" Fool's Gold exposes the dangerous progressive vision that has failed California and now threatens every American."-- PETER SCHWEIZER, author of #1 NY Times bestsellers Blood Money, Red-Handed, and Clinton Cash, "It's too simple to merely write-off the collapse of California as a result of failed left-wing ideology run amok. Prevailing liberal dogmas loom large over this 21st century disaster, to be sure. But, at its root, the California nightmare is the perfect example of how 'absolute power corrupts absolutely.' Susan Crabtree employees her award-winning investigative skills to 'follow the money' and expose the good old fashioned political corruption that one party rule in the formerly Golden State has empowered the rich to the detriment of the hard-working citizens who once saw California as the place to live their American dream. This book also serves as the proverbial canary in the coal mine warning for the other 49 states. Read this book and be forewarned: The same powers exposed here will surely 'California our country' if given the opportunity in Washington DC."-- LARRY O'CONNOR, WMAL radio host

Synopsis
An investigation that shows how the most ambitious figures in the Democratic Party want to transform the rest of America into the progressive dystopia that is California. Take a close look at today's Democratic Party power brokers and you'll quickly realize most of them share one thing in common: California. Residents are fleeing the Golden State in droves. Catastrophic wildfires--fueled by years of corruption and collusion between elected officials and colossal utility companies--continue to devastate communities. The state's homelessness crisis is the worst in the country. Drug-related deaths are skyrocketing. And violent crime and smash-and-grab retail theft is now commonplace. For too many across the state, pursuing the Californian Dream is now a fool's errand. But what people don't know is what's driving these failures, why California's leaders have allowed them to spiral and how this contagion could spread to every other city and town in the United States if it isn't exposed for what it is: failed far-left social experiments. From the investigative research team behind Peter Schweizer's runaway bestsellers comes Fool's Gold, a hard-hitting work of journalism that tells the untold story of the dark side of the Democratic Party's Californian elites and the toll they've taken on the entire country. One of Schweizer's top investigators, Jedd McFatter, has teamed up with award-winning investigative journalist Susan Crabtree to expose the most powerful names in politics: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, among others. Their investigation exposes: * The most powerful and ambitious politicians and family dynasties and their questionable association with convicted criminals and unsavory business partners. * World-class con artists and their schemes to defraud, plunder, and literally poison the people and institutions of America--including the illegal alien drug dealers getting rich and avoiding prison and deportation while killing Americans with fentanyl and other illicit drugs. * Myriad schemes in which officials line their own pockets and sell out to the Chinese government, along with other foreign interests. * You'll see how California's elites retain political power at the national and international scale through secrecy and deception. How did the Golden State become this tarnished? And more importantly, why is California's corrosion continuing? This explosive book warns that Gavin Newsom is actually right when he often declares, "As goes California, so goes the nation." America's future is inextricably tied to California because of its sheer size and the enormous influence of its political figures who remain dead set on controlling the White House for decades to come--and turning the rest of America into California. It's a story the mainstream media would prefer to keep hidden., The Golden State is now a shadow of its former self. Like fool's gold, California life retains a glittery allure but has lost much of its true luster. For too many residents, pursuing the California Dream has now become a fool's errand. How did the once Golden State of dreams and opportunity become a bastion of far-left social experiments that have failed the state and caused residents to leave in droves? It didn't happen overnight but over the course of forty years. This is that story-and a prescient warning to every other community in America. It would be tragic enough if this devastation were contained, but what's happening in California is not staying in California-and, shockingly, that's by design.
