“This review of critical incidents of recent history is a treasure
trove of information that Americans should know, but scarcely do,
and a very valuable corrective to prevailing mythology about our
innocence threatened by the evil enemy. Deeply informed, it could
hardly be more timely or urgent.”
—Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus at MIT and laureate
professor at the University of Arizona
***** Praise for The Plot to Scapegoat Russia by Dan Kovalik
*****
"A powerful contradiction to the present US narrative of the world
. . . As shown here, fake news is thriving in Washington, DC."
—Oliver Stone, Academy Award winning director and screenwriter
“The Plot to Scapegoat Russia is a beautifully written, uncommonly
coherent, and very compelling treatise on the issues facing America
today... a troubling indictment of where we've been and where we're
headed. Moreover, this book is profoundly important, and a timely
retrospective review of American foreign policy misadventures since
the advent of the Cold War.”
—Phillip F. Nelson, author of LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK
Assassination and LBJ: From Mastermind to “The Colossus”
“The Plot to Scapegoat Russia underscores how the CIA’s
infiltration and shaping of the media, which began in the 1950s,
successfully continues today. A very worthwhile account for anyone
who wants to understand how ‘reality’ is manufactured, while ‘real
truth’ is murdered and buried.”
—Peter Janney, author of Mary’s Mosaic: The CIA Conspiracy to
Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for
World Peace
“This highly recommended book offers material so encompassing as to
belie its small size. Kovalik’s writing is clear, evocative, and
readable. Along the way, he recalls those causes and the outrage
that fired up activists who were his contemporaries.”
—Counterpunch
“Kovalik presents a persuasive case that the demonization of Russia
and Putin is being used to justify war and more conflict with ever
increasing military budget. Attorney Dan Kovalik has written an
extremely important book that challenges the current
media/political focus on “Russia-gate” and warns that dark forces
of war are taking us in an ever more dangerous direction. ”
—Rick Sterling, Telesur
“At a time when the U.S. military budget is again soaring to enrich
the oligarchs, this timely and thought-provoking book turns
Orwellian ‘double-think’ on its head in a cogent analysis of what's
really behind all the saber-rattling against Russia. In a scholarly
but also deeply personal and fluidly written work, Dan Kovalik
pulls no punches in dissecting the history of how America has
justified its own imperialistic aims through the Cold War era and
right up to the current anti-Putin hysteria.”
—Dick Russell, New York Times bestselling author of Horsemen of the
Apocalypse: The Men Who Are Destroying Life on Earth and What It
Means to Our Children
“The Plot to Scapegoat Russia confronts the timeliest of subjects,
the effort to resuscitate the Cold War by blaming Russian president
Vladimir Putin for interfering in the 2016 presidential campaign on
behalf of Donald Trump, an effort pursued by CIA and the Democratic
Party working in tandem. Kovalik establishes... that not a
scintilla of evidence has emerged to grant credibility to this
self-serving fantasy... [and he] deftly eviscerates the mainstream
press. Reading [this book] will be salutary, illuminating and more
than instructive.”
—Joan Mellen, author of Faustian Bargains: Lyndon Johnson and Mac
Wallace in the Robber Baron Culture of Texas
“Kovalik’s careful dissection of the US record makes Russia’s
transgressions pale in comparison... [This] book provides a most
timely analysis and documentation to combat the unholy alliance of
neo-conservatives and liberals fomenting heightened world
tensions.”
—Roger D. Harris, member of the State Central Committee of the
Peace and Freedom Party in California
