Advance Praise for The Plot to Scapegoat Russia

“Dan Kovalik’s book, The Plot to Scapegoat Russia, is a beautifully written, uncommonly coherent, and very

compelling treatise on the issues facing America today . . . a troubling indictment of where we’ve been and where

we’re headed. Moreover, this book is profoundly important, and a timely retrospective review of American

foreign policy misadventures since the advent of the Cold War.” —Phillip F. Nelson, author of LBJ: The

Mastermind of the JFK Assassination and LBJ: From Mastermind to “The Colossus”

“The Plot to Scapegoat Russia . . . confronts the timeliest of subjects, the effort to resuscitate the Cold War by

blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for interfering in the 2016 presidential campaign on behalf of Donald

Trump, an effort pursued by CIA and the Democratic Party working in tandem. Kovalik establishes . . . that not a

scintilla of evidence has emerged to grant credibility to this self-serving fantasy . . . [and he] deftly eviscerates the

mainstream press. Reading [this book] will be salutary, illuminating, and more than instructive.” —Joan Mellen,

author of Faustian Bargains: Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace in the Robber Baron Culture of Texas

“The Plot to Scapegoat Russia underscores how the CIA’s infiltration and shaping of the media, which began in

the 1950s, successfully continues today. A very worthwhile account for anyone who wants to understand how

“reality” is manufactured, while ‘real truth’ is murdered and buried.” —Peter Janney, author of Mary’s Mosaic:

The CIA Conspiracy to Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their Vision for World Peace

“This timely and thought-provoking book turns Orwellian ‘double-think’ on its head in a cogent analysis of

what’s really behind all the saber rattling against Russia. . . . Dan Kovalik pulls no punches in dissecting the

history of how America has justified its own imperialistic aims through the Cold War era and right up to the

current anti-Putin hysteria.” —Dick Russell, author of Horsemen of the Apocalypse
