Putin on the March By Doug Schoen
PUTIN ON THE
MARCH
The Russian President's Unchecked Global Advance
By
Douglas E. Schoen
In his 2016 book, Putin’s Master Plan, Doug Schoen warned
of the Russian president’s grand vision to expand his country’s influence
around the world, especially in Eastern Europe, while destabilizing the Western
alliance and delegitimizing the very principles of free societies - and
especially the political model of democracy’s exemplar, the United States. Now,
in his follow-up, Putin on the March,
Schoen tells us Vladimir Putin is winning. Schoen brings the story up to
date, warning that Putin’s mission is no abstraction but rather an active,
ongoing campaign, and one that the Russian president has pursued with far more
successes than setbacks. And Schoen warns again that the U.S. continues to lack
a coherent plan for combating Russian aggression, political intrigue -
including the cyberwarfare that has upended American politics - and the
communications and propaganda offensive that seems continually to keep the
Western democracies off balance.
In Putin on the March, you’ll learn about:
· Russia’s
ongoing aggression and its petro-politics;
· The
forming of the new Russian empire;
· Russia’s
backroom dealings;
· Espionage:
spies, leaks and cyberwarfare; and
· How
we can fight back, countering Russian aggression, with closer allies, clearer
goals and empowering cyber-counterintelligence
In Putin on the March, Doug Schoen examines Russian
moves across a range of geopolitical areas, including Moscow’s sustained
menacing of its Eastern European neighbors, especially Ukraine, and analyzes
Russia’s current posture regarding energy markets, the diplomatic situation,
espionage and cyberwarfare, and Moscow-Washington relations. This follow-up
reveals that Schoen’s previous warnings have been borne out. Under Putin’s
leadership, Russia is achieving success in the three key areas in which it
needs to prevail: foreign policy; control of Russian internal politics; and
keeping the U.S. confused, demoralized, and even destabilized. Those who
dismiss Putin’s behavior as unsustainable or reckless overlook the fundamental
truth: he is getting away with it, and the more he gets away with, and the
longer he does, the stronger he becomes - especially as the Western democracies
grow more fractured both from their own internal problems and from lack of
consensus on how to respond.

Seablindness By Seth Cropsey
SEABLINDNESS
How
Political Neglect is Choking American Seapower
By
Seth Cropsey
“A
finely researched combination of strategy, current events, and action-packed
scenarios.”
--Former
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman
Has the U.S. Navy reached its breaking point? In Seablindness:
How Political Neglect is Choking American Seapower and What to Do About It, Fmr. Deputy
Undersecretary of the U.S. Navy Seth Cropsey
exposes how years of underfunding has left our nation’s most strategic arm of
defense - American naval power - smaller today than any point since before
World War I.
At the same time, our adversaries are modernizing their naval
forces and, increasingly, testing our will to defend the open seas. Drawing on
historic conflicts as reference points, Cropsey creates strikingly realistic
scenarios in which rival powers like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea
challenge our naval supremacy. The results will alarm anyone who recognizes
America’s moral imperative to defend itself to preserve world peace and
security in an era of emerging and multiplying global threats.
“Seablindness” is an old term to describe a maritime nation’s
forgetfulness of the oceans’ role in its prosperity and security. The U.S.
is losing the understanding that seapower is essential for protecting our
commerce and preventing overseas conflicts from reaching our shores. The U.S.
is the world’s most powerful supporter of the international order. If,
because of defense budget cuts, the growth of adversary forces, the
international order is overturned, our shipping, our ability to communicate
with allies, and our position as a great power will be at risk.
In Seablindness, you’ll learn:
· How
the international order that the U.S. has supported since the end of World War
II is threatened today by:
· China’s
actions in the international waters of the South and East China Seas;
· the
Russian navy’s forcible return to the Black Sea and its growing presence
in the Eastern Mediterranean;
· its
threats to NATO member states along the Baltic Sea; and
· Iran’s
threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and the virtual certainty that
Iranian naval presence will migrate into the Red Sea.
· Why
U.S. seapower has been shrinking since the end of the Cold War and how
President Obama’s administration reduced defense spending by hundreds of
billions of dollars.
· How
the defense budget may still be asked to give up hundreds of billions of
dollars if Congress and the president cannot avoid sequestration.
· How
an under-resourced and over-stretched fleet is experiencing collisions at sea.
· How
budget cuts affect all of U.S. seapower and the threats that U.S. seapower
faces.
· That
to deter a potential enemy, U.S. seapower must change its focus from attacking
land targets to commanding the seas nearest to a potential adversary.
· How
the far left of the Democratic Party believe we should substantially reduce our
global engagement; yet our potential adversaries are at or nearby the world’s
chokepoints. If we cannot assure the freedom of these chokepoints, our ability
to conduct commerce and to communicate with allies will be at great risk.
American seapower has not been as small as it is today since
before World War I. Unless reversed, it will continue its decline into the
indefinite future as politicians ignore the widening gulf between the cost of
modernizing and expanding American seapower, and the resources devoted to this
most strategic arm of the nation's defense.
Seablindness explains the dilemma. It looks at the
consequences of neglect including global scenarios set in the immediate future,
the views of America's most knowledgeable military officers, the anxious
reactions of U.S. allies, and hard facts to show how a lack of political will
is dismantling the nation's global reach and with it, our position as the
world's great power.

Rogue Spooks By Dick Morris
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ARMAGEDDONCOMES A GROUNDBREAKING EXPOSE THAT UNCOVERS THE FACTS BEHIND THE ALLEGATIONS OF FOREIGN MEDDLING IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
ROGUE SPOOKS
The Intelligence War on Donald Trump
By Dick Morris
A clandestine war is being waged against the Trump administration by rogue elements of the intelligence community, with the collusion of the media and liberal establishment. It amounts to an intelligence coup against the Trump presidency. In ROGUE SPOOKS: The Intelligence War on Donald Trump, bestselling author Dick Morris uncovers the facts behind allegations of foreign meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
This groundbreaking expose will leave readers questioning the motives of U.S. Intelligence agencies, leftover partisans within our government, and members of the mainstream press.
Donald Trump's first 100 days in office were roiled by allegations of treasonous contacts between his campaign team and the Kremlin to rig the election. These outrageous charges first surfaced in the notorious “Trump Dossier,” an unverified document of suspect provenance, full of wild and salacious accusations.
This dossier—filled with little more than gossip, rumor, and innuendo––was compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative who teamed up with the FBI and anti-Trump partisans. Hillary Clinton supporters paid for Steele’s work.
When no news media would publish the unverified dossier, the ex-spook enlisted the help of a former UK ambassador to Russia, who arranged in turn for a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State to get the document to Senator John McCain, in the hope that he would then bring it to FBI Director James Comey’s attention. McCain did just that.
Comey himself played a critical role in the dossier ultimately going public, giving a confidential summary to President Obama and Congressional leaders. It was immediately leaked by rogue spooks in order to demean, destabilize, and destroy Donald Trump’s nascent presidency.
The dossier and this mythical intelligence are the basis for the phony claims about a Russia/Trump collusion to steal the election. No proof was found. No substantiation uncovered. Even Comey told Trump he was not under investigation for the Russian meddling charges. But that didn’t end the leaks or the allegations. Working in concert with liberal news outlets, these rogue spooks have formed a new intel/media complex that threatens our democracy. ROGUE SPOOKS will reveal how it works.
The many questions Dick Morris answers in ROGUE SPOOKS:

The many questions Dick Morris answers in ROGUE SPOOKS:
· Was Russia the only nation meddling in the presidential election, or were the Brits at it too?
· Are there still Obama moles burrowed into the FBI, CIA and the White House, sabotaging the Trump administration?
· Did the FBI offer to pay the author of the infamous “Trump Dossier” $50,000 of taxpayer money to verify the dossier’s allegations, while he was also being paid by Clinton supporters?
· What are the likely next moves of the leaders of the coup, and how can Trump defeat them?
In ROGUE SPOOKS, readers will be shocked to learn the truth about the false accusations against President Trump in the flawed dossier. They’ll be interested to know how leaks to the media fueled the phony scandal, and how intelligence agencies will try to use the newly appointed special prosecutor to oust President Trump. They will also learn what we can do—specifically—to stop them.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dick Morris has authored nineteen books, including thirteen New York Times bestsellers. Morris served as Bill Clinton’s chief political consultant for twenty years, and is a regular political commentator on the Internet and Facebook.

"America First Rally" Announcement
ACT FOR
AMERICA ANNOUNCES “AMERICA FIRST RALLY” IN CITIES ACROSS AMERICA ON SATURDAY,
SEPTEMBER 9TH
America’s
largest National Security Grassroots Organization Members Will Show their Support for Common Sense National Defense
ACT
for America announces a nationwide series of "America First” rallies to be
held in cities across America on Saturday, September 9, 2017. These events will
be held in memory of those who were lost in the worst terrorist attack
targeting American civilians in our history, and to promote our agenda of
common sense "America First" security policies proposed by President
Trump, which prioritize real protection over political correctness, and
celebrate American exceptionalism.
“Our
nation made a vow after 9/11/2001 to "Never Forget," but remembrance,
while a necessary debt, is not a sufficient one. We as Americans must also
raise our voices when our nation remains vulnerable to recurring threats,” says
Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT for America. These rallies will call for
support of President Trump’s common-sense America First security policies and
those aligned with it. These include:
- To secure our borders from threats to our safety;
- To defeat ISIS, Al Qaeda, and affiliates;
- To designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign
terrorist organization;
- To ensure proper and effective vetting of refugees for the protection of all Americans; and
- To respect law and order, our police, our military and
those who put their lives on the line for us each day.

America in the Age of Trump By Doug Schoen
America
in the Age of Trump
Opportunities
and Oppositions in an Unsettled World
By
Doug Schoen & Jessica Tarlov
America in the Age of Trump by Doug Schoen and Jessica Tarlov is
a bracing, essential look at the failure of a great nation to meet the needs of
its people and the challenges of the age—and the resulting collapse of public
trust in government, as well as a pervasive crisis of national values, from
broken families to a loss of faith in the American idea itself.
This
crisis of values occurs just as the country faces an unprecedented array of
fiscal, economic, social, and national-security challenges—out of control
federal spending, frighteningly large deficits, massive gaps of income and
opportunity, cultural division, and a dangerous world in which American power
seems increasingly incidental.
In
America
in the Age of Trump, Doug Schoen and Jessica Tarlov offer a
definitive and unique assessment of a nation in turmoil, looking beneath
well-known problems to identify underlying yet poorly understood causes.
Readers will confront the crises, one by one: of trust, values, and governance;
of education, economic opportunity, and fiscal solvency; of national security,
domestic tranquility, and race relations.
In
America
in the Age of Trump, Doug addresses:
- How Trump can be more bipartisan;
- Clear plans to fix health care;
- Plans to fix the budget and entitlements;
- How to restore confidence in the American system; and
- How to revitalize defense and bring the country back together.
America in
the Age of Trump gathers
in one place a clear and comprehensive evaluation of the fundamental issues
confronting the American future while offering bold, fresh approaches to
meeting these challenges. Other books have described the specter of American
decline, but none has been so comprehensive in its diagnosis or
forward-looking—and non-ideological—in its remedies, explaining how we might
yet overcome national self-doubt to reclaim our traditional optimism, reassert
our place in the world, and secure a prosperous future for our citizens.
