http://www.truthtopower.tv/For the first time, all five of these fearless authors come together to speak truth to power. They expose shocking trends towards an accelerated merger of religious fanaticism with a corporate-controlled federal government, and blatant subversion of constitutional guarantees that, if left unchecked, could well lead to a police state.
We may be one terror attack away from a totalitarian state. Everyone needs to see this film!

"The Warning" is the most analytical, comprehensive, and uncompromising of the many DVD reports now available on the crises facing the United States as a democracy and a world leader."

http://www.truthtopower.tv/naomiw.htmNaomi Wolf: The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young PatriotNaomi Wolf is the author of seven other books, including The Beauty Myth and Promiscuities. The End of America was a New York Times bestseller. She is the cofounder and president of the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership and cofounder of the American Freedom Campaign, an American movement for democracy and the rule of law, www.americanfreedomcampaign.org.
Reviews:
One of the most important books that's been written, certainly in the last decade or two, and perhaps in my lifetime.
-- Thom Hartmann, best-selling author and host of The Thom Hartmann Radio Program
Naomi Wolf's End of America is a vivid, urgent, mandatory wake-up call that addresses momentous issues of tyranny, democracy, and survival.ä
--Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of the three-volume Eleanor Roosevelt
The framers of our Constitution fully understood that it can happen here. Patriots like Madison, Paine, and Franklin would certainly applaud Naomi Wolf and recognize her as a sister in their struggle.
--Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again
You will be shocked and disturbed by this book. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet's Chile. Sadly, the parallels and similarities, what Wolf calls the "echoes" between those societies and America today, are all too compelling.
--Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights
PROMO New Book (follow up to End of America):
In GIVE ME LIBERTY: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries (Simon & Schuster; September 16, 2008; $13.95), Wolf investigates the roots of a growing national malaise that has bred "fake democracy" in the United States over the last three decades, a condition marked by equally fake patriotism and a modern notion that we Americans are "the Elect." This is direct heresy against the founders' intent, Wolf says: Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and the rest "did not create liberty for America, but America for liberty, which they understood as part of universal law. The founders had made it clear that we were not supposed to see ourselves as constituents, voters or recipients of the leadership of our representatives. We ordinary people were supposed to run things ourselves."

REVIEWS:
"Chris Hedges may be the most credible figure yet to detect real-life fascism in the Red America of megachurches, gay-marriage bans and Left Behind books. American Facists is at its most daring when it enunciates...the perversities that are obvious to those of us not beholden to political exigencies."
-- New York Observer
"Throughout, Hedges documents, and reflects on, what he feels is the bigotry, the homophobia, the fanaticism -- and the deeply un-Christian ideology -- that pose clear and present danger in our previous and fragile republic."
-- O, the Oprah magazine
"This is a powerful book that looks inside some of the darkest movements on American soil."
--Time Out New York
