The Insider Threat

Barack Obama transformed the U.S. national security, intelligence community, and law enforcement bureaucracies as no other president in history. This is an insider account of how it was done. Obama spent his first year in office trying to convince Americans that the US. should step back from leadership to create a "new world order" based on "balance of power" politics. But what he never said out loud was that this meant Washington would transfer power to our enemies. When Obama's 2009 worldwide "apology tour" proved a debacle, with most Americans finding his idea of "managing" America's decline abhorrent, Obama changed tack--to bureaucratic subversion. He spent the next eight years staging a stealth revolution inside America's most sensitive government agencies, using his ideological infighters to convert America's strategic objectives into those of China, Russia, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. In return, America's adversaries helped Obama and Joe Biden win elections, power and riches. Obama's policy of U.S. diminishment has shredded U.S. national security and U.S. credibility. It continues to dangerously empower U.S. adversaries to the present day. Equal parts George Orwell and Franz Kafka, Insider Threat exposes--for the first time--the secret playbook corrupt senior officials use to empower and enrich the hard Left and make administrative reform impossible. Renegade agencies annually waste hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, while undermining core U.S. national interests. Even long-time Washington insiders will be shocked at the extent of lawlessness that now passes for normal in America's administrative state.
