How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers
How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers

Review:This book shows how the politicians and cheap labor tech people are trying to destroy the tech industry and the careers of decent hardworking Americans.

This is especially bad as the tech industry is an area where average people can go to school and with some effort and discipline hopefully get a well paying long term job. The politicians talk about well paying long term jobs and they actively attack and attempt to destroy an industry and the careers of their citizens. This is terrible. A... Read more

Sometimes a Great Notion
Sometimes a Great Notion

Review:Sometimes a Great Notion is an anti-union manifesto, a work of flowing literature that should be studied in the cloistering halls of higher learning--not as much for its deep meaning, but rather for the structure of its text (I dare a professor to take any one of the 600+ pages and study it for an entire semester), a masterpiece of prose, the second novel by The Great Ken Kesey (1935-2001), a juxtaposition of two brothers that has been unequalled since Tolstoy.

The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier
The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier

Review:This book should be required reading for everyone who decides questions of war and peace, even as a citizen writing letter to Congress or the President. General Butler gives a whole new view of what is involved in using military force "to protect American interests." WARNING: Some of the photographs in the back of war's results are not just graphic but gruesome. Read more

Propaganda
Propaganda

Review:Despite some spelling errors, this is one of those books that helps one put things together, if one is predisposed to such things. The book is also instructive in that it shows how far advertising and public relations has veered from ethics. I recommend this book. Read more

and Deception in American History - Lies the Government Told You

Review:Napolitano tells it like it is, sparing the typical fluff you get from the network news analysts. This book provides the insights and template for reversing the insidious government "creep" that is choking what's left of the American Dream. Patriots Unite! Before it's too late. Read more

The Lexus and the Olive Tree - Understanding Globalization
The Lexus and the Olive Tree - Understanding Globalization

Review:Whatever profession you work in, you will fall behind if you don't understand the principles that Friedman explains so well. Like From Beirut to Jerusalem, this book is extremely well-written and well-told. It's by no means an easy read, but Friedman helps us out by weaving stories from his travels around the globe and giving enough examples so that even non-technological folk will have no problem following his argument. Suddenly you'll understand why the US must be concerned with crises... Read more

A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century - The World Is Flat 3.0

Review:The author, Friedman, is a gifted writer. He's won 3 Pulizer prizes so far. A truly brilliant man. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to keep up with the global/international times, especially the electronic/technological times. The book is astonishingly apt to our changing times. This book will "blow your mind." It did mine. I read this book as it was published in 2005, so when the author updated and expanded the book, I was thrilled and could hardly wait to read the new version... Read more

Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

Review:Once again Naomi Klein uses her knowledge of shock and awe and the current political situation to educate us and even guide us toward a possible positive outcome in a climate that appears hopelessly far from our care of our common home. Amazingly current, a must read that keeps the reader looking forward to each page Read more

March: Book Two

Review:A graphic novel has the creative freedom to do some time travel along the narrative arc of our story. At a time when Euro-Americans feel discomfort while watching mob violence by people given sanction to throw gasoline and plant bombs, this history forces us to see exactly how dangerous it was to become a Freedom Rider--and how necessary that choice was. White supremacists still murder African-American ministers and Bible students. As a result of many generations of pushing social evolution, we ... Read more

The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government
The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government

Review:A really good book in the analysis of the present situation with the "Deep State" but weak on a possible solution. The system can't be reformed. I fear the best we can hope for is either a Soviet style collapse or another bloody Civil War. Pessimistic yes but at least it is 20 years away. Read more
