Quotes of the Month "It�s certainly conceivable that I met him or might have been introduced to him." Republican Presidential nominee George W. Bush responding to a reporter's question concerning his relationship to the attempted assassin of the patron saint of American conservatism, President Ronald Reagan "I believe there is enough doubt about this particular crime that the state of Texas should not impose its ultimate penalty by executing him." Republican Presidential nominee George W. Bush explaining why he chose to grant clemency to confessed serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, but not to any of the other 140+ condemned men and women whose cases have come before the governor for review News, Commentary, Analysis, and Wild Speculation In which your intrepid host attempts to pierce the myriad levels of disinformation being orchestrated by the media by wading waist-deep into the muck in search of a few nuggets of truth, or at least a good story to tell.

William Blum, author of Killing Hope and Rogue State "A shocking revelation, a rich treasure of taboo information and criticism about the undemocratic repression, militarism and aggression perpetrated by U.S. elites at home and abroad. Every American should read Derailing Democracy." Michael Parenti, author of America Besieged and History as Mystery "This book goes a long way toward derailing duplicity. David McGowan throws the usual media doublethink into disarray by shining a bright light on inconvenient facts and extreme hypocrisies. If you want to stay within the delusional bubbles provided by U.S. mass media, do not - repeat, DO NOT - read Derailing Democracy." Norman Solomon, author of The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media and winner of the George Orwell Award "Oh yeah! This sometimes surreal armory of facts, figures and quotes is as humorous as it is useful."

Recommended Reading Constructing an accurate representation of American history and of the current political situation is akin to putting together a puzzle in which many of the most important pieces are kept from view. The books listed here will provide various pieces of the puzzle that are left out of most history and political science texts, although many of these works contain varying levels of disinformation and/or misinformation as well. Titles Currently in Print: U.S. History - the essential trilogy: David E. Stannard American Holocaust, Oxford University Press, 1992 Far and away the best pre-Columbian history of the Americas, documenting the almost incomprehensible level of genocide perpetrated on these shores over the last five hundred years Howard Zinn A People's History of the United States, Harper and Row, 1995 [cli ck here to read chapter 1 of Zinn's book - Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress] The definitive populist history of the United States by America's premier historian William Blum Killing Hope, Common Courage Press, 1995 U.S. foreign policy is laid bare in this exhaustively researched and documented accounting of U.S. covert and overt military interventions since WWII U.S. Ties to Nazi Germany: Charles Higham Trading With the Enemy, Delacorte Press, 1983 [click here to read a recent article from The Nation on this subject] Documents the complicity of numerous U.S. corporations in trading with and arming Nazi Germany both before and during World War II, including Standard Oil, AT&T, ITT, Chase Bank, Ford Motors, General Motors, and others [recently reprinted by Barnes & Noble] Christopher Simpson The Splendid Blond Beast, Grove Press, 1993 Relates how international law and international finance have thwarted efforts to prevent acts of genocide and prosecute war criminals from WWI through the present day Martin Lee The Beast Reawakens, Routledge, 2000 Though perhaps inaccurately titled (the beast never actually went to sleep), this book provides a wealth of information on the post-war international fascist infrastructure and its connections to western intelligence services Lenny Lapon Mass Murderers in White Coats, Psychiatric Genocide Research Institute, 1986 Traces the parallels between the psychiatric and eugenics movements in Nazi Germany and the United States The MK-ULTRA Project: [click here to read the best overview of the MK-ULTRA project to ever appear in the mainstream press, a 13 part, 15,000+ word series that appeared in the Napa Valley Sentinel in 1991] John Marks The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, Times Books, 1979 A good start for anyone unfamiliar with the CIA's MK-ULTRA program, though the story told here is nowhere near complete Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985 Provides further details on the CIA's MK-ULTRA projects as well as a look at how the 60's counterculture was co-opted from early on by the acid gurus, all of whom had extensive connections to the CIA David Black Acid: The Secret History of LSD, Vision Paperbacks, 1998 Not particularly well written and with poor production values, this book nevertheless makes a nice supplement to Acid Dreams Other Noteworthy Titles: Maury Terry The Ultimate Evil, Dolphin Doubleday, 1987 A well documented and terrifying account of the Son of Sam and Manson murders, and why they weren't what they appeared to be. Read this in conjunction with Acid Dreams and The Family and try to connect all the dots (recently reprinted by Barnes & Noble] Mark Zepezauer The CIA�s Greatest Hits, Odonian Press, 1994 [click here to read chapter 1, The Gehlen Org, which summarizes some of the U.S. intelligence community ties to Nazi Germany] One of the two best bathroom readers ever published, with clever, concise summaries of some of the CIA's more dubious accomplishments of the last fifty years Alfred W. McCoy The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, Harper and Row, 1972 The definitive work on the global drug trade and the key role played by the Central Intelligence Agency (A newer updated version is currently in print) Out-Of-Print Titles (click here to locate out-of-print titles) U.S. Ties to Nazi Germany: George Seldes Facts and Fascism, In Fact, Inc., 1943 They just don't write them like this anymore; this vitally important work is essential for understanding exactly what fascism is, and what it isn't (all other titles by Seldes are recommended as well) Ladislas Farago Aftermath, Simon & Schuster, 1974 Notable for being the first book to document the role played by the Pope, the Vatican, and various other elements of the Catholic Church in collaborating with Western intelligence services to help Nazi war criminals escape justice, including the infamous Martin Bormann James and Suzanne Pool Who Financed Hitler, Dial Press, 1978 This book answers the question posed by the title, covering the rise of the Nazi party from 1919-1933 and the political machinations and the funding that brought it to power Charles Higham American Swastika, Doubleday, 1985 Traces the Nazi connections and funding of numerous American pro-fascist and anti-war activists during WWII, including Charles Lindbergh, Father Coughlin, Errol Flynn, and numerous others Tom Bower The Paperclip Conspiracy, Little, Brown, 1987 One of the essential books on Project Paperclip, the CIA program (actually several parallel programs) that actively recruited Nazi scientists, academics, military and intelligence personnel, chemical and biological warfare specialists, etc. for use as intelligence assets around the world Christopher Simpson Blowback, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1988 Another essential book on the Paperclip project, focusing primarily on the recruitment of fascist �migr� groups for use as stay-behind 'anti-communist' guerrilla armies, disseminators of pro-Western propaganda, etc. Linda Hunt Secret Agenda, St. Martins Press, 1991 Another essential book on Project Paperclip, and one that is particularly difficult to find, reveals that countless Nazis were brought to the U.S. and placed in military installations, universities, and private corporations, regardless of their wartime records Peter Lavenda Unholy Alliance, Avon, 1995 Details a rarely noted aspect of the Third Reich - its occult underpinnings, including the connections to American and British occult groups both past and present The MK-ULTRA Project: George H. Estabrooks Hypnotism, Dutton, 1943 Long before the MK-ULTRA project officially existed, and before the CIA itself even existed, Estabrooks spilled the beans on the intelligence community's experiments with, and successes with, the creation of hypnotically controlled agents (written by one of the agency's pioneer 'spychiatrists') Jose M. R. Delgado Physical Control of the Mind, Harper and Row, 1969 [click here to read a 1965 NY Times article on Delgado] Another agency 'spychiatrist,' recruited from fascist Spain, revealed how his experiments with electromagnetic control of the mind had met with resounding success (bonus points: the book ends with a chapter entitled "Toward a Psychocivilized Society") Donald Bain The Control of Candy Jones, Playboy Press, 1976 The story of Candy Jones, one of America's favorite pin-up girls, who discovered that she had been programmed as a CIA courier and possible assassin [click here to read a recent article concerning women with similar stories] Paul A. Verdier Brainwashing and the Cults, Wilshire Book Company, 1977 A classic in agency disinformation, Verdier's book acknowledges that hypnotic mind control is a real phenomenon, but attributes its use only to 'Communists' and cult-like groups (bonus points: the book ends with a chapter entitled "Benevolent Brainwashing in the Future") Walter Bowart Operation Mind Control, Dell Publishing, 1978 Probably the most difficult to locate book on the MK-ULTRA program ever published, and well worth searching for (but expect to pay a premium price for any copy you can locate) Peter Watson War on the Mind, Hutchinson, 1978 Written by a British journalist and published in the UK, this book only indirectly addresses the MK-ULTRA program, but is valuable nonetheless Peter Schrag Mind Control, Pantheon, 1978 This book does not focus specifically on MK-ULTRA research, but rather looks at how the entire field of psychology/psychiatry was developed and is used as an agent of control and repression, particularly through the use of behavior control drugs Gordon Thomas Journey Into Madness, Bantam, 1989 Yet another hard-to-find book that is essential reading both for information on MK-ULTRA as well as background information on Dulles, Helms, Colby, Casey, Gottlieb, Buckley, and various other key players in the CIA Other Noteworthy Titles: Herman C. Morris and Harry B. Henderson World War II in Pictures, Doubleday, 1942 & Greystone, 1946 A Time/Life style three volume series that was written and published as events unfolded (i.e. without the benefit of cold war revisionism) and therefore presents a decidedly different version of the war than what now passes for history Robert Harris and Jeremy Paxman A Higher Form of Killing, Hill and Wang, 1982 The most accurate history available of chemical and biological warfare from World War I through 1981, including decades-old efforts to develop ethnically specific biowarfare agents Douglas Valentine The Phoenix Program, William Morrow, 1990 An in-depth look at the CIA's notorious torture and assassination program that claimed tens of thousands of civilian victims during the Vietnam war, including the connections to other death squads both before and after Ed Sanders The Family, Dutton, 1971 A much different take on the Manson Family than was presented by hack prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi in Helter Skelter (as noted above, read this in conjunction with Acid Dreams and The Ultimate Evil) The National Insecurity Council It's A Conspiracy!, EarthWorks Press, 1992 Along with The CIA's Greatest Hits, one of the best bathroom readers ever written, with a wealth of information in an easily digestible format Gordon Thomas Enslaved, Pharos Books, 1991 This book, written by a well respected author of dozens of titles, tells "The chilling modern-day story of abduction and abuse in the global trafficking of men, women and children" (and you thought the spooks only trafficked in guns and drugs?) Carl A. Raschke, Ph.D. Painted Black, Harper & Row, 1990 The director of the Institute for Humanities at the University of Denver traces the intricate connections between key members of the Satanist, White Supremacist, and Fascist movements Linda Blood The New Satanists, Warner Books, 1994 A former mistress of Temple of Set founder and U.S. intelligence asset Col. Michael Aquino details the Nazi connections and ideological basis of Anton LeVay's Church of Satan and its various offshoots, including the Temple of Set and the Werewolf Order (run by LeVay's daughter Zeena) Closing Thoughts " ... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people ... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people." Herbert George (H.G.) Wells in his long forgotten and rather elaborately entitled book The New World Order: Whether It Is Attainable, How It Can Be Attained, and What Sort of World a World at Peace Will Have to Be, published in 1939 just as Hitler was beginning to institute his 'New Order' in Europe "If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand up for human life, then his lawlessness will threaten the peace and democracy of the emerging new world order we now see, this long dreamed-of vision we've all worked toward for so long." President George Herbert Walker Bush , 1991 "And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing � a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods." Aldous Huxley, 1959 "Through clever and constant application of propaganda people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1935 "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?"
