Proof of Conspiracy

How Trump's International Collusion Is Threatening American Democracy

By: Seth Abramson

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

Instant New York Times best seller

"A richly documented indictment of power and corruption." (Kirkus Reviews)

Through diligent research, Seth Abramson exposes a story that US media has largely missed: a pre-election geopolitical conspiracy involving Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Russia that sought to put Trump in the White House - and succeeded.

In late 2015, convicted pedophile, international dealmaker, and cooperating witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation George Nader convened a secret meeting aboard a massive luxury yacht in the Red Sea. Nader pitched Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and other Middle Eastern leaders a plan for a new pro-US, pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would fundamentally alter the geopolitics of the Middle East while marginalizing Iran, Qatar, and Turkey. To succeed, the plan would need a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions on Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his support for Iran. They agreed the perfect American partner was Donald Trump, who had benefited immensely from his Saudi, Emirati, and Russian dealings for many years, and who, in 2015, became the only US presidential candidate to argue for a unilateral end to Russian sanctions and a far more hostile approach to Iran.

So begins New York Times best-selling author Seth Abramson’s explosive new audiobook, Proof of Conspiracy: How Trump's International Collusion Threatens American Democracy, a story of international intrigue whose massive cast of characters includes Israeli intelligence operatives, Russian oligarchs, Saudi death squads, American mercenary companies, Trump’s innermost circle, and several members of the Trump family as well as Trump himself - all part of a clandestine multinational narrative that takes us from Washington, DC, and Moscow to the Middle Eastern capitals of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jerusalem, Cairo, Tehran, and Doha. Proof of Conspiracy is a chilling and unforgettable depiction of the dangers America and the world now face.

A Grand Bargain

Proof of Conspiracy details recent developments in geopolitics, specifically as they relate to the United States, a Trump presidency, and a multinational plot referred to as the Red Sea Conspiracy (a.k.a. the Grand Bargain).

Abramson relies heavily on journalistic endeavors of other media outlets to inform his writings. For the most part, his claims are well sourced and usually corroborated, and he does a fine job indicating when he delves into speculation. I do wish there were less speculation considering the nature of the text, but at least it isn't presented as fact.

The audiobook provides annotations for each chapter at the end of the chapter. Perhaps it would be useful to give listeners the option to listen to annotations/footnotes as they arise...

Anyway, if you seek a thorough understanding of Trump's absurd and frequently criminal behavior, this book has a lot to offer!

A chilling account

Seth Abramson provides an absolutely chilling and horrifying narrative of the corruption, grift, and out and out — if we were at war — treasonous conduct that led to the election of Donald Trump.

Very important book about the soul of America

This book lays out and puts together the many pieces of the how we came to where we are today. Its competent way of doing that is super impressive and I have the utmost respect for the author and his steadfastness.

Crystal Ball?

Loved it and love it! After completing it, I was woke. I've been using it daily as a reference during the impeachment hearings to help connect dots, try and get to the truth so I can arrive at my own conclusions. priceless. wish I had picked up the hard copy.

Remarkable reporting

Stellar documentation of Trump associations, and the deals and dealings of Trump and his associates with bad actors around the globe. PROOF convinces that Trump and cohorts are nauseatingly and rabidly un-American, and even anti-American, if there's a buck in it for them.

“I Once Was Blind,” etc.

This work of investigative journalism is truly remarkable. It is impossible to put Trump’s conduct and the surrounding circumstances in context without a resource like this. This is an an adventure in thorough research that may provide more detail than you can absorb, but if you would like to understand exactly what we are facing as US citizens today, this is mandatory reading. You simply must read it.

Awesome book. Must read if you care about America

If you care about America and the World please read this book. This probably contains at least a dozen things about the trump mess that you didn't know simply because their is so much to this story.
