the insider threat: how the deep state undermines america from within

This stunning whistleblower account reveals how the Deep State weaponizes federal powers against its political enemies and explores the disastrous reality of the Obama Doctrine, which seeks to create a global balance of power by weakening American preeminence and strengthening America’s foreign adversaries.

During his eight-year reign, Barack Obama transformed the U.S. national security, intelligence, and law enforcement bureaucracies as no other president in history has done, advancing a policy of U.S. diminishment that has undermined our global primacy to this day.

In The Insider Threat, Adam Lovinger draws on more than ten years of experience at the Pentagon to explain how the Obama administration orchestrated this coup.

Obama spent his first year in office persuading Americans that the U.S. should step back from its global leadership role to create a new world order based on ＂balance of power＂ politics. But what he never said out loud was that this meant Washington would transfer power to its enemies. When his 2009 worldwide ＂apology tour＂ proved a debacle, Obama changed tack--to subversion by bureaucratic fiat.

He spent the next eight years staging a stealth revolution inside America’s most sensitive government agencies, using ideological infighters to replace America’s strategic objectives with those of China, Russia, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. In return, through a range of acts and omissions described in this book, America’s adversaries helped Obama and Joe Biden win elections, wealth, and prestige.

Equal parts George Orwell and Franz Kafka, The Insider Threat exposes--for the first time--the secret playbook that Lovinger discovered on his U.S. Department of Defense computer. This file reveals how corrupt senior officials enrich their patrons at taxpayer expense, advance the interests of America’s enemies, undermine core U.S. national interests from within, and make administrative reform impossible.

Even longtime Washington insiders will be shocked at the extent of lawlessness that now passes for normal in America’s administrative state.

Adam S. Lovinger currently serves as vice president for strategic affairs at the Gold Institute for International Strategy, a Washington DC-based think-and-do tank. In 2017 he was senior director for strategic assessments at the US National Security Council (NSC). From 2006-2017 he provided direct support on long-term US national security strategy to the secretary of defense from the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA). Loving has served as adjunct professor in three Georgetown University graduate schools and guest lecturer on US grand strategy formation, net assessment, and the emerging US-China long-term strategic competition at the Yale University Superpowers of Influence series, the German Council on Foreign Relations, the Oxford University Changing Character of War series, the Permanent Joint Headquarters Command of the British Armed Forces, the Kinrad Adenauer Stiftung think tank, the European Commission, and the United Services Institute of India. He holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Georgetown Law.
