Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement? is aimed squarely at readers curious about the movement’s nature and implications, and is loaded with political weight and moral complexity. Why was this an important book for you to write?

I have taken the Oath of Office multiple times: as an enlisted soldier and officer in the US Army, and again as a federal police officer and federal agent. Everyone who works for the federal or State government swears this oath. It is a solemn promise to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Donald Trump and every member of the government have taken this oath.

I saw firsthand, as an agent, how fellow law enforcement officers were openly violating this oath and promoting the hateful ideals of MAGA, including acts of terrorism. So, when I retired, I knew the fight to protect my fellow Americans was far from over …

MAGA presents a severe internal threat — they’re the most dangerous foes the United States has ever encountered.

How much research did you undertake for this book, and how much time did it take to put it all together?

A tremendous amount of effort was needed, not only from me but also from many professionals who supported me—legal counsel, editors, an illustrator, fact-checkers, beta-readers, and others. From start to finish, working tirelessly, I finished it, my first book ever, in less than a year. Looking back, I realized it was basically a new full-time job for me.

I started this project and my writing career by gathering everything I could find about MAGA and Donald Trump supporting fascism. I copied and pasted freely, with no regard for copyrights, trademarks, or plagiarism. I aimed to create the most thorough “book” on the topic possible. It was a great catharsis, but it felt empty without taking any action.

Needless to say, that first “version” will never be published. Too bad, it was a really comprehensive book on its own.

I didn’t plan on becoming an author when I retired. However, after writing this “book,” I realized that I truly enjoyed writing and being an author. I showed what I had created to friends and family, and overwhelmingly, they thought it would be great if I wrote a book about the dangers of the MAGA movement to our democracy and freedoms.

So, I decided to write my first actual book on that same topic.

Starting fresh, I followed all the rules—and then some. As I previously mentioned, that is when I spent a small fortune to ensure everything was legal, followed all copyright laws, avoided plagiarism, and had everything checked for accuracy. I knew my book would be scrutinized by my enemies in MAGA. So, I had assembled a small team of editors, legal counsel, fact-checkers, an illustrator, and others. When I finished, I had a book I believed could help defend the Constitution and our democracy from the fascist movement called MAGA.

So far, the negative reviewers of my book have not only shown their pro-MAGA bias, but they also haven’t proven any fact-checked detail to be wrong. Those reviews are worth reading in the review section of my book on Amazon©, alongside the more thoughtful reviews.

That’s when I realized something else: simply publishing it wasn’t enough. I had to go out and talk about the book and the anti-fascism movement. That’s when my activism as a full civilian truly began. This is far more than just selling my books as an author; it’s a duty and a calling to defend our freedoms from MAGA. I will stand against all enemies, including MAGA, to protect our Constitution and my people.

What are some important ideas you wanted to share in this book?

The two main points are that MAGA is actively working to continue taking over our government—for the most part, they already have—and that they will have complete control unless we, as a nation of free citizens, actively work and vote to stop them.

Unfortunately, the MAGA movement has persuaded enough Americans to support them, leading to their takeover of the US and many state governments. That’s why I’ve written my sequel, Defeating MAGA, which will be published in September 2025.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement_?_

I hope it provides them with insight into how I was right to predict MAGA would rise to power unless we stopped them. It was intended to motivate action, including encouraging people to vote to protect their democracy and stop a fascist movement and a man who seeks to be a dictator.

Unfortunately, these efforts failed, and now we have institutionalized fascism in our country.

My hope now is that both this book and my sequel, Defeating MAGA, will help readers recognize the alarming rise of MAGA fascism that currently dominates our federal government.

In my new sequel, I will discuss more about how we got here, how they (MAGA) are indisputably fascists, how they are breaking the Constitution and our laws, their threat to our freedoms, and, most importantly, things we all must do—in any way we can—to stop the fascists in power. We need to restore liberal democracy and remove fascists from our country—wherever they are.

Otherwise, our democracy will collapse soon.
