Coup d'État USA: The Overthrow of the Constitution & Democracy in America

By Juan Céspedes

Our vigilance is imperative-democracy and our way of life in America is threatened with collapse. There is a coup d'etat brewing in America, and the warning signals are both abundant and frightening. Dr. Juan R. C spedes, Ph.D., a notable contemporary historian, geopolitical analyst and prolific author, has spent over three decades studying the rise and fall of democratic governments. His exacting research reveals the many and factual reasons to be alarmed. The clearest warnings include a failure by the coup plotters to refuse the use of violence unequivocally, their rejection of the democratic process, and their eagerness to strangle the civil rights of their political opponents. Political extremism such as this, once considered to be confined to the periphery of American politics and inconsequential, has now become established and expected behavior. The legal, ethical, and institutional norms that previously protected the Constitution and the American democratic process are failing us. Worse yet is the fact that the existence of a coup is unknown to most Americans. Dr. C spedes points out that when this has happened in other countries during the 19th and 20th centuries, the invariable result was social and political chaos, the disappearance of democratic rights, and the reversal of individual opportunity and economic prosperity. With this research Dr. C spedes coins two new terms that enter the lexicon of political analysis: the "coup d' tat typique", and the "coup d' tat graduel". Dr. C spedes argues that our democratic traditions must be reinforced by strengthening the rules that have guided American democratic values-fair play, political moderation, and bipartisan consensus. These are deep-rooted traditions that have existed in the United States since its founding, and disrupted only momentarily by the Civil War. Prepare to be transfixed by this book, and its factual, useful, and mind-opening details.
