The Puppeteers

The People Who Control the People Who Control America

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Why does it feel like no matter what happens in American politics, the Democrats still get their way?

When he left Congress in 2017, Jason Chaffetz still thought elections could save us. For generations, conservatives have hoped that freedom-loving congressional majorities could turn back the tide and restore America’s liberties and prosperity.

But now, he says, winning elections will not be enough.

Increasingly, the work of government is being done by people outside the government—unelected power brokers who are invisible to the American public but who pull the strings, set the agendas, create the incentives, and write the rules we must all live by. Using both government and non-governmental institutions, leftists have bypassed the legislative process to compel institutional compliance with partisan goals. The White House or the Congress may change hands, but the left remains in power.

In The Puppeteers, Chaffetz reveals how:

1. Susan Rice was put in charge of using the bureaucracy to make sure Republicans never win another election
2. The federal government now could be deployed to harvest ballots from Democrats
3. President Biden hired a Blackrock executive to run his economic agenda for the first two years of his presidency
4. State treasurers planned to use billions of government dollars to “address climate change” and “racial inequality,” with almost no way for voters to stop them
5. Randi Weingarten makes more decisions for the education department than people who actually work there

Electing the right leaders is no longer enough. To take back our country, the American people need to understand that they’re in a new fight. But it’s a fight that’s still eminently winnable, and Chaffetz reveals the playbook.

Top notch author

This story is consistent with his other books. A great story and definitely worth reading.

Great Eye Opener!

This was an excellent book. It highlights many examples of how the leftists select people (a B team) for unelected key positions to create control without voter approval and the impact this has on our freedom. Thankfully, he also discusses ways we can help change this over time. A more detailed book of strategies for the average American to help impact this change would be wonderful. Thank you

Every American should read.

Form a weekly reading club for everRepublican to read this book and discuss real solutions.Then we will know where they stood on saving the country.

The Puppateers

Sometimes the truth hurts but we need to hear it then deal with it. The author sets this truth up in a profound way and you don’t want to believe what the Government is doing to us. I recommend to one and all.” I’ll

The left’s seemingly irrational decisions made clear

Excellent book. Paints the picture of the real reasons why the left makes seeming irrational decisions. They are playing long all but as this book points out, there is still hope for the right, if we take action

Jason Chaffetz is a great narrator

I was SO depressed until the last chapter when Jason talked of the new Governor in Virginia.
If unelected bureaucrats are 95 percent dems, then living in a Red State is our only hope.
I do disagree with his comment that there is more in common among us, than what divides us.
I have absolutely nothing in common with dems who want to "pack the court", kill babies, confiscate AR-15s, or allow trans freaks to infiltrate our military.
OK, I'm saving a screenshot. We'll see if Amazon/Audible is part of the problem. Lord knows they have made plenty of money off me.

Excellent book!

This book was very insightful into the people and groups that control everything in America. I especially enjoyed the insight of voting for your state and local treasurers as the first place to start ending this corruption.

Eye Opening

This book opens your eyes to the “Deep State” and how deep it truly is. Those on the Left may not listen to this book, but EVERYONE right of center and independents should read/listen to this book. I recommend buying both the audio and printed so you can highlight and mark up the book. It’s truly a treasure and a labor of love for our country.

Sadly the corruption is not only in the government but it also in we the people

Sadly American Exceptionalism is dying and we are rapidly becoming part of the world order.😳
I don’t share the optimism that the author has.🙁
THE U.S. EMPIRE IS COLLAPSING FROM WITHIN. 😈 Americans have come to care more about freebies, killing their unborn children, pronouns and hate more than the health, prosperity and security of their country. 😖
If you can’t see corruption in both parties you might be part of the problem. For what both parties have been doing for decades we should be voting every incumbent out at every election and raising patriots in third parties until we get leaders willing to serve We the People instead of special interests.😠
Unfortunately we won’t because the corruption is not only in our politicians who sell the lies and promises but it is also in We the People who buy into the lies and promises.👺
WHAT DO EXPECT IN A COUNTRY THAT PREACHES AND PRACTICES SELF HATE?

EVERY WOKE PERSON KNOWS THAT IF GUNS ARE ILLEGAL CARTELS WON’T SMUGGLE THEM AND CRIMINALS WON’T USE THEM 😈
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT IT TO GET SO BAD PEOPLE WILL BEG AWAY THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM IN ORDER TO BE SAFE.👺
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER COMRADES, YOU WILL HAVE EARNED IT.🤗

Citizens United has destroyed a once great country now only sellouts can win elections.😈
IT’S THEIR DEMOCRACY NOW, WE THE PEOPLE NO LONGER MATTER.😳

Wow

This book is must read for all Americans. I fully understand why the Left is trying to destroy President Trump. It doesn’t matter if your name is Trump, the left is out to destroy our country by weaponizing the Federal government. This is the first book that makes sense of what I thought was really going on in our federal government and Americans need to wake up to this reality. Thanks for the insight!
