The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon
Every day, ICE is arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants with a criminal record. They didn’t just come here. They were sent here.
Our debates about immigration revolve around what happens with immigrants once they arrive.
We need to start talking about who is sending them and why. For decades, establishment elites
sold us the story of immigration as a compassionate renewal of the American Dream within a harmonious melting pot.
But beneath that narrative lies a different Mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the United States—one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad. Now Peter Schweizer, the bestselling investigative journalist of our time, is blowing the lid off this whole series of schemes,
• Mexico’s Election How Mexico’s 50+ consulates are running a shadow campaign to sway U.S. elections.
• CCP Spy $$$ The U.S. visa program designed by a Chinese spy that lets Beijing pour tens of millions into our elections.
• POTUS Foreign Voter How three American presidents minted unvetted “instant citizens”—including criminals—to stack the voter rolls.
• The Mexican president admits that mass migration is a tool to reclaim and conquer America’s Southwest.
• “Manchurian Generation” Ballot More than one million Chinese with U.S. citizenship who grew up on the Communist mainland will soon start voting in American elections.
Backed by years of forensic fieldwork and a trove of confidential documents and intercepted communications—linking political leaders, global NGOs, and even drug cartels—Schweizer detonates a political shock wave eclipsing his past bombshells, revelations that have sparked FBI probes and bipartisan reforms.
Urgent, shocking, and overflowing with national security implications, The Invisible Coup makes
America’s greatest political threat visible for all to see—and solve.

Peter Schweizer’s The Invisible Coup presents immigration as a deliberate assault on American sovereignty orchestrated by foreign powers, domestic “elites,” and assorted shadow actors. The book frames these claims as investigative revelations, yet the overall structure resembles an accusation delivered to an already sympathetic jury.
Schweizer’s background is relevant. His previous books, including Clinton Cash and Secret Empires, and his editorial role at Breitbart, have placed him firmly within a combative partisan ecosystem. Past criticisms over selective sourcing and factual errors recur here in the form of sweeping inferences and a tendency to assume intent rather than demonstrate it.
The prose signals its stance from the outset. When the first page depicts:
“a haze of smoke drifted across the street where masses of protesters inciting violence waved foreign flags in the breeze… On the surface, these scenes painted a jarring picture of the consequences of an open border policy”
the reader is not being invited to consider competing explanations or viewpoints. Instead, they are being told what to fear and whom to blame. That rhetorical approach substitutes intensity for balance and assertion for evidence.
As a result, The Invisible Coup functions less as analysis than as a political brief. It may satisfy readers who share its premises, but those seeking rigorous argument or empirical nuance will find it thin, tendentious, and more interested in stoking alarm than in clarifying a complex policy debate.

The Invisible Coup
By Peter Schweizer
It is almost your civic duty to read or listen to this book. It will enlighten you as to “what is going on” with all of the protests and violence in our country.
Have you wondered why the left opened the flood gates as if we had no borders during the last administration? Why the social justice warriors wreaking havoc in the streets are mostly white liberals? Why do they take up the “cause” of everyone who is against the interest of the United States?
Mr. Schweizer lays it out pretty well. While some of it is shadowy and clandestine, most of it is not. The details can be found in headlines here and around the world. Apparently you simply need to know where to look, and more importantly know how to connect the dots. This book does that.
Most of it comes down to a couple of old adages which remain true.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
If someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Mr. Schweizer does not call for some major police action against the coordinated insurgency which has been active in our country for decades. He simply lays out facts so perhaps we will see what is right in front of us.

This book illustrates how an abundance of citations can mask, but not compensate for, fundamentally poor research. Despite a bibliography of 61 pages, the work is characterized by superficial analysis, selective sourcing, and a persistent effort to bend evidence to fit the author’s preconceived theories.
The prose is immature and imprecise, marked by conjecture and recurring misquotations that undermine any claim to scholarly seriousness. The result is not a contribution to the field, but a cautionary example of how quantity can be mistaken for rigor.
The book offers little value and does not merit further critical attention.

The book appeals directly to conservative readers who believe that "establishment elites" and foreign powers (such as Mexico) are deliberately using mass migration to reshape the U.S.. Many positive reviewers likely feel their existing concerns are being validated and exposed by the author.
The book has been heavily promoted in conservative media circles, including a nod from Donald Trump, which helps drive up sales and positive engagement from supporters. Not shocking but disappointing.
Criticized as propaganda by some, for easily discernible reasons, the book is framed as a "deeply researched" investigative work based on "confidential documents and intercepted communications.” This gives it a veneer of credibility that resonates with readers looking for validation of conspiracy-focused narratives rather than mainstream media accounts.
The book's thesis—that immigration is a "weapon" rather than a policy challenge—is designed to be emotionally compelling and to spark "political shockwaves". This creates a high, passionate engagement among readers who agree with the premise, resulting in 5-star reviews.

The book title tells it all!
Shocking, but true, finally a roadmap to where we are today and if nothing is immediately done by our split leadership, where it may lead to is very upsetting to me as a Vet and retired American dream survivor.

The Invisible Coup advances a deeply unsettling argument: that mass immigration in the modern West is not merely a humanitarian phenomenon or economic inevitability, but increasingly a tool deliberately used by foreign governments, domestic political actors, NGOs, multinational corporations, activist networks, foundations, and churches, especially the Catholic Church, to reshape electorates, overwhelm institutions, and neutralize democratic resistance.
Schweizer’s claim is not that immigrants themselves are the problem. On the contrary, the book repeatedly emphasizes that immigrants are often the pawns, the instruments, rather than the authors of the strategy he describes. What is at issue is not migration per se, but the political exploitation of migration at scale.
Chapter 1: Proof of Concept
Schweizer opens with a historical case study that serves as proof of concept. When Fidel Castro released thousands of criminals, intelligence assets, and mentally ill individuals into Florida during the 1980 Mariel boatlift, the episode demonstrated that migration could be weaponized as an instrument of state policy. While many Marielitos were ordinary Cubans seeking freedom, Castro’s deliberate inclusion of destabilizing elements showed that mass migration could function as more than a humanitarian release valve—it could be used to impose costs and chaos on a rival society.
[Aside: Obama deported 3M illegal aliens during his regime because he knew the research that the Marielitos decreased Black high school dropouts income by as much as 30%
Chapters 2–5: Contemporary Mechanisms
Schweizer then turns to the mechanisms through which migration is leveraged today.
At the state and quasi-state level, he examines how Mexico facilitates northbound flows as a form of political leverage and a form of Reconquista, reconquering its former territory. This may sound bizarre, but several Mexican presidents have explicitly stated that as their objective.
China exploits Western citizenship and family-law systems through birth tourism operations, industrial-scale surrogacy and IVF pipelines, and so-called “maternity hotels” clustered near U.S. hospitals. These practices, Schweizer argues, are not random or marginal, but organized, financed, and tolerated by U.S. officials.
He also describes the role of transnational NGOs (including churches), which function as logistical infrastructure, coordinating transport, legal assistance, housing, and political advocacy, often shielded from scrutiny by humanitarian language and moral prestige.
Domestically, Schweizer is unsparing. He argues that Western political elites have not merely failed to enforce immigration law; in some cases, they have deliberately violated it, creating demographic facts on the ground that cannot easily be reversed. Voter-registration loopholes, sanctuary jurisdictions that openly defy federal law, and administrative amnesty through non-enforcement all serve, in his account, to convert migration into durable political power.
I’ll distill the opening quote for the book from Cicero’s wisdom thousands of years ago
Cicero’s famous warning about treason from within is reminder that states most often fall not by invasion, but by elite betrayal, the consequences of a society growing too weary to defend the norms it once considered non-negotiable, and the slow burning corrosion of law.
Chapter 6: Importing the Revolution
In one of the book’s most controversial sections, Schweizer examines ideological movements that explicitly frame migration as a civilizational strategy. One that features prominently is the Mexican FMLN. The other is factions associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose literature describes migration not as neutral movement, but as a form of long-term political struggle. As Abu Basir wrote, “Immigration and jihad go together. One is the consequence of the other and dependent on it.”
Schweizer’s point is not that migrants uniformly share such views, but that ideological actors openly articulate goals that Western elites refuse even to acknowledge.
Chapter 7: Progressives and Drug Cartels
Here Schweizer is careful to draw a crucial distinction. He does not argue that immigrants are inherently disloyal, criminal, or conspiratorial. Rather, he shows how systems can be exploited even when individuals act in good faith. Progressive political movements, organized crime, and cartel networks all benefit, often simultaneously, from weakened borders, and overwhelmed enforcement.
Chapter 8: The Catholic Church
One of the most fraught chapters examines the Catholic Church’s role. Schweizer argues that the Church has become an outsized institutional actor in migration advocacy, creating a vast infrastructure of charity, service, and political pressure under Catholic auspices.
He contrasts Karol Wojtyła (Pope St. John Paul II), whose anti-communism was forged under totalitarian rule, with Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis), whose Latin American context shaped a theology deeply influenced by liberation theology, extreme inequality, violence, drug wars, ecological degradation, and massive internal and cross-border migrations. The question is not motive, but consequence. Drawing on Gustavo Gutiérrez’s definition of liberation theology as a movement aimed at “a profound transformation of the private property system, access to power of the exploited class, and a social revolution,” Schweizer situates Bergoglio’s pastoral priorities within a broader ideological tradition. [As a student at Fairfield U, a Jesuit institution, I was steeped in Gutiérrez, Boff, Segundo, Sobrino and other liberation theologians; this stuff I know; it's transformative...right into socialism.]
Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, exemplifies this alignment when he argues that supporting the return of migrants to collapsed societies constitutes formal cooperation with intrinsic evil, comparable to abortion. Such statements, Schweizer argues, effectively sacralize one policy position while foreclosing democratic debate.
Pope Francis’s condemnation of barriers to migration as a grave moral evil, along with the Vatican’s 20 Pastoral Action Points [well worth reading!], envisions a borderless world (a dream shared by George Soros as well) in which migrants benefit from any pension plan available to natives. This from the walled city of the Vatican, which admits no refugees or migrants at all.
Clergy and religious often live like children, willfully ignoring the pragmatic consequences of their idealism.
Not so the rebuked Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who went so far as to accuse the Pope of “destroying civil society” through what he called an indiscriminate invasion of Europe. Within the same moral tradition, radically distinct judgments about migration coexist, but institutional power has increasingly aligned with one side of that divide.
I cannot resist juxtaposing the perspective of the Catholic Church under Bergoglio with that of the Dalai Lama: “There are too many refugees in Europe,” and this “makes it difficult in practice….Europe, and for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country….And morally speaking, I think that refugees can only be taken in on a temporary basis. The goal should be to return them and help them to rebuild their own countries.”
The book opens our eyes, which then imposes responsibility.
Chapter 10: Fighting Back
Schweizer concludes with concrete proposals:
1. Ban dual citizenship. Foreign governments pay for their citizens to become US citizens
2. Improve vetting of immigrants and refugees. Do not reduce English language or civil knowledge requirements
3. Ban political donations from non-citizens. “Tens of millions of dollars flow into our elections every campaign cycle from foreign nationals and…cannot even be identified as such.”
4. Ban birth tourism and surrogacy as a means of citizenship. The authors of the 14th Amendment did not envision foreign nationals sending gametes to the US to “have a child born in an American womb…as a US citizen” (an organized effort of the Chinese elite class)
5. Expel foreign diplomats and close the consulates of foreign nations that are engaged in political activities inside the US, which interfere in domestic political affairs
6. Enforce the laws that restrict the participation of foreign nationals and foreign political organizations in American politics
7. Review student visas vigorously for radical foreign political affiliations and fields of study with military applications
8. Increase Congressional oversight of the US citizenship process (retain background checks, do not use immigration to fabricate new voters)
Whether one agrees with every recommendation or not, The Invisible Coup forces a reckoning with a question Western societies have tried to avoid: who controls the future of democratic nations—their citizens, or the systems that quietly reshape them?

Clergy and religious often live like children, willfully ignoring the pragmatic consequences of their idealism.
This is compassion without discernment: a moral posture activated by political identity rather than by consistent principle, indifferent to the long-term costs imposed on the nation. What presents as mercy is, in practice, an incapacity to weigh costs, enforce norms, or apply standards consistently.
Not so the rebuked Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who went so far as to accuse the Pope of “destroying civil society” through what he called an indiscriminate invasion of Europe.

The Invisible Coup is unsettling not because it invents a grand conspiracy, but because it documents how ordinary bureaucratic incentives, ideological blind spots, and cynical political calculations can produce revolutionary outcomes without a single shot being fired.
The book opens our eyes, which then imposes responsibility.

This book is very disturbing. Schweizer has delivered another outstanding, well-researched book. He details the Reconquista movement that Mexico and several NGOs have been pushing for the past ten years. This is a movement that wants to "retake" the Western states that were lost by Mexico at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. They say these territories were "stolen" by the U.S. when in fact they were conquered by the U.S., and they were also paid $15 million for the land (in 1848 dollars). They don't necessarily want to retake the land, but they are perfectly fine with controlling or destroying America through their citizens taking over the government and politicians. They will do this by mass migration in which their citizens would obtain dual citizenship, but never assimilate and retain their loyalty to Mexico. Pope Francis was an advocate for open borders, and the Catholic church has moved to the extreme left in regard to immigration.
Bernie Sanders, the Marxist senator from Vermont, created Progressive International in 2018 to help assist in the influx of mass migration to the United States with the assistance of the drug cartels in Central and South America. The Marxist members of congress, who portray themselves as Democrat Socialists, have embraced our enemies in foreign countries in their desire to fundamentally change America and the Western world. There are additional threats from China, and the huge escalation of mass immigration from there (including birth tourism), the Muslim immigration explosion (which has totally changed the demographics of my neighborhood in New York), and the insane open borders policy Biden had during his horrific term. Stating all of this should not be considered xenophobic, but that is how the Left portrays anyone who expresses concern. It should be noted that the three years with the highest immigration levels are 1996, 2012, and 2022, all election years, two of which were Clinton's and Obama's reelection years. The Democrats know how to create new voters.
This book was difficult to read at times, because the disgust and alarm were overwhelming. The only factors that give me hope are the recent actions by this president, and the clear indication that there are surprising and positive developments in South America. The fact that some countries are electing conservative presidents who are supposedly free from cartel money is a welcome change. It was recently revealed that Paraguay has welcomed an American presence, and Ecuador has allowed the FBI to open a permanent field office in their country. Not to mention Venezuela. These are shocking developments in an effort to take on the drug cartels and their deadly influence. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

There is only one thing schweizer is correct about. This is not a Capitalist’s Great Replacement Theory, but then he will still believe in it anyway. Anyway, same crap. You know, this book is not xenophobic paranoia and not against other people who have to assimilate into white culture, but then this book does all these things. It is just coded hatred of the other. A lot of nonsense.
Let’s argue out of fun that their are groups sent by Mexican government to undermine American values from within. Maybe it would not work if American values weren’t the same as we’ve seen so often: hatred and suspicion of the other, trying to cause suspicion of the other, all that.
Whatever. Just a book by a person and their movement.
Our brave little Petey mentions dangerous foreign political organizations funded by foreign governments to try change the American way of life, but he knows there are just a few tiny zealots without much impact.
Anyway we all know that America itself never dares to stoop so low and do the same things even more aggressively in other countries.
Just a book a person would normally laugh off, but unfortunately one dare not with this administration.
I think we need to find schweizer a new target for anger in his next book. He wants the royalties. Must find him something him and his buddies can really enjoy hating yet again.
I have heard hating Climate Change proponents is coming into fashion.
Or we could do the tried and true one. Fimd a Palestinian in America who has criticized something American and then spin him and his relatives into the worst danger ever.
Oh Petey somehow has forgotten about Russian influence.
Look whatever, hopefully will always be quite insignificant. Yes, know NY Times bestseller, but we can only hope enough normal, younger Americans will eventually get past his agendas.

Very sobering.

The publication’s main argument is that several nations, drug cartels, the pope, and American politicians are using mass migration as a lever by which they can exert political control over vast portions of the U.S. population. But the intro specifically states that it is not talking about the great replacement theory. OK, noted.
There are some solid arguments because migration creates communities and communities vote to elect candidates that have their interests in mind. Campaign donations from non U.S. citizens or groups should be banned. Birth tourism does indeed sounds nefarious and exploitative of people and also of birthright. R-1 visas which are used for religious purposes also require a better process.
Latino communities are ever increasing and receive most of the attention in the publication. It is worth noting that they will naturally vote with continued immigration in mind. Is that bad? The author argues that it is indeed bad because Latinos are mostly left leaning.
I personally took issue with his stance on people born outside the U.S. that have pride in their country and heritage. I am Puerto Rican and it is known fact that ever since occupation by U.S., Puerto Rican national sentiment is frowned upon and in a no so distant past punished severely — see the Law 53 aka Gag Law.

Worked under Alejandro Mayorkas and several of the noted situations were on point. Also reminded of specific experiences during my time at USCIS. They were spot on with what happened.

I dont even need to read anymore to understand this concept is intentionally cruel and entirely fabricated. What the fuck

Kind of boring. Book focuses on Mexican, Chinese, and Arabic immigrants. Personally, I don’t like Canadians or Texans either. The only immigrants I find tolerable are from Kazakhstan & Laos.

Peter Schweizer’s “The Invisible Coup,” works best as an argument as to how foreign powers are utilizing mass immigration as a weapon against the United States. Schweizer’s goal is to form a case of sorts, laying out the different groups worldwide that actively send or enact policies that send immigrants to the United States. These various groups possess different reasons for their support of immigration into the United States, but, in Schweizer’s view, it ends with a net detriment to American Citizens. Schweizer backs up his claims with a plethora of sources provided at the end of the book.
Schweizer’s view does not solely focus on one view of immigration. He covers the how and why Mexico is supporting immigration into the United States, with their claims that the treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo was invalid and how territories within the United States actually belong to them. He covers the goals of China, a major competitor to the US on the world stage, who sees many of their citizens coming to the United States on student visas or on birthing trips. He touches on ideas of religious groups, like the Muslim brotherhood or even the Catholic Church, and how they encourage mass migration. Schweizer even describes how this mass migration has benefited certain policy makers within the United States through things like census changes. Schweizer’s main argument focuses on how “adversaries have used immigration to establish political networks in the United States that we must dismantle to preserve our national sovereignty.”
Schweizer presents a very convincing argument that holds up under some scrutiny, however, his book his weak when it comes to the presentation of counter arguments. Schweizer present a lot of the arguments for his side, but it feels like he explains his conclusion as if it’s the only possible one. He touches on some counter arguments, but I don’t think he takes the counter arguments to their full extent. His argument would be even stronger if he emphasize the counter arguments more and provided sources that further weakened those arguments. However, I understand why Schweizer did not include these. The book was already long and it likely did not fit the scope he was going for with this piece. Still, something more would’ve made this book more scholarly.

I think every adult citizen of the United States should read this book. Eye opening!! With 61 pages of footnotes and sources cited, it is very clear that this is a book based on facts and not opinions or propaganda.

Lots of detailed information about how the US is being eroded due to other countries plans and actions to infuse our population with foreign influences. Great details about this quiet invasion, but I would have liked to see a more expansive and logical set of potential suggested actions that we might take to recoup the basic historical content of our US population with freedom of speech and collective actions to preserve our democracy.

If Schweizer is to be believed (and his allegations are backed up with nearly 50 pages of citations in tiny print), our republic as we’ve known it is doomed. For generations, Americans were taught about immigrants fueling the giant melting pot that is the US. But circumstances have changed, with a large number of immigrants having no desire to assimilate into American culture.
The media has made much of Russia supposedly trying to influence American elections, completely ignoring the Mexicans doing the same thing. The Mexican government speaks openly of its desire to reclaim the American southwest, known as the “Reconquista.” Mexican officials in US cities work with activist groups to influence the votes of migrants, reminding Mexican immigrants that they will always be Mexican at heart.
However, this is not the only ethnic group with a focus on taking over the US. The most sophisticated mass immigration schemes come from the Chinese via birth tourism, surrogacy births (most of these children are raised in China, until of voting age), and the fraud-ridden EB-5 immigration program, where applicants can buy US citizenship but continue to live in China.
Further chapters cover the Islamist view of migration, used as a tool to destroy Western civilization; direct ties between progressive politicians, drug cartels, and human traffickers; the liberation theology of Pope Francis and his advocacy for unfettered immigration; the massive surge of immigrants into the US during the Biden administration, and even training Chinese pilots in US flight schools, with the $90,000 tuition paid by the Chinese government. Politicians are complicit in the process, seeing in these new immigrant citizens a way to generate new voters, conveniently ignoring criminal background checks and the English language requirement.
Truly, a scary and depressing book that every American should read.

While this book looks like it is well researched, it stops just short of a lot of actual facts by omission and personal feelings. It talks about people immigrating as a way to take over our country, but doesn't focus on the fact that many people immigrating, from the exact countries listed by the author, were escaping totalitarian regimes, cartels, oppression, and/or violence. There's no look at any other POV. It feels like a conclusion was made and then they try to prove it, instead of taking full facts and then making a conclusion.

America no more!
This book should be read by everyone who loves and appreciates the USA. We are losing our country and we need to stop it. You'll be infuriated to see the efforts in place by adversaries and the Vatican to infiltrate and overtake the USA for subversive abuse of this compassionate country known as America. There are networks in place that just like in Cuba, promise one thing (free stuff and liberation for gays & women, only to abandon those promises and intentionally implement totally different rules. They admit they lie to get elected.

A knowledge base for sovereignty
This book provides extremely important information reflecting the dangers present at this time due to the open border policy of Biden and the progressive democrats.

Didn't really enjoy reading this book. Lot of facts if you are looking to debate someone regarding the issues of mass illegal immigration into the USA. Just page after page of facts and quotes. Lot of information but not an enjoyable read if that is what you are looking for.

This is a book everyone in America needs to read. The massive illegal alien invasion is totally explained and it is frightening. The benefactors of this invasion include Mexico, Latin America, China, American politicians, cartels and even the Catholic Church. It's obvious that our politicians want this surge for votes also underhanded funding for their campaigns. The foreign countries despise Western culture and want to dismantle it. Capitalism must be destroyed. These countries were sending their worst to our country - their criminals and mentally ill. They emptied their prisons and their insane asylums. Many who came here are not coming for a better life that our country could afford them; no, they came with their beliefs and culture of the country they were leaving. They came not to assimilate but retain their socialist's beliefs and to infiltrate our country and destroy our Western civilization. To quote Abraham Lincoln ""If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide". These countries do not need to drop bombs on us to conquer us, they only need to come here in large numbers and destroy our country using our own laws to do it.

Peter Schweitzer paints a dark future for our country. There are certainly organized forces opposed to the American idea and culture. But they dont necessarily have to succeed. He ends by enumerating several key measures we can take to defeat those forces. Thankfully these measures are now being openly discussed.

Very informative and infuriating. My number one political issue. Everything I thought about immigration was confirmed in this book. The democrats have to be stopped. What Biden Obama Clinton and other democrats facilitated was criminal. We are in serious trouble and the mainstream media is complicit in covering up the truth. Mexico China Cuba All of Latin America the Catholic Church communists everywhere. We're under attack. Scary stuff but very informative.

Well researched and very troubling account of the takeover of the USA by illegal migrants from various countries. Peter Schweizer lays out all the ways countries like Mexico, China and other nations allow their citizens to quite literally storm America in an attempt to change our structure and laws. Regrettably too many in the USA feel uncontrolled migration is showing kindness and being welcoming to outsiders is a duty we have. No such understanding was enshrined in the Constitution and for centuries people who wished to become Americans went through the proper channels and swore an oath of allegiance to this country. No more. It is time to stop this mass invasion and require documentation be completed, English be required and we turn away anyone who presents a threat to us. That is not hateful, it is caring for our own citizens first which is exactly what every nation should do. This is an eye opening and disturbing book that should result in a change in our laws.

Mr. Schweizer has once again has done a tremendous service to our country. Nonetheless the Leftist Lunatic Democrats will demonize the book. They demonize everything that does not fit their Leftist Ideology perfectly.
Obviously our great President read the book . Just look at what he has done since the book was published . He captured Maduro and is in the process of destroying every weapon in Iran and will no doubt give the people of Iran a chance at freedom from the tyranny of the Islamofascists . What they do with that I cannot predict.
If Donald Trump was not elected in 2024 our country would be gone . We have a chance to save it . We must fight with every ounce of strength we have to save America.

A shocking book about the coup helped by Clinton, Obama, and Biden. I don't know if this country can take another Democrat president. Look at the states they run, dreadful. The book provides a lot of information. It's not the most exciting read but it is very cringe worthy as of how bad the last 3 Democrat presidents have been. Biden should never have been president without the Scamdemic of 2020 and mail in ballots and the sudden improvement of his votes late at night when no one was watching. I would recommend this book to everyone who is a patriot and even liberals who won't believe their own incompetence. Maybe a handful of them will not be literally crazy after reading this book.

This is a cautionary tale, a warning by a well-published author. As in his other deeply researched books, Schweitzer describes how immigration is being weaponized in plain sight by three entities: Mexico and its Reconquista i.e. to reclaim lands "stolen" in the Mexican War; China's "Manchurian Generation" created via birth citizenship; and the Muslim Brotherhood's jihad against the individualism and free market capitalism of the West. These civilization ending efforts are abetted by progressive elitists and our congressmen and senators either for power or in virtue signaling naiveté. This is not an easy read but a necessary one.
