Thread: Bracken: Switzerland, America and New Zealand – The Kiwi is Low-Hanging Fruit

Where does the author come up with this stuff?

Liechtenstein doesn't have an army.

PLAN (Chinese navy) has 1 x conventionally powered operational aircraft carrier that they bought, half-complete from India, who in turn bought it from Ukraine (IIRC) and no experience in carrier-based force projection and virtually no experience in fixed wing carrier operations.

The USN has 10 x nuclear powered aircraft carriers and another 2 (I think) under construction, each is much bigger and carry far more aircraft than their Chinese counterpart. Not to mention that the USN has close to 100 years of experience in carrier operations. Hmmm, I know who I'd pick to prevail if it became a shooting war.

NZ army has light infantry and fast armoured vehicles of its own, not to mention that it's manned by professional soldiers - not conscripts.

He is hardcore

Matthew Bracken is a patriot from the Free Republic forums and former Navy SEAL who has written several self published novels.
Enemies Foreign and Domestic
Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista
Foreign Enemies and Traitors
Bracken's novels are part of a recent glut of self-published apocalypse fiction incorporating libertarian, populist, survivalist, xenophobic and ultra-conservative themes and rhetoric. Bracken is strictly a conservative, although due to the genre he is writing in his books are unfortunately read by the same people who eagerly devour the obscure novels by John Ross, Neo Andersen, Boston T. Party, David Crawford and James Wesley Rawles. The typical reader of this sort of fiction is someone with libertarian leanings who doesn't entirely "get" libertarianism (especially its non-violent aspects, its liberal positions on social issues, and its wonky roots in Austrian economic theory), and conflates it on several points with militarism, nationalism and nativism.
In short, Mr. Bracken can be called the lobotomized racist's attempt to mimic Tom Clancy. He knows his audience and knows how to push all their patriotic, flag waving, paranoid, anti-Mexican, anti-Muslim, nationalist, violence-fetishist buttons. A key piece of evidence is in those dumb book titles. "Enemies", "foreign" and "traitors" are spat out as epithets and the order simply rearranged for each new book.
On the positive side, at least Bracken's novels give these people something to read other than The Turner Diaries, and giving someone one less reason to read The Turner Diaries is probably doing society a favor, however small.



Of course a commie wrote this biography

1R? professional ? cough,cough,choke! - 2/1 is our only hope, anyhow...... China WILL turn NZ into a Chinese satellite farm without firing a shot, they will use MMP against us, at some point the Chinese in NZ, will have their vote organised by the Chinese govt to get the necessary influence in parliament, to open the immigration laws a little more, then use increased numbers to gain a little more influence to open the immigration door a little more, by playing the long game, they will eventually BECOME the bloody government here, without firing a shot, all nice and legal - Currently the Chinese population outnumbers the maori and pacific islander numbers combined in Auckland, you think the Chinese govt DOESN'T think about that stuff as they buy their way into the pacific and Africa as we speak?
