There are hundreds of people I would like to thank by name, but in the possible hard times ahead, being identified in a book like this may be a little risky.

The "Enemies Within" have proven willing to use the power of the state to harass their opponents. As they get ever more desperate to hold on to power, we can only expect these tactics to intensify.

I just want to say that in my four speaking tours of the United States, I have met so many people who simply blew me away with their kindness, generosity and love of liberty, that I have become a permanently humbled man.

A few however must be named. They deserve it and have all publicly backed me in the past.

Terresa Monroe-Hamilton made this book happen and has been a true friend to me and to her country. I will be eternally grateful to you Terresa.

Oregonians Rodney Stubbs and Tom Hammer made all this possible. They've been with me in the worst of times and the very best of times.

Cliff Kincaid and Max Friedman are both special friends. The kind you make in the trenches. Paul Kengor, Jim Simpson, Matthew Vadum, Curtis Bowers and Glenn Beck are true "warriors of the word." They fight for America every waking moment. George, Wally, Andy, Steve and Rick, have fought and continue to fight for their country.

Regina Thomson and Bill are friends for life.

Bill Jasper, Christian Gomez and Jimmy from Brooklyn, are comrades in the truest sense of the word.

Then there is dear Tracy.

I also want to thank those who are still with us in spirit: Andrew Breitbart, Herb Romerstein, Bob Chandler, Dr. Fred Schwartz and Rep. Larry McDonald of Georgia.

There are many, many more. I know who you are. You know who you are. Let's just keep that information to ourselves shall we?

I'm often asked why, as a New Zealander, I should care about the internal politics of the United States.

There are two reasons.

The first is simple gratitude. My country was saved in World War II from probable conquest by the Imperial Japanese Army, by the huge sacrifice of American Servicemen in the Battles of Midway, Guadalcanal and the Coral Sea. Without American blood and steel, my country would have almost certainly have lost its freedom and many of my countrymen would have been slaughtered.

The second reason is related, but a little more selfish. The reality is that if America loses its economic dynamism, its ability to generate huge wealth, it will inevitably also lose its military superiority.

If America loses its position as the world's number one military super power, who will take its place?

The Universe abhors a vacuum. If America is no longer the world's leading military power, someone else will be.

Realistically, that can only be Russia or China, or more likely, an alliance of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Vietnam. Such an alliance is already partially built through the little publicized Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Founded in 2001, the SCO is an economic, political and military alliance binding Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. SCO "Observer" states include Iran, India, Pakistan, Mongolia and Afghanistan. "Dialogue Partners" include Sri Lanka and Belarus.

Add to those the neo-communist ruled countries such as South Africa and Brazil, the Latin American leftist ruled nations such as Ecuador and Argentina, most of the Islamic nations and international Islamic terrorism, and you have a huge potential power bloc. All allied against the United States.

As the U.S. Dollar slowly sinks and America's prestige and power goes with it, Russia, China and Iran grow bolder. America's allies such as Israel, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Britain, Germany, Poland and Georgia, can all see the writing on the wall. The message is clear. Every man for himself, or make your peace with the "Evil Axis."

America's allies are looking at the leadership coming out of Washington and they are horrified. If America got into a major war with Russia or China tomorrow, many of them would stay neutral. If Russia, China Iran and all their allies all attacked a weakened and disarmed America in ten years time, it's hard to imagine anyone coming to Uncle Sam's aid. Some current "friends" may even join the anti-U.S. alliance. The Western Alliance would struggle to win World War III today. In another decade, there may be no Western Alliance left to even fight.

If America continues down the current path of impoverishment and disarmament, it is only a matter time before the combined forces of Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Vietnam and their Islamic terrorist proteges come to dominate the planet. Can you imagine consigning your children to living in a world ruled by Russia, China and Iran? Can you envisage what life would be like on a "gangster" run planet?

I live in a tiny country at the bottom of the Pacific. Many of us are very cocky down here. Most of us think that no-one will ever threaten our little paradise. If we think about national security at all, it's mainly about keeping foreign bugs out of our apples or nasty parasites away from our sheep and cattle.

Yet, China is steadily advancing through the Pacific. It now has several footholds in our region, particularly in Fiji, which is our nearest major neighbor in the region except for Australia. Most Kiwis don't care about that because they know the American Navy is always patrolling the region. No one's ever going to challenge America--so they think.

But this view is false. This was made very clear to our Australian neighbors in June of 2012. Song Xiaojun, a "retired" Chinese general, told the Sydney Morning Herald that "Australia has to find a godfather sooner or later."

"Australia always has to depend on somebody else, whether it is to be the 'son' of the U.S. or 'son' of China," Song said, adding that Australia had best choose China because it all "depends on who is more powerful and based on the strategic environment."

That type of choice now faces every major U.S. ally around the globe.
