The original book story line intended to dispel comments made by Hillary Clinton during the election campaign when she said, "Half of Trump supporters are deplorable...irredeemable." As the author researched material to refute Hillary's remarks, he discovered multiple examples of intentionally misleading statements by the United States government. Those misleading statements by both the government and the mainstream media in turn created false concepts that were force fed to the American public. The book concentrates on the "big picture" of four cataclysmic events: the murder of JFK, Benghazi, 9/11, and the alleged Russian Hoax. While researching those four diabolical events, amazingly the author discovered an even more sinister plan that could lead to the destruction of America as America exists today. Uncovering a "smoking gun" document, the author felt compelled to expose the awful truths every American must know. It is the author's hope this book will awaken and inspire Americans to engage politically to save the republic and the American Dream.

Amitai Etzioni has made his reputation by transcending unwieldy, and even dangerous, binaries such as left/right or globalism/nativism. In his new book, Etzioni calls for nothing less than a social transformation—led by a new social movement—to save our world’s democracies, currently under threat in today’s volatile and profoundly divided political environments. The United States, along with scores of other nations, has seen disturbing challenges to the norms and institutions of our democratic society, particularly in the rise of exclusive forms of nationalism and populism. Focusing on nations as the core elements of global communities, Etzioni envisions here a patriotic movement that rebuilds rather than splits communities and nations. Beginning with moral dialogues that seek to find common ground in our values and policies, Etzioni sets out a path toward cultivating a "good" form of nationalism based on this shared understanding of the common good. Working to broaden civic awareness and participation, this approach seeks to suppress neither identity politics nor special interests in its efforts to lead us to work productively with others. Reclaiming Patriotism offers a hopeful and pragmatic solution to our current crisis in democracy—a patriotic movement that could have a transformative, positive impact on our foreign policy, the world order, and the future of capitalism.
