Antidotes to fake news

Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections, by Mollie Hemingway (Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, 2021). Hardcover: 448 pages. ISBN: 978- 1684512591. RRP: US$30.00
Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the U.S. media portrayed a Democratic victory in 2020 as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporised dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family's corruption. And Democratic operatives, exploiting a public health crisis, shamelessly manipulated the voting process itself. Silenced and subjected, the American people lost their faith in the system.

Rigged is the definitive account of the disputed 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway's exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices and Donald Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats' historic power-grab.

Mollie Hemingway (née Ziegler) is one of America's most respected journalists. She is a senior editor at The Federalist, a contributor to Fox News, and the co-author of the #1 national bestseller Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court (Regnery, 2019). Her sensational and copiously researched exposé is a reminder for weary patriots that truth is still the most powerful weapon. The stakes for U.S. democracy have never been higher.

January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right, by Julie Kelly (Brentwood, TN: Bombardier Books, 2021). Paperback: 320 pages. ISBN: 978-1637582640. Paperback: US$21.00
Americans were shocked and outraged to see chaos unfold in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, when rioters swarmed into the U.S. Houses of Congress. Their unruly protest was directed against Congress's scheduled official certification that day of Joe Biden's apparent victory over Donald Trump in the widely disputed 2020 presidential election.

Democrats, the mainstream media and many leading Republicans roundly blamed outgoing President Trump for the roughly four-hour disturbance. The president had "incited an insurrection", the American pubic was told, even though none of the rioters to date has been charged with firearm offences.

The events of January 6, 2021, continue to be exploited by the Democratic Party and the national news media in order to criminalise political protest and free speech in America. But one year later, the original narrative of what happened that day has crumbled, while hundreds of Americans have been swept up in an unprecedented investigation led by Joe Biden's Justice Department to punish them for their involvement in the protest.

The public has been misled — and flat-out lied to — about a number of aspects related to that day. This book exposes them all. The author Julie Kelly is a widely published political commentator, who has reported on the Russian collusion hoax and the 2020 election fraud.

Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, by Peter Schweizer (New York: HarperCollins, 2022). Hardcover: 352 pages. ISBN: 978-0063061149. RRP: US$30.00.
Bestselling author Peter Schweizer says that, in a quarter-century as an investigative journalist, this is the most disturbing investigation he has ever conducted. That the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its quest for global hegemony. Presidential families, Silicon Valley gurus, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League universities, even professional athletes — all have been willing to sacrifice American strength and security on the altar of personal enrichment.

Schweizer is co-founder and president of the Government Accountability Institute, a team of investigative researchers and journalists committed to exposing crony capitalism, misuse of taxpayer monies, and other governmental corruption or malfeasance. Exhaustively researched, crisply told, and chilling, Red-Handed exposes the nexus of power between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.

The Dumbest Generation Grows Up: From Stupefied Youth to Dangerous Adults Bauerlein (Washington, DC: Regnery Gateway, 2022). Hardcover: 256 pages. ISBN: 978- 1684512201. RRP: US$30.00
Back in 2008, when he published The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (2008), Mark Bauerlein was a voice crying in the wilderness. Educationalists were extolling the new generation as "digital natives" because of their proficiency with computers. However, Dr Bauerlein, in his capacity as a university lecturer, was less than impressed. He explained: "I've noticed in the last 10 years that students are no less intelligent, no less ambitious but there are two big differences: Reading habits have slipped, along with general knowledge. You can quote me on this: You guys don't know anything."

Knowing nothing about history, Millennials are convinced that it is merely a catalogue of oppression, inequality and hatred. They lack skills, knowledge, religion and a cultural frame of reference. The Dumbest Generation Grows Up is an urgently needed update on the Millennials, explaining the threat that their ignorance poses to the rest of us.
