Dr. Chip Beck is a retired Navy Commander, a career CIA Clandestine Service Officer, and a former State Department Foreign Affairs Officer who directed the prestigious ACOTA peacekeeper training program in Africa from 2005-2010. He served in or witnessed some two dozen wars, revolutions, and civil conflicts on four continents from 1969 through 2013. In addition to his academic credentials in international relations Beck is also an award-winning cartoonist and combat artist. His military, intelligence, and diplomatic assignments, along with a penchant for personal travel, have taken him to 150 countries and territories on six continents.
Veteran intelligence officer and political scientist Beck reveals the historical development and hidden aspects of Mexico’s clandestine foreign policy and its camouflaged operations impacting America in ways that U.S. citizens, politicians, and journalists fail to perceive or understand. While pundits and politicians fume over Russia’s meddling in U.S. elections, they completely miss or ignore Mexico’s 100-years of insidious subversion of America’s democratic processes.
During the Cold War Commander Beck witnessed behind the scenes how diplomats, spies, and policy-makers spin public stories and bend the truth to fit self-serving national fabrications. He learned to discern deceptions when he encountered them and now reveals the subversive methods behind Mexico’s long-term plans to regain political, cultural, economic, and legal influence over what it has considered for 200 years to be its ‘northern territories.’
