Book(s) recommendation

If you have not done so already, buy and read Matt Bracken’s trilogy about enemies, foreign and domestic. (If it’s been a while, by all means re-read them.)

Keep in mind that the first volume was published twenty years ago, and the latest is over ten years old.

Make a mental note every time you run across a plot element that has come true, either exactly or sufficiently close to count. The sum of those will astound you.

The books are an easy read, Bracken’s style is uncomplicated, and the pace will hold your interest.

Certain technical aspects may be unfamiliar to some readers, but rest assured that his descriptions are accurate. His two later novels are equally well worth it.

Normalizing Servitude

There is no end to the humiliation and degradation of those who believe we still live in a constitutional republic. We do not. The sooner folks understand that the United States of America of their youth is gone, consumed by the voracious appetite for power and control of the communists a long time ago, the better.
