This webpage provides some input on books that we consider to be the essential knowledge base for everyone to improve your chances for enhanced well being for you and yours (our Knowledge Base II page lists our websites knowledge base).
NOTE: we are way behind on keeping this page up to date, but you can peruse a list of new books that we have recently reviewed at this link.
Initially, this book knowledge base will also serve as a generic pseudo-bibliography, albeit minus reference points. At this stage, this webpage is somewhat of a “work in progress”, and basically at first we will just present a list — by category — of some of the more essential books that we consider unbiased and uniquely informative regarding their subject matter.
Note that many of the books in this list will not be found at a bookstore, and rather would be found at university, research, and major government libraries. Use this link to the “WorldCat” online search to locate libraries near you that have specific books of interest.
*NOTE: if you have a Google account, such as Gmail, you can set up your own “collection” of online books through their “books” app, many of which are free to read in their entirety (unless they are newly released), while others just have pertinent sections for viewing.

Reality Bites
“The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy”, author Marrs. Just about every page of this book results in a revelation that will make you wonder if what you are reading is true, but all of the revelations are well annotated as to the credible source of the information. It’s an eye-opener, and should be required reading for every American, before it’s too late… WARNING! Beware that the information noted in this book is not for the timid, as it might well raise your blood pressure, make it difficult for you to sleep at night, drive you to drink, or result in your ingesting mood-altering medication, among other adverse effects. But, it is also essential knowledge for anyone that has any concern about their future, their quietly evaporating freedoms and soon to be cleaned out savings accounts… Footnote, some reviews of this book tend to be biased, and are simply downplaying smokescreens from government and corporate shills…
“HOW THE WEST WAS LOST”, author Dambisa Moyo. The same warning for the above noted book also applies to this one…
“It Could Happen Here”, author Judson. Published over two years ago, this book should now be re-titled to “It is Going To Happen Here”, and all too soon it will be “What is Happening Now in America”. Again, the same warning for the above noted books also applies to this one…
Problems, Solutions, Reforms…
“The Coming Famine”, author Cribb. About the approaching global food crisis. Like, there isn’t one already? Sure, American grocery stores are well stocked right now, but just in sub-Saharan Africa, millions of children are said to be permanently blind simply because of a vitamin A deficiency, and it is said that nearly 15,000 children — fifteen thousand — die quietly each and every day from starvation or a malnutrition-related disease while some sources put this number as high as 28,000. Reliable sources state that from 15 to 18 million are said to die from starvation every year, so the 15,000 per day sounds minimally accurate. And America has an obesity problem, a big obesity problem, altho there is nothing funny about that when children are starving to death around the planet. And that is just Africa, and only right now, yet this book addresses how bad starvation will become — even in America — in the not too distant future… “Global warming gets all the publicity but the real threat to the human race is starvation on a massive scale”.
“The End of Food”, author Roberts. This book covers the burgeoning demand for food from increasing overpopulation, the lack of sustainability of a poorly designed system that degrades the environment, depletes the soil, consumes limited mineral and fertilizer resources, and burns carbons fossil fuels in the post “peak oil” period which is experiencing the decline of fuel and it’s rise in costs. Then too, there is that global warming thing and it’s “side effects” of desertification, regional droughts, and regional floods adversely affecting agriculture all around the planet, along with the oceans suffering a 90% loss of the food fish in the oceans due to round the clock commercial overfishing by supertankers dragging nets across the bottom of the ocean large enough to hold several 747s. Needless to say, the system is going to collapse, directly proportional to the decreasingly less than 50 year cycle of the global population doubling. But, with the forthcoming spread of already occurring starvation of the masses, population growth will slow someday without choice, even though the beleaguered hordes of currently famine-plagued Somalis — where 100,000 are expected to starve to death this year in spite of foreign aid relief — typically have 10 to 15 children per family. See the “Eating Fossil Fuels” review bolstering the coming crisis in food production…
“Eating Fossil Fuels”, subtitled “Oil, Food, and the coming crisis in agriculture”, author Pleiffer. This book covers the topics surrounding the impending collapse of the planetary food production system, and the reasons it will transpire; well, it does not cover the resolute stupidity of the leaders of America ignoring the 800 trillion ton gorilla in the greenhouse that is already wrecking food production through the adverse effects of global warming. The book has a very good resources section for further information and action…
“Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail Or Succeed”. Who Hasn’t Gazed upon the abandoned temples of Angkor Wat or the jungle-choked cities of the Maya and wondered, could the same fate happen to us? In this riveting book, Jared Diamond explores how humankind’s use and abuse of the environment reveal the truth behind the world’s great collapses, from the Anasazi of North America to the Vikings of Greenland. What emerges is a fundamental pattern of environmental catastrophe, one whose warning signs surround us today and that we ignore at our peril. Blending the most recent scientific advances and a vast historical perspective into a narrative that is impossible to put down, Collapse exposes the deepest mysteries of the past…
“Ecocide”, subtitled “A Short History of the Mass Extinction of Species”, author Broswimmer. This book was published nine years ago, and at that time it noted that over 100 species were becoming extinct on a daily basis back then, and that number has risen significantly, and only shows signs of continued cascading increases in extinctions due to loss of “biodiversity” and of course ongoing destruction of habitat to satiate the needs of a runaway overpopulation of humans which is now doubling in less than time spans of every fifty years, with the number of years on that time span decreasing with each doubling (becoming exponential so to speak). For example, 90% of the big food fish have disappeared from the oceans in only the last 50 years due to commercial supertanker trawlers dragging mammoth nets big enough to hold several 747′s across the bottoms of the oceans to scoop up any and everything in their paths with massive “sidekill” of undesired catch, all to feed the masses. The current wave of extinctions is rivaled only by the three large cataclysmic mass extinctions of the remote geological past. This book provides a valuable insight into the danger that we face, and looks at how humans will be adversely affected, potentially looking at extinction themselves…
“The Party’s Over”, subtitled “Oil, War, and the State of Industrial Societies”, author Heinberg. This book is about the depletion of oil, the loss of cheap energy, resultant resource wars, and imminent industrial collapse into a new age. We are entering a new era as different from the industrial era as the industrial was to medieval times, and likely a return to the near-equivalent of medieval times, with energy wars being fought not so much by machines, as by those countries who have vast populations, and therefore vast armies. Our descendants will look back on this era with awe and horror, perplexed that seemingly very few saw the consequences of wasting the age of cheap energy by lounging and doing little to prepare what was to come, their eventuality of meager austerity. This all presumes that global warming will not have made the planet uninhabitable for future generations…
“The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight”, subtitled “The Fate of the World and What We Can Do Before It’s Too Late”, author Thom Hartmann. First, the book was published in 2004, and it is almost already “too late”, and definitely will be in a few more years if nothing is done… Secondly, this book was highly praised by a number of very distinguished people. Third, like the title, this book is very unique and deserves to be at the top of the list of books to read not only on global warming, but a diverse range of relevant topics are covered such as forthcoming water shortages, famines, and depletions of resources and inhabitable lands…
“Climate Change and Security”, subtitled “A Gathering Storm of Global Changes”, author Christian Webersik. This book analyzes the many risks posed to the security of the nations of this planet as a result of the catastrophic climatic changes that will be — and are already beginning to be — brought about by the global overheating of the atmosphere, oceans, and lands across the globe. As worsening catastrophic weather, increasing droughts, desertification, flooding, wildfires, rising seas, water shortages, soil and mineral depletion, food shortages, energy shortages, and inhabitable land shrinks, the overpopulated masses will become increasingly desperate, and countries will war over resources. Countries such as China are already preparing for the coming planetary conflicts with a massive buildup of their military to include ICBMs, long range stealth bombers, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and space-war weaponry.
“Tropic of Chaos”, subtitled “Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence”. The new era of climate war is already upon us. Extreme weather brought on by global warming is unleashing cascades of unrest and violence all across the globe. Tropic of Chaos details the gathering social and environmental catastrophe initiated by global warming, and demonstrates how environmental crisis is colliding with the twin legacies of Cold War militarism and unbridled free market economics to cause fragile nations to disintegrate into failed states. Link to Worldcat library search for “Tropic of Chaos” at a library near you..
Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization. As fossil fuel prices rise, oil insecurity deepens, and concerns about climate change cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new energy economy is emerging. Wind, solar, and geothermal energy are replacing oil, coal, and natural gas, at a pace and on a scale we could not have imagined even a year ago. For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Plan B 4.0 explores both the nature of this transition to a new energy economy and how it will affect our daily lives.
“If You Love This Planet”, subtitled “A Plan to Heal the Earth”, author Helen Caldicott. The title might well have been “If you love living on this planet” or “If you love your children”. The book is another one that deserves to be nearer the top of this list. It covers a diverse range of topics from a different perspective and should be high up on the list of crucial books on global warming to peruse…
“Down to the wire”, subtitled “Confronting Climate Collapse”. No review as yet…
“Population and Climate Change”. How burgeoning overpopulation increases global warming…
“Hot”, subtitled “Living through the next fifty years on Earth”, author Hertzgaard. Realistic information on what to expect climatically in the future, and what you — and especially your children and grandchildren — need to know to prepare and cope…
“The New Atlas of Planet Management”. The New Atlas of Planet Management was regarded as the most groundbreaking survey of the state of our planet when it was first published in 1984. After over twenty years in print, it has become the bible of the environmental movement and the definitive guide to a planet in critical transition. Regularly featured among the top ten books on the environment, the Atlas has been read by millions of people and translated into more than a dozen languages. The 2005 enlarged edition brings the classic reference up-to-date. Thoroughly revised with the latest figures and analysis, fresh full-color and easy-to-read graphics, an expanded format, and a wealth of current environmental and political topics that have arisen during the previous two decades, The New Atlas of Planet Management will equip a further generation of readers with information to face the challenges of the new millennium. This “atlas” should be a required textbook for all students to face the forthcoming reality of the planet they will have to attempt to survive upon… Since that will never happen, buy or obtain a copy from a library near you for the sake of your children and grandchildren.
“Sustainagility: How Smart Innovation and Agile Companies Will Help Protect Our Future”. First, beware the abundant optimism of the title of this book. But be aware that the book does outline the many problems of sustainability, or more pointedly the lack of sustainability, and what needs to be addressed to lessen impacts of coming peak everything as this planet is encumbered with runaway populations that pillage it’s dwindling and limited resources. One important point well made, is that the costs to avoid impending problems will be less to address them now than in the future, but try to tell that to the greedy globalist corporations who want to kick the costs down the road for someone else — you and yours — to pay for…
When Technology Fails – A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency by Matthew Stein.
“2045″, subtitled “A Story of Our Future”, author Seidel. Do you prefer to not read about the scientific details and then have to mentally conjure what the future holds for this increasingly plundered planet and it’s increasingly beleaguered inhabitants? OK, this book is a psuedo-fictitious minimalistic novel. “Psuedo” because altho it is about fictional characters 34 years into the future, that it very thoroughly portrays what the United States and the planet will very well be like, at least in part, but much too possibly it depicts our future much too accurately. “Minimalistic” because it takes the high road and avoids the more dire consequences of the future that the consensus of scientists currently predict for the planet. So, the main character is brought out of a 35 year long coma in 2045, and the book follows his re-orientation into a completely changed overheated, overcrowded world filled with a mindless populace, with ample explanations of what transpired to bring America to it’s austere state of deprivation. The author seems to have done his homework to a large extent, and the blunt force trauma wrought by a continual array visualizations of your future will change your perspective on how humans are mindlessly trashing the only habitable planet upon which they can survive…

Politics, Government, Corporations, Corruption, Greed, and Inequality
“Screwed: the undeclared war against the middle class–and what we can do”, author Thom Hartmann. The title says it clearly, the 30 year class war attack by politicians, the wealthy, and corporations on the middle class, the working class, and the poor, initiating historic record high disparate financial inequality that has always resulted in economic implosion and downfall of all countries and empires that mindlessly have allowed the greedy to steal the money from the sector of the population that drives the economic engine… Without the “economic engine” having money to spend, the result is what we have now, the beginning of the economic implosion. Do something, before it is too late.
“Economic Apartheid in America”, subtitled “A Primer on Economic Inequality”, authors Collins/Yeskel. This is a down to earth discourse on the burgeoning disparate economic inequality — also know as the class war by the filthy rich plundering the rest of us — in America, eliminating the middle class, returning to a time of kings and robber barons ruling over serfs in a state of impoverished slavery. Although the book is revealing, it seems to lack the emphasis that all nations and empires throughout recorded history that have fallen into disparate financial inequality, have all suffered economic implosion, anarchy, and downfall, ranging from ancient Rome, to the American revolution, the French revolution, and now countries all across the planet are rising up in revolt, except for much too complacent America, as yet…
“Hungry Corporations”, subtitled “Transnational Biotech Companies Colonize the Food Chain”, authors Paul/Steinbrecher. This book takes on the biotech industry deceptively using the third world hunger crisis to justify their force-feeding the world with GMO (genetically modified) tainted foods, which in reality is just a greedy effort to increase their profits. It also explains the corrupting biotech corporate “influence” ($$) on international regulatory bodies and government legislatures in order to bribe them to “look the other way” (surprise, surprise). If you have observed activists railing against the use of GMOs, this book explains the unfortunate reality of the dangerous problem.
Breaking the Sound Barrier – “You can learn more of the truth about Washington and the world from one week of Amy Goodman’s ‘Democracy Now!’ than from a month of Sunday morning talk shows. Make that a year of Sunday morning talk shows.” — Bill Moyers intro to the book, “Breaking the Sound Barrier”.
Lost rights: the destruction of American liberty – Lost Rights provides an analysis of the bloated excess of government and the plight of contemporary Americans beaten into submission by a horrible parody of the Founding Fathers’ dream.
Congress and Other Cesspools. A detailed history of fraud and corruption involving members of Congress and other government and non-government entities, primarily as it involves financial frauds upon the American people.
“The Future of Democratic Equality”, author Schwartz. This book provides a basic introduction to the burgeoning disparity of the historically record high economic inequality in America which has always led to the implosion and downfall of all nations and empires that have fallen into the trap of taking all of the money from the middle and working classes to be hoarded by a minutely small elitist oligarchy.
“The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy. Not very patriotic, but then neither is ignoring the future plight of the planet and the fate of our children and grandchildren…
“Juggernaut Politics: Understanding Predatory Globalization”, author Gélinas. Like the four books immediately above, you may not want to know what is actually going on, but you must realize what is happening globally, and then do something about it. And if you mistakenly think you are unable to do anything, this and the four books above outline what every American should be doing to stop the mindlessly ignorant insanity of what the leaders are doing (the “leaders” are the wealthy executives of the transnational corporations that are rapaciously pillaging the environment and the world economy and hoarding it’s financial spoils, who are surely too pharmaceutically lobotomized to knowingly ignore the impending dangers they bring upon the planet)…
Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. The book clarifies that the neoconservative movement is not about democracy, but is rather a repressive prescription for maximizing globalist transnational corporate profits for a small elite class of super rich. Neocons see the ideal ratio of super wealthy to the working class as consisting of an upper class of big business oligarchists and their political puppets forming the top twenty percent wealthiest. The remaining 80% of the world’s population must subsist in misery, unable to afford adequate housing, education, or healthcare. This book presents a compelling account of the way big business and politics use global disasters and crises for their own ends.
Right is Wrong: how the lunatic fringe hijacked America, shredded the Constitution, and made us all less safe. With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to the fate of the country. She makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element — the lunatic fringe of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan/Pakistan, a failing economy, a class war, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture. But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant corporatocracy-owned media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again. Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.
The Republican War on Science. Science has never been more crucial to deciding the political issues facing the country. Yet science and scientists have less influence with the federal government than at any time since Richard Nixon fired his science advisers. In the Congress, findings are reported in a politicized manner; spun or distorted to fit the speaker’s agenda; or, when they’re too inconvenient, ignored entirely. On a broad array of issues-stem cell research, climate change, evolution, sex education, product safety, environmental regulation, and many others — the Republican positions fly in the face of overwhelming scientific consensus. Federal science agencies — once fiercely independent under both Republican and Democratic presidents — are increasingly staffed by political appointees who know industry lobbyists and evangelical activists far better than they know the science. This is not unique to Republicans, but it is largely a Republican phenomenon, born of a conservative dislike of environmental, health, and safety regulation, and at the extremes, of evolution and legalized population control and abortion. In The Republican War on Science, Chris Mooney ties together the disparate strands of the attack on science into a compelling and frightening account of our government’s increasing unwillingness to distinguish between legitimate research and ideologically driven pseudoscience.
Hoodwinked. You don’t know what you don’t know… This book pulls back the curtain on the real cause of the global financial meltdown. The author shows how we’ve been hoodwinked by the CEOs who run the corporatocracy – those few corporations that control the vast amounts of capital, land, and resources around the globe – and the politicians they manipulate. The corporate fat cats have sold us all on what the author calls predatory capitalism, a misguided form of geopolitics and capitalism that encourages a widespread exploitation of the many to benefit a small number of the already very wealthy. Their arrogance, gluttony, and mismanagement have brought us to a perilous abyss. The solution is not a ‘return to normal’, not to keep doing the same thing and voting the same way…

Weapons of Mass Media Deception
Merchants of Doubt: how a handful of scientists obscured the truth on issues from tobacco smoke to global warming. The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. “Merchants of Doubt should finally put to rest the question of whether the science of climate change is settled. It is, and we ignore this message at our peril.” “Brilliantly reported andwritten with brutal clarity.” Merchants of Doubtwas one of the most talked-about climate change books of recent years, for reasons easy to understand: It tells the controversialstory of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. The same individuals who claim the scienceof global warming is “not settled” have also denied the truth about studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. “Doubt is our product,” wrote one tobacco executive. These bogus “experts” supplied it.
Selling Fear: Counterterrorism, the Media, and Public Opinion. While we’ve long known that the strategies of terrorism rely heavily on media coverage of attacks, Selling Fear is the first detailed look at the role played by media in counterterrorism—and the ways that, in the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration manipulated coverage to maintain a climate of fear. Drawing on in-depth analysis of counterterrorism in the years after 9/11—including the issuance of terror alerts and the decision to invade Iraq—the authors present a compelling case that the Bush administration hyped fear, while obscuring civil liberties abuses and concrete issues of preparedness. The media, meanwhile, largely abdicated its watchdog role, choosing to amplify the administration’s message while downplaying issues that might have called the administration’s statements and strategies into question. The book extends through Hurricane Katrina, and the more skeptical coverage that followed, then the first year of the Obama administration, when an increasingly partisan political environment presented the media, and the public, with new problems of reporting and interpretation.
“News incorporated: corporate media ownership and its threat to democracy”. This book is probably the best source of information to truly “get it” just how badly the seven corporate owned mainstream media conglomerates blatantly decieve Americans. If you don’t have a lot of time to read books, this is the one that blows away the smokescreen and exposes how much disinformation the puppetized media bobbleheads dispense as though it were gospel…
“Propaganda and Democracy: The American Experience of Media and Mass Persuasion”. “Propaganda and Democracy is the first comprehensive study on the relationship of propaganda to participatory democracy in the United States during the twentieth century.”
“Media Control: The Spectacular Achievement of Propaganda”. The media deceptions are likely much worse than you know…
The Inquisition of Climate Science. Science is under the greatest and most successful attack in modern history. An industry of denial, abetted by media more interested in selling controversy than presenting facts, has duped half the American public into rejecting the facts of climate science — facts showing that human-caused emissions are warming the Earth. The industry of climate science denial is succeeding: public acceptance has declined even as the scientific evidence for global warming has increased. It is vital that the public understand how anti-science ideologues, pseudo-scientists, and non-scientists have bamboozled them. We cannot afford to get global warming wrong, yet thanks to deniers and their methods, we are. The Inquisition of Climate Science is the first book to take on the climate science denial movement and the deniers themselves, exposing their lack of credentials, industry funding, and absence of any alternative theory to explain the observed evidence of warming. In this book, readers meet the most prominent deniers and participate in a dissection of their credentials, arguments, and lack of objectivity. The author shows that the deniers use a wide variety of deceptive rhetorical techniques, many of them going back to the Greeks. While written for the general reader and non-scientist, this book is carefully researched and fully referenced. Readers with an open mind will learn that the evidence of global warming is real and see that an industry of denial has deceived the American public, putting them and especially their children grandchildren at risk.
Toxic Sludge is Good for You: lies, damn lies, and the public relations industry. Blows the lid off of today’s multi-billion-dollar propaganda-for-hire PR industry, revealing how public relations wizards concoct and spin the news, organize phony “grassroots” front groups, spy on citizens and conspire with lobbyists and politicians…
Mad Cow USA: science, propaganda and the meat you eat. Mad Cow USA looks at the scientists and science behind a rare and capricious class of diseases that have baffled researchers for centuries. It follows the career of eccentric doctor Carleton Gajdusek through his Nobel Prize-winning explorations of a devastating epidemic among human cannibals in Papua New Guinea. It charts the rise to prominence of Stanley Prusiner, once derided as a charlatan for his “prion” theory which “commits heresy against the central dogma of modern biology”. It shows how other scientists’ careers have risen and fallen based on their willingness to parrot government and industry assurances that your food is safe. Mad Cow USA tells a scary story, and the scariest part of all is the picture it paints of scientific and government ignorance, arrogance and reckless technological tampering with the human food supply. It shows you where science, politics and modern industry collide — on your dinner plate…
“Making the News: A Guide for Nonprofits and Activists”. Excellent guide with tons of information about how to get your cause in the news, or just disseminated to the right groups…
“Sanctified Snake Oil: The Effect of Junk Science on Public Policy”". That would be junk science of the “deniers”…
Protection from Scams, Fraud, and Identity Theft
“Scam-Proof Your Life: 377 Smart Ways to Protect You & Your Family”. “Consumer reporter Kirchheimer, who writes the “Scam Alert” column for the AARP [American Association of Retired Persons] Bulletin, here aims to help consumers avoid swindles, ripoffs, and the costly mistakes of service providers”.
“Identity theft and how to protect yourself”. “This completely revised edition explores the various forms identity theft can take, from stealing credit cards and social security numbers and more, and offers guidelines to minimize the chances of becoming a victim of identity theft, and the recourse one has if they do fall victim to this serious crime.”

And, here is a link to our good ole FTC’s (dot Govy wuvy) website presenting their take on ID theft (FWIW….).
Activism, how to do something…
Note that some of these books are also featured in other sections, such as climate change. And altho some deal with subjects such as global warming, that the specifics of how to get organized and accomplish change can generally be applied to any desired movement. Also, the resource sections of these books provide additional leads that are not necessarily specific to the topic of the book. Lastly, most books from the other sections, such as the media and health, not included here in this section, do provide points of action, what needs to be done to resolve problems, and how to go about resolving them…
“Making the News: A Guide for Nonprofits and Activists”. Excellent guide with tons of information about how to get your cause in the news, or just disseminated to the right groups…
“Mandate for change: policies and leadership for 2009 and beyond”, author Hartman. Provides some direction on what and how to do to engage the reform America machine…
“Regime change begins at home: freeing America from corporate rule” by Charles Derber. Reviews are mixed, but seems to be attributable to bias, looks fine to us…
“Stop Global Warming”, subtitled “The Solution is You, An Activist’s Guide”, author Laurie David. This relatively small 70 page book concisely states that the problems of global warming are already beset upon us, why we must do something about it now, and how to go about informing others to get organized and push for American politicians to force American corporations to comply with amelioration of burgeoning global warming, as the entire rest of the world, without exception, wants America to do. An excellent resource section provides a wealth of information on how to sensibly go about it all…
“Fight Global Warming NOW”, subtitled “The Handbook for Taking Action in Your Community”, author Bill McKibben. Another perspective on how to inform and organize others in your community to further push politicians and corporations into doing something to slow down global warming. Good advice and great resource section…
“Love My Country, Loathe My Government”, author Korschek. This highly enlightening book provides fifty steps to correct the wayward course that the politicians have this country on.
“Manifesto for a New World Order”. “A visionary road map for humanity’s first global democratic revolution. All over the planet, the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world is run by a handful of executives who make the most important of decisions concerning war, peace, debt, development, and the balance of trade.”
“Point, Click, & Vote”, authors Alvarez and Hall. This book provides details about online voting, information about which is suppressed by the corporate owned media shills. Online voting has recently been tried out in a couple of states and numerous municipalities successfully. This process is one of the tools that we employ in our proposal to remediate the ridiculous situation in America and around the planet…
Check back, we have more to add, and we still have a long way to go, and likely so do you. But what is here already should suffice to provide you with a basic but highly beneficial knowledge base on what you need to avoid, what you need to do, but most of all what you need to know…
