veteran with no prior arrests.
Read "Free Thomas Caldwell. Now," my first post about Caldwell's case from the spring of 2021 here; but...

The parallels between the Terror of 1782 and the J6 Terror of 2022 are strong, but the main point of my recent discussions is to reframe the modern-day protagonists: namely, we are the upholders of the Constitution and they are the insurrectionists.

Rep. Scott Perry: “This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone,” the Pennsylvania Republican said in a statement issued through his office. “They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish.”
This sinister turn of events -- seizing the phone of an elected Representative and leading member of the opposition party -- is every bit as outrageous as the FBI raid on President Trump's home. Maybe it is even worse, another notch in the Gestapo-ization of the federal police.
Apprehending the Congressman while he was vacationing with his family is nothing less than state intimidation of the political oppisition. How is it not also a violation of Rep. Perry's Fourth Amendment rights?
On the heels of the Trump raid this is more federal aggression...

It so happens that shortly before President Trump announced Mar-A-Lago had been raided (and the DOJ had no comment), I posted a Patreon video linking actions and personalities of the early days of the Great Terror of the French Revolution with actions and personalities of the electoral coup of November 3- January 6 and the 20 months that have followed since.
I stopped my historical comparison with the November 1792 debate over whether to put Louis XVI on trial, but I may have to follow up soon.
What country is this?

A message from President Trump:
These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level...

Thought of the day, courtesy Vladimir Bukovsky, from his stunning 1979 autobiography, To Build a Castle: My Life as a Dissenter:
Truly, we were born to make Kafka live.
Every January Sixer should read this book not only to be inspired, but also, and at least as important, to learn to understand the psychology of captors and prisoners alike, along with the dissident's best strategies to use against our American KGB.

Singing the "Star Spangled Banner" outside the DC Gulag the night Guy Reffitt was setenced: Randy Ireland, Nicole Reffitt, Michelle Witthoeft (Ashli Babbitt's mother), the Reffitt daughters.
--
Nicole Reffitt has a rare gift. She can channel fire through poise. Nineteen months after her husband Guy Reffitt's arrest, five months after his conviction, moments after enduring his outrageously harsh sentencing hearing -- seven-plus years for not committing any act of violence and not entering the Capitol -- Mrs. Reffitt coolly and pointedly took on the carping, snarking DC media.
Here, thanks to Newsmax TV (watch here),...

And so the Deep State continues to mete out prison terms for Americans who were rightfully distraught over its assault on the People's Will in the 2020 Presidential Election, only to be set up and entrapped into becoming Reichstag Fire / "Who Killed Kirov?" patsies for the entrenchment of the illegitimate regime.
Julie Kelly summed it up this way:
