Expendable Elite
A special operations perspective on the Vietnam War and the truth about a White House concerned with popular opinion This true story of a special forces officer in Vietnam in the mid-1960s exposes the unique nature of the elite fighting force and how covert operations are developed and often masked to permit and even sponsor assassination, outright purposeful killing of innocents, illegal use of force, and bizarre methods in combat operations. Expendable Elite reveals the fear that these warriors share with no other military person: not fear of the enemy they have been trained to fight in battle, but fear of the wrath of the U.S. government should they find themselves classified as "expendable." This book centers on the CIA mission to assassinate Cambodian Crown Prince Nordum Sihanouk, the author's unilateral aborting of the mission, the CIA's dispatch of an ARVN regiment to attack and destroy the camp and kill every person in it as retribution for defying the agency, and the dramatic rescue of eight American Green Berets and hundreds of South Vietnamese.

Pisces Moon: The Dark Arts of Empire
Pisces Moon: The Dark Arts of Empire is a non-fiction book about what writer William Burroughs called, “the backlash and bad karma of empire.” Set against the author’s month-long trip to London, Vietnam and Thailand in early 1991, it tells how the American empire was created by rapacious businessmen backed by a murderous military establishment, media moguls who designed a relentless psychological warfare campaign that glorifies war and warriors, and clerics who contrived a religious justification for imperialism, the subordination of women, and the establishment of chattel slavery. Pisces Moon shows how these mythmakers, led by CIA drug traffickers after World War Two, destroyed much of Southeast Asia. It also tells how the myth of American greatness has come home to roost and is now manifest as the vainglorious, militant Christian nationalist movement that wishes to establish a right-wing dictatorship. Pisces Moon argues that the survival of American democracy, and the world, depends upon people being able to distinguish between material evidence and substantiated facts on the one hand, and conspiracy theories, religious beliefs, and supremacist myths on the other. “Doug, I just finished recording your book today, so it's in edit now. It's brilliant! At the same time informative, shocking, emotionally compelling. Thank you for writing it! Reading it has been an honor.” — Stefan Rudnicki, Grammy Award-winning narrator of the Pisces Moon Audible audiobook, available 16 May. "Douglas Valentine is our most unflinching chronicler of the Central Intelligence Agency’s bloody and sordid history. In this book, Valentine unfolds his vast and detailed knowledge of the Agency, and its twisted subculture, in the context of a first-person recollection of a long and surreal research trip through South East Asia. Filled with dingy bars, broken men, humid cities, and slabs of corrupt, covert, and violent history, the landscape comes alive; and the world of the Central Intelligence Agency emerges as even more deranged than you had recalled. Compelling yet tragic, Pisces Moon is compulsive reading." — Christian Parenti, professor of political economy at John Jay College, CUNY; author of Tropic of Chaos and Radical Hamilton. "In a beautifully written, idiosyncratic memoir-travelogue...Doug Valentine recounts his adventures in Vietnam and Thailand in 1991. Doug caught the BBC in bed with the CIA, whitewashing its opium and heroin trafficking around the world and the slaughter of millions it unleashed across South-East Asia." — Nicolas Davies, author and journalist. “If one seriously desires as never before to deeply understand the lurid details and the frightening karma and dark arts of US empire, read this book! The author has seriously documented the extreme dangers of the inseparability of US politics, economics, and organized crime. The CIA and military propaganda have led to a serious dumbing down, enabling popular political corruption and neofascism. The rich and powerful steal everything – from our souls to entire continents – as they lie, deny, and author physical violence as needed. And in case one needs to be reminded, the author explains how supremacist pathology emerging from centuries of White settler myths and anti-feminist propaganda, have detached the US from reality. Read this book – a great foundation for becoming a revolutionary!” - S. Brian Willson, author, trained lawyer, activist, Viet Nam veteran "Pisces Moon: The Dark Arts of Empire is a riveting book by a great investigative journalist that sheds important insights into the working of the CIA and on the underlying ideology guiding the U.S. empire and its bad karma that has resulted in the country's dangerous lurch to the right." — Jeremy Kuzmarov, Managing editor of Covert Action Magazine and author of five books on U.S. foreign policy, including Modernizing Repression: Police Training and Nation Building in the American Century (2012)

Aquash's Murder: Hermeneutical and Post-Modern Legal Analysis in Light of the Murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash
As the cruel South Dakota winter thawed toward the end of February 1976, a rancher on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation discovered the frostbitten corpse of a Jane Doe at the bottom of a 30-foot cliff, 100 feet from a state highway. An autopsy determined she had died of exposure, while the FBI sent her severed hands to Washington for analysis.Weeks later, a match of fingerprints to feisty American Indian Movement (AIM) activist Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash led to exhumation and another autopsy, this time revealing that she had been shot in the head. Those sympathetic to AIM assumed hers was simply one of nearly 200 unsolved murders during an era when the Reservation was held secretly under martial law, now known as the Reign of Terror.Months before Aquash's murder, a deadly gun battle between AIM members and two young FBI agents forced her to flee with her friend and fellow agitator Leonard Peltier. Although Peltier always denied FBI claims that he was the one who delivered coup de grâce shots to the agents, he was eventually convicted of double murder. This prompted unsuccessful popular movements for a Presidential pardon as inept lies from both sides helped stalemate any legal or political progress.As the new millennium approached, a heroin addict coached by two zealous FBI agents stepped forward claiming he witnessed Aquash's murder at the hands of an AIM executioner, John Graham. Like so many haphazard and contradictory acquittals and convictions related to the deaths of Aquash and the two FBI agents, Graham's procedurally esoteric case may suggest that the American legal system has become too obtuse and unpredictable. An international community looks nervously on, wondering if Peltier will die in prison as Graham now suffers a similar fate. release date January 2024

Follow The Money: How China Bought the World
While anyone can hop on a plane and fly anywhere in the world for work or a holiday, investigative journalist Michael McCarthy combines the two, using his frequent press trips as research for hundreds of stories of his travels to nearly 50 countries. While ostensibly reporting about places to stay, where to go and what to do on vacation, he also keeps his eye out for hidden clues about ways that the Chinese Communist Party is secretly infiltrating western democracies in order to take over the world. The book is structured as a page turner, one trip leading to the next, told in narrative style about what the author sees and where, and why the reader should know and care about what is actually happening to the world behind the scenes. The Chinese are taking over the world, and using Westerners money to do so, a true Trojan horse disguised as actions good for all concerned, but deadly dangerous for all.

Seven Commandments of the-Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman
These teachings were given to Martin through the ancient White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe as he stepped into his patrilineal and matrilineal heritage as a spiritual leader and holy man in the 1970's. For 25 years, he traveled sharing them with his own people as they began to restore their cultural identity and ceremonies. However, he was also instructed by the Spirit World to share his teachings with everyone - all the colors of mankind with whom he met duringhis travels- he worked to strengthen race reconciliation and to bring healing between Indian and non-Indian people, which continues to this day between the Lakota people and all the spiritual peoples of the world. This book is everything one ever wanted to know about The Teton Lakota's North American Indigenous people as they were pre-contact from European colonization. We are also offered a glimpse of the spiritual power and highly evolved civilizations they had, that emerged here in America- via oral histories from Lakota Intercessors- just like thosefrom antiquity- such as Moses; the Prophets of the Middle-East; Fu Xi of the I Ching in China; the Toltec Goddess Cihuatyl- also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico- and especially the Tibetans, among many others; from the Four Directions of the World. The 7 Commandments of The Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman therefore necessitates a multi-generational biography of Holy Man Martin Highbear- whose direct lineage goes back in written word to 1834- and encompasses Ancestral teachings handed down from generation to generation, along with supra.natural abilities to heal people and to see intothe future, in order to navigate what is to come. It was prophesized by White Buffalo Calf Woman that when the post contact and colonized Indigenous people finally returned to their sacred ceremonies, that She would return; much like what is prophesized in the Christian tradition. However, the Lakota were to practice their visions as a way of life- yet honor all the visions of the othercultures- in order for all of the people of the 4 directions of the world to come together in the Medicine Wheel as the 4 colors of humanity, empowering them to help save the world together.

Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies & Liars
A delusion is a strong belief or conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary. The Watergate delusion, embraced by millions, is that swashbuckling Bob Woodward and the left confronted the malevolent Nixon administration as it cast a sinister pall over America and slayed it with the lance of truth, thereby saving democracy. But the actual evidence demonstrates that Watergate was not a shining example of democracy, and Bob Woodward’s place among the pantheon of journalistic immortals is a grift.One of the grand deceptions of Watergate is that Nixon’s enemies on the left razed his presidency, but it was actually his enemies on the right—the far right—who initially had the means, motive, and opportunity. And although Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein told numerous lies throughout their Watergate reporting, Woodward’s Big Lie was that he didn’t meet Alexander Haig until 1973. As The Truth About Watergate takes the reader on a guided tour of the extraordinary lies and liars of Watergate, its demonstrates that Woodward’s fabrication about Haig has seismic implications. If Woodward’s Big Lie about Haig had been exposed, then the synergistic mythologies of Bob Woodward and “Deep Throat” would have been shattered and swept away by gusts of veracity.The Washington Post has scorned prior Watergate revisionist books, like Silent Coup: The Removal of a President as a conspiracy theory, but The Truth About Watergate shows The Washington Post has fervent, utilitarian motives for banishing Silent Coup to the conspiracy theory ghetto.

Conversations with David S. Lifton: Best Evidence to Final Charade
Mr. Lifton and I initially started talking per phone once a month or so around mid-2018, this due to the David Lifton Project, a video interview my students created back in February 2018 - the point being to share his all important research with the next generation of Americans, the youth of our nation; students sharing the importance of Mr. Lifton's work with other students. Though much of the student film covers the thesis of Best Evidence, midway into the film, Mr. Lifton discusses the seeds of Final Charade - which sprouted in March of 1980. Over the next few months, the frequency of our phone conversations grew to about once a week at its height. The origins of Conversations with David S. Lifton: 'Best Evidence' to 'Final Charade' stem from the fact that Mr. Lifton was aging, and I feared his some forty years (1980-2020) of post-Best Evidence research could be lost if he passed suddenly without anyone knowing how to access his research in his trusty but cryptic Apple MacBook Air. If so, Final Charade might never see the light of day. When discussing this with a fellow researcher, he told me emphatically, "Jim, you have to discuss this with him." As of this writing, I can only hope that the Estate of Mr. Lifton has access to his research in order to compose it and publish it. Frankly, this conversational and superficial approach will hardly make a dent in the width and depth of this man's forty some year quest to publish Final Charade. If published, Final Charade will be the final word on this topic. Mark my words. At this point, however, this work is better than nothing.

Psychological DNA: A Cold Case Analysis of Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy
It has been more than fifty years since presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, RFK, was murdered at the fashionable Ambassador Hotel in L.A. only five years after his brother John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The alleged shooter who gunned down RFK, the man with an odd name, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, (Sirhan) a twenty-four-year old Palestinian was apprehended at the scene of the crime with the smoking gun still in his hand leading to the conclusion that this seemingly was an open and shut case, or was it? Subsequently, Sirhan was tried and convicted of first-degree murder though his appointed defense team stitched together a poorly formed, modified insanity defense complicated by many unforced errors made by attorneys and expert psychologists and internationally known psychiatrist, Dr. Bernard Diamond. In PSYCH DNA, Dr. Brady who was immersed in the case from the beginning using modern criminological methods and new psychological assessment tools not available five decades ago has reassessed Sirhan’s mental state arriving at five current mental conditions that, in his opinion, if presented at trial could have changed the jury’s verdict and spared Sirhan a trip to San Quentin’s death row. What follows is Dr. Brady chronicling an amazing journey into the darkest recesses of Sirhan’s unconscious, altered mind where homicidal thoughts had percolated for years. At long last, Sirhan’s criminal mystery wrapped in a psychological enigma is unraveled helping us understand the psychodynamics of a would-be assassin.

The Manchurian Journalist documents for readers that their concerns about American journalism are justified. It shows that as the watchdog of democracy journalism has, since the Cold War, been compromised by influences unseen and unheard by the public in deciding what people read, hear and subsequently believe. This cultural cold war, led by a CIA and State Department-tied political strategy, involved major news outlets, magazine and book publishers, and worked through a network of unsigned intelligence ‘agents’ – and influential institutions, foundations and government agencies -- to propagandize the American public, challenge socialism and communism, and preserve an elite “Establishment.”

Two World Wars and Hitler: Who was Responsible?
Two World Wars and Hitler: Who Was Responsible? by Jim Macgregor and John O’Dowd takes readers on a deep dive into the murky waters of global politics, exposing the intricate web of money, foreign agents, and geopolitical schemes that shaped the events of the 20th century. This book challenges the accepted narratives surrounding the causes of the two world wars and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, peeling back layers of propaganda to uncover hidden truths. The authors bring their medical and academic backgrounds to bear on a meticulously researched investigation, connecting dots that span continents and decades. From the clandestine dealings of financial elites to the machinations of intelligence operatives, the authors argue that the outcomes of these conflicts were anything but inevitable. They propose that powerful individuals and institutions actively manipulated the course of history, prioritizing profit and dominance over the welfare of nations and humanity. This provocative analysis reframes well-known events, offering evidence that reveals the deeper, often unsettling, forces at play in the global arena. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student of geopolitics, or simply curious about the forces that shape our world, this book is an invitation to question what you thought you knew. Macgregor and O’Dowd’s exploration is both eye-opening and unsettling, calling readers to reconsider the narratives that have long dominated textbooks and media. Two World Wars and Hitler is a compelling read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the power structures that continue to influence our world today. Spring 2025

Last Resort Beyond Last Resort: The JFK Assassination, The Need to Protect West Berlin, and Why a Second Invasion of Cuba Never Happened
The John F. Kennedy assassination did not occur so the U.S. military could take over Cuba or initiate a global war with the Soviet Union. On the contrary, the conspirators killed JFK to prevent that from happening. The intent was to protect Europe from a potential Soviet invasion and to transfer the focus of America's military from Cuba to Southeast Asia, where the Pentagon was anxious to engage Communists militarily.Last Resort Beyond Last Resort is the first book to make this claim. The facts support this thesis and provide answers to questions that have confounded researchers for decades. It is an essential read for anyone searching for the truth behind the greatest crime of the 20th Century. It presents a fresh and rational explanation for why the conspirators had no alternative but to assassinate President Kennedy. For years, I believed that a domestic coup d'etat assassinated JFK to unleash a military that was chomping at the bit to flex its muscles against a Communist world that could not match America's firepower. Still, there was one thing I could never reconcile in my mind. Why, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, didn't the United States say Lee Harvey Oswald was working on behalf of Castro and use that as justification to invade Cuba? Oswald had defected to the Soviet Union and was a vocal Castro supporter. A photograph taken of him in the spring of 1963 showed him dressed all in black, holding his rifle and copies of a Communist and Socialist newspaper. He was a member of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, was arrested in New Orleans for a pro-Castro street demonstration, appeared in a radio debate supporting Castro, and allegedly tried to shoot right-wing General Edwin Walker. Two months before the assassination, he had tried to enter Cuba via Mexico City and, while there, met at the Soviet Embassy with Valery Kostikov, a KGB assassin. Two days after the JFK assassination, the CIA learned that Kostikov had also met with Rolando Cubela, a Cuban close to Castro. On the day of the assassination, Cubela was meeting with the CIA's Desmond Fitzgerald in Paris to discuss assassinating Castro. Meanwhile, a letter written by Oswald after he returned to Dallas referred to his meeting with Kostikov and that he had used a false identity while in Mexico. This alarmed many after it was learned that the Oswald killed in Dallas was 5’-9", while the Oswald who had defected to the Soviet Union years before was 5’-11". It was a frightening scenario, especially since on September 7th, 1963, Castro said that "United States leaders would be in danger if they helped in any attempt to do away with the leaders of Cuba…they themselves will not be safe." The U.S. military was primed and ready. All they needed was approval from the White House, and they would have responded with a shock and awe operation the world had not seen since the Korean War. Instead, nothing happened. The motivation behind the assassination began early in 1963 when Robert Kennedy was placed in charge of the Omega Plan/ AMWORLD operation to mount a second invasion of Cuba in December of that year that included left-wing Cuban exiles and the U.S. military. It was irresponsible and reckless to give the Attorney General such responsibility, and was the last straw for many who opposed the Kennedy brothers. Bobby was not qualified to head such an operation, and the fact that politics was the motivating factor behind it made it that much worse. It would eventually lead to a collaboration of right-wing leaders at the CIA, including Allen Dulles, James Angleton, William Harvey, Henry Hecksher, and Frank Wisner, ex-Nazi Otto Skorzeny and his Fascist group headquartered in Madrid, French OSS officers, intelligence operatives such as Jean Pierre Laffite, and a host of others to assassinate JFK and prevent AMWORLD from happening. At the center of it all was Lee Harvey Oswald, the designated patsy, whose right-wing political philosophy coincided with what these right-wing European Monarchists and their American supporters believed.
