Islam’s Deception: The Truth About Shariah

John Guandolo

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ISLAMIC LAWS THAT GOVERN MUSLIMS AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES?

Islam defines itself as a "complete system of life”—social, cultural, military, political, and religious—governed by sharia (Islamic Law). Following sharia is what it means to be a muslim. Submitting to Islam means submitting to Allah’s divine law—sharia.

There is no such thing as a “version” of sharia that does not require jihad until the entire planet is under Islamic Law (sharia). That is why muslim instructors teach it to muslim children in muslim schools all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the rest of the planet. There are disastrous consequences when Presidents and national security professionals do not know this.

A major part of the enemy’s strategic plan is to get America’s leaders to frame the “terrorist threat” without referencing Islam and the doctrine upon which they rely—sharia. Why do they want to hide this? Reading through this book, you will understand the true nature of the laws that muslim follow and knowing this will completely change how you look at the war we’ve been fighting against those who are commanded to subjugate us

  • “I say this gently: This is why the aliens won’t talk to us.”
  • “If you trust government, you obviously failed history class.”
  • “I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.”
  • “Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you.”
  • “I’m not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., won’t clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.”
  • “I have the right to remain silent but not the ability.”
  • “Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know. I’ve seen it firsthand.”

The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers use Immigration as a Weapon

Peter Schweizer

Every day, ICE is arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants with a criminal record. They didn’t just come here. They were sent here.

Our debates about immigration revolve around what happens with immigrants once they arrive.
We need to start talking about who is sending them and why. For decades, establishment elites
sold us the story of immigration as a compassionate renewal of the American Dream within a harmonious melting pot.

But beneath that narrative lies a different reality: Mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the United States—one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad. Now Peter Schweizer, the bestselling investigative journalist of our time, is blowing the lid off this whole series of schemes. 

Schweizer detonates a political shock wave eclipsing his past bombshells, revelations that have sparked FBI probes and bipartisan reforms.

Urgent, shocking, and overflowing with national security implications, 
The Invisible Coup makes
America’s greatest political threat visible for all to see—and solve.

1776

David McCullough

America’s beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation’s birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America’s survival in the hands of George Washington.

In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 
1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color; farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King’s men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.

Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough’s 
1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.
