McGowan concludes that the wave of
sensationalized serial killings beginning
around 1966 were a domestication of Operation
Phoenix, the U.S. program of mass political
assassination in Vietnam. The goal was to
shock and frighten the public into acceptance
of police state measures in the United States
and to create a climate of right-wing
reaction.

Little Dorrit - Chapter 10
Charles Dickens - Read Print

The Circumlocution Office was (as everybody
knows without being told) the most important
Department under Government. No public
business of any kind could possibly be done
at any time without the acquiescence of the
Circumlocution Office. Its finger was in the
largest public pie, and in the smallest
public tart. It was equally impossible to do
the plainest right and to undo the plainest
wrong without the express authority of the
Circumlocution Office. If another Gunpowder
Plot had been discovered half an hour before
the lighting of the match, nobody would have
been justified in saving the parliament until
there had been half a score of boards, half a
bushel of minutes, several sacks of official
memoranda, and a family-vault full of
ungrammatical correspondence, on the part of
the Circumlocution Office.

Book Review: Charlie Savage's "Takeover"

In Takeover, the journalist takes full
advantage of having a wider canvas and some
intellectual stretching room to connect the
dots of the insistent, constant push the Bush
administration has launched against the two
other branches of government. Savage lays the
groundwork by looking backward first, giving
an overview of the gradually expanding
presidential powers--or executive attempts to
expand the power--and demonstrates that this
is not a partisan issue.

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly
Improbable: Books: Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb first made this
argument in Fooled by Randomness, an engaging
look at the history and reasons for our
predilection for self-deception when it comes
to statistics. Now, in The Black Swan: the
Impact of the Highly Improbable, he focuses
on that most dismal of sciences, predicting
the future. Forecasting is not just at the
heart of Wall Street, but it’s something each
of us does every time we make an insurance
payment or strap on a seat belt.

eBooks - The Sociopath Next Door
by Martha Stout Ph.D. - palm eBook Store

Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4
percent of ordinary people--one in
twenty-five--has an often undetected mental
disorder, the chief symptom of which is that
that person possesses no conscience. He or
she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame,
guilt, or remorse. One in twenty-five
everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a
sociopath.

Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of
the Age of Oil

by Michael C. Ruppert

This is a detective story that gets to the innermost core of the 9/11
attacks. It places 9/11 at the center of a desperate new America,
created by specific, named individuals in preparation for Peak Oil: an
economic crisis like nothing the world has ever seen.

The attacks of September 11th, 2001 were accomplished through an
amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon
discovers and identifies the key suspects and persons of interest -
finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government -
by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks
occurred and produced the desired result.

After two and a half years of research and writing, Ruppert said:

"In my new book I will be making several key points:

    1. I will name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect
    in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was
    he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the
    attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and
    Communications system which was superceding any orders being
    issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation
    Room;

    2. I will establish conclusively that in May of 2001, by
    presidential order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and
    control of all wargame and field exercise training and scheduling
    through several agencies, especially FEMA. This also extended to
    all of the conflicting and overlapping NORAD drills -- some
    involving hijack simulations -- taking place on that day.

    3. I will also demonstrate that the TRIPOD II exercise being set
    up on Sept. 10th in Manhattan was directly connected to Cheney's
    role in the above.

    4. I will also prove conclusively that a number of public
    officials, at the national and New York City levels, including
    then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, were aware that flight 175 was en
    route to lower Manhattan for 20 minutes and did nothing to order
    the evacuation of, or warn the occupants of the South Tower. One
    military officer was forced to leave his post in the middle of the
    attacks and place a private call to his brother - who worked at
    the WTC - warning him to get out. That was because no other part
    of the system was taking action.

    5. I will also show that the Israeli and British governments acted
    as partners with the highest levels of the American government to
    help in the preparation and, very possibly, the actual execution
    of the attacks."

"There is more reason to be afraid of not facing the evidence in this
book than of facing what is in it."

From the Publisher:

"Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has
continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952. A first
novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for
sixteen weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and
established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the
century. The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in
a black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which
he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman
of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood", and retreating amid
violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he
imagines himself to be. The book is a passionate and witty tour de
force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land,
Joyce, and Dostoevsky."

THE GIFT OF FEAR
And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

By Gavin de Becker

In THE GIFT OF FEAR, de Becker draws on his extensive expertise to
explode the myth that most violent acts are random and unpredictable
and shows that they usually have discernible motives and are preceded
by clear warning signs.

Perhaps the most poorly edited yet
well researched book ever
published, but probably not.
Extensive footnotes support nearly
every rumor and quote. Some of the
claims have been discredited since
this was published -- for example,
the rumor that Mohammed Atta was
wanted for a 1986 bus bombing in
Israel. That was somebody else.
However, this book does an
excellent job of tracing the Bush
family fortune and ideals -- ideals
like eugenics, pre-emptive war,
worldwide population reduction and
ethnically-specific germ weapons.
The author does an excellent job of
collecting relevant quotes from
official documents. Famous names
like Alexander Haig are misspelled.
Perhaps that's intentional.
Misspelling names seems to be a
popular expose tactic, and the
government has been known to use it
as well. "Oh, no. That was some
other guy." If you want a long
list of authoritative sources on
Bush family values, this is an
excellent place to start.
The New Pearl Harbor
Disturbing Questions about the
Bush Administration and 9/11
by David Ray Griffin
Foreword by Richard Falk

"It will be painful, and disturbing, to turn the pages of this
thoughtful and meticulously researched book. But turn we must. For we
owe the truth to those who died, and nothing less." -- Colleen Kelly,
sister of Bill Kelly, Jr., who was killed in the North Tower of the
World Trade Center on 9/11, and Co-Founder of September 11th Families
for Peaceful Tomorrows.

From a skeptical vantage-point, but also taking to heart the classic
idea that those who benefit from a crime ought to at least be
investigated, Griffin, an eminent philosopher and theologian, brings
together an account of the national tragedy that is far more logical
than the one we've been asked to believe. Gathering stories from the
mainstream press, reports from other countries, the work of other
researchers, and the contradictory words of members of the Bush
administration themselves, Griffin presents a case that leaves very
little doubt that the attacks of 9/11 need to be further investigated.
