The Puppeteers: The People Who Control the People Who Control America By Jason Chaffetz (2023)
Jason Chaffetz's "The Puppeteers" delves into the perception that Democrats consistently wield influence in American politics regardless of election outcomes. Chaffetz, departing Congress in 2017, initially believed elections could restore liberty and prosperity. However, he contends that merely winning elections is insufficient.
Chaffetz exposes how unelected power brokers, often invisible to the public, shape government actions, set agendas, create incentives, and dictate rules. Leftists, utilizing both governmental and non-governmental entities, sidestep legislative processes to enforce partisan objectives. The book outlines instances such as Susan Rice's role in preventing Republican victories, potential government involvement in harvesting Democratic ballots, and President Biden's appointment of a Blackrock executive for economic policy.
The Puppeteers highlights state treasurers channeling billions for climate change and racial inequality initiatives with limited voter influence. Chaffetz reveals how union leader Randi Weingarten wields significant influence in the education department.
Chaffetz argues that electing the right leaders is no longer sufficient. The book emphasizes the need for public awareness and understanding of a new, winnable fight to reclaim the nation. Chaffetz's work sheds light on the mechanisms through which influential figures exert control, offering readers insights into navigating this changed political landscape. 📚❤️
