Jerome R. Corsi is a staff writer for WorldNetDaily. In January 2007, Corsi
announced he was joining the staff of TheVanguard.Org, the conservative
website. Co-author, with John O'Neill, of the No. 1 New York Times
best-seller, Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against
John Kerry. Corsi's most recent book was authored with Michael Evans:
Showdown with Nuclear Iran. Dr. Corsi's other recent books include
Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil,
which he co-authored with WND columnist Craig. R. Smith, and Atomic Iran.
Corsi received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University in 1972,
and has since published several works on political protest and terrorism.
His 1972 dissertation was titled Prior Restraint, Prior Punishment, and
Political Dissent; a Moral and Legal Evaluation. In 1972, he published an
extensive study of the political protest around the 1972 Democratic and
Republican National Conventions in Miami Beach, and the involvement of the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War (an organization that Kerry was involved
with). That work was published at the Lemberg Center for the Study of
Violence (Brandeis University, 1974). Corsi authored Atomic Iran: How the
Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians (2005) and
co-authored Black Gold Stranglehold (2005) with Craig R. Smith. In 2006, he
also co-authored Showdown with Nuclear Iran: Radical Islam's Messianic
Mission to Destroy Israel and Cripple the United States with Michael D.
Evans.
Corsi has also co-authored Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's
Borders (with Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist), published in August
2006. This book heavily criticizes President George W. Bush for deficiency
in enforcing border protection laws and for furthering plans to create a
North American Union.
In January 2005, Corsi told the Boston Herald that he planned to bid for
Kerry's Senate seat in Massachusetts in 2008. He stated that he would run as
a Republican or Independent.
In May 2006, Corsi co-wrote the book Rebuilding America with Kenneth
Blackwell, then Ohio secretary of state and a Republican candidate for Ohio
governor. In the fall of 2006, Corsi used his column at the conservative
news website WorldNetDaily (whose publishing division, WND Books, also
published Rebuilding America, as well as Atomic Iran and Black Gold
Stranglehold) to write numerous columns attacking Blackwell's Democratic
opponent in the governor's race, Ted Strickland. Strickland easily won the
election, receiving 60 percent of the vote to Blackwell's 37 percent. |
