About the author

Russell Jack

1 book1 follower
Russell K. Jack is a best-selling and award-winning author.

He is also a retired US Senior Federal Air Marshal and freedom activist. He is passionate in his defense of democracy, currently under attack by the terrorist group known as MAGA (Make America Great Again). He hopes his book, Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement?, and his website magaterrorism.com will promote critical thinking about protecting our democracy, and just how precariously close we are to losing it forever.

Russell wrote this book not just as a catharsis for his struggles with patriotism versus the MAGA movement, but also as a handy guide for engaging in a debate with any MAGA supporter. Now one can say, “just read the book.” It is fully fact-checked and covers a wide array of MAGA's terrorist and criminal acts. The author also gives his unique insight into what it was like working with fellow agents who openly supported MAGA while employed by the federal government.

His book did not stop MAGA from taking control of our government.

Now, he is writing a sequel, "Defeating MAGA."

In it, he will once again present irrefutable facts proving how MAGA is a domestic enemy of America and the greatest threat we've ever faced. Join him in retaking our democracy back from the clutches of fascism and tyranny.

As always, he does not endorse intimidation, coercion, and violence for political purposes.

That is MAGA's purview ...

Eh. Not really what it claimed to be.

Every know and then I pick up a book to challenge my thinking and see whether I am missing something from the other side. This one did not fit that bill. I do not support MAGA extremism and never will. However, I believe the answer to our political divide cannot be helped by the approach of this work. We need unity, not division. We need to love each other, not spread hate.

If you read this book, know that I do not support either side of this issue. Both are extremely flawed.

✅ Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement? by Russell K. Jack (US Senior Federal Air Marshal, Retired)—“American democracy is being attacked by the extremist right. It isn’t hypothetical—it is happening right now!”
“Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement? explains the danger of the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement and why it should be considered a terrorist organization, using indisputable facts. Author Russell K. Jackie— a former US Federal Air Marshal who spent years inside the government, working alongside MAGA supporters—has decades of experience in detecting, deterring, and defeating terrorism and criminal activity.” Wow! This author does not pull any punches!! And….he verifies his facts! Just read his multiple pages of footnotes for his facts. A quick and succinct read that is highly organized and informative. Spot on! And, as he say, and I concur, “Just read the book.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would recommend reading this to everyone. It is well written and highly informative. I also enjoyed the author’s frequent sourcing with quicklinks to articles at my fingertips. I hope he does decide to write another book debunking every falsehood thus far.

This study by a retired federal air marshal brings a law enforcement view on MAGA movement as terroristic. This is not a novel argument, but it is is unsettling to read hear of his confirmation that MAGA support is endemic among law enforcement organizations, especially the leadership. Some highlights from my reading of this study which includes sources for all key facts:

A reminder of the casualties incurred during an event some still like to a typical tour or an orderly protest with participants let in bv security:

According to a bipartisan Senate report, approximately 140 police officers were injured during the January 6, 2021, attack on our country, and seven individuals, including three law enforcement officers, ultimately died.


Is Trump saying "Go home, we love you, you're very special" giving aid or comfort to internal enemies?
The Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution, the Constitution those persons are now sworn to protect, says this in Section 3: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.


A reminder of the guilt discovered among these MAGA insurrectionists:
There are literally hundreds of MAGA serving prison sentences right now for acts that meet this definition. Per an article from the U.S. Department of Justice, as of January 4, 2024, more than a thousand rioters have been arrested for their actions on January 6, with 749 of the federal defendants receiving sentences for their crimes.


"domestic terrorism"
The attack on the Capitol on January 6 was denounced as an act of domestic terrorism by the White House, the FBI, and the Department of Justice (DOJ).


An assessment on Trump and GOP I can agree with:
Look at all the ways Trump, when he was POTUS, tried to either weaken, disable, or control the different branches of government to ensure more power in the presidency and in his party. Look at the Republican Party that enabled, and still enables, him. If you want to destroy MAGA, call them out. But more importantly—vote them out.

In today’s United States, escaping the presence of MAGA, short for Make America Great Again, is nearly impossible. The slogan blazes across the iconic red caps worn by supporters of former President Donald Trump. Even beyond American borders, the movement’s influence is inescapable, its political ripples reaching into every corner of the modern world.

Russell Jack’s Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement? confronts a bold and unsettling question: Should MAGA be classified as a terrorist organization? And if so, what actions should follow such a designation? It’s a question loaded with political weight and moral complexity, yet one Jack approaches with meticulous care.

This nonfiction work is aimed squarely at readers curious about the movement’s nature and implications. Supporters of MAGA, as Jack acknowledges, are unlikely to turn its pages. For the rest, the book offers a methodical breakdown of the ideology, its origins, its stated aims, the tactics used to advance them, and the possible countermeasures available.

Jack writes from the perspective of a former U.S. Federal Air Marshal, bringing a disciplined, analytical approach to his subject. His conclusion is unequivocal: MAGA meets his criteria for a terrorist movement. That verdict will divide audiences, but his reasoning unfolds in structured, evidence-driven arguments rather than inflammatory rhetoric.

The research is extensive, the tone measured. Jack resists sensationalism, preferring logic over emotional appeals. While the book’s message will resonate most strongly with a particular political demographic, it remains a sharp, thought-provoking examination of a controversial movement. For readers aligned with his perspective or those willing to engage with it, this is an incisive, well-crafted work steeped in both conviction and clarity.

This guy is clearly biased and goes too far to the extreme. He thinks he sounds smart but he's not.
He twisted Bible verses out of context to suit his message when the Bible verses does not mean what he says they mean. He clearly has no understanding of the Bible. He clearly doesn't understand Marxist ideology and how it is destroying America.
Since he's so fond of mentioning past dead presidents and the Constitution he forgot that when the country was founded they would pray to God before any sessions in legislation, prayer and Bible reading was legal in schools so his religious accusations are bullshit and anti-constitution. John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free. This country is no longer a moral country and we need it to return to morality. This guy needs to read Legislating Morality by Norman L Geisler & Frank Turek. This guy clearly supports immortal behavior and is a part of the problem. Since he likes to accuse people of being pesudo-patriotic, he should look at himself in the mirror.
