The Democratic Party Metamorphosis

The American Democratic Party, as it exists today, is a far cry from the democratic
liberalism of John F. Kennedy in the 1960s. JFK was no liberal by todays standards.
Rather, his was a Lockean philosophy founded on ideas of liberty and equality,
combined with the principles of economic responsibility.
The young president was an ardent proponent of stimulating the private sector and
consumer demand through tax-cuts, and slashing tariffs and regulations that restricted
free trade. In a speech during the 1960 campaign he stated, I do not believe that
Washington should do for the people what they can do for themselves through local and
private effort (Peters, Woolley, 2016). These are policies vehemently denigrated today
by the progressives on the left as being regressive and disparaged as trickle down
economics (Leef, 2013). Kennedy personally scrutinized every agency request with a
cold eye and encouraged his budget director to say no (Jacoby, 2013). The present
Democratic Party, the institution of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Barack Obama,
would consider JFK a minority-wing outsider at best. Clinton, who promises to continue
the Obama legacy, would presumably add to the $20 trillion debt accumulated under the
Obama administration (Boyer, 2015; Cave, 2016; WND, 2016). There are many
analysts who argue that the politics of the Democratic Party are moving the United
States to the radical left fringes (Loiaconi, 2016, Stevens, 2016; Wehner, 2016).
The USSA United Socialist States of America
Thus far, the United Socialist States of America has not come into being because there
are people presently in the country with firm beliefs. Words have weighty meaning, and
an overwhelming sixty percent of Americans respond negatively to the term socialism,
according to a study by Pew Research (Gregory, 2012). They firmly believe that
although government has an important role to play in creating conditions that serve the
general welfare of the people, and insuring equal opportunity, a government which is too
large and intrusive stands in the way of a truly prosperous society. They believe that
government must live within its allotted revenues. Furthermore, they believe that
The burden of the American taxpayer should be reduced whenever possible;
Government agencies are created to serve rather than to restrict, regulate, and
punish the American people,
Government should encourage work over idleness, personal independence over

government dependence, and a free market which is not controlled, dominated
and excessively regulated by the government,
The American tax code should be simply structured and designed to create
incentives for income earning, saving, and investments in jobs and in expanding
opportunities,
3
Personal responsibility is essential to the preservation of freedom, and

government must strictly hold accountable those who fail to act responsibly and
to defend and support those who are victims of criminal and irresponsible
behavior,
Government should be a force that affirms traditional American values and

stands against the forces that threaten them, and,
Government should always be aware that it is a creature of the American public,

that it answers to the public for its failures and successes and should never be so
arrogant as to use its powers to diminish personal rights and freedoms
guaranteed in the Constitution.
The above annotations are not from Conservatives, Republicans, or the Tea Party, but
from the platform of members of the Democratic Party of the United States which refer
to themselves as Blue Dogs (Blue Dog Coalition, 2012).
Today the centrists and moderates in the Democratic Party are in the absolute and
disregarded minority (Davis, 2012). Some analysts predict that the Blue Dogs face
extinction (Politico, 2012) because, as lifelong Democrat Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana,
believes, the far left has taken over Democratic Party (Los Angeles Times, 2010).
Senator Joseph "Joe" Lieberman, senior Senator from Connecticut, and former
Democratic Party nominee for Vice President in the 2000 election (currently an
independent), agrees, saying, this is not your fathers Democratic Party (Morrissey,
2012). Gallup Politics concurs: More Americans See Democratic Party as Too
Liberal (Jones, 2009), and see the Democrats policies as extremist and out of touch
with the mainstream (Harsah, 2010).
It is obvious why the Democratic Party must avoid being correctly labeled socialist.
That moniker would be a weighty albatross, and if the Democrats and their liberal allies
could not control the political discourse in the popular media in this regard (as they
generally do), they could not win elections. They would counter that only irresponsible
fanatics and right-wing reactionaries would carelessly throw around such pejoratives
and demented exaggerations. The facts are that the Democratic agenda and the
socialist agenda are the same. With the Bernie Sanders phenomena of 2015-2016, the
socialist moniker has become blurred and legitimized with a significant population of
the Democratic Party. Among Democrats, capitalism and socialism were viewed
similarly, with 52 percent of those responding giving a thumbs up (Bump, 2015). To
argue otherwise is to ignore the obvious. Alas, the obvious is often ignored; as George
Orwell so astutely said, To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant
struggle (Klein, 2012).
By using the term socialist, this writer does equate the Democrats with Khrushchev,
Castro, or Ceauescu. But the Democrats do fall within the parameters of leftist politics
4
which encompass increased taxation, the passage of progressive laws controlling

social interaction and expression, increased government regulations, advancing welfare
programs, deficit spending, and the idea of a centralized government intervening and
directing the economy; all which is within the realm of statism and authoritarianism. By
this criterion the Democrats are socialists in the same vein as the Parti Socialiste
(France), Partido Socialista Obrero Espaol (Spain), the Socialistiska Partiet (Sweden),
and the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Greece: known mostly by its acronym ,
or PA.SO.K.).
European and American Political Roots
The European socialists trace their political origins to Marxism. After 1883 there existed
a widening schism between the scientific socialism of Marxist goals, and the other
unscientific (from the Marxist perspective) political parties describing themselves as
socialists, but who were essentially concerned with trade unionism and government
sponsored welfare programs. The political origins of the United States are traced to the
principles of John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles de Montesquieu, and Adam
Smith. These principles are the intellectual foundation for individualism, free enterprise,
limited government, and are embodied in the Constitution. The European socialists
have developed an extensive welfare state. Their political opponents have no qualms
about the likely impossibility of reversing it, in spite of increasing worries about its
financial survivability, and only entertain the possibility of modifying it at the fringes.
European socialism is fundamentally bankrupt, and bailouts cant save the continent
from a cargo-cult mentality of receiving free goods and services (Rogoff, 2011;
Feierstein, 2012; Macke, 2012; Rickens, 2012; Tebbit, 2012). On the average, the
European welfare states use one-half of or more of their GDP to provide free medical
care, pensions, extended unemployment benefits, income grants, and a free higher
education. After World War II, British, French, and other socialist governments in Europe
nationalized private enterprises with the same failed economic results described in The
Myopic Vision: The Causes of Totalitarianism, Authoritarianism, & Statism (2013)1. In
many cases they have subsequently been returned to private ownership (i.e.,
privatization) under leaders such as Margaret Thatcher,2 reversing often precipitous
economic declines and improving the quality of services rendered. However, upon the
return to power of socialist governments, private enterprise in Europe has found itself

heavily taxed and regulated to contribute to whatever the state defines as the general
welfare.
The Party of European Socialists drafted a Declaration of Principles on November 2011
summarizing their agenda. In addition to the aforementioned points regarding taxation
and government involvement (some would say government interference) in the
economy and society, the following bullets are selected cornerstones revealing their
essentially Marxist agenda [italics are this writers] (Labour Movement of Europe, 2011):
A strong and just society must ensure that the wealth generated by all is shared fairly
as determined by the state.
Democrats favor progressive taxes on the rich to redistribute income and wealth from
winners to losers and to ensure that all pay their fair share. As Barack Obama stated:
When you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody (Hurt, 2008).
Collective responsibility makes society stronger when people work together, and all
people are enabled to live a dignified life, free of poverty and protected from social
risks in life.
Democrats favor collective responsibility and protection from social risk through the
issuance of food stamps, welfare programs, extended unemployment benefits,
guaranteed health care, the bailing out of big companies, forced renegotiation of
mortgages, class action law suits, and other socialist measures.
If unfettered by state control, market forces, driven by and greed and shift power to the
privileged few, deepen economic, geographic and social inequalities, and create
economic crises.
Today, the Democratic Party in the US advocates greater regulation, subsidies, and
taxation to persuade, or coerce, business to promote their perception of the general
welfare, and shows a distrust of market forces (if not outright animosity). Industries not
part of his collective endeavor (banking, medical/health, nuclear, oil, gas and coal
producers, for example) are penalized. Industries that serve the Democratic perception
of the general welfare (green technology) are to be subsidized even if they are
rejected by the market or are economically inefficient (Herszenhorn, Labaton, Landler,
2008). A comparison with the goals of European socialists and the statements and
legislative initiatives of the Democratic Party are nearly identical. It is evident even at
the highest levels of the party. In a revealing and unscripted slip President Obama told
the very socialist-minded Occupy Wall Street protesters: I appreciate you guys making
your point...You are the reason I ran for office (McCormak, 2011).
A Socialist Future?
A friend of mine was asked to a costume ball a short time ago. He slapped some egg
on his face and went as a liberal economist. 3
~ Ronald Reagan, 1988
The political choices faced by the world citizen are incomprehensibly stark. The
language of the left is seductive and immensely disadvantageous to the fiscally
conservative right. It is difficult to oppose ideas with an ulterior agenda, but which are
couched in terms like fairness, social justice, universal health care, sustainable
growth, prohibiting price gouging, state managed market economy (i.e., the French
dirigisme), sensible gun laws, shared sacrifice, spreading the wealth, social
security, a living wage, the rich paying their fair share, entitlements, and the
ubiquitous common good. Criticism of the left ensures the vilest and most despicable
of personal attacks by a biased and generally leftist public media (Capitol Commentary,
2012), similar to the attempts at personal censorship that was experienced by US critics
of Stalin in 1945. At the very least, the oft repeated clich (accusation?) is that
conservatives are rigid, judgmental ideologues. Progressives, by contrast, are praised
as flexible pragmatists who seek practical solutions and go wherever the data lead
them (Brooks, 2016). Only the politically sophisticated understand that these are
encrypted terms with socialist ideological underpinnings (Higgs, 1987; Higgs, 2005; de
Jouvenel, 1993). Essentially, these terms revolve around the idea of taking money or
power from the individual and the productive, and transferring it to the collectively
underproductive and the state. Presented to the public as a desirable and noble policy,
the state directs individuals to comply with its goals (Higgs, 1991; Holcombe, 2002;
Mueller, 1989). The ability of the state to force individuals to comply with its mandates
increases in proportion with the power and size of government. The increasing power of
the state vis--vis the rights of the individual and private sector is the keynote struggle
of the future (de Jouvenel, 1993; Porter, 1994; Tanzi, 2000).
We in The US will not likely face a 1917-style revolution, but rather incrementally
expansive government resulting in incremental socialism. The size of the US federal
government, as well as state and local governments, increased dramatically during the
20th century. In the thirty years from 1960 to 1990, the number of state and local
government employees increased from 6.4 million to 15.2 million in the United States,
while the number of civilian federal employees increased from 2.4 million to 3 million
(U.S. Department of State, 2012). As late as 1913 government expenditures were less
than 8 percent in the US. By 1996, government expenditures in the US were more than
32 percent. Moreover, government has vastly increased the scope and societal
penetration of its regulation, causing private individuals and businesses spend hundreds

Egg on his face is a figure of speech, meaning to be embarrassed by something one has done; to be completely
wrong.
of billions of dollars each year to comply (Higgs, 2005, pp. 279-300). History has
repeatedly demonstrated that during periods of government expansion freedoms are
commonly surrendered (de Jouvenel, 1993; Tanzi, 2000; Twight, 2002). Economists
have been of two minds concerning the role of government in the economy. The
Keynesians and Galbraithians argue that a nations economy requires continuous
governmental adjustments to operate optimally and correct the inefficiencies of the
private-sector. In the opposite camp are the von Hayekians and Friedmanites, who
argued that capitalist economies naturally have fluctuations which are part of the
mechanisms of the market, and that arbitrary government intervention aggravates
economic instability in the private sector (Higgs, 1987, 1991).
Fear of market fluctuations, especially fear of another Great Depression, has fueled
economic policy since the 1930s, and has resulted in governments worldwide generally
favoring Keyes and Galbraith to a greater degree (depending on the administration
which is in office) (Higgs, 1991, 2005; Porter, 1994). No politician wants to be at the
helm during lean economic times and face the wrath of the electorate. "[Its] the
economy, stupid" was the derogatory but successful slogan that Democratic strategist
James Carville coined for Bill Clinton in the campaign against sitting president George
H. W. Bush in 1992 (Holcombe, 2002; Porter, 1994; Twight, 2002). As of this writing, talk
of the great recession has been greatly detrimental to the legacy of President Obama,
but not more so than his comments about forgetting its magnitude (Halper, 2012), or
that the private sector is doing fine (Tapper, 2012). These gaffs have been minimized,
or gone unreported, by the leftist press. Clearly, politicians want to avoid being dubbed,
rightly or not, the countrys equivalent of a modern day Herbert Hoover. The result has
been increased spending on government programs, referred to as a social safety net, or
entitlements, by their defenders.
The concept of entitlements is dangerous to those that see a connection between
increased government and decreased individual liberty. The fiscally and individually
responsible talk of an entitlement mentality that threatens the finances and work ethic of
the populace of the United States (de Jouvenel, 1993; Mueller, 1989). They argue that
one is only entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that too many
people feel entitled to programs financed by the productive and disbursed by the
government (Higgs, 1987, 1991, 2005). Let's be honest about this; the liberal agenda
with failed stimulus plans and government entitlement programs is crippling our
economy and our quality of life says Alveda King, niece of civil rights leader Martin
Luther King (2012). Paul Ryan, the US Representative for Wisconsins 1st
Congressional District, points out the difficulty in reversing the ever increasing
entitlements; Look, of course people are scared of entitlement reform because every
time you put entitlement reform out there, the other party uses it as a political weapon
against you (2012).
[In the 16 February 2009 issue of Newsweek "We Are All Socialists Now". Newsweek
Editor Jon Meacham and Evan Thomas observes that the America of 2009 has become
a more socialist country.]
Thus far, the United Socialist States of America has not come into being because there
are people in the country with firm centrist and right of center beliefs. In the United
States, however, socialist candidates outside of the orbit of the Sanderites, generally
must maintain their beliefs concealed, rather than face a hostile electorate (Mueller,
1989; Tanzi, 2000). Liberals, socialists, and leftist Democrats of the Maxine Waters,
John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, Tom Harkin, Harry Reid,
and Nancy Pelosi variety bring to the political discourse a profound distrust and
misunderstanding of the free market, and a belief that the solution to most problems lies
in government intervention. Theirs is the philosophy of statism. All socialist leaders, from
British Labour leader Ramsay MacDonald to Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo, to
Argentinas President Hiplito Yrigoyen, rose to power with the assertion that their
policies would help the agricultural and urban poor. Their supporters allegiance was
bought with the promise of more abundant and cheaper food and other necessities
(Holcombe, 2002; Twight, 2002). Prices are then held down by arbitrary price controls,
and the economic emphasis shifts to the redistribution of wealth from the productive to
the less productive, which invariably leads to eventual shortages and growing
resentment from the masses the government intended to help. If the country is very
lucky, the political pendulum swings from left to moderate right. If it is not, and the man
on the white horse is a Castro, Ho Chi Minh, or Mengistu Haile Mariam, the next and
final step is state-sponsored oppression in an attempt to reverse decreasing production
(de Jouvenel, 1993; Tanzi, 2000). History teaches us there is an invariable and inverse
relationship between individual freedom and the the growth of the state: as the state
grows in power, the significance and freedom of the individual decreases.
An Inescapable Historical Reality
The most heroic word in all languages is REVOLUTION.
~ Eugene V. Debs, five time Socialist candidate for the Presidency of the United States;
Revolution in New Yorker (27 April 1907)
The historical reality is that socialists everywhere have pursued policiesmyopic
visionswhich were detrimental to the poorest and weakest members of the population.
Socialism is also responsible for policies which resulted in rising expenditures,
increasing the size of government, deficit spending, increasing a welfare mentality
amongst the populace, increasing regulation which kills business, decreasing growth,
and too often stretching the limits of, or ignoring altogether, parliamentary and
constitutional laws (Higgs, 1987, 2005; Twight, 2002). Long before the hypertrophic and
sarcomized state reaches metastasis, the criminality of the government, the scandalous
abuse of power, corruption, fraud, deceit, disregard for the countrys judicial system and
constitution, begins to show, perhaps at levels previously unseen by the citizenry. When
such scandals are quashed with little or no investigation, ignored by the media, or
accepted by a jaded populace, democracy is in peril 4.
From Robert Owen and Charles Fourier, to collectivization in Soviet Russia, to the
Thousand Year Reich, to the Great Leap Forward in China, to obligatory ujamaa villages
in Tanzania, to the Cambodian year zero; the last 200 years have been racked by
grand statist schemesmyopic visionsthat have inadvertently brought disruption,

Some iconic moments in the growth of governmental power, and the corresponding trampling of legal procedures,
favoritism to the politically connected, and the erosion of the rights of the individual are Otto von Bismarcks antiCatholic Kulturkampf (1871-1878); Benito Mussolinis thugs murdering Giacomo Matteotti (1924); Adolf Hitler and
the Reichstag fire (1933); Edward Kennedy at Chappaquiddick (1969); Mayor Richard J. Daley stealing Illinois' 27
Electoral College votes for fellow Democrat John F. Kennedy (1960); Richard Nixons Watergate (1972); The
Reagan administrations Iran-Contra scandal (1988); Bill Clinton committing perjury in Lewinskygate (1998), and
the Filegate scandal (1993-1994); as of this writing, the Obama administrations Justice Department ignoring voter
intimidation by the Black Panthers (2008); Barack Obama appointing a self-described communist, Anthony Kapel
Van Jones, to a newly created advisory position (2009); Barack Obama signing the 2012 National Defense
Authorization Act, authorizing the indefinite military detention of U.S. citizens arrested on American soil; Barack
Obamas Justice Department illegally selling firearms to drug cartels in Operation Fast and Furious; Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton (as Secretary of State) covering up the reasons for, as well as the lack of a response to, the
attack by Muslim terrorists on the American Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi, Libya (2012); the Obama
Administrations use of the IRS to target conservative groups (2013); Barack Obamas Justice Department seizing
the telephone records of Associated Press reporters (2013), and the Obama administration authorizing and vastly
expanding the NSAs unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens (2013).

misery, loss of freedom, and even starvation to millions. Every one of these wellintentioned plans for improving the human condition eventually went awry, often
tragically so. Yet another indisputable fact of contemporary history is that governments
have repeatedly committed murder for ideological reasons. To be an enemy of the state,
to be an outsider or undesirable, nay, to merely question the policies of the state can be
deadly. Approximately six million innocent human beings were exterminated during the
holocaust by a rgime that saw them as outsiders (Blow, 2008-10). An even more
dismal fact is that governments have often murdered their own people, not simply the
outsider. However, people are reluctant to confront their own history. Roginsky (2008)
states accusingly:
And one more thing: unlike the Nazis, who mainly killed "foreigners": Poles, Russians,
and German Jews (who were not quite their "own" people), we mainly killed our own
people, and our consciousness refuses to accept this fact.
In remembering the terror, we are incapable of assigning the main roles, incapable of
putting the pronouns "we" and "they" in their places. This inability to assign evil is the
main thing that prevents us from being able to embrace the memory of the terror
properly. This makes it far more traumatic. It is one of the main reasons why we push it
to the edge of our historical memory....Conclusion: our historical memory is divided,
fragmentary, passing away. It has been pushed to the periphery of popular
consciousness. Those who hold onto the memory of Stalinism in the sense that we use
these words are very much in the minority today.
In the USSR alone, in what R. J. Rummel calls the unrivaled communist
hecatomb (2002), approximately 62 million Soviet citizens were murdered, starved, or
worked to death, and the actual total may be as high as 126 million (the world wide sum
for all communist rgimes and movements from 1900 to 1987 is an estimated 259
million). Marxism-Leninism and its variantsmeant in practice bloody terrorism, deadly
purges, lethal gulags and forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines,
extrajudicial executions and show trials, and genocide (Rummel, 2002).
Ideas have consequences argued Richard M. Weaver (1984). Weaver contends that
the gradual erosion of the Western mind, evidenced by the decline in morality,
education, heightened cynicism and cruelty, has produced a plethora of societal ills, and
the rise of what he terms "The Great Stereopticon." Weaver proposes that deliberate
measures must be taken to begin the regeneration of the ideals found in Western
civilization. Especially important is right to private property, which he dubs "the last
metaphysical right." Private property must be maintained because it provides the basis
for human sustenance, and thus furnishes an individual, as it did the Thoreauists, with
the means to be independent from a controlling and corrupt system (Weaver, 1984).
The left possesses a world vision in which the elite, the intellectually and morally
superior, pursues superior ends in spite of the indifference or ignorance of others, and
11
over their objectionsTHAT IS THEIR MYOPIC VISION. The modern state has the
proven ability to control the public media and to stimulate the masses, las turbas, into
frenzied actos de repudio5 against their opponents la Castros Cuba, Maos China,
and other Orwellian systems.
Is it not true that we all possess some destructive tendencies in our nature? The
veneer of civilization is very thin. Underneath lurks the animal in each of us. If I were
young and had had a working-class background, if I had been brought up to worship
Mao and taught to believe him infallible, would I not have behaved exactly as the Red
Guards had done? (Cheng, 1987, p. 79).
Man, to remain a free individual, must first understand history in order to fight the
technologically enhanced collectivist thought control to which he is subjected by leftist
politicians, newspapers, film, radio, and televisionproponents of the myopic vision.
For the greater part of the last 90 years, the political horizon of the economically
advanced countries has been filled with persistent and powerful interest groups seeking
policies that increase the size and power of government. The previous checks on such
moves towards statism and authoritarianisma culture of allegiance to democratic
principles maximizing individual liberty and, for the American public specifically, an
emphasis on a Constitution long accepted as placing limits on the governments role in
the life of a nationhave essentially unravelled as unreliable and substantive
detriments. As of this writing, such allegiance to emphasizing the principles of individual
liberty seem to be disappearing altogether from our culture. The myopic vision is
prevailing. In this vein, the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower during his 1953 inaugural
address now seem to possess a special meaning;
In the swift rush of great events, we find ourselves groping to know the full sense and
meaning of these times in which we live. In our quest of understanding, we beseech
God's guidance. We summon all our knowledge of the past and we scan all signs of the
future. We bring all our wit and all our will to meet the question: How far have we come
in man's long pilgrimage from darkness toward light? Are we nearing the lighta day of
freedom and of peace for all mankind? Or are the shadows of another night closing in
upon us?
Actos de repudio or acts of repudiation occur when large groups of Cubans verbally insult, intimidate, spit and
throw rocks and other objects at the person or homes of their fellow citizens suspected of being counterrevolutionary or against Castro-communist policies. Many of the victims of these acts have been severely injured.
There is no recourse and the police and security forces turn a blind eye to these mobs. These occurrences are
supposedly uncontrived and spontaneous popular demonstrations of outrage against those who are critical of the
system, are unappreciative of its benefits, or want to emigrate. The level of violence during these acts has increased
significantly since 2003. Naturally, the events are orchestrated by the Cuban security forces in conjunction with the
Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (i.e., block captains/spies: Comits de Defensa de la Revolucin) and
the Rapid Response Brigades (i.e, shock troops used to quickly quell any disturbance: Brigadas de Respuesta
Rpida) as a means to terrorize the opposition and intimidate others. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch
and other human rights groups have long been critical of these acts of repudiation.

About the Author
Dr. Juan R. Cspedes is a veteran educator, lecturer, and prolific author. Born in
Havana, Cuba, he fled with his family from the Castro-communist dictatorship in 1960.
For nearly three decades Dr. Cspedes has shared his thoughts and research about
history, politics, economics, and international relations with a wide audience. An
advocate of individual freedom, human dignity and democratic government, he has
traveled widely, studied, and reported extensively on major topics such as the nature of
totalitarian regimes, the Cold War, the causes of wars, and the history of terrorism. He
believes that a 21st century history education needs a comprehensive view where the
learner becomes an analyst conscious of social, economic, cultural, political and other
human conditions. For Dr. Cspedes, historical analysis does not imply revisionism with
preconceived ideas of what should have been, nor assumptions made from a modernday perspective. His extensive and detailed work not only endows us with a historical
documentation of human triumph and accomplishment, but also makes us aware of our
failures, cruelty, and sometimes our inhumanity toward each other. Dr. Cspedes
believes that A true understanding of history is the basis for appreciating the human
condition and grappling with the moral issues facing a democratic society today.

Footsteps to World
War III
A riveting, enlightening and often
frightening look at the next major war
involving the United States and the world.
In his thought-provoking book, Dr.
Cspedes draws from a multitude of
sources to carefully analyze the
likelihood, and the outcomes, of a major
military encounter between the United
States and its major potential
adversaries. Asserting that we are at the
doorstep of a new epoch, he constructs a
lucid and highly comprehensible forecast
of the challenges that the United States
can expect from around the world. As a
Europe continues to weaken militarily and
chose neutralist policies, or policies
contrary to those of the United States,
what new alliances can the United States
formulate? With this panorama, will the
United States remain the dominant global
superpower, as other nations challenge
American preeminence? Will such a war
ultimately end with a victory by the United
States and its allies? Captivating and
compelling from the first to the last page,
Footsteps to World War III is a
fascinating exploration of what the future
may hold for the world at large.
28
The New Global

Threat: Transnational
Crime
Transnational organized crime is a
growing cancer, and a threat to the
security of North America . . . as well as
to the entire world! What was once the
dominion of countries and regions
separated by geography is increasingly a
concern to the Department of State and
for the U.S. military. Transgressing the
laws of multiple nations, these criminal
activities have a negative impact on
society, the global economy, and greatly
impede the progress of developing
nations and governments. Unfortunately,
many of the nations affected lack the
resources or the political will to provide
an adequate level of security and
countermeasures that matches the threat
to its security and its borders. The
criminal activities, such as drug, human,
and gun trafficking, are often
overshadowed by terrorism, even though
all are crucial national security threats.
This work reveals the dangers and
horrors of modern transnational crime; a
menace which challenges the modern
hierarchies and methods of response,
and helps to piece together the
construction of pragmatic and workable
policies to counter such a menace. This
is a must read for anyone interested in
national security issues!
29
Victory Over
Terrorism: The
Unthinkable
Solution!
Extremists have made, and will continue
into the future, varied attempts to attack
the US and its allies with varying levels of
organization and skill. We shake our
heads with a certain degree of disbelief
and say, When will it end? After the
destruction of the World Trade Center
and the accompanying damages to the
Pentagon and the national psyche,
government has enacted laws and
strategies to prevent terrorist activities.
However, as democratic societies which
value individual rights, we are challenged
to not provoke a response which
undermines our Constitutional system of
government. In a thorough investigative
fashion, "Victory Over Terrorism" takes
readers through the strange and often
sordid methods that are routinely utilized
by terrorists organizations, the prevailing
thoughts and beliefs of Muslim
communities throughout the world, and
the anti-terrorist practices that intensified
in recent years.

Cuban Communism
and its Impact on
World Affairs: 1959 2015
Cuba is a relatively small country, but
with the foreign policy of a major league
international player. It has carried out
such a policy since the start of Castros
1959 revolution. Because of its close
alliance with the Soviet Union, by the
early to mid 1960s it had the external
resources, internal conditions, and lack of
significant US opposition to begin to
visibly impact conditions throughout the
world; from Latin America, to Africa and
Asia. In this book, Dr. Cspedes sees a
Cuban foreign policy that has been both
aggressive ideologically, militaristic, yet
highly pragmatic. The Castro brothers
saturated the media with altruistic images
of themselves in a campaign to justify
and encourage, or directly spread, radical
change. Using previously unexplored
sources, Dr. Cspedes constructs a
compelling and detailed expos which
focuses on Cuban political subversion
throughout the world, either through
direct military intervention, or disguised
as development aid for health, economic,
and civic programs. This is a must read
for history students written by a
prominent historian.
31
people in our time, devout Christians and

Jews included, understand little about the
world of first-century Palestine, and think
that the Jews were an undifferentiated
and united people in their disgruntlement
and opposition to the rule of Rome. This
is a gross oversimplification of the
historical, political, and cultural reality of
the time. The Centurion helps the reader
understand the life of Romans, Jews,
their leaders, and others; as well as the
geographical, cultural, and political
divisions which existed at the time. The
book examines many aspects of Jesus
world that are unknown to many. Dr.
Cspedes also delves into mathematical
and scientific explanations for the
existence of God, near death
experiences, the crucifixion, the
resurrection of Jesus, the early Christian
church, and the great personal sacrifices
made by the apostles. This fascinating
and carefully researched book concludes
with suggestions for living a more
meaningful life, and how to battle
sadness and loneliness.
Conversations with a
Centurion: about Life,
Death, and God
We struggle with work and overcoming
the challenges of daily life, only to
experience the same end...death. Rich or
poor, educated or not, death is the great
equalizer for all of humanity. One
measure of adulthood is the realization
that bad things happen to good
people. Why am I here? Is there a God,
what is the meaning of life, is there an
afterlife? If there is a God...why does God
let these things happen? These questions
are answered in a meeting with a Roman
Centurion that appears magically,
mystically, inexplicably, in a museum in
modern Rome. The Centurion turns out to
be a Roman army officer who was
assigned to Capernaum, a fishing village
in Judea, where he met Jesus. Most
