The book that predicted this moment.
Now more dangerous to ignore than ever.
We Are The Bad Guys
The Global Cost of American Power
A Marine combat pilot spent 20 years asking the question no American is supposed to ask: what if we’re not the good guys?
Drawing on declassified documents, leaked cables, and primary sources — with 45 pages of endnotes you can verify yourself — this book doesn’t ask you to trust the author. It asks you to look at the evidence.
The rest of the world already knows what’s in here. It’s time Americans did too.
From the Introduction
“I started to notice that the looks on the faces of the local population weren’t those of gratitude, or of liberation, or even of freedom or happiness. They were looks of resignation and distrust.”
“When I travel and discuss history or current events with citizens of other countries, they frequently look at me with a confused expression and ask…”
“How can you not know this?”
“That’s an excellent question. How can we not know? The answer is that we live in various information bubbles. The information that we receive in those bubbles influences what we think we know and subsequently how we think.”

Coming SoonWhat You’ll Discover
Four parts. One argument. Documented at every step.
Part I: The American Bubbles
How information control shapes what Americans believe about their country — and why the rest of the world sees us so differently. This is where most readers have their first moment of recognition.
Part II: Economic Warfare
The hidden mechanisms of financial coercion, sanctions, and economic pressure that enforce American dominance worldwide. The weapons you never see reported on the news.
Part III: Covert Operations
Declassified evidence of regime change, coups, and interventions across decades — from Latin America to the Middle East. Every claim sourced. Every document real.
Part IV: The Path Forward
This book isn’t defeatist. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward making America what it has always claimed to be. The argument ends with accountability, not despair.
