American Betrayal

FINALLY -- IN AUDIOBOOK!

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

If dictatorships need gulags, where defendants barred from posting bond are held in pre-trial solitary and brutalized, they also depend on secret courts.

Writing at Richard Viguerie's Conservative HQ George Rasley makes the unprecedented horror of the star chamber evident in a sharp discussion in "The Murder of Ashli Babbit."

Rasley writes:

In an act truly unprecedented in American law and history, after a secret process in which no public testimony was taken and no media were allowed in to report on the proceedings, the U.S....

Via Gateway Pundit:

Canadian Police Bring SWAT Team to Church Where Polish Pastor Went Viral for Shaming ‘Nazi’ Police on Easter

A SWAT team went back to Pawlowski's church again. Sure, there was a small masked woman with health department missives, who called Pastor Pawlowski "Artur" and just wanted to "explain" but there was also the uniformed threat of force, black-clad and armed. At a church. In Canada.

Pastor Pawlowski drove them away again.  

“I do not cooperate with the Gestapo. I do not talk to the Nazis. You came in your uniforms like thugs, that’s what you are. Brown shirts of Adolf Hitler. You are Nazi Gestapo. Communist. Fascists. I do not cooperate with Nazis. Talk to my lawyer. You are not allowed here,” Pawlowski told the officers. 

I hope Pastor Artur Pawlowski...

UPDATE: Join me at my Patreon channel for further discussion of this alarming story. 

--

A proper dictatorship must have political prisoners. And so the Biden-Harris regime, whose November 3, 2020 coup de fraude was certified by all three corrupt branches of power by January 6, 2021, has exactly that: a burgeoning Gulag in the militarized nation's capital.

Politico reports

Most of the 300-plus people charged with participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot have been released while they await trial, but dozens of those deemed to be dangerous, flight risks or at high risk of obstructing justice were ordered held without bond. D.C. jail officials...

Join me at my Patreon channel to find out about a Very Big Story no one is talking about (psst, it has to do with the Bushes, the Bidens & Chinese influence operations). 

The only way to debunk or confirm this horrific claim that microscopic worms occur in disposable face masks is for professionals with access to microscopes to study disposable face masks. Now.  

 

This shining face is John Francis Foley, 21, who died in his sleep within 24 hours of being injected with the Johnson & Johnson brand of the experimental drug known as the "covid" "vaccine."

Update, April 18, 2021. The coronor, Laskshmi Sammarco, has spoken, her cock and bull story -- "the preliminary findings do not indicate any direct connection between his receiving a covid vaccine on Saturday and his death on Sunday" -- wreathed in concern about the drive to vaccinate "as a community, as a nation, as a world" which translates to "other things we are looking at for a primary cause of death."

Paul Joseph Watson reports:

UK: Police Break Down Door, Arrest Man For Violating COVID Quarantine Rules

I have posted Watson's story in full below. Kudos to him for bringing this act of police state terrorism to light. 

But then what? We watch, we recoil, we blow our tops. The surrealism of the charge -- failing to quarantine in a hotel -- is as destablizing as its enforcers: young, soft, masked. They have  just shattered the glass pane of a door, broken it down, terrified a little dog, invaded an Englishman's-home-is-his-castle, trampled the sovereign rights of the man and woman inside. But only a faint smugness escapes their masks. They convey the humanity of a motherboard as they make their arrest.  

But then what?

President Trump just doesn't stop pushing the injection of experimental gene therapies into Americans (imaginatively known as the "covid vaccine"), not even as the CDC counts 2,342 vaccine deaths between December 14, 2020 and April 1, 2021, along with nearly 8,000 "serious" injuries. In his pre-presidential life, however, Trump was more in line with vaccine skeptics. Shortly before entering the White House in 2017, he even tapped Robert Kennedy Jr., one of the nation's leading and most eloquent vaccine skeptics, to chair a vaccine safety commission.

That was then. Today. the 45th president in Mar-a-Lago exile is crowing about the (gag) "Trumpcine." -- aka the covid...

Photos by @2021 Peter Duke, used with kind permission

You probably never heard of Tinhorn Flats. I had not, not until photographer Peter Duke alerted me to a protest there this week, where he shot these photos. But all Americans should know about Tinhorn Flats, a Western-themed restaurant in the middle of Burbank, California, where Angelenos yearning to breathe free (maskless) of the corona hoax tyranny and peacefully assemble for beer and burgers according to their constitutional rights and good taste have rallied, and continue to rally, yes, for freedom.

Local media coverage sketches in only the outline of this small business's epic struggle against dictatorial Big Government and Big Tech, not to mention Big Fear and Big Apathy. The most recent account of...

A few weeks ago, I wrote an essay calling for the release of Thomas Caldwell, a retired naval officer who is one of hundreds of American patriots undergoing Soviet show-trial-style persecution by the US Justice Department for coming out to support the re-election of President Trump on Capitol Hill on January 6. 

Like so many of these cases, a careful reading of the court documents reveals the case to be especially egregious. It is apparent that the government has "mounted a deeply flawed case based on reckless and numerous errors about the accused. These errors alone should lead to the case's dismissal," as I wrote last month.

Now. Sharon Caldwell, retired Lt Commander Caldwell's wife, writes in:

Dear Ms. West,

Keeping the airwaves free of election fraud

--

Sanity check: Biden wasn't "elected." He was installed in a complex, all-government, both parties, media-wide coup. He and his fake vice president are puppets of forces that remain unknown to us.

However, now it is Victor Davis Hanson, who, never mind the garden-variety critique (Biden suffers from "meglomania), dispenses with 2020 election fraud and declares Biden the winner:

Biden got elected by unleashing others to insist that he was a healer, not a boisterous Trump-style divider, and by enlisting special interests to redefine how we vote.

"By enlisting special interests to redefine how we vote"? 

My hat is off to Hanson for the remarkable phraseology by which he is able to make every kind...

From the Washington Examiner, an op-ed by Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-1). 

"The swamp is out to drown me with false charges, but I'm not giving up"

Washington scandal cycles are predictable, and sex is especially potent in politics. Let me first remind everyone that I am a representative in Congress, not a monk, and certainly not a criminal.

Nancy Pelosi once defended President Bill Clinton after he got an intern to fellate him in the Oval Office. But when it comes to the allegation that I, a grown man, paid for an adult girlfriend’s expenses? Well, consider that a bridge too far for the power-hungry hypocrites.

I want to be clear about something as we process the leaks and lies from...

This a picture of Vladimir Bukovsky and Robert Conquest in the early 1980s. Bukovsky emailed it to me in January 2018. 

-- 

I have been thinking about moments when it appeared the truth would not only out but triumph and thought back to a blistering "told you so" phrase attributed to Robert Conquest and wondered when it was he was moved to say it.

It turns out he he didn't say it -- a relief, I must say since, however justified, it always made me wince. In a 2007 letter to the editor of the New York Review of Books, Conquest informs the public that it was "the ever-inventive" Kingsley Amis, not he, who coined the phrase.

The record, though, plays on.
