The corruption that plagues American politics is traced to an alliance with elites and extremists loyal to the Land of Israel. Unable to rid politics of campaign finance corruption, the U.S. finds its security imperiled by those skilled at deceiving America into waging wars for the Zionist state.

Tracing this corruption to criminal syndicates from the 1920's, Guilt by Association reveals how those skilled at displacing facts with beliefs wield clout from the shadows. Both deception and self-deceit play critical roles in enabling this criminality to expand its reach on a global scale.

Guilt by Association documents how  —  by operating in the realms of politics, media, academia, think tanks and popular culture  —  corruption came to dominate politics, as shown by presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama.

Chronicling systemic corruption that predates these candidates by decades, the book explains how organized crime expanded worldwide while the U.S. discredited itself in the eyes of a global public astounded that Americans would tolerate such corruption to their own detriment.

Featuring sophisticated alalysis presented in layman's language, Guilt by Association will transform political debate in the U.S. and beyond.
