Reddit mentions: The best politics & government books

(pt 2)

>Illegitimate power imposed over another is a key element of authoritarianism.

The only legitimate ruling power is reason (organizing principles). That mandates the application of conscious, salient thought on the problem domain. Modern governments get by using empirical measures of happiness and contentment (products and services and the ability to purchase a home, and other material comforts) but this "industry" of the Old World Order is quickly dying out as the rich get more extreme in their thirst for endless wealth. They will only stop when everyone is destitute enough to respond. The dominant extrovert mind, in its extreme, can't see clearly what it is doing (it has no empathy for the other).

>When primitivist ideologies take root, people are involuntarily divided by characteristics that seem to match some authorities perception of natural order. That’s what makes it a form of primitivism.

It's not government ideology that forces people into rioters, looters, trolls, the homeless, the xenophobic, the racist, the predatory. It's human psychology. There are various points of contention in modern society, but the biggest beast of them all is the finger pressed onto the backs of the poor and the vulnerable and those inable to gain one up over everyone else. It's always the community that suffers when the rich are dominating (as they have consistently throughout the major part of all human history to date).

We need the end of monarchies and their modern corporate analogs; and we need the rise of the educated; the able; the spiritual; those who care and deliver; those with vision and imagination geared towards bettering society in some major, significant way. Everyone else should stand back and let us work. Fixing the world is a sacred task, and it will not be helped by think tanks (corporate forces masquerading somehow as "the good"), GDP, investment strategies, blasé social policies that just skim the surface of what civilization and society actually are when you examine them conceptually, rationally in the mind-space in terms of minds. Scientists in particular are not voyagers of the mind and so it stands to reason that their assessments are always superficial, given that they will only accept empirical, sensory inputs and pass anything else off as "anecdotal evidence" including, we might add, Introverted Intuition (which is also the basis for correctly examining what reality is in itself; i.e. what alien life would necessarily have to agree is the overarching necessary form of reality).

>When primitivist ideologies take root, people are involuntarily divided by characteristics that seem to match some authorities ... The abandonment of science and broader context in forming the fabric of power that substrates society.

This is an ideological foundation, not something to do with the character of individual people. People don't become so influenced by the leading ideology of the day that they ignore science completely because of it. People think according to their cognitive habits (MBTI theory) and the psyche (elucidated by Carl Jung).

>It’s the common element of all flavours of malignant socialism which plagued the 20th century: statism, authoritarianism, fascism, nazism, collectivism, marxism, communism, jingoism, corporatism. All children of primitivism because they are driven by primitive ideological perception of a natural order; superior as they see it.

It's the common thread of human history that the rich have ruled over the poor, the poor being slaves and the rulers the masters. That's a much clearer picture, and the difference is, shall we be surprised, the degree of clear thinking.

Socialism is a concept; you would have to engage in reasoning to clarify something about a concept and its application in our world. You don't bunch things together based on their empirical results; that's a category error. Anyone capable of reasoning could see this.

There is no natural order other than what people allow. People are being conditioned to accept things like advertisements, poor working and living arrangements; all because they think it's necessary. Soon this bubble will pop under the weight of absolute incompetence of the billionaires and hedge fund owners who have the power to make the big decisions (usually these are heartless land grab and loan type deals; products and services only make this more abstract).

What we need is to build heart into capitalism; this would be accomplished by ensuring that enough profits are sent back into communities, invested into education, policing, healthcare, and so on (going by the markers of Quality of Life carefully using the best minds of society). In that is the policy of kindness (rational kindness; rational consideration of human needs). Consider what it would be to wear down the very workers that your corporation relies upon -- by the sawdust in food analogy. Isn't this a form of negative.. capitalism? Yet that's what they are doing, the rulers of the economic activity (styles of economic patterns);- they're hacking away at people by various vectors, and this can be proven intuitively when you look at the various aspects of life and how it is being worsened by capitalism.

>Supremacists don’t require elections to be authentic. They rule through divine entitlement.

The elite used to rule by the "divine right" of kings. This needs to be inverted. People need to speak their minds and be heard, but they must respect the most intelligent and compassionate: the only ones who can redesign society in a safe, rational, fair way. Nobody else cares. We have tried all the other systems at this point other than the rule by the most meritorious, smart, compassionate, expert, educated.

>Socialism is harmful because it’s a form of primitivism;

Socialism isn't capitalism and thus isn't competitive enough to produce actual results. There must be a market and (healthy) competition. There. That was a lot easier and simpler.

>Rummel’s Law: The fewer freedoms people have, the more likely their rulers are to kill them.

I will quote from a book I read recently;-

>“Strain Theory” concerns the discrepancy between an individual’s awareness of society’s accepted goals and his equal awareness that he is deficient in respect of the legitimate means to attain those goals – the resultant strain may pressure the individual into using illegitimate means to get what he wants i.e. he may resort to criminality. When people are subjected to severe strain, something has to give. A person suffering from anomie and alienated from the mainstream is unable to secure the goals society endorses because of the structural limitations to which he is subjected e.g. lack of job, hence lack of money, lack of education and qualifications, lack of any occupational training. If he wants the things others have ...

― Adam Weishaupt, The Illuminati Phalanx

The Soul of Man Under Socialism by Oscar Wilde -- an introduction to libertarian socialism, a foreign topic to most people ("isn't that, like, an oxymoron?") but pretty rewarding and interesting once you get into it.

If you care about current events (and this one is highly important), you can read about what's going on in Rojava, in Northern Syria. To understand the character of what they're doing there and their social revolution you can read Murray Bookchin and Abdullah Ocalan. They've both written a lot but it doesn't take much to understand the gist of their ideas and, more importantly, how they're being applied right now in Rojava. Democratic confederalism is the name of the specific system at work in Rojava.

Books I can recommend that have to do with the above:

A Small Key Can Open A Large Door: Rojava Revolution

Rojava: An Alternative to Imperialism, Nationalism, and Islamism in the Middle East

To Dare Imagining: Rojava Revolution

Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan

Most everything on this list

War and Peace in Kurdistan

Democratic Confederalism

Obviously that's a fairly dense list. You don't have to read all those. But I do suggest you at least look into Rojava and the ideology behind it on a basic level, as in my opinion it's one of the most important developments in the world right now and it's fascinating to see the application of democratic confederalism, autonomous self-organization, ethnic and religious plurality, and women's liberation on such an impressive scale.

On the topic of movies, it just so happens that there are a number of Rojava documentaries which might help you gain a basic understanding of what it's like there. You can find plenty by looking up "Rojava documentary". Here's a good one. This is the most recent, I believe.

Good studies!

​

How sadly disingenuous that Richard Gage continues to lead the gullible into an endless maze to cover up the classified technology that dustified the World Trade Center.

​

CONSIDER THE 9/11 BIBLE

​

https://vgy.me/rdJ9xg.jpg

​

Words from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, in the Gospel of Matthew, were found by a firefighter in March 2002, under the Tully Road, a temporary truck route that covered the last remnants of the south tower. The pages of the Bible in which they were printed had fused to a chunk of steel as the World Trade Center turned to dust in mid-air, to be found only months later.

​

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evildoer. On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go two with him. Give to the person who asks you for something, and do not turn away from the person who wants to borrow something from you.”

​

The fabric of the human mind is flexible, but the strings of credulity can only stretch out so far, and then incredulity settles in. The image above depicts an artifact residing in the 9/11 Museum of an open Bible fused to a hunk of steel wreckage, with some of the steel overlapping the pages after it was softened by a type of directed energy. How could this happen and not have burned the paper yet the result can clearly be seen?

​

The autoignition point of paper has a range of from 440 – 470°F, depending on the type of paper. Steel melts at 2500°F. How then, did this artifact of Bible pages become “fused” with steel, without the paper combusting into a blackened mass of ashes?

​

Revisit that day, and remember all the images of showers of paper floating down through the air and scattering all over the sidewalks and streets, when the towers were destroyed. These papers were intact and surely not burned. What process was at work that could turn steel and concrete towers to dust, and yet not affect paper?

​

A process used in directed energy technology can cause a dissociation and alteration of the molecular structure of metal, to fuse with combustible objects and appear as if the materials melted together, but with no discernible evidence of heat or combustion.

​

So evidently, a technology exists which can accomplish those results, the results seen in the Bible papers fused to the steel. This is not a miracle, other than this technology being able to appear miraculous to most people. Arthur C. Clarke once opined: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Other forces were at work the day of 9/11, other than magic or the hand of the Divine.

​

Very much related to this anomalous artifact in the 9/11 Museum, is another one found in the ruins of an almost forgotten and seldom mentioned building which was immediately destroyed on the morning of 9/11.

​

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox church, just across the street from the south side of the South Tower, or WTC-2. When retrieval of the relics in the church was undertaken in the following days, only a few pieces survived and one find was called a miracle. “The great miracle, was the recovery of an icon of St. Spyridon. The silver around the icon had melted, but the paper icon had not been burnt.”

​

https://vgy.me/toY1uh.jpg

​

This discovery was one of the church’s most holy relics, and it was declared a miracle because the silver onlay applied to a paper icon of St. Spyridon had “dustified”, leaving the paper intact and unscorched. The melting point of silver is 1,763°F.

​

The best collection of evidence making the case for a directed energy technology at work and used as a weapon on 9/11, can be found at the website of Judy Wood, Ph.D - and in her landmark book: ”Where Did The Towers Go?”.

"Reversing the Apocalypse: Hijacking the Democratic Party to Save the World" by Krystal Ball.

> Reversing the Apocalypse is not simple Trump bashing, but a powerful and self-reflective critique of where the Party went wrong and what Progressives can do to turn the tide. Krystal Ball narrates the modern descent of the Democratic Party from the party of workers and New Deal Progressives to the party of Silicon Valley elites and the managerial class. Tragically, this working class abandonment happened right when ordinary Americans needed the most help. But Krystal’s critique is radically action focused-what can we do to reclaim the Democratic Party for workers and start winning elections again.

Seems pretty alright. Ran for Congress in 2010 but lost due to a goofy party photo pseudo-scandal + running in Virginia.

> 5.0 out of 5 stars Such brave insight!, March 27, 2013
>
> After consuming my daily provided intake of orange-dusted snacks and Mountain Dew, I always like going online and reading about the true Amerikkkan society that our brainwashing capitalist media doesn't cover (I'm looking at you Faux News). Mr. Kirk, known by his YouTube pen name TheAmazingAtheist, delivers brave insight on the corrupt state of affairs in the United States and the facade that the Christian Right carry over all of our affairs. His message, as encapsulated within this novel, delivers a brave and euphoric message that has indeed proven controversial to the nation. Only these brave media warriors in the blogosphere can say what really goes down in the Western World; it is only with the help of nonreligious middle class white teenage boys that we can hope to educate the masses on how other demographics are the true causes of our problems. As a whole, I am enlightened by this book; not because of some phony critic's blessing, but because of, T.J Kirk's intelligence.

lulz.

>I mean, aside from being very good friends with Boris Nemtsov, who Putin murdered...

1. Uh huh, so every friend of Boris Nemtsov is a political expert now?
   
   
2. Where is your source for saying Putin murdered Nemtsov? Nemtsov had been prominent in the disastrous 1990s, which saw the birth of the massive corruption for which he now blames Putin, but he had become very marginal. His Republican Party of Russia – the People's Freedom Party - shows no national representatives. One representative in a Regional Parliament and two more in another. Putin had little reason to be bothered by him, whose support was not very significant. You'd think if Putin wants to assassinate someone, he would have chosen a more significant person. Who may have had a larger interest in the killing are Russian right-wingers.
   
   >But fine, here's Schindler and Nichols saying the exact same thing. Or you can read The Snowden Operation, by another long-time intelligence veteran, which makes the same case.
   
   If the sole argument is that Russia has an interest in promoting or leaking stuff to Wikileaks and that makes them "useful idiots" as the author said, no one is doubting that there is a common interest there. But we've yet to see any evidence that it goes beyond that.

>She's also intrigued about the idea of UBI but isn't necessarily 100% sold on it as far as I can tell.

She is, and I think that’s one of the big reasons why she supports Yang. She wrote a book supporting the need for UBI before Yang’s book was released. She was also asked by Yang to review his book before publishing. Krystal is all about helping the white working class, who are often overlooked and left behind. She brought him on her show when she was with MSNBC and Yang worked at VFA, since he was helping create jobs in these disenfranchised areas that she’s concerned about. So she already had an affinity for him, wanting him to succeed, especially as an outside underdog. They both have the same interests in mind.

Krystal has a personal soft spot for Bernie, though, that she and many others can’t let go. She was really invested in 2016, even going on a campaign tour with him. There’s a reason why she didn’t pick a side with the UBI vs FJG discussion, even though she wrote a book explaining the need for UBI. 😉

I don't understand how the author here can be aware of who FIRE is but not think political correctness on campus is a huge problem. Setting aside student-on-student or person-on-person criticisms the vast majority of U.S. colleges have policies that substantially restrict protected speech by students (which is unconstitutional, if a public university, or generally a contractual violation, if a private one).

Getting my data from FIRE's Spotlight on Speech Codes 2016, methodology can be found in the link and there's a full pdf available on FIRE's website.

49.3% of surveyed institutions have policies that unambiguously infringe on students 1st amendment right to free speech, another 44.1% have policies that could be interpreted to suppress protected speech or clearly suppress narrow areas of protected speech, 5% of universities have policies that don't restrict protected speech, 1.6% of universities make no promise of free speech and are not legally obliged to provide it. These numbers are, fortunately, improving but universities stated speech codes are just the tip of the iceberg.

For anyone interested in this stuff Greg Lukianoff's Unlearning Liberty is required reading.

I'm 21. I'm not sure what my favorite is, and there's a bunch of books that I haven't finished that I've enjoyed reading quite a bit.

I really enjoyed Unlearning Liberty by FIRE President Greg Lukianoff when I read it about 18 months ago.

I also really enjoyed David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, which basically inspired the show The Wire. It's pretty high on the list, maybe my favorite book that I've read so far.

I've been reading Adam Smith's book The Theory of Moral Sentiments since I heard a podcast interview with Russ Roberts, who wrote a book that's essentially about making Smith's ideas in the book more accessible to a modern audience. Smith's book is pretty tough to read because it's not very well organized and it was written in 1759, with a revised version published in 1790. I have found it a very interesting read so far.

Sister_Lauren, as I've told you before, you are the only other one here who admits to agreeing with me.

And it's actually quite strange, because I don't have a vested interest in the nuke hypothesis and thus it makes no difference to me whether people agree with it or they don't.

The problem, I suppose, is I don't support the thermite/nanothermite theory or Judy Wood's DEW theory, although I don't think anyone here supports that. If they do I've certainly not heard it mentioned. Btw, except for her DEW theory, I think Wood's book is excellent, by far the best written description of the demolition of the towers there is, and I would strongly recommend that everyone reads it.

>What is presented in this book is not a theory and it is not speculation. It is evidence. It is the body of empirical evidence that must be explained in order to determine what happened at Ground Zero.

To know what I'm talking about, just read some of the reviews.

This is an excellent overview, thanks. For those interested in the serious study of this subject, Olson's Fair Play and To Catch a Spy rank among the best books on intelligence I have ever read. The notes and bibliographies alone are worth the price.

He wants to renogiate trade policies and increase protectionism. All good ideas:

He favours America first. Which is in effect disengaging from a unipolar American led world and accepting a multi-polar world. What function does NATO serve aside from trying to force Russia into accepting US hegemony?

He never mentioned small government at his convention speech.

> If someone is trying to learn IT or coding, why do they need to take history classes and biology classes and chemistry classes? They don't want or need them and yet they have to take them to qualify for aid. Most people that go to college these days go to obtain skills for a job, not for a well rounded education or to become an professor or educator.

I think this is somewhat anecdotal - they might not "want" to take these courses, but I would argue that the "need" is there. There are significant benefits to a well-rounded education. Skills-based education (IT, Engineering) doesn't really get into learning how to think, in the general sense, which is probably going to be significantly more important as technology becomes obsolete more and more quickly, or as jobs disappear due to things like increased automation.

I'm not arguing that liberal arts should be mandated - some people are autodidacts enough that this sort of learning how to learn would be unnecessary - they will do it on their own. But Fareed Zakaria wrote a book defending the liberal arts education, because there is currently a tendency to devalue things like an English or History degree over a STEM/Business degree, because those taught tangible "skills," instead of wishy-washy liberal arts intangibles.

As for financial aid - I'm split. I found tremendous value in my own liberal arts education, but if someone just wants to learn the core necessities for their career goal and get out, I think that's fine too.

Always the best example. That thing has been around since the 30's and is still used on a lot of military vehicles.

A runner up is the B52, which has been around since the early 50's and is expected to continue until 2040. On that note, it seems like there's a possibility that the A10 will end up like that as well, because even though there's always talk about it getting canceled (even Rumsfeld talked about ending it IIRC) it keeps getting sent into combat. Side note: while the book The Pentagon Wars is predominantly about the Bradley IFV, it does have some great bits early on about the development of the A10.

Other have mentioned basic rifles, and yeah, that's a good one too - we've been improving the M16 since Vietnam, with the M4 being the current incremental evolution, though it's interesting to see the technology you can put on the rifle (targeting lasers, optics, etc).

There's a ton more (U2, C130, etc), so the last one I'll mention here is the SINCGARS radio, which has been around since the 80's and has evolved over time. There were attempts to develop new radios, but they didn't work out.

I read it. It's a short book that disgusts you with every page - these are not the people I want influencing government. I strongly recommend everyone read it - especially National supporters: among other things, it documents an attempt from an extremist right-wing faction to hijack the party and drag it further and further to the extreme.

The media coverage has focussed on juicy "allegations" which do not do the book justice, and give Key single things which he can deny and then make blatantly untrue statements like "Hager's claims are dissolving before his eyes".

I recently read a — slightly sensationalist — book called National Security Cinema: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1548084980/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It details the relationship between producers, directors, and writers, with military Entertainment Liaison Offices, and how military and government aspects of many movie plots were altered in exchange for either specialist military or governmental advice, or funding.

For example, the CIA have only allowed things like the use of their facilities or intelligence in movies if the producers modify aspects of stories or characters to accommodate the wishes of the agency.

I highly recommend his book The Soul Of Liberty. It was the first thing I read back in high school about liberty, anarchism, or anything political actually and really opened my eyes and led me to people like John Stuart Mill, Lysander Spooner, etc. He also writes articles for progress.org that are interesting.

oh geez! thank you! lol...no one ever says that. they usually say "Mind your own business bitch!" but if you'd like to read more about what I've done, I wrote a book about it here. theres a kindle version for a lot less too. but it works as a guide for how to use FOIA too.

Love how thinking the government can put propaganda into media is akin to believing in aliens.

Wow

You don't have a worthless degree. You have a liberal arts degree. Read In Defense of a Liberal Education if you don't know how to articulate the value of that degree. You should take at least a couple of years to experience the working world, and think about what your next best step is. Nothing is more pathetic than a second year law student who is $100,000 in debt and hates all their classes.

If you're interested in exit polling I have a book for you.

https://www.amazon.com/77-Billion-One-Election-Fraud/dp/1539309371

I found it very interesting and it is related to the topic at hand. Have you read it?

Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football and Those Feet: A Sensual History of English Football by David Winner were both very well-written and enjoyable reads.

I personally didn't care very much for Franklin Foer's How Football Explains The World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization, just found it to be a bit glib in its characterization of the game in different parts of the world, and somewhat reductive in its treatment of specific clubs and their supporters.

Also, I haven't read Soccernomics myself, but have heard/read many rave reviews so that's probably a good bet as many ITT have already mentioned it.

Great post.

9) All the way. I have been told that if we the people wanted to fund exit polls, we would need to become a PAC and then set up fundraising, like a kickstarter. Can anyone confirm this? I guess we should bite the bullet and go for it. What should we call our PAC? “NotRussianBots” or “TiredofLivinginaBananaRepublic” or??

>Garry Kasparov is not a very good source, he has virtually no political base except for ancedotes

I mean, aside from being very good friends with Boris Nemtsov, who Putin murdered...

But fine, here's Schindler and Nichols saying the exact same thing. Or you can read The Snowden Operation, by another long-time intelligence veteran, which makes the same case.

You do realize it's based on a factually-accurate book, which it follows closely, right?

https://www.amazon.com/Pentagon-Wars-Reformers-Challenge-Guard/dp/1612516009

Obviously actors are going to play up the comedic effect, but the main plot is pretty accurate.

If you want capital, invest in public education and infrastructure. If you want to scare capital away, threaten tariffs.

I'm actually more sympathetic to protectionist trade and immigration policies than most progressives, but these policies will go no where under a Trump administration. They benefit labor rather than the donor class, so the GOP will oppose them. Maybe in four years Democrat will read Ian Fletcher and espouse a thoughtful, limited protectionism that works, it certainly won't come from the Paul Ryans, Mitch McConnells and Mike Pences of the world.

Yeah, I was just thinking out loud. The heart attack gun was the first thing I thought of when I saw the news and given his background.

NOTE: The book has tons of info and discussion but does have a couple of typos and other syntax problems that suggest it wasn't proofread with the kind of diligence one might hope for but the books is either cheap or free, supports the efforts of those who fight the good fight and you can post a review of the book to offset the 1-star from someone who gave it that rating because they never received the book.

For political correctness on college campuses, FIRE founder Greg Lukanioff wrote a book about it (Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate. Their website mentions University of Pennsylvania's 1993 "water buffalo" incident.

They also interview Donald Downs who says 1987 is noteworthy:

>1987 has been a talked about as sort of a turning point year. It was a year that speech codes started percolating. There was a whole network of administrators around the country and university presidents sort of got on the speech code bandwagon. The climate started changing. You could really feel it. A former student of mine that was in law school at the time said that it was almost like a new weather front coming through that you could feel.

Yeah! He's full of them. He actually wrote a book on the moral implications of spying. It's made all the more interesting due to the fact that he's a devout Catholic.

How much time have you spent researching the unusual nature of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7?

I totally respect your opinion, but if you want an extremely in depth analysis of this theory, I highly recommend this book. You will have to shell out $40, but you can't seriously debunk this theory without first giving it due diligence.

The pictures alone in the book are enough to convince me that some type of unconventional technology was used that day.

As for the writer of this blog, Joseph P. Farrell, he definitely knows what he is talking about, as he has written over a dozen books on off-the-books technologies and physics models that have been largely kept secret for the past 100 years.

It sounds outlandish, but again, you have to give the subject its due diligence before dismissing it completely.

There's no need for a conflict. Religion and God are unnecessary for ethics and natural rights. This book changed my entire world view when I read it as a teen many years ago and I still go back to it. It is a logical representation of why we have rights without the need of the supernatural. Also the author still writes great articles to this day if you Google him.

" We can now show that the relationship between US national security and Hollywood is much deeper and more political than anyone has ever acknowledged. "

lol people have been pointing this out for years

>a few examples of overreactions

Greg Lukianoff wrote an entire book focusing on just campus administrators overreacting. In fact when he gave a talk in the wake of the Yale issue I previously linked, Lukianoff says that the response from the student base was so vicious "you would think she sent an email about burning down an indian village." Which two minutes later resulted in an angry man offended that Lukianoff had suggested he was in favor of burning Indian villages.

I find your use of the word "hyperbolic" interesting, because I'm pretty much just relaying things that have actually happened. It just so happens that these headlines read like something you'd see in The Onion.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because I took issue with your last paragraph that claimed the ridiculous people of tumblr are "strawman" arguments. When in fact there are countless examples of these real-life examples affecting America's Education system, and America's comedy scene. Lifelong professionals have had their careers tarnished by this childishness, and to have you pretend it's not real is bullshit.

The Amazing Athiest is simply preparing for the Neckbeard Uprising.

I haven't read this book yet (it's on my Amazon wishlist), but Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News looks like it covers this very subject.

Not nearly as academic and much more tinfoil hat donning than Klein's work, but Paul Joseph Watson's Order Out of Chaos sounds more along the vein you were mentioning. He's a contributor to Alex Jones, so take it with a grain of salt. But interesting read, nonetheless.

The movie is a comedic retelling, but the facts are legit. Burton - the author of the book the movie's based on - was a bird colonel who spent over a decade in the procurement machine. And the Bradley was eventually beaten into a functional and very feature capable IFV, so in the end, it was worth it.

I enjoyed the book How Soccer Explains the World book for the anecdotes on different teams

I also read that book and I know it refers to 2013 but digging a little deeper reveals more: Greg Lukianoff wrote a book called "Unlearning Liberty," which came out in March 2014 (pre-gamergate, which many others attribute as the shifting point). That book is about many things happening on campus that we're now all aware of — sensitivity training, cultish political correctness and impediments on free speech nationwide. In that book, Lukianoff hangs it on the "Dear Colleague" letter which was sent out in 2011 (and apparently a directive guided by Vice President Joe Biden). After that point, administration staff exploded and began affecting students by 2012/2013.

It's strange to think that one letter may have kicked off this whole thing.

Read an interesting book that came to two conclusions about Snowden. A journalist that writes a lot about East-West espionage wrote a book that basically says either 1) Snowden acted as a spy willingly or 2) Snowden acted as spy unwittingly (to your point).

Interesting'

The tracked transport carrier you're thinking of is most likely the M2 Bradely Infantry Fighting Vehicle, which was put in to service back in 1981. That would make the movie The Pentagon Wars (1998), based on the book by retired Air Force Colonel James G. Burton. The Burton in the movie was portrayed by Cary Elwes (sporting a passable American accent), with Viola Davis, Kelsey Grammer and Richard Schiff as supporting cast. The whole movie is up on YouTube here, though one of the best parts about how the Bradley "evolved" can be seen here.

FYI in spycraft, generally the spies are called “officers”, and the people they recruit (to spy on their behalf) are the “agents”. A “double-agent” would describe an agent that has been re-recruited by the other side. So in the recent case it was a Russian officer who defected. There’s an interesting [book] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1597971537/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jQ.RAbHMWQANE) about this topic.

About the writer, a woman called Megan Fox:

>Megan Fox is a freelance reporter, columnist, and author of two books, Fighting for My Children's Future, a PJ Media compilation about the benefits of homeschooling, and Shut Up! The Bizarre War that One Public Library Waged Against the First Amendment, about the harrowing lengths government bodies will take to silence public criticism.

On a tangential note, I have a friend who's most likely in her forties who says that she was homeschooled from somewhere in elementary till high school graduation. The side effects of such an upbringing, according to her, resulted in underdeveloped and crippled interpersonal skills, which in turn led to a few conflicts with some of her ex-friends.

Also, thanks to her upbringing, she was homophobic before she snapped out of that was of thinking.

I just hope she's doing fine right now. Trump's administration has a way of screwing many people over.

I know Bob Fitrakis, but I don't know all of what TrustVote.org have said, so I'll give a tentative yes to your question.

I just realized I missed something important in your first statement, that it was the Rs that did the rigging for Clinton in the primary. I must apologize. I'm pretty sure (~75% - I've read quite a lot but am not researching again for this post) that Charnin has only said the Ds rigged the D primary, not that the Rs did it.

Your next statement

> But, his theory, that Clinton tried to rig both the primary

Should have been in my first post. Charnin wrote a whole book on the D primary election fraud: 77 Billion to One: 2016 Election Fraud Paperback – October 6, 2016 by Richard Charnin (Author)

I've not checked his site regarding this GE. Charnin has contended that Rs have rigged the GE since 1988, sometimes egregiously. So I'm pretty confident he'll find R rigging this time, but again, don't know what he has said about D attempts to rig the GE.

There's a book that makes the case that Snowden was likely tricked by the Russians into doing it. It's written by an editor of the Economist and is an interesting read, although I can't say I completely agree with some of his conclusions.

To be fair, he is very self-aware... he makes no apologies for being a neckbeard and even wrote a book about it.

Mmmm

The first two pages are so euphoric I nearly threw up. DAE manchild and proud??

> There have been a handful of provocative events canceled for public safety concerns.

That's only if you haven't been paying attention for the last 15 years. The FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) have been proponents of protecting these rights in the face of administrative overreach. Their president; Greg Lukianoff, wrote in a book (Unlearning Liberty) about the increasing levels of censorship coming down from school administrators over the last 10 years. I highly recommend the book if you're interested in the subject:

https://www.amazon.com/Unlearning-Liberty-Campus-Censorship-American/dp/1594037302/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503186611&sr=8-1&keywords=unlearning+liberty

If you don't have time to read to the book, they also post a number of videos on YouTube about some of the cases that they represent:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFIREorg/videos

Greg also does a number of personal speaking engagements with Q&A that detail the broader issue of campus censorship and the specific cases they have handled:

https://youtu.be/Autfo3H6Dss

One of the cases that caught my interest was the case of Keith John Sampson; a student-janitor at IUPUI, who was threatened with a finding of "racial harassment" for reading a book titled "Notre Dame vs. The Klan" on his lunch break merely because the cover of the book showed Klansmen marching against a backdrop of the University of Notre Dame. The book is actually a historical account of an actual fight that took place between the Klan and students at Notre Dame. Even more, the best part of the case is that the book; "Notre Dame vs. the Klan" was available to check out from the IUPUI library. The case was eventually dropped when the FIRE stepped in to help represent Keith John Sampson. IUPUI literally attempted to trample on someone's rights based on the cover of a book.

https://youtu.be/0ZHnB3jyrHI

Edit: I'm not a shill for either the FIRE or Greg Lukianoff. I'm not associated with the organization. I just personally think they're fighting for good causes on college campuses much in the same way the ACLU fights for (most) of our other rights.

Plenty of militaries around the world allow criticism of the inner workings of their procurement strategy. Case in point, the US Army has not been destroyed by the fact that their officers are allowed to write books.

Anyone interested in the waste and nepotism mentioned above should see the movie The Pentagon Wars, or read the book of the same name by retired USAF Colonel James G. Burton.

It's Burton's story of his 14 years stationed at the Pentagon, centred around the development of the Bradley fighting vehicle, whose development required 17 years and $14 billion, not including the purchase of the actual production vehicles.

Burton characterizes the Pentagon's spending of the public's money as a dirty business, one that too often has nothing to do with national defense, one in which secrecy and deception are valuable currencies. "Sadly, I have seen program managers lie to high-level review boards, generals lie to civilians, civilians lie to generals, and both lie to Congress and the American public. Seldom is anyone held accountable. On the contrary, many are rewarded for their behaviour."

Your assumption is that tariffs are always bad for a nation's economy. I highly recommend the book Free Trade Doesn't Work: What Should Replace It and Why by Ian Fletcher.

What do you think of this book and theory?

If you haven't read it yet, I would be extremely interested to know what you make of it.

This theory is frowned upon by alternative media in a similar way as the snowden-as-limited-hangout theory.

I can understand using baby steps to wake up the general population, but how do we wake up those who are already truthseekers, but who may be hesitant to embrace the "wilder" conspiracy theories?

I think there are more common criticisms of the military industrial complex than "they make things used in war". The OP might be thinking more about the history of corruption and the undue influence of the military industrial complex on American politics (at the confluence of money and war). For instance, as detailed in The Pentagon Wars, such as the scandal involving the construction of Bradley tanks, which were more or less deathtraps (fun version). Of course there are people who object to American imperialism more broadly (quite correctly) but they tend to use broader language than "the military industrial complex" which is a more... non-partisan problem.

Students, professors, and administrators have been increasingly accustomed to censorship over the past few decades, with the proliferation of speech codes. Now many students don't even know what their rights are, or they think they have a right not to be offended. I think one of the saddest trends is that more and more students are trying to censor their peers, and these administrators who don't understand the law are acquiescing to those requests for censorship.

FIRE's president, Greg Lukianoff, has more on the history of speech codes here and in his book, Unlearning Liberty.
