In Their Own Words - by Terry Turchie & Donagh Bracken

Book Synopsis

In Their Own Words answers, an important question on the minds of many Americans-what is happening inside America"s Democratic Party today? During the 1980s, before the collapse of the Soviet Socialist Republics, prominent Democratic leaders Bernie Sanders and Bill De Blasio were ardent supporters of Marxist Daniel Ortega and his Nicaraguan revolution. Ortega was the man of the people, intent on forming a socialist government of equality in the Central American country. Today Ortega crushes dissent from the people he "liberated," joining Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela as just another "elected" dictator who has destroyed his country through the implementation of socialism. But who from the media is questioning the horrendous judgment of Sanders and De Blasio back then, as they actually push the same policies for America now? In Their Own Words shines the light on the insidious nature of socialism as the transformative step towards communist utopia. The problem is-the "utopia" part never happens. This book explains why. . (R. Jean Gray, Special Agent in Charge, Soviet Counterintelligence, FBI, New York, Retired).

Review Quotes

"In Their Own Words" is a chilling account of how our society is swerving far left into a socialist form of Government, where liberty and due process give way to socialist agendas. Corrupting the Department of Justice and the FBI is a step in the process. The authors have done a masterful job of plotting this dangerous course. We stand in the Abyss.-- -(Danny O. Coulson, Deputy Assistant Director, FBI, Retired).

"In Their Own Words does a superb case of linking the violent communist/socialist philosophy that people like Bernie Sanders and others are giving legitimacy. I was a Bombing Coordinator in the FBI's Washington, D.C. Field Office when the Weather Underground was tied to the U.S. Capitol bombing. Many Americans compartmentalize these past and present violent acts as singular events- not thinking they are part of a long term strategy driven by a philosophical belief that is evangelized by some Democratic Party politicians and media pushing communism/socialism forward with no end in sight. In Their Own Words shows these violent events are part of a larger movement stemming from the revolutionary violence of the 1960's and 1970's. I saw these same people racing down Pennsylvania Avenue back then, bent on destruction of government buildings. The only thing that stopped them was a line of DC policemen who exhibited remarkable bravery and restraint- the same policemen who some politicians and media personalities now hold up as targets of hate, derision and racism. It wasn't true then-and it's not true now." -(Donald E. Stukey, Head of the Soviet Counterintelligence Section, (Decade of the Spy-the 1980's), FBI Senior Executive Service, Retired).
