 The opus Dei chapter was shocking to me, as I am aware of the Hansen case and his ties with Opus Dei

I used the book to review a thesis I have had as to the KGB and SVR tradecraft used on Trump and others. This book did that confirmation of KGB/SVR tradecraft, and that was my primary motivation. The book also makes the point that if one outstanding example of such corruption exists, i.e. identifying Trump as a purely transactional leader ( what is it in for me ) that indeed we have NOT seen the end of attempts of compromising OTHER future leaders. Beyond that, the book amplified the role of Opus Dei in ways which struck home as I was briefed in person with others as to Hansen and Opus Dei, so that Orders cameo appearance with regards to Bill Barr struck home like a ton of bricks. As bad as Trump is, and his initial KGB and later SVR connections really are, legally, the ugly corruption of Opus Dei and other secret cabals infesting the Justice Department and then the Supreme Court are also a contributing factor to Trump and the decline of the American Republic. Barr who nearly helped Trump steal the POTUS election in 2020 would not have been so lethally effective if it had not been for Opus Dei connections and the Federalist society gumming up the works of normal legal work. So, to conclude, Trump was built on a foundation of KGB/SVR laundered cash, and held partly unaccountable for years due to the machinations of Opus Dei. i.e. and these sort of entanglements are the ones which have to be not allowed. That plus the full scale harassment of CIA officers by Barr as detailed on page 265 of this book

American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treason

Title of review

Details of how Trump, Epstein , and others were compromised, but they are not the only ones!

Review:

I have had the book for enough time to realize that it was discussing a KGB analysis of how American elite corruption can be weaponized for manipulation of our political process. Epstein played a key role , but more to the point is the pre selection of moral lepers who are purely transactional in their motivation for our leadership cadre. The KGB wanted people with this transactional motivation who were deeply corrupted, since such individuals will do ANYTHING to have their compromised status not revealed in public. The book is incomplete as it does not go into some details of the KGB money laundering which snared Trump for decades, but what is said about Trump ALSO applies to a whole new generation of moral lepers in our economic and political leadership. Point being that Trump is the most famous case of all, but I can guarantee that there were and are others as compromised as Trump in both the Democrat and Republican parties who have much the same motivation. Trump is getting the spotlight as an existential threat to our nation, but others, if left unchecked could be just as dangerous as Trump. Sad to say we have not seen the end of this one. There was and is an assembly line of other would be Trump's out there and the rot and damage to the American nation is terrifying

So what is the problem?

A. Horse blinders, i.e. the refusal of the Democrats to realize that there is a BI PARTISAN corruption problem with Trump merely the worst example

B. The Jeffrey Epstein blight as to corruption of the US political aristocracy was BI PARTISAN

C. Fairy tales must be told the US public as judged by those in charge of the narrative. The refusal of Democrats to acknowledge serious corruption issues will in turn lead to FUTURE Trumps .

D. The root of the problem is the let's pretend narrative of those who are voting who do not realize that the only way to cure what lead to TRUMP in power is a root canal therapy of civic corruption

Dictatorships thrive on corruption. Trump will be replaced by a far smarter authoritarian who will ALSO thrive on CORRUPTION but not be so stupid. And if we do not face up to this simple truth, then the American Nation will be finished for good.
