American Leviathan: The Birth of the Administrative State and Progressive Authoritarianism

by Ned Ryun

Overview

"Ned Ryun reveals the History of the Deep State, which has seized unConstitutional control over our Nation, and unleashed Death and Destruction on the World. This is not what our Founders’ intended."

—Donald Trump, president of the United States 

"...a much needed and timely eleventh-hour clarion call for citizens to wake up and rebirth the republic as the Founders intended."

—Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University

American Leviathan is the story of the rise of Progressive Statism and their massive, bureaucratic Administrative State at the turn of the 20th century and how we got to where we are today in the 21st century with governmental abuse by a class of so-called experts. 

Because of Progressives' quiet regime change over the last century and their replacing the Constitutional Republic with that Administrative State, our government today has very little to do with what the Founders' envisioned. So the question for us today is will we restore the American Republic and actually have a government of, by and for the people? 

American Leviathan details how an empowered Executive in the White House can actually devolve and break apart the Administrative State that is the leviathan crushing the freedoms of the American people.

Editorial Reviews

The Israel Test spoke to me with unexpected power. Apart from being brilliantly, fiercely written, its merit lies in clarifying, in a totally new, secular, and intuitive way, why Israel matters.
—David Klinghoffer

The Jerusalem Post

"American Leviathan in an insightful if not chilling historical analysis of how insidiously for over a century progressives have hijacked the power of our elected officials and transferred control over our lives to millions of the unelected in the administrative state. His well-written and engaging account serves as a much needed and timely eleventh-hour clarion call for citizens to wake up and rebirth the republic as the Founders intended."

—Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University

"While the left has spent years screaming about protecting “democracy,” their real goal is dismantling the constitution so that we are governed by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in the federal government. Ned Ryun’s compelling and terrifying American Leviathan pulls the curtain back and exposes all the ways authoritarian radicals in the administrative state are impossible to fire and divorced from political accountability, but still wield awesome power to write rules and regulations that are ruining your life and livelihood. Ultimately, the greatest threat to our freedoms and way of life isn’t China, isn’t Russia. It’s America’s bureaucratic Leviathan crushing the life out of the American people."

—Mollie Hemingway, Editor-in-Chief, The Federalist

"The cancerous Administrative State is eating us alive. Unaccountable bureaucrats, insulated from the impact of their own tyranny, are destroying our Republic. American Leviathan details the rise of the Administrative State and how it can be deconstructed. But that deconstruction will only happen if we understand what is happening and demand a return to a Constitutional Republic."

—Dan Bongino, Host of the Dan Bongino Show

"The American people need to understand that we are operating under an administrative state form of government cloaked with an illusion of a republic. To understand how we got here, and how we return to a constitutional republic, you need to read American Leviathan."

—Jesse Kelly, host of The Jesse Kelly Show

"Ned Ryun’s American Leviathan identifies the threat—the metastasizing administrative state that is killing America and the American Dream. Insightful and inspiring, American Leviathan sets out the terms of battle and lays out a plan to recover our country from the faceless, mindless pinko bureaucrats who have presumed to take it over. Every American citizen needs to read Ned Ryun’s American Leviathan."

—Kurt Schlichter, Senior columnist for Townhall.com

"Whether you call it ‘The Deep State’ or ‘The Permanent Political Class’ or ‘The Out-Of-Control Bureaucracy’, it’s become very clear that ‘THEY’ control our government, ‘THEY’ act as an internal resistance to any reform-minded, duly-elected official and ‘THEY’ will do whatever it takes to keep the power ‘THEY’ have amassed. In American Leviathan Ned Ryun brilliantly exposes who they are, where they came from, howthey amassed treated power and subversive plans under Barack Obama, and, most importantly, how to remove them from their unconstitutional positions of power. American Leviathan is a must-read for any politician in Washington DC who takes seriously their oath to ‘protect and defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.’"

—Larry O’Connor, nationally known radio host WMAL and Townhall Media

"American Leviathan makes it powerfully clear that it’s time for the American people to decide whether we will be obedient serfs in the feudal administrative state, or whether we will choose to reclaim our rights as freeborn Americans and live in a self-governing republic. Ned Ryun charts the course with this fantastic book."

—Pete Hegseth, Co-Host of FOX & Friends Weekend and author of The War on Warriors

"There are two competing governments in America today: the remnants of the original Constitutional Republic and a permanent, unaccountable Administrative State. Donald J. Trump revealed the existence of the latter and made it clear that the two systems cannot co-exist. One system must do away with the other. The question is this: Will the American people finally surrender to the anti-American permanent bureaucracy or reclaim their rights in full as free-born people?"

—Sebastian Gorka PhD, Host of AMERICA First and former strategist to President Trump
