<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Pulls no punches in dissecting the history of how America has justified its own imperialistic aims."--<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Dick Russell</b> <p/>As politicos and pundits wring their hands about alleged Russian collusion and meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections, Dan Kovalik reminds us that the US has been meddling in other countries' elections and democratic processes for decades, and with terrible results. <p/>While the US holds itself out as a beacon of democracy and freedom in the world, the US's actions stray quite far from this pretense. From Vietnam in the 1950s, when the US blocked elections which would have allowed the Vietnamese people to vote for a unified country and for their own president, to the overthrow of democratic governments in Iran and Guatemala and the consequent installation of brutal regimes which killed tens of thousands, the US has undermined democracies in ways which make the alleged Russian "meddling" (the sum total of which involve claims of social media posts and computer hacking) look like mere child's play. <p/><i>The Plot to Control the World</i> details these instances of US interference and other instances of meddling in other countries' democratic processes, such as in Nicaragua, Haiti, Venezuela, Greece, the Congo, Honduras, and even in Russia in the very recent past. These examples put the current allegations against Vladimir Putin and Russia into historical context and challenge the reader to consider that, if the US does not want other countries to interfere in its elections, it may be high time for the US to stop its interference in other countries around the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>***Praise for Dan Kovalik's <i>The Plot to Attack Iran</i>*** <p/> "This review of critical incidents of recent history is a treasure trove of information that Americans should know, but scarcely do, and a very valuable corrective to prevailing mythology about our innocence threatened by the evil enemy. Deeply informed, it could hardly be more timely or urgent." ?Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus at MIT and laureate professor at the University of Arizona <p/> ***<i>Praise for </i>The Plot to Scapegoat Russia</i>*** <p/><b>A powerful contradiction</b> to the present US narrative of the world . . . As shown here, fake news is thriving in Washington, DC.<br>--Oliver Stone, Academy Award winning director and screenwriter <p/>"<b><i>The Plot to Scapegoat Russia</b></i> is a <b>beautifully written, uncommonly coherent, and very compelling</b> treatise on the issues facing America today... a troubling indictment of where we've been and where we're headed. Moreover, <b>this book is profoundly important</b>, and a timely retrospective review of American foreign policy misadventures since the advent of the Cold War."<br>--Phillip F. Nelson, author of <i>LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination and LBJ: From Mastermind to "The Colossus"</i> <p/>"<b><i>The Plot to Scapegoat Russia</b></i> underscores how the CIA's infiltration and shaping of the media, which began in the 1950s, successfully continues today. <b>A very worthwhile account</b> for anyone who wants to understand how 'reality' is manufactured, while 'real truth' is murdered and buried."<br>--Peter Janney, author of <i>Mary's Mosaic: The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for World Peace</i> <p/>"<b>This highly recommended book offers material so encompassing as to belie its small size.</b> Kovalik's writing is clear, evocative, and readable. Along the way, he recalls those causes and the outrage that fired up activists who were his contemporaries."<br>--<i>Counterpunch</i> <p/>"Kovalik presents <b>a persuasive case</b> that the demonization of Russia and Putin is being used to justify war and more conflict with ever increasing military budget. Attorney Dan Kovalik has written <b>an extremely important book that challenges the current media/political focus on "Russia-gate"</b> and warns that dark forces of war are taking us in an ever more dangerous direction. "<br>--Rick Sterling, <i>Telesur</i> <p/>"At a time when the U.S. military budget is again soaring to enrich the oligarchs, this <b>timely and thought-provoking</b> book turns Orwellian 'double-think' on its head in a cogent analysis of what's really behind all the saber-rattling against Russia. In <b>a scholarly but also deeply personal and fluidly written work</b>, Dan Kovalik pulls no punches in dissecting the history of how America has justified its own imperialistic aims through the Cold War era and right up to the current anti-Putin hysteria."<br>--Dick Russell, <i> New York Times </i> bestselling author of <i>Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Men Who Are Destroying Life on Earth and What It Means to Our Children</i> <p/>"<b><i>The Plot to Scapegoat Russia</b></i> confronts the timeliest of subjects, the effort to resuscitate the Cold War by blaming Russian president Vladimir Putin for interfering in the 2016 presidential campaign on behalf of Donald Trump, an effort pursued by CIA and the Democratic Party working in tandem. Kovalik establishes... that not a scintilla of evidence has emerged to grant credibility to this self-serving fantasy... [and he] <b>deftly eviscerates the mainstream press</b>. Reading [this book] will be <b>salutary, illuminating and more than instructive</b>."<br>--Joan Mellen, author of <i>Faustian Bargains: Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace in the Robber Baron Culture of Texas</i> <p/>"Kovalik's careful dissection of the US record makes Russia's transgressions pale in comparison... [This] book provides <b>a most timely analysis and documentation</b> to combat the unholy alliance of neo-conservatives and liberals fomenting heightened world tensions."<br>--Roger D. Harris, member of the State Central Committee of the Peace and Freedom Party in California<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dan Kovalik</b> is the author of critically-acclaimed <i>The Plot to Scapegoat Russia</i> and <i>The Plot to Attack Iran</i> and has been a labor and human rights lawyer since graduating from Columbia Law School in 1993.
