Jonathan W. Emord - The Authoritarians: Their Assault on Individual Liberty, the Constitution, and Free Enterprise from the 19th Century to the Present

The Authoritarians

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHORITARIANS

Jonathan Emord is a warrior out to save our rights. In The Authoritarians , he has done just that. Now if our leaders will read it and follow through... we just might make it.

George Noory, Host of Coast to Coast AM

The passionate and knowledgeable writing found in these pages is the perfectand necessaryantidote to the sniveling, condescending, and yes, dangerous machinations of this nations far-gone Left, whose legions of autocratic Democrats, Antifa and BLM rioters, delusional media members, and misguided educators seek to replace our great Republic with their own perverted version of Marxist reality. These authoritarians seek to enslave us all through the false narrative of, among other things, inherent white privilege and racism. This threat to our individual liberty, as the recent election shows, is not some distant pipe dream of the progressive movements new revolutionaries. It is real and it is here. Jonathan Emord explains in great detail how and why this has occurred and, most importantly, how to reverse this tragic course of history before its too late.

Wayne M. Barrett, Publisher, USA Today Magazine

The Authoritarians, from title to breathtakingly well-researched last page, offers an astonishing and eye-opening look at the many issues Americans must confront in order to stay free. Jonathan Emord does an admirable job of weaving together historical truths with modern day news to show readers the sad, raw realitythat yes, communism could indeed come to America. Like Paul Revere atop his horselike John the Baptist crying from the wilderness The Authoritarians is Americas twelfth hour call to arms. This is a great book to put in the schools to teach Americas emerging leaders the horrors of unfree states. Theyll be frightened enough to grab hold of the Constitution tight and keep our country on a path of limited government for decades to come.

Cheryl Chumley, Online Opinion Editor, The Washington Times and author of Socialists Dont Sleep

The Authoritarians answers the question: How did we stray so far from the high ideals of the Founding Fathers and Framers of the Constitution? What if teetering on the edge of becoming a socialist nation was not an accident, but the deliberate effort of a progressivist agenda begun well over 100 years ago? The history not taught but revealed by Jonathan Emords meticulous research provides a critical road map to recovery for a nation founded on the principles of defense of life, liberty and property. How do we stop progressives who would abolish rights endowed by our Creator and replace them with privileges from authoritarian collectivists? Read this book. Before its too late.

Robert Scott Bell, The Robert Scott Bell Show

[ The Authoritarians ] ought to be must-reading for anyone who loves freedom... [Jonathan Emord] is, in our opinion, an intellectual warrior for the rights and freedoms of people in America and around the world.

Congressmen Dan Burton and John T. Doolittle, as written in the Foreword

For all who cherish liberty.

I have benefited greatly in the writing of this book from the able assistance of a select group of highly talented people. I am grateful to Morgan James Publishing Company for its expert editing, publication, marketing and promotion of this book. I am thankful to Cortney Donelson of vocem, LLC, whose expert proofreading enriched the text in so many ways. I also thank Constance Wood for her excellent copy editing.

I thank my external editors Norman Singleton, President of the Campaign for Liberty; Dr. Charles B. Simone, medical scientist, scientific advisor, and insightful and indispensable friend; and USA TODAY Magazines own brilliant Editor Wayne M. Barrett for his thoughtful guidance and cautionary notes. Wayne is an intellectual, a very fine journalist, and a great defender of liberty.

I am grateful to my law partner, the masterful litigator, analytical thinker and strategist Peter Arhangelsky for his tempered wisdom, calm resolve, and perspicacity. I am grateful to my talented associates Bethany Kennedy, Bryan Schatz, Eric Awerbuch and Joshua Furman for tirelessly tracking down sources.

I am particularly indebted to my client Donna Kasseinova for her willingness to help readers understand the horrors of collectivism by reliving in the harsh conditions her family experienced under the former Soviet Union.

It has been my pleasure over the years to work with two great statesmen and defenders of liberty whose personal integrity and fidelity to the American cause, keen wit, love of country, and stalwart, and unwavering advancement of our founding principles have inspired generations to never surrender to tyranny. I speak of Congressmen John T. Doolittle and Dan Burton. I thank them for their patriotism (love of country over self), generous Foreword to this book, wise advice over many years of our friendship, and constant advance of the principles of liberty.

In addition, two fine radio talk show hosts have always been supportive and have found issues related to the struggle for individual liberty worth broadcasting to millions: George Noory of Coast to Coast AM and Robert Scott Bell of the Robert Scott Bell show. How very grateful I am to them for getting the superior claim of liberty out to those deluded by the false allure of socialism.

There are certain people who in the darkest days of our nations recent and explosive travails have inspired me to double, triple, and quadruple my resolve to oppose the machinations which aim daggers at the heart of the Constitution from the authoritarian radicals and reactionaries. Those great and courageous Americans include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; Texas Governor Greg Abbott; and, most notably, that brilliant rising star from the free state of South Dakota who shines brightly in defense of life, individual liberty, private property, and free enterprise, the Honorable Governor Kristi Noem.
