Danger Close: Domestic Extremist #1 Comes Clean

I have been curious about where Patrick Byrne fits into everything going on in our government after hearing him speak out on what happened after everyone went to sleep on November 4, 2020. This book cuts to the chase by giving the reader a concise introduction to Byrne from his childhood into adulthood and how the Obama administration started engaging him as an asset in international affairs. It also exposes the corruption in the government and gives details not shared before. Really enjoyed this book, it is a quick and easy read with photos to connect the reader to the subject. Flynn also gives a good, sound endorsement of Byrne. Definitely a page turner, and would recommend to anyone.

Author Patrick Byrne is highly regarded for his entrepreneurial prowess, his advancing bitcoin to Overstock, and his legendary battle against Wall Street manipulators preceding the 2008 financial crisis. In this incendiary book he reveals his consummate skills as an author, bringing his ‘other life’ as a national intelligence asset to the stage for captivating a broad audience.Providing his impressive history of childhood influences and education and growth becoming a multilingual global traveller the book opens with a preface by his close friend Maria Butina, a Russian scholar and important player in Byrne’s later life. She adds photographs from his colorful past that underscore the credibility of the memoir that follows. Byrne then adroitly shares his fascinating experiences by using the ‘interview’ dynamic of writing, making the controversial subject matter of this book more immediate and accessible.Byrne’s ‘second life’ became one of involvement with the intricacies of the US government as a ‘libertarian republican’ – a national intelligence asset who ultimately exposed the ‘systematic corruption infiltrating our nation’s government, the Russian Collusion Delusion, and the Senate Judiciary assignment to infiltrate and disrupt the Deep State.’ The permutations of these and other paths include the Hillary Clinton bribery and blackmail hoax, the 2016 presidential race and the 2020 presidential drama, and many of the names – Bannon, Cruz, Rubio, Trump, etc. – that bring this book into the forefront of attention at this time in our election year playbill!Yes, the subterfuge and secretive aspects of the various bodies of government are extensively explored, but in addition to the ‘immediacy’ of the memoir content, Byrne places before the reader some excellent topics to examine: e.g., ‘A Bezmenov Psyop is a way of taking over a country without firing a shot. It comes in four stages: Demoralization, Disorientation, Crisis, and Normalization. The idea is to demoralize the target nation’s population to weaken them, then get them so disoriented the world seems psychotic to them, then force a crisis down their throats…For us Demoralization (Covid-19), Disorientation (Antifa/BLM), Crisis (election 2020), Normalization (Cancel Culture).’ No matter the reader’s political orientation, this book provides exceptionally interesting insights as to government function/dysfunction – from a brilliant man and author.

This is easy to read , it’s not too long and it gives you more insight into the game of politics and the wolves who seemingly run the country, evil has no boundaries and this guy was up close and personal with HC one of the worst players ever in my opinion.. worth reading

Well here is a dose of truth for you! Great insight as to what is really happening in our world! Great read and informative!

Short read. Many questions answered. I knew something was not adding up re: this election. However, this is poorly written. Information repeated. I had to reread often to understand sentences or paragraphs. No flow. For me, it would have been better written in the first person rather than as an interview.

I read this book back in the Spring 2024 during travels! It is full of truth and scary regarding what goes on in Washington DC! Excellent read! Thank you Patrick Byrne for writing this book!

Danger First by Patrick Byrne is a wonderful memoir of the man with nine lives. While the book is not written fictionally and is a standard biographical narrative, the reader will soon forget it. The events are unbelievable and they continually occur to and because of Byrne. It was delightful to see photographs linked to the story to visually follow the evolution of Byrne’s life. His timeline, including dates and places, are overwhelming and further proves his intricate connection and authenticity to these real life circumstances. I especially loved the news headlines that were shared. It speaks so much to the private life of Byrne alongside the public image and conception of reality. Born with an entrepreneurial mind, Byrne shares his early success in the small business world, which soon would become astronomically larger with the evolution of the internet and online business. I was fascinated by Byrne’s balance of academia, business and international affairs. While some of these areas are blended by others, Byrne seems to aggressively conquer each area seeking a capstone of success. He has yet to fail.The flow of the story is seamless, easy to follow and shows unlimited creativity. The “conversation on paper” with Byrne at the end, asks very necessary and interesting questions that will satisfy the reader’s longing for more. His openness about the American Government's covert deceptions/distractions are particularly revealing and disturbing. Overall, an incredible read. Enthralling, catchy and dangerous, the story will hold you at the edge of your seat.
