Veteran reporter and news analyst John Stanton's predictions for a possible second term of George W. Bush are "not only shocking, but substantiated by the facts on the ground. The future described here is not only imminent; it may be a fait accompli. Both stimulating and irritating, this collection of essays paints a picture of a people, a country that lives on myth and illusion and is at war with itself and the rest of the world. Stanton explains how Bush has adroitly fused state, religious (faith-based government) and business interests into one indistinguishable tyrannical mass and his explanation of how this has been accomplished is eye-opening." From the Introduction by Karen Kwaitkowski, retired USAF lieutenant colonel, who spent her final four-and-a-half years in uniform working at the Pentagon.

“When will Americans realize that at this moment, the world stands one or two decisions away from WWIII, which would likely see the use of nuclear weapons and subsequent genocides and holocausts that may make those of the twentieth century seem pale by comparison?” ~ John Stanton

America 2020—A Nation in Turmoil— is a collection of observations on the US State of the Union in 2020. As I have written elsewhere, there is a critical need for the American people to interact with each other in a civil and civic fashion. There simply must be a return to the ideals embodied in the US Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As Norbert Wiener once remarked, “In a very real sense, we are shipwrecked passengers on a doomed planet. Yet, even in a shipwreck, human decencies and human values do not necessarily vanish, and we must make the most of them. We shall go down, but let it be in a manner to which we may look forward as worthy of our dignity."

Cancer for Jokers is an irreverent account of dealing with a recent diagnosis of incurable metastatic prostate cancer. Philosophical musings on life, death, and even politics, are peppered throughout the book. Cites to some medical studies are also included within providing some educational value for the reader. It is a one of a kind work that will appeal to anyone coping with an incurable disease, or readers who find dark humor to be good medicine for whatever ails them.

Over a five-year period John authored over 105 investigative articles—based on over 100 sources—on the US
Army's, TRADOC, Human Terrain System, that was part of the controversial COIN push in Iraq and Afghanistan. The effectiveness of the Human Terrain System in the face of the $726 million spent on it (rather than funding US Army Civil Affairs to perform the effort) remains a point of controversy in the military community. John’s many articles were part of a collective critique of the program by anthropologists, military personnel and other members of the media. He also wrote on dubious health care programs run by government contractors for veterans.
Over the years he has provided commentary for Home Healthcare Journal, The Daily Beast, Daily Caller, Virginia Pilot, The Washington Post’s Foreign Policy Magazine, The National (Abu Dhabi), The New Statesman (Ghana), Stars & Stripes, The Toronto Star, KCMO Radio Kansas City, America's Talk Radio NYC, Radio 101 Croatia, KPFA (Pacifica), NPR, Science Daily, WBAL (Baltimore), Russia TV, FARS News (Iran), Assafir (Lebanon), and many other media outlets.

radio program in Washington, DC, during the 1980’s.
He has written on evolutionary cognitive neuroscience and the emergent American national security consciousness. He has published hundreds of articles ranging from nuts and bolts reporting on homeland security and MISO/Cyber Warfare to impassioned critiques/polemics of US government leadership and American society/culture. He also has published three pieces of unremarkable poetry. He has written for National DEFENSE Magazine, American Behavioral Scientist, Ashgate Publishing House, Technology Transfer Journal, Convergence Magazine, Security Management Magazine, Australian DEFENSE, Outlook India, Scoop (NZ), The Seoul Times, Pravda, Dawn Newspapers/Frontier Post (Pakistan), Intelligence Daily, Cryptome, Defense Week, the Sri Lanka Guardian, Turkish Defence, and the History News Network.
His work is cited in scores of political/military/cyber related scholarly works. He received his MA in Political Science with minors in economics and international affairs from the University of Detroit Mercy, and his BS in Public Administration from Nichols College. John researched the impact of arms sales to the Persian Gulf and MiddleEast
countries while at the American Enterprise Institute.
He successfully completed training at the Defense Security Service and the Defense Systems . John is a life member of the National Defense Industrial Association. He is also a member of the OSS Society, AUSA and AFA. He has held security clearances and has traveled extensively.
John designed and taught an advanced high school seminar in the Washington, DC, metro region at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School titled National Security in the 21ST Century. This college level elective ran for 10 years. During that 10-year period every major military command and intelligence agency sent speakers to the class. Foreign diplomats from Israel, China, Brazil, Russia, and Libya, including others, were represented. Journalists were also featured. Over that same 10-year period, the class visited the USMC Museum in Triangle, VA.
John has maintained a “brass plate” for many years known as DeStonndun Analysis.

Belief in a higher power. Belief in Jesus Christ. Belief that the Higher Power is God-Goddess-Christ-Archangel Gabriel. Quietly pray. Observe the world in fascination. Thankful for gifts of the many people who have steered my life so well. Always feel alien on this planet, distant from people: a woeful contradiction.
Stoic, realist, independent and I believe in a Higher Power. Democrats/Republicans a two-headed monster. Americans have zero capacity for historical memory and are largely uneducated in matters political, cultural, national security. The USA is fracturing and I can see sometime in the future that the former USA will become a collection of city states paying tithes to a centralized military and police force for protection of life and trade routes. A violent country will die violently.
Excerpt from How the World Ends: a Story by John Stanton
I’m writing this letter to myself. I need to talk to someone, even it is only my own self. I need to believe that what happened was real...
Lucky
We figured we had a fighting chance against our opponents but make no mistake: it was because events were taking place outside the United States that might make our struggle successful. It is one thing to quell an internal rebellion, quite another to succeed against 100 million resistance fighters tucked away in metro areas while trying to win wars in foreign lands, on and below the world’s oceans, and in space. We figured that our opponents would eventually run short of fuel and munitions with so many to fight and we, luckily, were right.
Still, like all the other resistance groups around in the former United States and around the world , we lost thousands and thousands during the relentless barrages from air, sea and land. We started out poorly in defending the BMR on the ground but after fits and starts managed to push back our enemies. We learned that the Miami, Florida and Charlotte. North Carolina BMRs were defeated. Both Florida and North Carolina had a heavy government military presence and even with the help of those in the military that came to the aid of the resistance it wasn’t enough.
We celebrated the cessation of fighting for a short time. We all were skeptical that it was really over but our scouting parties found abandoned tanks, vehicles, artillery pieces and a lot of dead and decaying bodies. The peace was short lived. Then nukes came. And then the planet rebelled.
During some short time period, some fateful decisions were made by the former United States, Russia, Pakistan, India and China.
Who knows the sequence but the end result was horrifying. I guess the first thing to say was that China decided that US Pacific fleet forces, the three Carrier Strike Groups there, were vulnerable. China decided to take on those forces with their conventional forces and suffered badly. The Chinese surface, subsurface and air forces were largely destroyed. Given that hundreds of millions of their own people were fighting their Peoples Liberation Army within their own borders the vaunted advantage of PLA ground forces vanished. With their naval forces destroyed by the United States and Pacific allies, they decided to launch nuclear weapons at Japan, Okinawa, Guam and Taiwan where the US fleet had a presence. The same weapons were launched at the three carrier groups in the China area of operations with the result being the elimination of US forces.
At the same time. Russia decided that the time was ripe for moving further into Ukraine, the Baltic’s and Europe, into a barely armed Germany. Meager NATO forces supported by sacrificial US support units were no match for the Russians. Seeing defeat, the US launched scores of tactical nukes to stop the onslaught. At the same times, India and Pakistan decided to settle their scores by launching their stock of nukes at each other. Nuclear warheads flew between those two countries and around the globe. We learned that Newport News, San Diego, sub bases on the East and west coasts of the United States were destroyed by nukes. Washington, DC, Houston and New Orleans were also eliminated. Ground based missiles anywhere in the world, in our case in the Northwest, were cratered by nukes turning those places into radioactive no go zones.
The Nukes Time ended. Our skies were psychedelic with colors that defied sense. Orange, gray, blue, yellow, black colors would appear each day. It was getting cold as the sun seemed to fade into the distance. Our Geiger counters registered high but tolerable radiation. But many of us started feeling sick.
We learned, thanks to our telecommunications, internet and satellite technicians that the scene was the same all over the planet. Populations of the former United States, Russia, China, India, Pakistan Europe, Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico Indonesia, the African nations, were all now displaced moving by sea or land in hopes of surviving somewhere.
After the Nuke Time there was another calm period. Many of us were worried about this. We had all forgotten about Climate Change and planetary disturbances.
Earth Revolts
I remember one day waking up in the BMR thinking that the Earth had fallen away under me. I learned that the West Coast earthquake had finally come putting Los Angeles and the West Coast of the United States into the Pacific ocean. The volcano that was said to be dormant in the Pacific northwest exploded sending soot and tremors throughout the former United States. It was undeniable that the Earth said Enough! There were earthquakes and subsequent Tsunami’s everywhere. Volcanic eruptions around the Earth were so severe that the sky turned black.
Snowflakes made of ash fell from the sky. Respiratory distress was the norm. People coughed so hard that they vomited blood.
Probably the worst image of the times was picked up by a couple of our drones roaming over Ocean City, Maryland. Marine life started to appear on the beaches dead or dying. Thousands of people mauled each other and the dead, beached creatures for something to eat. The video was awful particularly since we knew that anyone eating the toxic meat from the oceans would have convulsions and vomiting with 24 hours and would die. The worst thing we saw from these video feeds was that people slaughtered each other for what they thought was good food.
All the coastal cities in the world are gone, sunk into the oceans. The oceans have turned into some viscous polluted mass. The seas and vicious weather pursue us up into the high ground or wherever we go.
I am ending this letter. I will drink a pint of vodka, take many opioids and go into the black. But before that, I will put this letter into the zip lock bag and bury it somewhere.

Sir.
Yes, what is it.
Our sentient droids scattered around and above this planet have uploaded our data for analyses into the primary ship.
Good.
Make sure that all the sentient programming on this planet is upload back into the bio machinery There is much to analyze.
Of course, sir.
Sir, one of our archeo devices has come across what appears to be a first hand account of the demise of this planet.
Good, construct it, translate it and send it to me.
Yes.
Are you ok ,sir?
Yes, this narrative is very sad, moving even. Well, put this in the archives with the other data retrieved from this planet.
Again, do not leave any of our sentient programs in this place. Send out warning satellites outside the ring of debris that surrounds this planet. Send out a warning using universal Planck communications that this place is toxic.
Let us move out of this solar system.
