But that's not all.

Trevor has spent more than thirty years studying, analyzing, and documenting the ideology and aims of far-Left, Marxist, and Islamic organi-zations, and their extensive penetration of local, state, and federal institutions in the United States, and their influence on public policy and government. Trevor's holds that many of the public policies Americans regard as "mainstream," are acutally driven and steered by subversive elements. The Democratic Party's consistent opposition to adequate funding for the Military, siezure of one fifth of the U.S. economy in "Obamacare," agreement to a nuclear deal with the worlds leading exporter of terrorism, normalization of relations with Cuba, resettlement of Islamic "refugees" on U.S. soil, support for a 15-dollar an hour minimum wage, opposition to oil fracking, opposition to a wall on our southern border, and support for amnesty for millions of Illegal aliens, belie sedition by far-Left and Islamic movements. Trevor believes the actors behind these hostile efforts must be exposed and defeated if America is to remain free and and the guardian of Liberty around the world. Trevor's curriculum vitae includes: Loudon has unique insight into the extensive penetration and control over policy that miniscule Communist parties have achieved in many Western countries, particularly in the U.S. His research demonstrates that this insurgency isn't only a problem of the past, but a very grave and dangerous threat today, that endangers, not only U.S. National Security, but the survival of America itself. He has toured the U.S. since 2011, promoting his books "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within" and "The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress," an extensively footnoted expose of the rapidly unfolding Marxist takeover of the U.S. Government. Loudon has addressed more than 400 Conservative, Tea Party, Religious and Republican groups in more than 37 States. Trevor serves as a Fellow at the American Freedom Alliance and the Inter-American Institute for Philosophy, Government, and Social Thought. | | Chris Gaubatz is a national security consultant, speaker, and conservative political activist.
