America's Nightmare [Paperback]

John Stanton (Author), Wayne Madsen (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2003

It is said that "the truth hurts, yet the truth will set you free." John Stanton and Wayne & Wayne Madsen drill down to the nerve and deliver the full story about America's Media & Language, War & Weapons, Internal Affairs and a variety of other issues pointing out the US "crisis without precedent" that was wrought by the US Presidential election of 2000 followed by 9/11. "At a time when the American people and, indeed, the people of the world, find that facts are in such short supply, this book is a must read. In times such as these, the truth is one of the greatest of all casualties. This book provides quick First Aid to those who seek relief from the propaganda and disinformation that flood the major information channels." -- Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Representative, Georgia

5.0 out of 5 stars Information you won't find anywhere else, December 25, 2003

This review is from: America's Nightmare (Paperback)

This book is a collection of essays written between December 2000 and January 2003. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including propoganda in the U.S. media, the role of Sun Myung Moon in the current administration, global arms trade, the CIA international death squad, the relationship between the House of Saud and al Qaeda, Draconian government practices since 9/11, and the overarching role of oil in U.S. foreign policy. These essays were not written for entertainment purposes but to reveal the realities of life here and abroad since the Bush administration came to power. Quite simply, you will find here information that you will not find anywhere else. Very little of it is pleasant, but I challenge anyone to refute the facts presented by these two noted researchers.

4.0 out of 5 stars The TRUTH hurts...and the truth is Bush is worse then...., June 14, 2004

This review is from: America's Nightmare (Paperback)

...Clinton when it comes to fabricating facts and using deliberate deceptions and falsehoods to manipulate public opinion. From tax cuts based on an economic bubble that already burst, to lies about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and everything inbetween, George Bush has proved he's no conservative. If anything, he's a 'Dixiecrat'...tied to oil and extractive industries, agri-business and economics based on destroying the middle class on behalf of the rich and the multi-national corporations. Say what you will about Ronald Reagan, he cared deeply about the middle class and the American dream. And George Bush is no Ronald Reagan; Ronald Reagan would NEVER have sold out the American people for a handful of conglomerates and a bunch of lunatic pro-Israel religious ideologues. Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater would be turning over in their graves at what Bush has done to our proud nation. This book has some flaws, but's it has succeeded in putting together a handy summary of the truth about the Bush2 Administration. It's definately a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Will Set You Free, February 19, 2005

This review is from: America's Nightmare (Paperback)

This was a great book. Very informative and finally one that exposes the Conservative Mafia that runs this country. The Bush administration, the junta, is a maniacal filth machine run by a bunch of thugs.

The smear campaign that they used to malign Jessica Lynch - the despicable Rove character assassination machinery soon went into full gear when she admitted they fabricated and lied about her situation in Iraq, hyping her capture for blatent political purposes, the Hollywood-like production used by White House and Pentagon propagandists to document her rescue from an Iraqi
hospital, where she was receiving medical treatment for her injuries (and not abuse by Iraqi soldiers) Poor Jessica found out what it is like to go from America's wholesome young heroine to an accused tart. All this, merely for confronting the evil Karl Rove. And Jessica was not the first, nor the last innocent person to incur the wrath of the White House.

All the planting of bogus stories in the media, production of counterfeit documents, the theft of campaign materials and internal documents, production of false witnesses, electronic eavesdropping, misuse of government resources, unethical political polling techniques, intimidation of minority voters, and "whispering campaigns" to advance the sordid agenda of the
neo-conservative, extreme right wing of the Republican Party.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Karl Rove and all his cronies, including President Bush "frog marched" out of the White House in handcuffs for thir criminal activity and for undermining and ignoring every document that the framers of our country have written.

The good people of this nation have got their own 'Most Wanted' list" of senior Bush administration officials and it would not
be a complete list without Rove's name on it.

In an era when the battle cry is, "If you're not with us, you're against us," one can't help but see all the smoke and mirrors designed by Rove to mask his special brand of political conniving - a brand of subterfuge and chicanery that is copied from his Teutonic cousins who practiced it so well in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s.

The American people need to be afraid of this administration - to be very afraid. As it was once said, not very long ago, for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. The American people are doing nothing to stop this onslaught of fascism.

One of the previous reviewers called the author of this book a Bush hater. No surprise there. There's a lot to hate about Bush and he's well deserving of it.
