GREG KELLY’S “JUSTICE FOR ALL”—A BOOK REVIEW BY STEPHEN L. D’ANDRILLI

Everybody who’s anybody has a new book out these days and is promoting sales. This book adds to the lengthy list.

But Greg Kelly’s book “Justice For All” stands out among the others as a must buy, must read because it is based on a unique perspective.

To understand Greg Kelly it is first important to know something about his father, Raymond  Kelly, to whom he dedicated his book.

In the “Acknowledgments,” Greg states, “The Impetus For Writing This Book is to honor my father, Raymond Kelly, the longest-serving and most highly regarded police commissioner in New York history.”

Greg points out that his father served as the “Top Cop” under two Mayors, David Dinkins and Michael Bloomberg.

There is no doubt the author of “Justice For All” is emulating his father who was an inspiration for him and whose life and career stand as an inspiration for all patriotic Americans.

Greg says “. . . though I took a career path different from [my father], I absorbed his core values. After I finished high school, while preparing to enter Fordham University in the Bronx, I signed up for Marine Officer Candidates School. My father and his brothers were all Marines. When I asked by father why he had joined the Marines, he told me, “I wanted to be with the best.’ That sounded like a reasonable goal and one that I wanted to follow, too.”  

The Marines served Greg well, and he in turn has served his Country well.

Greg Kelly, like his father, has had a distinguished military record. Greg was an aviator. He served as a U.S. Marine Lieutenant Colonel fighter pilot and he is a decorated combat veteran. He is obviously highly motivated, and that motivation and success continued after his military career.

See The Greg Kelly Podcast, “About Greg.”

Greg became a leading broadcast journalist and political reporter at NY1 covering 911, at “Ground Zero,” the WTC.

Thereafter, working for FOX News as a reporter, he was the first reporter to broadcast live images of U.S. forces reaching Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace in Baghdad. See, e.g., the article in “TV Spy.”

He hosted “Good Day New York” for almost ten years, and he is presently the anchor of “Gregg Kelly Reports” on Newsmax, the host of “The Kelly Show” on WABC, and “The Greg Kelly Podcast.”

Given his father’s fame and stature as Police Commissioner, and given his own notability as a conservative commentator, Greg was on the radar of the Mainstream Media (“MSM”) Press that sought to discredit him. And it found an opening when Greg Kelly was accused of rape.

The story was blown up out of all proportion to the facts, but it garnered national headlines, as it was designed to do. Kelly weathered the storm. The Press could not bring him down.

Perhaps because of the personal vicious attack on him by the Press and, realizing both the nature of its power and whom it is that power is directed to—the American people, rather than the treacherous Government—Greg Kelly is acutely sensitive to the manipulativeness and duplicity of evil forces within our Country. And those forces, unfortunately, include the Press.

Although Greg dedicated his book, “Justice For All,” to his father, as I have pointed out at the outset, and, although he discusses his father’s background at some length in the “Introduction,” he did not intend for this book to be a biography about his father. It isn’t, nor is this book to be considered an autobiography. It isn’t that, either.

Rather, Greg writes this book as a warning to the American people. He makes clear that our Country is under attack. But unlike the war that his father fought as a Marine in Vietnam and unlike the reporting of the aftermath of the Gulf War in the Middle East that Greg covered as a journalist, a present war for the survival of our Country is underway right here at home. And the American people must wake up to that fact.

“Justice For All” serves as a profound “wake-up” call for the American people. And that, the reader may reasonably infer, is the salient reason for this book.

As a news reporter, the author is well-attuned to current events and his training and acumen both as a past combat aviator and working today as a news reporter, he is acutely observant of events around him, and he is profoundly concerned by what he sees.

America is under dire threat of destruction from within. The reader comes away with a clear understanding and appreciation of this threat, as Greg explains its nature and the extent of it in excruciating detail.

The reader comes to see that the title of the book, “Justice For All,” was not chosen casually.

The title, taken at face value, expresses “hope,” but, after reading the book, I realize the title conveys sarcasm, too, because there is massive injustice in America.

The Framers of our Constitution expected the Press to be the Guardian of our Republic.

They would be appalled to learn that this Press is now working, not on behalf of the Republic and the people, but on behalf of a treacherous Government which, under the present Biden Administration, is actively, avidly plotting against the people whose interests it claims, falsely, to serve, and is deliberately undermining the safety and security of our free Constitutional Republic—a brazen betrayal of the oath those serving in the Administration had taken.

The American people find themselves disconcertingly but incontrovertibly at war with their own treacherous Government—a Government in league with our mortal enemies.

An International Marxist Socialist Counterrevolution to the American Revolution of 1776 is underway.

The Biden Administration, many members of Congress, and a seditious Press are intricately and inextricably tied to it.

This present war is not being fought with firearms and cannons. At least not yet.

Hopefully, a “hot” war at home fought by American Patriots against those evil forces, both foreign and domestic, that desire and intend to destroy our National history and heritage, our core values and Christian ethos, our Nation’s Constitution, and our fundamental, unalienable rights and liberties—all that makes us Americans and that define what it means to be “An American”—can and will be avoided. Yet, that remains to be seen.

Greg doesn’t venture into an exploration of this area.

But I see the ominous portents and there is every indication our Nation stands on the brink of irreparable ruin.

Powerful, well-organized, and funded Radical Progressive Left-Wing forces have mobilized in recent years, at a markedly rapid pace, to destroy America as we know it.

Their aim is to divide and demoralize the American people and destabilize society.

In effectuating that, they seek to replace a free Constitutional Republic with a Socialist/Marxist Collectivist State through which the acolytes of Marxism ruthlessly subjugate the citizenry, reduce them to penury, and exercise control over their every thought and action.

With a sure journalistic purpose and expertise, “Justice For All” explains the “why” and the “how” of this Radical Left takeover of our Nation.

This Government, under the control of the Biden Administration, has obtained assistance from a seditious Press, from Marxists in academia, and from powerful and wealthy foreign and domestic business and financial interests.

Many average Americans have fallen prey to a deluge of propaganda infecting their mind, extolling the purported virtues of residing in a Marxist State.

“Justice For All” cuts through this propaganda and opens up, for the reader to see, the rot that is destroying our Nation from the inside out. The reader cannot help but be left despondent. But Greg doesn’t wish that and doesn’t leave the reader in a state of abject despair.

As the adage goes, forewarned is forearmed. Greg has warned us Americans, but how does he intend to “arm” us, to contend with this obstructive, destructive “Radical Left” if we are not yet to proceed to our firearms?

He explains toward the end of his book.

In his “Conclusion,” Greg says there is much Americans can do to take back their Country. But to do that Americans must first avoid attempts at intimidation from the “Left” through the propaganda leveled against Americans about “race.”

Greg provides Americans with mechanisms to repel the “Left.” He mentions the benefits of old letter writing for one. He writes,

“. . . this probably sounds corny, but it’s a good idea to write letters to politicians and other people in charge if you have complaints. Phone calls don’t mean anything. Emails are deleted on receipt. Internet comments are radio static. But letters, especially if they are handwritten. They get noticed.”

He also says that “it’s important for us to organize, . . . The Left is composed largely of losers who don’t have anything better to do than get together and complain. Conservatives have jobs, families, and churches to attend to. We prefer to spend our free time doing something fun or useful. . . .”

Greg is also not averse to using metaphors to get his point across.

He says,

We are past the point where the crazies and losers are tossing pebbles at our car. They have broken the windshield, deflated the tires, and are trying to rip out the distributor cap.

We have to act fast. Voting is fine, but we can’t assume that voting will save us. We need to gather as like-minded citizens who care enough about the future of our country to oppose the rabid Left, which is set on shredding everything we cherish about our beautiful country. The storm clouds are gathering, and the hour grows late.

So, then, like the Founders of our Republic when forced to either confront or capitulate to a mighty Tyrant, we Americans at the present time, must choose as well. We can’t sit on the sidelines. There is no “fence” to straddle. All Americans must take a stand. We can still preserve our freedoms and liberty.

It is definitely disturbing and not a little ironic that dangerous enemies, including the Biden Administration and a “Free” Press, lurk, some of them seen and some of them unseen, among us.

Americans must remain ever vigilant and wary. The “Rabid Left” can’t count us American Patriots out, just yet. There is still Hope. And where there is Hope, there is a Way forward.
