Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham, an authority on the Trump-Putin relationship, has issued a stark warning about the current state of American democracy. In a recent Substack post and her book "From Democracy to Democrazy: A Warning to All Americans," Graham contends that the United States is succumbing to tyranny and despotism under the influence of a traitor controlled by a foreign enemy.
Graham, who spent nearly twenty years in Russia, Central Asia, and Ukraine, writes that she became bi-cultural, intimately understanding both the good and bad of her homeland and Russia. She draws a parallel to the Roman Republic, quoting Marcus Tullius Cicero: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within." Graham argues that many Americans doubt Trump is a traitor, despite evidence she presents.
According to Graham, Trump's actions align with Putin's wishes, including removing U.S. troops from Germany, closing USAID, and undermining NATO. She claims that Trump was compromised during a Moscow trip where he was wined, dined, and trapped by the KGB, verified by former KGB operative Oleg Kalugin in an interview for the book "American Kompromat." Graham also alleges that Russian organized crime launders money through Trump condos and that Trump's net worth increased by $2 billion in the last year, as reported by Forbes.
Graham highlights the closure of USAID, which she says led to approximately 22 million preventable deaths in Africa by 2030, according to The Lancet and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She calls this a deliberate mass extermination, comparing it to the actions of Hitler and Stalin. Both Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified to Congress that no child died on their watch, which Graham labels a lie.
The book has received rave reviews. One Amazon reader called it "an excellent book about the threat that Russia poses to America" and an "urgent warning." Another stated it is "a must read to understand how the President in name only is clearly tied to Putin's world." Clare Harwood, a publisher, noted that Graham draws from lived experience, making her commentary non-partisan.
Graham's Substack, egraham.substack.com, offers daily or weekly messages drawing on her decades of experience. Her book is available at Amazon, and more information is at democrazy2020.org.
The implications of Graham's analysis are significant for readers and the world. If her claims are accurate, the United States is being systematically weakened by a leader beholden to a foreign adversary, threatening global stability and democratic institutions. The closure of USAID and the predicted deaths in Africa highlight the humanitarian cost. Graham's call to action is for Americans to recognize the danger and pass these facts on to others.
