SALISBURY — This insightful expose of Russia’s clandestine efforts to undermine American and Western democracy should be a dramatic wake-up call for anyone regardless of political ideology.

Malcolm Nance is a globally recognized international intelligence and counter-terrorism expert who has used his highest-level security clearance to research critical documents and conduct countless interviews that reveal Russia’s shocking master plan to upend democracy and re-engineer the political order that has kept most of the world free since World War II. Learn how Vladimir Putin and his spy agencies use cyber and psychological warfare, political propaganda, traditional and social media, blackmail, espionage, the Internet — even assassination — to manipulate our perception of reality and woo unsuspecting citizens to his side.

Nance spent two decades in the U.S. Navy specializing in Naval Cryptology, has authored numerous books, advises the U.S. and international governments on special operations and homeland security, lectures widely, and regularly appears on multiple media outlets. He resides in upstate New York and was married to the late Maryse Beliveau-Nance.

The event will take place at the Country Club of Salisbury with cocktails at 6:30, dinner at 7, and the program at 8. Cost is $50/pp for ESU members, $70/pp for non-members. Reservation cut-off is Monday, September 16. For more information, contact ESU president Gerry Wood at gerry@oldyorkllc.com or 704-213-6008.
