Eerily similar to Trump & the Obama Shadow Government

Eerily similar to Trump & the Obama Shadow Government... especially since it was written 20 years previous.

Interesting how virtually everything written in this book concerning President Obama and his administration would prove to be nervous hysteria; the author did, however, get it right about the extreme far-right takeover of our country in 2017.

The writer of this Novel (which it is) is a gossip and tabloid writer. Color me not surprised. This book literally reads like a novel. The fact is that Trump  had associates who communicated with Russia. Considering how Trump hates facts and reality, yes, it would be a concern for the Obama Admin. to ensure that the Trump team didn't erase this record. Nothing in Trump's career showed he would be the least bit ethical or honest.

This was an amazing read. It is basicly a instruction book to bring down a republic government (such as the USA), and replace it with a socialist one (such as most of europe). Since he is an ideologue, Obama can't look at the coming bankruptcys in the EU as proof that it doesn't work, he is still working on it. Better buy gold... Unless we are VERY lucky the USA is going DOWN!

If you take pleasure with somebody inventing a narrative that justifies his own fear and paranoia regarding the motives and character of our current president, then this will be a riveting book for you.  Enjoy the anxious message of urgency you will surely receive to remove Obama from the White House.  On the other hand, if you care about generally accepted facts, fairness or objectivity, you are not going to find much here.  D'Souza obviously believes in his shocking prophesies (what prophet doesn't?) -- but they are based mostly on a deep and abiding mistrust of Obama given his alleged radical background than they are on anything of much substance.

I did not expect much when I picked up this book.  I expected to read a continuation of Trump's bombastic comments in book form.  I was wrong.  This book is thoughtful, organized, and purposeful.  Trump has a huge ego, to be sure.  But underneath that ego is a powerful engine that drives all of his remarkable accomplishments - of which there are more than I ever thought possible.  For those familiar with Ayn Rand, Trump is Howard Roark.  Trump is Patton.  Trump is Ross Perot.  Trump is a take charge kind of guy who knows where he is going, how to get there, and how to successfully lead other people towards a common vision, whether it's restoring areas of downtown Manhattan, building top quality hotels, operating an international business enterprise, or running for the presidency.  My only wish is that the Trump we see on TV would turn down the over-the-top persona, and instead channel the Trump that wrote this book.  That would be something great.

A brilliant mash-up of near-future mind control, Buddhist meditation, and the future of illegal narcotics all wrapped up within a suspenseful story of international political intrigue. I read it in one sitting. For those of you who have seen past the lies of the US 'Intelligence' community and understand that the phony 'War on Drugs' and equally disingenuous 'War on Terror' has nothing to do with protecting your safety or freedoms, the authors description of the ERD (Emerging Risks Directorate, part of Homeland Security) is incredibly accurate. It's accuracy is even more startling in light of the recent revelations from Snowden and the trampling of national sovereignty the US government committed in their desperate bid to silence him.

And best of all, there's a sequel, which I'm downloading as I write. Looking forward to more from this author!

This book, at least initially, is one of the funniest things Ive read in a long time. This is not to belittle the importance to the world of who sits in the Oval Office. But the author himself draws our attention to the similarity of the farrago that was the 2016 American election with the show and movie, The Producers. When Trump stood for the presidency, it seems as though it was simply a giant PR exercise; he and his team expected to lose but the Trump brand and everyone on the bandwagon would become even more famous and important. Therefore, it was win/win. And the actual win surprised them all.

With few in the West Wing having any political experience whatsoever, the whole thing was chaos from the start. Very quickly, the people around Trump realised that his temperament and way of doing things would become an exercise in damage limitation. Two factions rapidly emerged: Bannon, Trumps de facto Chief of Staff (in all but name), a shrewd operator who believed in Trumpism and completely got his bosss strengths and weaknesses. And daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, termed Jarvanka, who Bannon referred to as the kids. It wasn't long before hostilities between the two camps reached boiling point.

Michael Wolff is so adept at conveying the presidents personality that one comes away from this book feeling that Bannon is not the only one who fully 'gets' The Donald. We see what makes Trump tick - and it's terrifying. With a swiftly changing line-up of personnel, it might have been easy for the reader to have become confused. But Wolff is supreme master of his well-researched material and he knows how to put the points across directly, with journalistic flair and a smart turn of phrase. On Trumps reluctance to read, well, anything: He was postliterate  total television. On Trumps lack of appeal to the cosmopolitan elite: He was, after all, Donald Trump, however much you shined him up. Wolff is superb on the pithy explanation, here talking about Louise Mensch: a former British politician who, now living in the United States, had become a kind of conspiracy-central of the Trump-Russia connection. On the short-lived Scaramucci who was, according to Wolff: wired by events beyond his own circuits capacity

Fire and Fury may have been rushed through by its publisher; there are several typos in my (British) edition that let the author down, though I did allow myself a snigger when Bannon makes his first official pubic appearance of the Trump presidency. And talking of Bannon, whatever his politics and whatever we readers make of him, its clear that nine times out of ten he was the cleverest one in the room. (I don't think weve heard the last of him.) This is a really great book  and as close as Ive ever come to understanding chaos theory.

The irony is that leftism/progressive liberalism is essentially the radical fascist party du jour; from the radical communist Alinsky, mentor to both community organizer Obama and Hillary, to the crony-capitalism (ie fascism) of DC, this historical expose simply reveals how we ended up where we are today. the CIA is simply the rogue arm of the internationalist/globalist Deep Corp., using the Washington neocons for their ends.

Donald J. Trump is smashing an enmeshed political spoils system to bits, so opens the third book by the noted paleolibertarian - classical Liberal columnist Ilana Mercer, The Trump Revolution: The Donalds Creative Destruction Deconstructed. Those familiar with the author know her as a far more relatable Ayn Rand but possessing greater heart and wit, (she even opens one of the chapters by telling a corny old Israeli joke,) or a modern-day Rothbard taking the bloated government and the neoconservatives to task daily on her blog, and this book is no exception. Constructed as a series of essays with titles such as:

Trump Could Send The Systems Sycophants Scattering,
Making America Great Means Taking down W,
Trumps Good For The English Language,
and Trump Nation Sick n Tired Of Racial Sadomasochism,

the books is a pretty easy, fast paced read. So people who are intimidated by giant political opuses theres no need to fear.

When Trumps announcement that he was seeking the office of the president was unexpectedly met with enthusiasm and his place as the Republican nominee was becoming a reality, sure the politicians let out their typical hems and haws, but the people on the ground knew better. They realized that the status quo of the Leftist elite wasn't written in stone, and thats one of the major point of this book, because  despite the title, this isn't a fan letter, in fact early on Mercer states that Trump is likely the best that America can hope for, and that the endorsement over these pages is not necessarily for the policies of Trump, but for the process of Trump.  The process being the dismantling  of  political correctness, the entire Washington establishment and most importantly the so-called conservative movement, who haven't managed to conserve a damn thing other than their cheap-labor loving donors bank account. For the first time in a long time people are speaking up and speaking out against the continued erosion of the nations founding culture and principles, and this is due in large part to the candidacy of Donald Trump.

A lot of very interesting information here especially about Trump.  The book was written at the early part of his Presidency, and a lot of the predictions have already come true.  I enjoyed reading the authors views on how occultist practices affect US government policy.  Hes writing from a fundamentalist Christian perspective.  The book is not tea party, but there is a bias.

Seriously everything in this well written book reads like today's continuing saga of the Trump era. I had paused in my reading of this extremely interesting; you are there tale. Then I saw Mika Brezinski on Morning Joe blow up and shut down Michael Wolf rather than admit she could not answer his request for an example from his book which illustrated her acquisition. Then I jumped back into this great read.

Actually, the Bush family has extensive ties to the Arab/Muslim world through its numerous oil contacts, including the Bin Laden family in the Carlye group.  This information is common knowledge now for those who are truly interested in thinking and contemplating.  Silly accusations targeting the President's character are fueled by racism, jealousy, and outrage at the first person of color to go from very humble beginnings to the White House.  Since taking office, President Obama has been called "Marxist (though Marxist is a broad term that covers many cultural, economic and social dimensions," secret Muslim, anti-Christian, anti-American (though he was twice elected by wide margins by Americans), socialist, etc. This and other books are written for controversy and out of a sense of racism and hatred. Give these kinds of petty minds a wide detour.

Look for this book on the table with other failed Trump products.

Putin has now pulled out of Syria. Sometime in the distant future, probably after the election we will learn that John Kerry had something to do with it.

Thanks to the book's excerpt, we see Trump's bloviating in all its glory. Of course the entire book will follow the same theme of, "I alone can fix this".

Now, after 6 mos in office he has accomplished nothing. Literally not one piece of legislation of any kind... Not one. @realDonaldTrump failed #SchoolHouseRock and has no idea how to govern.

In this book he has buckets full of all the things everybody and every world leader, except Putin, is doing wrong, and how in his first 100 dsys he can FIX EVERYTHING. Everything from Obama care (of course) the public school system, the "FAKE NEWS MEDIA," our trade imbalance with China, and how he will schmooze Kim Jung Un so he can warm over our frosty relationship with North Korea (N Korea actually today launched an ICBM that can reach Los Angeles, maybe even Denver, so I guess he hasn't won over favor of Kim Jung Un. He even mentions flag burning. Is that even a thing. I haven't heard of a single incident of a flag being burned.

If you're looking to find out how Donald Trump will make the lives of American citizens and others who stand on its soil better. You won't find it in this book.  After reading the first few pages it will feel like you are being scammed by a used car salesman in a $2 suit.

But, the prez makes a strong case why Russia has a more stable country and economy... It's all because of the strong leadership of his bff Putin. Strangely enough, a man whom he considers to be his equal, his counterpart?

As with absolutely everything in this book, and I imagine with his life, Trump explains his relationship with Putin in broad, colorful strokes. It doesn't feel like a relationship of trust but verify, but one of a lop-sided love affair where Trump is always trying to please Putin. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on becau see everything he says leaves the reader with a hypnotic, sugary taste. Trump is, and always will be a salesman who gives you the impression he's up to his neck in trouble with Putin,  and if he speaks ill of him, he will be taken behind the woodshed. I believe Putin has taken many behind the woodshed, I fear he will take the U.S. behind if Trump can't hold it together.

Everything has changed since this book was published, and I truly hope in Trump's next book he writes how he discovered in himself the nerves of steel President Kennedy possessed during the 6 days of the Cuban missle crisis, and outlines, without blame, how North Korea and the U.S. have reached detente without a single shot being fired.

Fingers crossed

I haven't read this book but I came across this while I was doing some research into the geopolitical consequences of the United States alienating our neighbor to the south, Mexico. Apparently, the author has the same beliefs that I do judging from the brief description of the book. Keep in mind, this was written in late 2014, which scares me because his description mirrors the current geopolitical climate. Although it seems the author outsourced his proofreading, the author has actually eerily predicted the rise of a populist Republican with a radical agenda to upend the economic and trade policies of the past. The rest however still hasn't happened, but I see it all happening with this Republican threatening to build a wall and renegotiate NAFTA during his very first days in office. If I was running China today, i'd see the current geopolitical climate as an excellent way to upend the current global hegemony.

It is amazing to me how closely (in some respects) some of the thoughts of the author resemble what is happening today (2013).
The Government knows BEST (why can't the people see that?)
BUT Freedom & the People's spirit will always shine through!!!

I'm confused. This is word for word the same as  "An In-Depth Look At Democrat Policy And Ideas."  Something is very suspicious!
