With the release of his underground bestseller Final Judgment in January, 1994, Michael Collins Piper’s name was officially placed on the map of those political writers who had to be contended with seriously. In pursuant years, Piper honed his craft (as he’d been doing for quite some time) as a columnist and researcher for the notoriously groundbreaking Spotlight newspaper, a publication which threatened the D.C.-Zionist cabal to such an extent that it was eventually forced out of business (via bogus, underhanded litigation).

Unable to be suppressed, though, the Spotlight’s core staff reemerged shortly thereafter with the American Free Press, a weekly publication that continued their populist tradition. These years were also fruitful for Piper, who further established himself with two highly successful follow-ups to Final Judgment: The High Priests of War and The New Jerusalem. Lastly, as a nod to his ongoing popularity and influence, The Michael Collins Piper Reader (republished as Dirty Secrets: Crime, Conspiracy, and Cover-Ups During the 20th Century) was released in 2005.

Now, as our nation slogs through the quagmire of an increasingly disastrous Bush-neocon administration, Michael Collins Piper has thrown caution to the wind by moving in a slightly different direction with The Judas Goats, which examines how the American nationalist movement (along with many other entities) has been infiltrated, corrupted, and even destroyed by “an enemy within.”

Touting 40+ chapters and a photo gallery that is unequalled in its variety, The Judas Goats touches upon such subjects and individuals as:

• Wicked Michael Chertoff, who holds a dual Israeli-American citizenship
• The real story behind Oklahoma City’s 1995 “terrorist attack”
• Bill & Hillary Clinton: CIA operatives
• The Mossad-ADL-FBI connection to 1993’s original WTC bombing
• Malachai Martin and subversion within the Vatican
• The John Birch Society as you’ve never seen them before
• George Bush's real foreign policy guru - Natan Sharansky
• The blackmailing of J. Edgar Hoover by Meyer Lansky

Naturally, all of the above topics were of great interest to me; and Piper’s decision to keep each chapter relatively short was a wise one (thus allowing him to cover more ground). But there is one section in his new book that I have a point of contention with, namely a seemingly innocuous sentence where Piper writes, “There’s nothing more I detest than having an author inserting himself into the narrative of his own non-autobiographical book …”

To his credit (probably due to a healthy dose of humility), Piper doesn’t realize one of his greatest strengths as a writer – his ability to tell an absolutely compelling personal story which at the same time conveys a much larger political connotation. Anyone who has listened to his radio show on RBN knows precisely what I mean, for Piper’s anecdotes, asides, and first-hand accounts are what draw his audience in; and then, before anyone even realizes it, he reveals a bigger picture and the moral to his story.

The portion of Judas Goat where Piper makes the above-mentioned statement revolves around a character named Roy Bullock, who would eventually be exposed by the Spotlight as an ADL operative. These two chapters where the cat-and-mouse game unfolds are, in my opinion, the book’s best, for I’m sure every reader will get the impression they’re actually sitting in the same room with the author hearing this story as if it were told for the very first time [and that, I must say, is damn good writing]!

Anyway, Jesus once advised us, “Be harmless as doves and as wise as serpents,” and this admonition couldn't be closer to the mark, especially in the shadowy world of political conspiracies. Of course it'd be nice if everyone who called themselves “patriots” were actually true to their word; but regrettably, as has been proven time-after-time for decades, there are a plethora of wolves in sheep’s clothing who lead many well-meaning people along dead-end roads, rabbit holes, and a highway of lies.

Luckily, Michael Collins Piper (as well as a few others in this movement) has the courage to point out and expose the betrayers in our midst; and it is for this reason that The Judas Goats is so valuable. Sure, the world would be much more pleasant if we remained perpetually naïve behind our rose-colored glasses; but there’s too much at stake for the powers-that-be to simply sit idly by. Therefore, they infiltrate, betray, spread disinformation, forge questionable alliances, and corrode our ranks --- it happened centuries ago, decades ago, and rest assured, it’s happening today.

The big question now is: are you properly equipped to identify the enemies among us? If not, then this book is a great place to start. [And if you've already been around the block a few times and think you know how to spot a rat, The Judas Goats is a great way to keep your eye keen and your talons sharp.]
