The Democratic Party has changed beyond recognition. Once the party of anti-communism and tax-cutting under President Kennedy, it is now dominated by a surging socialist movement and led by a presidential candidate who vows to “transform” America.
On a near-daily basis, the Democrats are issuing radical proposals to socialize medicine, industry, and higher education. So how can the Democrats win elections when their agenda is so far to the left of the American people?
That’s easy—it’s because the means of public debate are being manipulated.
In Countdown to Socialism, Congressman Devin Nunes exposes the nexus between the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, and the social media corporations. These three entities cooperate to blast out the Democrats’ message and downplay their extremism while suppressing and censoring conservative points of view.
Tens of millions of Americans are only seeing one side of the debate. The information they get from newspapers and social media is not “news”—it’s contrived content designed to help one political party and punish its opponents.
In the run-up to the most consequential election of our lifetime, read this book to learn how your information is being skewed and regulated to force America onto the path to socialism.

The Leftists are coming! The Leftists are coming!
Well, actually they're already here, and barely operating in the shadows anymore. Like the proverbial camel getting its nose under the tent - if the camel were a sort of hydra with an infinite number of heads oozing thru every opening it could find - they're looking for every opportunity to grasp power & permanently consolidate their hold on it. Too hyperbolic? Sadly, though I wish that were the case, it's not really. This 90-page pamphlet or booklet has just 5 chapters fairly concisely warning of the Left's Trojan horse triumvirate: the DNC, the mainstream media & social media (personally, I would lump the last 2 into the broad category of media & add higher education as the 3rd, but Nunes does include education in his explication of the socialist disinformation campaign). And elaborating on how they control the information, or more accurately disinformation (propaganda) flow. This is not a pro-Trump booklet, but a pro-American one. As Chapter 1 "Outside the Swamp" explains, there are powerful forces out there looking to fundamentally transform our nation into one that our Founding Fathers not only wouldn't recognize, but would have soundly rejected - because they knew history well enough, especially with their having lived at the time of the French Revolution, to know the consequences of such thinking, regardless of how good the intentions of the usefully duped populace might have been. Congressman Devin Nunes is sounding the alarm because there is precious little time remaining for our Republic. The Neo-Marxists who have overtaken the DNC are promising to transform our country & have already tipped their hands on the stark difference between what that will actually look like vs their empty promises. Nunes knows what it's like to be in the crosshairs of the Neo-Marxists, and their willingness to sacrifice anyone for their cause (except their own selves, of course). Because of that, it's not overly surprising that several of the illustrations of his point in this booklet come from his own experiences with the machinations of that triumvirate. To quickly summarize the rest: Chapter 2 "Collusion Delusion" outlines how the investigation into Russian attempts to influence the election (which has long been the case not just for Russia, but also China, Iran & others) was "transmogrified" into the alleged collusion - now proven to be a complete fabrication, yet many people still have no idea - to elucidate the extent to which the Left is willing to go to accomplish its goals Chapter 3 "The Fake News Complex" connects the dots between the various frivolous ethics charges brought against Nunes, & made so much of by certain media groups, back to the individuals who were behind the manufactured Steele Dossier who had vowed to get back at him. He goes on to compile a list of some of the more egregious, recent examples of likewise inexcusable media manipulation. Chapter 4 "The Disinformation Funnel" describes how social media, specifically Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, & Instagram, function as the Left's message distribution centers. They're working to insure that the correct info is propagated & doing their best to choke off the undesirable sources. Chapter 5 "Information Desert" holds California up as the example of what the Left did to Nunes's home state. We can readily extrapolate their fate to our country as a whole. Many of us already have a pretty good idea of these efforts, but purportedly some 55% of the public never sees/hears any info that contradicts the Left's narratives. It's up to us to try to share it, PERSUASIVELY not aggressively, with any who profess to love this country. [The publisher, Encounter Books, was offering a bulk purchase discount last I saw]
Let's get this circulated asap!
This is a everyday people eye opener. A must for all Americans to expand their understanding of what is behind these disconcerting times. Very interesting and readable. I wish it elaborated more but understand the desperate purpose to get this information out (my opinion). This book delivers messaging "trust but verify". Thank you Congressman Nunez! P.S. Read in under an hour!
A Quick to the Point Broadside Explaining the Current Situation Faced by U.S. Patriots
First, why did I chose to read this book? I have been following Devin Nunes for the last year when I became aware of his efforts in the House Intelligence Committee to uncover the Russia Spygate fiasco. His team has connected a lot of dots in unmasking those who perpetrated the hoax. I am impressed with both his efforts and logic. The problem for so many Americans is that it takes quite a bit of effort to understand not only the Spygate but also all the other initiatives being driven by the liberal left. The most common complaint that I hear from fellow Americans is, "I don't understand their logic! How can they be pursuing the destruction of our country?" Again, they don't understand for two reasons: 1) A lot of Americans ( Nunez estimates 55 million Americans) only watch the disinformation being provided by the mainstream media (MSM) even when the polls show that only 14% of Americans believe the MSM. 2) It takes a fair amount of time an effort to find the real news and then research and digest it. Many Americans don't have the time or inclination to do it. If I wasn't semi-retired I would be in the same boat! So when I saw Devin Nunes interviewed on the Dan Bongino Show, promoting this book I paid attention. I'm glad I did! Congressman Nunes purposely kept his book short and to the point ( it's only about 90 pages long). He calls it a broadside, which back in the eighteenth century was a large single sheet used to distribute major news events throughout the colonies. In fact, he points out a broadsheet was used to announce The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Congressman Nunes picked the optimal format to explain what is going wrong with our nation and how it got there. I highly recommend this book to all patriotic Americans who have been saying, "I don't understand their logic! How can they be pursuing the destruction of our country?" This book will connect a lot of dots for you and it will only take you a couple hours to read it. If you don't read anything else, read this book! Please read it before you vote. BTW, you are going to vote aren't you?
Wake up to truth
This book is a very quick and precise read to understanding the truth and How the left operates to funnel fake news to unsuspecting Americans
Great short informative writing
I liked the content of this book and the way it was layed out. I'd hope anyone looking for answers for what is really going on would be interested in this read. Would recommend to everyone seeking clarity on what is happening around us,
Rec'd yesterday/read, & already passed it to friends
Should be required reading. Devin is excellent at facts & at explaining things in such a concise way. It is easily read in one sitting; I passed it on to a friend with a large family. It needs to be shared.
Nunes Rings the Alarm! “Is America Going to Be Alright?”
In this pamphlet as with Thomas Paine’s creations of the 18th Century he rings the alarm! I have been closely following this story and am not a casual news consumer. This is the man, as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who found the coup and was demonized by the media as creating a false narrative when he unmasked the truth of Russiagate. A true American hero. Nunes makes the case easy to read and digest regarding this sham, if one is not familiar with what went on over the last four years in Washington DC. His purpose statement and overview on page seven is easy to anticipate what transpires over the next 83 pages. The material has no references for all the sources are recalled from The House Intelligence Committee documents. The book can be readily read with immediate comprehension in an hour, even if one is not familiar with the story. If you are wondering why your thirty-year old child has “off the wall political views” with your sibling, desiring to identifying with the hip “Twitter Group,” then this short and concise work will assist your understanding of what is happening now. The model presented here brought to mind the Edward Enigma’s 3 D Box in the 1995 “Batman Forever movie” where Jim Carrey’s character placed these devices in all Gotham homes to brainwash the masses into zombies. This book needs to be given to all the ignorant 55% of Americans who still feel President Donald Trump is a Russian agent for they need to comprehend this account! This was an organized coup which continues to destabilize and topple a government. To the same 55% that rely on social media for your news; this work will set you to thinking about the propaganda you are ingesting. As in food consumption, it is imperative you understand what information you are consuming!
Excellently written and for a change honest asking Americans to stop and think!
I would recommend this book to all Americans. So that they can have information that will help take the blinders off and see what is happening to our country
Just More Fox Talking Points
I was drawn to this title because I was hoping it would give me a conservative perspective of why socialism is so feared by Republicans. Instead what I got was a book of Fox talking points. All I learned from this publication is Mr. Nunes's opinions about the Russia collusion allegations and his anger that conservatives are not represented in the media. I did not learn one thing about why he hates socialism, except for the back cover that implies it is a "resentful ideology." To my knowledge, socialist ideas include expanding opportunities to disenfranchised populations. The idea of free community college and healthcare for all does not seem "resentful" to me. I think if you want to hear more of Trump's rally speeches and Fox Pundit talking points, this book is for you, otherwise, it's title is totally misleading and probably meant to instill fear for other conservatives. I wish I could get my money back and coverage for medical expenses because my brain hurts now.
Opens your eyes to what is happening
"Socialist regimes tend to excel at propaganda. That's by necessity - socialism is a resentful ideology that exploits and widens class conflict, racial strife, and other social cleavages, pitting countrymen against one another." We are in the midst of a "revolution" but it's not to make America better. I believe that and so does Devin Nunes. This book is intended to open your eyes to the actual end goal of the socialist movement.
