Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C, Albany, New York, and Dakar, Senegal. He attended Harvard University, graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.

He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College . He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University.

Great article! But I think someone over at AARP slipped up and allowed this article to be published. Someone forgot to take their meds.

With the help of ignorant masses a hostile force has taken over the government of the United States of America and is in the process of destroying the country. Sounds like a fiction thriller?... Fact is its true and happening right here right now.

Pray for America and against the forces of darkness

I dont believe anything coming from AARP.

Excellent write up and oh so accurate.

If this is the same thing I got via an e-mail the other day, Snopes has discounted it as not being written by Dr. Kaiser. (they contacted him).

I think on Snopes Dr. Kaiser, when contacted, said many of the views in the piece are opposite of his.

I’m hoping this fear is our friend, a motivator.

Hey Mr. Kaiser, we have too many people who are ‘afraid for their country and afraid for their children’ and not enough people who are ‘angry about their country and angry about the future for their children’. I file your article under the “Captain Obvious” column. The key is whether enough people will stop wringing their hands and start getting actively involved, and by active, I mean with force. Somehow, a son of a diplomat who went to Harvard doesn’t strike me as one who will join the fight, so I guess we’ll do it without you. You can write about us, though.

The link actually takes you to a forum page of AARP. I agree with others. Somebody has slipped up in allowing this on the website.

I have a choice:

.....I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust);

.....I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades;

.....or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..

I choose to believe the evidence.

Bump.....because he is right.

[WHBates]

Well I’m am not all of those things and I have the same fears. We are truly living in dangerous times. This craziness must stop if we are to survive. If a major change does not start in the next election it will become really scary because change will then only be possible through means must avoid. Just look at what almost happened in Honduras (it may yet). Seems that the dark clouds are gathering as a rapid pace.

The Part about the Federal Reserve refusing to tell us where
2 trillion dollars of your money went,is especially disturbing.

[expatguy]

Today we have race hustlers instead of brown shirts.

[silverleaf]

AARP published this?

Ru Roh, someone on the editorial staff is in Axelrod doo-doo. They will not be getting a signed WH kwanzaa card this year.

[sonofagun]

Pass this along.

Always arouses my suspicious nature.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I'm afraid too! That's why I marched on Washington on 9-12.

DC better be afraid....because next year, we are coming after every politician and booting them back to their home states, for good.

[sonic109]

Time for talk is over. I;m afraid there is very little time left for us to survive as the united States we once knew. There has been a soft takover of the country by extreme leftist and not much is being done about it .
Too busy watching Dancing with the Stars no doubt.
Time for civil disorder is here .
Time for major demonstrations
Time to shut down Congress and block it’s hall with thousands
Time we organize and have thousands call and call and call every day ( emails do not reach politicians by the way )

[Finny]

Exceptionally good article, and good to see it associated with the AARP — the man’s not preaching to the choir there.

My usual response as well, but this one must have slipped past their censors, or we've got a deep cover mole inside!
