About Stopping Snakes
Planning to vote for a Democrat? A Republican? A third-party candidate? Or are you not planning on voting at all?
If you’re in any of those categories and believe something major is wrong with this country that needs fixing, this book is for you.
For the first time, democracy’s greatest threat, the Anti-Social Politician, is placed under a microscope. These ASPs constitute a small branch of politicians who care not a whit for the well-being of the country or its citizens, yet use the freedoms afforded by our Constitution to get away with all manner of crimes, including murder. They are family-breakers, law-breakers, church-breakers, and country-breakers. They can be either Democrats or Republicans.
Before now, they’ve been hard to identify, but in Stopping Snakes, long-time political activist and observer H.B. Glushakow brings a scientific approach to the problem of detecting them: a simple test that roots them out based on five thousand years’ worth of observations made by some of the world’s greatest thinkers. It can be used by anyone to assess would-be officeholders at all levels of government.
The beauty of this test is that it does not tell you whom to vote for. Instead, it gives you certainty on whom you’d better NOT vote for. Politicians will never be perfect, but by using this test you can ensure that whoever you choose to lead us will do so honorably and not blow up the entire show.
Use The ASP Test in your own voting for certainty on the best path forward, no matter which side of the aisle you sit. Its other primary use is to rally others, whether family, friends, associates, or any segment of the public which has become confused or apathetic by the current toxic political environment.
Praise for Stopping Snakes
“I’m very impressed with this book. It is extremely well researched and argued, and I like the ASP framework. Moreover, the appendices (especially the rogues galleries) are a researcher’s treasure trove. The author doesn’t hide his politics, but at the same time his opinions come across as springing from (well-documented) fact. That makes it all the more readable. . . and credible.”
Adi Ignatius, Editor-in-Chief, Harvard Business Review Group
“I don’t have many Democrat friends. Nothin’ personal, there just aren’t many ‘round where I live. But the ones I do have all seem to agree with me and my buddies that something is seriously broke in this country and needs fixin’. Reading and using this book is a smart move for anyone hankering to move the country forward and, at the same time, keeping his boots clean of all the political mud.”
Randy Musk, hunter and author of MAGA MEN: 74 Million of Us Can’t All Be Wrong
“Throughout history, positive change and progress have always come from individuals who did their homework. Stopping Snakes offers a simple and effective tool that allows you to finish that homework and make you one of the progress-makers.”
M. Simonic President and CEO, TESTING
About H.B. Glushakow
H.B. Glushakow has championed political rights and freedoms ever since being elected the youngest-ever Maryland state chairman of NCCJ Youth. While attending the City College of New York and New York University, Glushakow was active in the civil rights movement, knew Martin Luther King Jr., and he is one of the last surviving organizers from the 1963 March on Washington. He has worked as an investigative reporter for Ramparts magazine and several other periodicals.
In the late 1960s, he established an electrical contracting company in New York City where he came face to face with the corruption and Mob influences rampant in the New York construction industry. It was that experience that formed the basis of his first book on Donald Trump.
For the past 30 years Glushakow worked in the power quality and alternative energy fields. As a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, he has participated in standards development, various power quality projects, and the incorporation of wind energy into metropolitan structures. But he never gave up his interest and action in political and social issues. He created a muckraking website to expose corruption in international standards, which resulted in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) adopting a code of ethics for the first time in its 120-year history; and when he saw Donald Trump at the cusp of winning the Republican nomination in 2015, he wrote a book exposing Trump’s forty years of mob ties.
He has authored a number of other books and technical papers, including a textbook on energy and climate change, Energy Miracles: The Global Warming Backup Plan, published in 2022 by Jenny Stanford Publishing.
