The Obama Identity by Edward Klein & John LeBoutillier

THE OBAMA IDENTITY
A Novel
(Or Is It?)
By Edward Klein & John LeBoutillier

In the summer of 2004, CIA agent Theodore J. Higginbothem, III was summoned by his boss to a hush-hush meeting in the basement of the National Museum of Health.

"Higgy," his boss whispered in his ear, "the CIA has a top-secret, off-the-books domestic spying operation in which we keep tabs on our most ambitious presidential hopefuls. I want you to do a complete workup on Barack Hussein Obama. Where was he born? Is he a Muslim? Is he a socialist? Who is behind him? What is Obama's real agenda?"

THE OBAMA IDENTITY, the new satirical novel by NY Times best-selling author Edward Klein and Fmr. Congressman John LeBoutillier, follows Higgy and his team as they travel all over the world - from Chicago to Mombasa to Honolulu to Jakarta and St. Petersburg, Russia - as they encounter Birthers and Bushes, Katie Couric and Muslim clerics. Along their hilarious and madcap journey, Higgy and his crack operatives discover startling secrets about the 44th President of the United States - a man some call "The Chosen One" and others refer to as an "Obamanation."

Among the many startling revelations in THE OBAMA IDENTITY:

· What Obama's Kenyan grandmother says about his birthplace;
· How a Muslim imam taught young Obama to apologize for America and bow to foreigners;
· How the Reverend Jeremiah Wright taught Obama to use the TelePrompTer;
· What happened to the videotapes showing Obama high-fiving the Reverend Wright after one of his anti-American sermons;
· How financier George Soros brought about the collapse of the American economy to help elect Obama;
· Why Obama blames everything on George W. Bush except Katie Couric's dismal ratings; and
· Who came up with the idea of carving Obama's face on Mount Rushmore right next to Abe Lincoln's.

THE OBAMA IDENTITY mocks all sides in this hilarious takedown of the political world and its incompetent, coddling media.

VanityFair.com will run an excerpt from THE OBAMA IDENTITY on September 27.

1979 Classic More Relevant Than Ever!

RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM
The Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty
Foreword by Stephen Moore, The Wall Street Journal

More than thirty years ago, before conservative talk radio and Fox News, Robert Ringer was writing about the coming collapse of the U.S. economy and Washington's assault on personal freedom. Unfortunately, his warnings went unheeded, but his words proved to be prophetic. Today, many of his prophecies not only have come to pass, but are now accepted by millions of Americans as a normal way of life.

RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM: The Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty is a follow-up to Robert Ringer's best-selling 1979 classic. As a New York Times #1 best-selling author, Ringer continues to expose unconstitutional government policies that destroy both our economy and our liberty. Topics include, among others, inflation, job-killing taxes, the trumped-up energy "crisis," draconian regulation, the sanctity of individual sovereignty, and, most important, what the reader can do to help restore the American dream.

RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM exposes the lie that the American dream is about government helping people fulfill their desires through redistribution-of-wealth programs and government-created rights. Ringer explains that the American dream our grandparents knew was about people who, for the first time in human history, realized that they were above government - that politicians are the employees of those who vote them into office, and not the other way around.

Robert Ringer's trademarks are his unique ability to explain complex issues in an easy-to-understand manner and the courage to approach controversial subjects from a moral viewpoint. For example, he defends capitalism not just on the grounds that it produces more wealth for the greatest number of people, but because it is inherently moral.

RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM highlights numerous ways in which minimization of government can be accomplished, including:

· All office holders, especially the president, should serve only one term.
· Most taxes should be phased out as swiftly as possible.
· Most government services and government employees should be gradually eliminated.
· The law of supply and demand should be allowed to operate freely.
· All redistribution-of-wealth functions of government should be phased out over a reasonable period of time.
· Consumer advocates, environmentalists, and other self-proclaimed protectors of the people should be held civilly and criminally liable for their actions.
· Most government property and businesses should be sold off.
· All victimless-crime laws should be repealed and all people imprisoned for violations of such "crimes" should immediately be granted full pardons.
· All laws that invade the privacy of individuals should be repealed, and no new laws that call for government intrusion into our lives should be enacted.

The foundational premise of the American dream is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives. The author explains that the American dream is not a collective experience. On the contrary, self-responsibility was, and is, an integral part of the American dream. In order to restore the American dream, Ringer explains that citizens must either draw the line and take back America from the politicians who control it, or they must be prepared to relinquish forever their remaining claims on liberty.

RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM is a rare book that has the power to fundamentally transform America from a socialist nation into the nation our founding fathers envisioned.

About the Author: Robert Ringer is a New York Times best-selling author, interviewer, and speaker. He is the publisher of the thought-provoking e-letter A Voice of Sanity in an Insane World, in which he shares his insights and analyses of today's most pressing problems from a free-market point of view. In addition, he hosts the highly acclaimed Liberty Education Interview Series, which features interviews with such top political, economic, and social leaders. The author of three New York Times bestsellers, Ringer has appeared on numerous national talk shows, including The Tonight Show, Today, Good Morning America, ABC News Nightline, and The Charlie Rose Show. In addition, he has been the subject of feature articles in Time, People, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Barron's, and The New York Times.

"With Washington growing bigger and bigger by the day and distancing itself further and further from our precious Constitution and founding principles, the timing could not be better for Robert Ringer's classic Restoring the American Dream. What a gift this important work is to a nation yearning for liberty and freedom." --Congresswoman Michele Bachmann

Pursuing Liberty By Cory Emberson & Rick Lindstrom

PURSUING LIBERTY
America Through the Eyes of the Newly Free
By Cory Emberson & Rick Lindstrom

"Pursuing Liberty is a book that reminds us of the wisdom of our founders, and inspires us through the stories of our newest patriots."
--Brian Sussman, KSFO, San Francisco radio host, and author of Climategate

Consider how much America has changed since WWII. Gone is the universal pride most Americans felt about their unique legacy, now given way to a bitterly divided country whose citizens seem more interested in mutual political combat than focusing on our shared American exceptionalism. The latest news about Arizona''s immigration law, enacted out of sheer desperation, is just one example of the battle that rages on American soil to protect our sovereignty; not to mention the recent news of Russian spies, the infiltration of Jihadist camps and the enemy within -- members of al Qaeda and the Taliban living right in our own neighborhoods waiting to attack.

Sometimes it takes a different perspective to bring matters into sharp focus -- as in the case of a new book called Pursuing Liberty, which is an intimate portrait of those who have confronted despotism and tyranny firsthand, escaped it, and lived to tell the tale. Pursuing Liberty is a chronicle of their personal experiences, reminding us of the value of liberty, and the ongoing need to defend it at all costs. Talk radio across America has been covering this topic regularly for years- - the stories of legal immigrants who escaped tyranny for America, only to see their nightmare past of repression spreading to the so-called "land of the free."

Through first-person narratives from our newest naturalized Americans, Pursuing Liberty showcases the courage required to abandon one's ancestral home to seek the unique freedoms found only in America, and the rare insights of those who gave up everything in their own quests for liberty. They offer rare glimpses into and recollections of life under repression and illustrate clearly that the knowledge of the true face of tyranny can be our armor against it happening in America.

Pursuing Liberty was written for all Americans - young or old, left, right, or center, this book opens our eyes to the unique American experience that far too many of us take for granted. It is a valuable read for every American, with the November elections fast approaching on the horizon; this book will move voters to make the right choice for the good of our country.

What is the cost of freedom? To those who have fled oppression and tyranny, it's worth everything. These are the inspiring true-life experiences of our newest patriots - all escaped their former homes risking it all just for the chance to live a free life in America. They've come from Cuba, Venezuela, the former USSR, Vietnam, and other countries to make their dreams of freedom a reality. To hear the voices of the new immigrants warning us not to make the same mistakes their countries made is a wake-up call for all American citizens.

"When I look at the aspirations of American Progressives, I see nothing new or forward-looking. Instead, I see the same ideas that formed the basis of the USSR, which eventually suffered a complete economic collapse," says Svetlana Kunin, an immigrant from the Soviet Union. Polish immigrant Agnieszka Bernstein talks about life in a communist nation "dominated by alcohol and hunting for stuff in the stores ... basic things."

Is the American dream of opportunity, freedom, and exceptionalism turning into a nightmare? Pursuing Liberty contrasts the reality of living under oppressive regimes with America's unique and irreplaceable legacy: freedoms that may be lost entirely if America continues its downward slide. Is it too late to stem the rising tide of overzealous government? These legal immigrants know the answer.

Kessler Bestseller Out in Paperback

The explosive New York Times bestseller that caused controversy within the U.S. Secret Service arrives in paperback.

Includes a new chapter revealing new details about the threats against President Obama and the secret task force
set up to protect him.

IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH AGENTS IN THE LINE OF FIRE AND THE PRESIDENTS THEY PROTECT
By Ronald Kessler

Secret Service agents act as human surveillance cameras and observe everything that goes on behind the scenes in the president's inner circle. New York Times bestselling author and award- winning reporter Ronald Kessler reveals what they have seen, providing startling, previously untold stories about presidents from John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as about their families, Cabinet officers, and White House aides. In his new book, IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE: BEHIND THE SCENES WITH AGENTS IN THE LINE OF FIRE AND THE PRESIDENTS THEY PROTECT (Three Rivers Press, on sale August 3, 2010), Kessler penetrated the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service for the first time and portrays the dangers that agents face, how they carry out their missions, how they are trained, how they spot and assess potential threats, and much more.

Ronald Kessler reveals in the new edition of IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE:

· Threats against President Obama have became so disturbing that the FBI has established a Presidential Threat Task Force to gather, track, and evaluate assassination threats that might be related to domestic or international terrorism.
· Threats against Obama rose by as much as 400 percent compared with when President Bush was in office. At the same time, the Secret Service has been “spinelessly” acceding to requests by Obama administration officials for Secret Service protection in instances where there are no threats against them. As a result, 40 Obama administration officials and White House aides are under Secret Service protection, compared with 32 under George W. Bush. Kessler says that no one outside of the government has heard of most of them, but they have one thing in common: They enjoy being chauffeured free of charge by the Secret Service.
· The expansion in protection has occurred while the Secret Service is jeopardizing the president's safety by cutting corners because of understaffing.
· The new edition explains how Secret Service deficiencies led to the intrusion by Michaele and Tareq Salahi at the White House State Dinner. It recounts how Kessler obtained a scoop on the fact that the Secret Service, during its investigation of the incident, found that a third uninvited guest attended the dinner. Two hours after Kessler's story ran on Newsmax.com, the Secret Service confirmed it.

In addition, IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE discloses assassination attempts that have never before been revealed. Kessler shares insider accounts of past assaults that have put the Secret Service to the test, including a heroic gun battle that took down the would-be assassins of Harry S. Truman, the devastating day that John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, and the swift actions that saved Ronald Reagan after he was shot. Kessler also exposes how Secret Service management in recent years has betrayed its mission by cutting corners, risking the assassination of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and future presidential candidates.

Based on exclusive interviews with more than one hundred current and former Secret Service agents, IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE also reveals:

· Because the Secret Service has been cutting corners since its absorption by the Homeland Security Department, when Vice President Joe Biden threw the first pitch at the first Baltimore Orioles game of the 2009 season, the Secret Service did not screen any of the more than forty thousand fans, stunning agents on his detail and the agency's Baltimore field office. Contrary to Biden's claims, he compromised the location of a secret underground bunker built to protect the vice president.
· When he was President George W. Bush's Treasury secretary, John Snow traveled to his hometown of Richmond almost every weekend and saw a woman agents believed was his mistress, incurring huge expenses for taxpayers because the Secret Service had to accompany him.
· Vice President Spiro Agnew, a champion of family values, had extramarital affairs while in office.
· George W. Bush's daughters, Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, gave their Secret Service details a hard time and would try to lose their agents.
· Based on a psychic's vision that a sniper would assassinate President George H. W. Bush when he arrived in Enid, Oklahoma, to give a speech, the Secret Service changed his motorcade route.
· To make the press think he came to work early, Jimmy Carter would walk into the Oval Office at 5 a.m., then nod off to sleep. Carter refused to allow the military aide with the nuclear football to stay near his home in Plains, Georgia, jeopardizing the nation's safety when he was staying there.
· Lyndon Johnson would order Secret Service agents to drive on crowded sidewalks so he could make an appointment on time. Johnson would urinate in front of the press corps, which included women reporters. He had a stable of women with whom he had sex at the White House and at his ranch.
· Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary, who was guarded by the Secret Service along with her baby, demanded that the Secret Service shuttle her friends to restaurants. When her detail leader objected, she had the agent removed.
· At a Halloween party, Jenna Bush's now-husband, Henry Hager, became so inebriated that the Secret Service wound up taking him to Georgetown University Hospital. Another time, he became drunk with Jenna in a Georgetown bar and picked a fight with several other patrons. The Secret Service had to intervene to avoid a brawl.
· Because of objections by the wife of the secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, the Secret Service stopped performing checks on workers cleaning the Chertoffs' home, even though agents knew that many of the workers were illegal immigrants.
· In contrast to John McCain, Barack Obama - code-named Renegade - and Michelle Obama - code-named Renaissance - treat agents with consideration and respect. Contrary to Obama's repeated claims that he is giving up smoking, he has continued to smoke regularly.
· When Gary Hart was running for president and before his affair with Donna Rice was revealed, his friend Warren Beatty would arrange to have one or two stunning young models or actresses meet him at Beatty's house in Beverly Hills. As Secret Service agents watched through a fence, the women would remove their bikini tops and hop in an outdoor hot tub, then spend the evening with the married presidential candidate.
· Under pressure from presidential candidates or the White House, the Secret Service will shut down magnetometer screening for weapons at major events so as not to inconvenience stragglers when the president or a candidate is about to speak.
· While Secret Service agents are often heroic, the agency uses subterfuge to make them seem more so. When members of Congress and other VIPs visit the Secret Service training facility, the agency presents scenarios where agents respond to a threat. While the demonstration is billed as spontaneous, it is secretly rehearsed.
· In recent years, the Secret Service has equipped agents with outmoded firearms, so they could be outgunned. The service has driven away experienced agents through senseless transfer policies and reduced to almost nothing firearms requalification, physical training, and agent testing. Given such laxity, “It's a miracle we have not had a successful assassination,” a current agent says.

Since an assassination jeopardizes democracy itself, few agencies are as important to the United States as the Secret Service. Only Secret Service agents know the real story about our nation's leaders, and Ronald Kessler is the only journalist who has gained their trust. In importance to the country and in revelations about our nation's leaders, IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE is unique.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ronald Kessler is the New York Times bestselling author of eighteen nonfiction books, including The Terrorist Watch, Inside the White House, The CIA at War, and The Bureau. A former Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reporter, Kessler has won seventeen journalism awards.

The United States of Bankruptcy By Bill Glynn

20 Great Ways to Save the American Way of Life

Bill Glynn, venture capitalist, entrepreneur, author, and frequent guest of talk radio, has been warning Americans that we are in danger of losing our values, freedom and cherished way of life for many years via his blogs and talk radio shows across America. The culmination of all he has been saying is available now in this easy-to-understand guidebook every American must read: The United States of Bankruptcy: 20 Great Ways to Save the American Way of Life.

He warned us long before today, amidst all the crises America is facing, that the sovereignty of the United States would end up in the hands of foreign nations that hold our debt. He tells us now that America is socially, morally, politically, and financially bankrupt and asks us to start thinking for ourselves once again. He asks those of us who have become weary and leery of our politicians and so-called leaders:

Do you think politicians can actually manage our money?
Do you trust the motivations of your elected officials?
Do you think elections are nothing more than consumer advertising and branding?
Do you trust large corporations?
Do you trust Wall Street?
Do you trust the Chinese to control your future?
Do you feel your job is secure?
Do you think your money is safe?
Do you trust health insurance companies?

If you answered "no" to any or all of these questions, you are not alone. If you are looking for ideas to solve these problems within our country, you need The United States of Bankruptcy to take back America! This convenient guidebook offers 20 solutions to help save the American way of life. And it is a scathing verdict on how the American oligarchy and business leaders have squandered the finances of our nation and have dismantled the American Dream.

Over the past year, talk show hosts have quoted Bill: "If America were a company, the board of directors and management would be fired and probably even in jail!" Thomas Jefferson told us in 1816: "I sincerely believe ... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

Woodrow Wilson's ominous words ring true today as he warned that we'd be ruled by the few, the rich and the powerful: "We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

There are many books out there about the current administration and the damage it's done... The United States of Bankruptcy will stimulate the original true thinkers in the United States to do as our founding fathers once did and return to the core values that made America a great nation.

About the Author: Bill Glynn has been a venture capitalist and entrepreneur for 20 years and is also the author of Left on Red. He was ranked by Information Week as one of 15 top innovators globally. He is an insider in the film and music industry. The companies he has founded, helped build, and invested in have raised over $1 billion. Bill advises Fortune 1,000 companies' executives and speaks regularly across the United States regarding the global economy, reaching an audience of millions each month.

The Devil at My Doorstep By David Bego

The War Between a Family Business Owner and the SEIU

In May 2010, following a battle lasting over four years, Dave Bego, President of Executive Management Services, overcame incredible odds when he triumphed in a legal battle over the powerful and politically connected Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The incredible true story of Bego's "one man stand" against the two-million-member labor union and its boss Andy Stern (the man who would become President Obama's favorite ally and guest of the White House) is chronicled in his new book, The Devil at My Doorstep: Protecting Employee Rights in which Bego tells the story of the remarkable chain of events leading to the final showdown. This is an inspiring account of his fight to protect his employees and his life's work.

This is the story of a small business owner who grew his cleaning company from the ground up and succeeded by valuing quality, integrity, and respect for customers and employees as the core philosophies of his company. Eventually contracting with over 50 Fortune 500 companies, his business grew to over 5,000 workers in 36 states. He was indeed creating the American Dream for himself and his employees.

Then one day SEIU and Stern moved in to wield their "persuasion of power" to inflict unionization on EMS. Using everything from false accusations to financial power, Stern and the SEIU gained political and media support, practically ruining Bego's reputation, and costing him a million dollars in legal fees. Staying true to his values, Bego refused to back down, and almost three years later defeated Stern and the SEIU and succeeded in saving his company.

The Devil at My Doorstep delivers a shocking, incredible, account of freedom under fire, wherein Bego vividly demonstrates that the basic freedoms we assume are in place, including the right of a small business to operate without coercion, the protection of its employees' wages and personal information, and the right to vote in private, can be shaken to the core. Read more on the EMS Victory at NLRB against the SEIU.

This book is "A useful and compelling expose of what really happens in so-called union corporate campaigns," says Randel K. Johnson, Vice President, Labor, Immigration & Employee Benefits, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "While the union leadership tries to sell these campaigns as necessary because of some alleged imbalance in our nation's labor laws, the reality is that these campaigns are really about forcing employers, through a variety of often unseemly tactics, to recognize the unions regardless of the desire of the employees. David Bego's experience as documented in this review highlights that truth in stark reality."

David Bego's "truer than fiction" journey demonstrates how he was able to:

* Hold on to his core values and stand up for what he believed in.
* Fight and win against powerful and politically connected opponents.
* Develop and implement a strategy to overcome incredible odds.
* Start, operate and grow a business and cultivate good business relations.
* Find a place for a small business in a saturated marketplace characterized by large corporations.

The Devil at My Doorstep serves as an example for those individuals and small-to-mid-size business owners who believe in employee privacy rights and the American Dream, showing them that the underdog can indeed prevail.

Watch David Bego on Fox Business Network's Varney & Co.

About David Bego: President and CEO of Executive Management Services, Inc. (EMS), David Bego waged war with Andy Stern and the SEIU for the past four years, under attack from Stern and his union thugs, while protecting his employees against loss of their freedom to vote in "secret ballot" elections with no threat of repercussion from those who may disagree with their choice. Despite damage to his reputation and EMS's, Bego has managed thus far to survive the SEIU onslaught and emerge with integrity intact. Truly the voice of the opposition to the pending Employees Free Choice Act, Bego's case has received wide media coverage on TV and radio and he has met with many congressional leaders. [more...]
