How They Invented the Deep State While No One Was Looking
The most repressive government machinery ever created in the United States
Amazon Reviews
First, thanks to all who responded to the appeal for Amazon reviewers. If I acknowledged your response, you are among the original 20, and you should have received your copy by now. (If not, please let me know right away.) If I did not reply, then you are on the wait list. Of course this does not preclude you from writing a review anyway. Amazon reviews make a big difference, and they provide a good opportunity to get your considered views read by thoughtful, literate people. As of now, my average review on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk (not all the same reviews), is 4.9 out of 5.
The Original Deep State
I recently gave this interview about my book to a remarkable internet show, “This is Shah", that is influential among young men searching for answers on marriage, family, divorce, and women. Unusually among internet “influencers”, the host himself, is not only highly knowledgeable about the government's family policy machinery, but he has professional experience working in it. He worked in perhaps the least-scrutinized but most repressive sector of the divorce industry — in fact, the most authoritarian government apparat ever devised in the US: child support enforcement. If you plan to marry (or even cohabit), it is essential that you realize the terrifying destruction that this, the original “Deep State” in many respects," can inflict on you. It monitors and controls the most minute details of your private life, and it can easily leave you impoverished, imprisoned, homeless, and dead. (I documented the full horror in a previous book, Taken Into Custody (ch. 3) But even more, as I argue in my new book, the methods they pioneered to shake down legally innocent fathers (and even non-fathers) and loot everything they have — using their children as hostages — are now being expanded throughout the government machinery against other law-abiding citizens. If you want to glimpse the future, this is it.
Interestingly, a few months previously, Shah commented on another interview I had given a few years ago:
And not long before that, Shah himself gave this highly informative interview to Pearl Davis:
Note that he has no desire to defend the system. His courage and independence of mind deserve to be heeded. Men spend too much time complaining and opining about their oppression and not enough understanding why it happens and what can be done about it. This will make you understand.

My Substack article, “Why the United States Went ‘Communist’” which summarizes themes of the book was picked up and republished at the Forum for Democracy (FvD), a Dutch political party founded by MP Thierry Baudet. FvD also serves as a think tank, and their site regularly publishes interesting articles by serious intellectuals such as their director, John Laughland. They also republished “Why Is There a Left?”, which elaborates a theme that is implicit in the book, and other pieces.
Book Launch:
Finally, Save the Date: October 3, 6:00pm: If you are near Warsaw in early October, my book will be officially launched at my university, the Collegium Intermarium (ulica Bagatela 12, in central Warsaw). I will be speaking, along with some important figures from the world of academics, publishing, and politics, and I will sign copies. If you cannot be in Warsaw (a charming city in the autumn), online participation will be available.
Child support enforcement is the most repressive government machinery ever created in the United States. That's because it was based on Soviet Family Law, Article 81, now Russian Family Law. It was adopted by Sweden (which has a Marxist social system, while at the same time running a free market capitalist economy; like the U.S. at present). Then it was co-opted by Dr. Winklestein of Univ. of Wisconsin who brought it back from Sweden to the United States. It was originally called "The Wisconsin Child Support Model". In the Soviet child support enforcement system, they created the "deadbeat dad" moniker that was adopted here. Soviet child support enforcement would garnish a man's wages, impoverishing him and leaving him essentially homeless. A lot of the child support went to the mother as de facto alimony, since the mother used it for her own personal aggrandizement. The Soviet system seized assets, money, cars, and essentially made men alcoholics and homeless. This became a huge problem in the Soviet system that ultimately led to the collapse of their economy, as no men wanted to work anymore. The Soviet system always gave the mother custody of the child. There was no Due Process. You were guilty because you were a man. You were doubly guilty as a "deadbeat dad". All of this was adopted in the United States, and the fascist child support enforcement jackboot was put on the man's throat since the early 1980s. That's one of the main reasons women can't find men to marry in today's society. Because the Soviet-style child support and family court fascism in the United States can rear its ugly head at any time the woman tires of the man.
