The Red Thread

A Search for Ideological Drivers Inside the Anti-Trump Conspiracy

By: Diana West

Narrated by: Diana West

The first investigation into why a ring of senior Washington officials went rogue to derail the election and the presidency of Donald Trump.

There was nothing normal about the 2016 presidential election, not when senior US officials were turning the surveillance powers of the federal government - designed to stop terrorist attacks - against the Republican presidential team. These were the ruthless tactics of a Soviet-style police state, not a democratic republic.

The Red Thread asks the simple question: Why? What is it that motivated these anti-Trump conspirators from inside and around the Obama administration and Clinton networks to depart so drastically from “politics as usual” to participate in a seditious effort to overturn an election?

Finding clues in an array of sources, Diana West uses her trademark investigative skills, honed in her dazzling work American Betrayal, to construct a fascinating series of ideological profiles of well-known but little-understood anti-Trump actors, from James Comey to Christopher Steele to Nellie Ohr and the rest of the Fusion GPS team; from John Brennan to the numerous Clintonistas still patrolling the Washington Swamp after all these years, and more.

Once, we knew these officials by august titles and reputation; after The Red Thread, listeners will recognize their multigenerational and interconnecting communist and socialist pedigrees and see them for what they really are: foot soldiers of the left, deployed to take down America’s first “America First” and most anti-communist president.

If we just give it a pull, the “red thread” is very long and very deep.

Truth Serum for Comey, Brennan, the Ohrs, Et al.

Once again, Diana dissects, with the precision of a Surgeon, the flimsy Alibis of the Deep State players, revealing their long and detailed history of American betrayal, perfidy and sedition.

Welcome addition to "American Betrayal"!

I discovered Diana West by chance on Youtube during an interview with Stephan Moleneux, and it was a delightful exchange, so I thought I'd look up her books. I have both on audio and I listened to this one first. Now, I am almost finished with "American Betrayal", and I must say that the material in the Red Thread makes a lot more sense as I get farther and farther into the earlier work. "Red Thread" is easily understood without the background, but to shamelessly jump on the analogy bandwagon here, the Trump "blanket" turns into a complicated "tapestry" as you go farther back in time. The most impressive and intriguing aspect of both of these books is the volume of material! Just the volume alone, the references, the incredible detail of events long forgotten, is worth the read. Anyone wanting more information about the topic should get a pen and paper ready as you listen (or as you read) and follow the same literary path that Diana West has here: just fascinating, terrifying, and a very large sense of relief: that someone is "doing the work" of trying to map out the past, to see the threads of influence in our country. One of the first books I read was J. Edgar Hoover's book "Masters of Deceit", and then, in 2007, Paul Kengor's excellent book "Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century".
I would highly recommend both of Diana West's book and I will be picking up "death of the grown up" as well. There's a whole lot to unpack in "Threads" and "Betrayal". Looking forward to it.

Holy Crap

If you always suspected something was not right in Washington, this book confirms it. Well written and documented.

It is disheartening how revisionist history has shaped our country over the past century. If there was ever a time to someone to stand up to the swamp, this is it.

Your most dangerous enemy you refuse to see.

Diana West is the foremost researcher on Soviet infiltration into Western governments now that M. Stanton Evans has passed. In this book, she reveals the probable and likely ties that many of the anti-Trump conspirators have to the Kremlin based on their past associations with, and sometimes open praise of the Soviet Empire and its most notorious subversion arm, the KGB.

A Republic -- But Can We Keep It?

While AMERICAN BETRAYAL remains her magnus opus, West has here again shown her genius as an old-fashioned, shoe-leather journalist who is willing to do the hard work of ferreting out the facts and putting them together. In this case the finished product is a damning and frightening picture of what our country is up against if we are to keep our Constitutional Republic. Pay attention. The time is short and America's enemies are highly intelligent and deeply embedded.

Excellent clear history

This book has answered many questions and ties in may actors past and present that is a threat to our country. This is a must read or listen.

Highly recommended to everyone

An inciteful background into modern Western politics. A truly worthwhile read for anyone curious about what's behind the impeachment of Trump.

Incredible!

This should be required reading for anyone who has promoted the Russia collusion scandal. It's throughly researched and fascinating/scary how deep the communist thread runs.

Eye-opening reminder of the subversive DS actors

insightful. expose of the historical rrcord and socialist ideology penetrating our governmrnt A Must Read

Eye poppin!

I knew a lot about the players but had no idea how deep their ties went...sad!
