In random attacks, he is known to have murdered six persons; in a series of letters to newspapers, which sometimes included cryptograms, he boasted of many more. To this day, the infamous case remains unsolved and surprisingly little has been written about it. Graysmith, a San Francisco Chronicle staff member, was obsessed with the case from the beginning and he has continued to investigate it as an amateur sleuth. Except for ``Zodiac'' himself, the author now knows more about the case than anyone.

The assault consisted of inserting a broomstick, a baseball bat and another stick into her vagina while nine teammates watched. In this important book, Edgar Award-winner Lefkowitz emphasizes that the event was neither isolated nor spontaneous but merely the most vile and extreme in a career of sexual abuse, sexual harassment and vicious property destruction perpetrated by the admired, pampered clique of athletes as they progressed through Glen Ridge's school system. Readers may have mixed feelings about \"Our Guys\": How does one react to a well-researched, finely crafted and much needed book that concerns young men behaving in almost unimaginably inhumane ways toward young women? The book has no heroes; only villains, victims and the indifferent populate its pages. In this case, don't blame the messenger. Lefkowitz has done what national publicity and press coverage couldn't. In clear, reasoned prose he unravels the social context necessary for understanding horror in a \"perfect suburb.\" His six years of research and more than 200 interviews support charges of repeated failure by athletes, parents, educators and the criminal justice system. In the end he indicts us all: \"If a culture is measured by how it treats its weakest members, the Glen Ridge case, first to last, revealed American culture at its basest.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical Books\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSocial Psychology \u0026amp; Interactions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":46670660599998,"sku":"0375702695-4","price":15.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71biLxkbb-L.jpg?v=1776880508"},{"product_id":"0374288909-that_used_to_be_us","title":"That Used To Be Us","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eMakes Recommendations For Meeting Four Major Challenges Currently Facing The United States, Including Globalization, The Information Technology Revolution, Chronic Deficits, And Unbalanced Energy Consumption.

University of Kent at Canterbury The Man in the Iron Mask is the final episode in the cycle of novels featuring Dumas celebrated foursome of D Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, who first appeared in The Three Musketeers. Some thirty-five years on, the bonds of comradeship are under strain as they end up on different sides in a power struggle that may undermine the young Louis XIV and change the face of the French monarchy. In the fast-paced narrative style that was his trademark, Dumas pitches us straight into the action. What is the secret shared by Aramis and Madame de Chevreuse? Why does the Queen Mother fear its revelation? Who is the mysterious prisoner in the Bastille? And what is the nature of the threat he poses?

He reveals a group of fundamentalists operating in the present-day United States, where teenage girls are kept in virtual bondage in the name of upholding the \"sacred principle\" of polygamy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e As the leader and self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in isolated southern Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers for nearly a decade. His rule was utterly tyrannical. In addition to coercing young girls into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly took scores of wives, many of whom were his father s widows. Television, radio, and newspapers were shunned, creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above all else. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e But in 2007, after a two-year manhunt that landed him on the FBI s Ten Most Wanted List, Jeffs s reign was forcefully ended. He was convicted of rape as an accomplice for his role in arranging a marriage between a fourteen-year-old girl and her nineteen-year-old first cousin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWhen Men Become Gods\u003c\/i\u003e, Edgar Award nominee Stephen Singular traces Jeffs s rise to power and the concerted effort that led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law enforcement, private investigators, the Feds, and perhaps most vocal of all, a group of former polygamous wives seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages they d once endured. The book offers new revelations into a nearly impenetrable enclave---a place of nineteenth-century attire, inbreeding, and eerie seclusion---providing readers with a rare glimpse into a tradition that s almost a century old, but that has only now been exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ripped-from-the-headlines exposé uncovers the rise and fall of polygamist Warren Jeffs, former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Based on interviews with ex-members, newspaper stories and trial records, it provides a raw and bracing account of Jeffs's sex crimes and fugitive years. Unfortunately, Singular's account is not burdened by nuance or significant attention to history or theology, ignoring important prior research on Mormon fundamentalism and painting all polygamists with the same broad brush. Some of this could be forgiven if Singular's lapses in understanding Mormon fundamentalism were not exacerbated by his frequent tactic of comparing the FLDS to Islamic extremists, which evokes the intended fear response but remains tenuous. However, the book's second half, which hews closely to the chronology of Jeffs's flight from the law and the individuals who helped to bring him to justice, is more balanced than the first. Singular is a strong writer who uses pacing, dialogue and drama to good effect. Readers will find this a troubling and fascinating, if careless, account. \u003ci\u003e(May)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The only reason I am here now and able to share my story with you is because I never stopped fighting to prove my innocence. Eventually, I won and my convictions were overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2000. I was free...but changed forever. I knew, at first hand, what injustice felt like, looked like and what prison can do to a human being. I am scarred by my life experience but I have not allowed it to hold me back.This is my story.\\\u003cbr\u003eI learned about criminal behaviour, crime and the law from the confines of a maximum-security prison cell. I transferred the determined questioning and methodological research skills I acquired in prison to become a respected and unwavering reporter that specialised in social and criminal justice. This is why I go into some of the toughest prisons in the world; people need to see what justice, injustice and reform look like around the world. I have visited many high security prisons around the world, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Britain, Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Brazil, Ukraine, Belize, Romania, Costa Rica and South Africa to name a few. Inside I meet with some of the world's most dangerous prisoners, the guards, prisoners' families and politicians and talk to them about crime and punishment. Is it dangerous? Yes, it is, but I believe it is crucial to show an insight into how prisons around the World work. Only with greater knowledge and understanding can real reform take place. My reporting and investigative journalism about prison, crime and criminal behaviour has significantly changed people's perceptions and I am very proud of that achievement. I left school at 16, and so my academic achievements have been limited but I do not see that as a failure. It is part of who I am and is testimony to overcoming the financial and social challenges I endured growing up in a deprived area scarred by racial discrimination and inequality. After all I went from there to prime time television and a career in investigative journalism that has taken me around the World!\u003cbr\u003eI am successful in my chosen career because I am a curious individual, a skilled researcher, an experienced interviewer and a tenacious investigator of facts.

This is why I volunteer my time to social justice projects I care about. Encouraging and motivating people to overcome their own adversities and achieve their own dreams is important to me, regardless of whether they come from a deprived background with limited qualifications, or are successful postgraduates, or just an ordinary person seeking inspiration.\u003cbr\u003eThe response of the viewers to my investigations around the World inspires me to continue with my work.

Instead of fulfilling the order with high-quality arms, Efraim Diveroli, David Packouz, and Alex Podrizki (the dudes) bought cheap Communist-style surplus ammunition from Balkan gunrunners. The trio then secretly repackaged millions of rounds of shoddy Chinese ammunition and shipped it to Kabul—until they were caught by Pentagon investigators and the scandal turned up on the front page of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThat’s the “official” story. The truth is far more explosive. For the first time, journalist Guy Lawson tells the thrilling true tale. It’s a trip that goes from a dive apartment in Miami Beach to mountain caves in Albania, the corridors of power in Washington, and the frontlines of Iraq and Afghanistan. Lawson’s account includes a shady Swiss gunrunner, Russian arms dealers, Albanian thugs, and a Pentagon investigation that caused ammunition shortages for the Afghanistan military. Lawson exposes the mysterious and murky world of global arms dealing, showing how the American military came to use private contractors like Diveroli, Packouz, and Podrizki as middlemen to secure weapons from illegal arms dealers—the same men who sell guns to dictators, warlords, and drug traffickers.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story you were never meant to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHoaxes \u0026amp; Deceptions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":47588309434558,"sku":"1451667604-4","price":12.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81d7dGhDD7L.jpg?v=1779990313"},{"product_id":"0553290487-death_in_white_bear_lake_the_true_chronicle_of_an_all-_american_town","title":"Death in White Bear Lake: The True Chronicle of an All-American Town","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eRecounts the brutal murder of four-year-old Dennis Jurgens in 1965 by his adoptive parents, and Dennis's birth mother's discovery of the truth more than twenty years later\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":47596884328638,"sku":"0553290487-4","price":12.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61wC5l0kT2L.jpg?v=1780320608"},{"product_id":"0670882925-murder_most_foul","title":"Murder Most Foul","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBook by Haines, Max\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":47703813030078,"sku":"0670882925-3","price":20.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71SpTPeoYLL.jpg?v=1782237067"},{"product_id":"0374288909-that_used_to_be_us_how_america_fell_behind_in_the_world_it_invented_and_how_we_can_come_back","title":"That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eMakes Recommendations For Meeting Four Major Challenges Currently Facing The United States, Including Globalization, The Information Technology Revolution, Chronic Deficits, And Unbalanced Energy Consumption.

It is more sophisticated, with many college graduates, gifted with organizational genius, all belonging to twenty-four tightly knit \"families,\" who have corrupted legitimate business and infiltrated some of the highest levels of local, state, and federal government. Their power reaches into Congress, into the executive and judicial branches, police agencies, and labor unions, and into such business enterprises as real estate, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, linen-supply houses, and garbage-collection routes.  How does organized crime operate? How dangerous is it? What are the implications for American society? How may we cope with it? In answering these questions, Cressey asserts that because organized crime provides illicit goods and services demanded by legitimate society, it has become part of legitimate society. This fascinating account reveals the parallels: the growth of specialization, \"big-business practices\" (pooling of capital and reinvestment of profits; fringe benefits like bail money), and government practices (negotiated settlements and peace treaties, defined territories, fair-trade agreements).  For too long we have, as a society, concerned ourselves only with superficial questions about organized crime. Theft of the Nation focuses on to a more profound and searching level. Of course, organized crime exists. Cressey not only establishes this fact, but proceeds to explore it rigorously and with penetration. One need not agree with everything Cressey writes to conclude that no one, after the publication of Theft of the Nation, can be knowledgeable about organized crime without having read this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eOrganized Crime\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"New York: Harper \u0026 Row, Publishers, 1969","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48165656527038,"sku":"0060901748-4","price":21.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41kEiFvePuL._SL500.jpg?v=1784121150"},{"product_id":"1573562149-encyclopedia_of_women_and_crime","title":"Encyclopedia of Women and Crime","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first reference work to offer the wealth of material on women and crime to a general audience.

Criminologists, policewomen, lawyers, and judges are covered to some extent, but the emphasis is on women as either perpetrators or victims of crime. In entries ranging from a paragraph to several pages, the contributors cover topics ranging from the earliest reports on female criminals to the latest issues, such as the criminalization of pregnancy (in which pregnant women who use drugs are charged with child abuse, assault, or homicide). Large topics, such as Feminist Criminology or Battered Women and Self-Defense, have separate essays for different countries, allowing the researcher to compare and contrast the different perspectives. A particularly useful feature is the Topic Finder, which helps the user locate all the relevant entries on such areas as Victims and Victimology or Policing, though it doesn't cover all areas of potential interest.

A model officer and elite pilot, he was trusted with flying international dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth, as well as commanding Canada's most important military airbase. Yet his dark and violent secret life included breaking into 82 homes of girls and women; thefts of vast amounts of lingerie (which he dressed in); two bizarre sexual assaults that left an uncomprehending Ontario village on a knife's-edge; and eventually, two rape-murders. When police raided Williams's home - a home he shared with his wife, a respected professional in her own right who was apparently completely unaware of her husband's unconscionable double life - they found hundreds of pairs of women's underwear, meticulously organized and catalogued. In this book, veteran Globe and Mail crime reporter Tim Appleby chronicles a true story that could have been lifted from the darkest pages of pulp fiction, one that offers fascinating - and troubling - insights on human psychopathology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Vintage Canada","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48192520880318,"sku":"0307359514-4","price":18.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81Wj1UwrUUL.jpg?v=1784910968"},{"product_id":"1608192113-el_narco_inside_mexicos_criminal_insurgency","title":"El Narco: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe world has watched stunned at the bloodshed in Mexico. Thirty thousand murdered since 2006; police chiefs shot within hours of taking office; mass graves comparable to those of civil wars; car bombs shattering storefronts; headless corpses heaped in town squares. And it is all because a few Americans are getting high. Or is it? The United States throws Black Hawk helicopters and drug agents at the problem. But in secret, Washington is confused and divided about what to do. Who are these mysterious figures tearing Mexico apart? they wonder. What is El Narco?El Narco draws the first definitive portrait of Mexico's drug cartels and how they have radically transformed in the last decade. El Narco is not a gang; it is a movement and an industry drawing in hundreds of thousands from bullet-ridden barrios to marijuana-growing mountains.

Simpson Case","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlan Dershowitz, one of the foremost legal thinkers of our time, explores a series of questions raised by the most watched criminal trial in American history. Through this brilliant, bold, and eye-opening account of the O.J. Simpson case, he exposes the realities of the criminal justice system of this country. Widely recognized as America's leading appellate attorney and by any measure a great lawyer. Dershowitz was the man chosen to prepare the appeal if Simpson had been convicted. Now Professor Dershowitz steps back from that role, not to defend the defense team, nor even to plead the case for his client's innocence. Instead, he uses the case to examine the larger issues and to identify the social forces - media, money, gender, and race - that shape the criminal justice system in America today.\u003c\/p\u003e Andrew Ross \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a shame that such a talented lawyer -- and engaged thinker -- as Alan Dershowitz has become little more than a self-appointed consigliere for high society's better-known scumballs and bottom-feeders. But you have to hand it to the defender of such lowlifes as Leona Helmsley, Michael Milken, Claus von Bulow, Mike Tyson, New York slumlord Rabbi Bergman, and O.J. Simpson: like the Energizer Bunny, he just keeps on going, defending the indefensible whether it be in court, on Nightline, in front of his Harvard Law School classes, or between the covers of quickie books. And though Alan Dershowitz has become one of those lawyers society is growing to hate, he makes a good case that in our constitutional system, someone has to do it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eReasonable Doubts\u003c\/i\u003e, Dershowitz, hired as O.J. Simpson's God forbid appeals lawyer, adds little to what the more careful followers of the crime of the century already know. He effectively summarizes what was wrong, from a jury's point of view, with the prosecution's case: the knowing use of perjured testimony from members of the LAPD, the embrace of maniacal bigot Detective Mark Fuhrman, blood evidence that was often curious at best and tainted at worst, and the over-reliance on prior domestic abuse as a sufficiently persuasive motive for murder. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, Dershowitz makes little attempt to establish O.J.'s innocence (in fact, one suspects he thinks him probably guilty), but persuasively argues that the jury was given plenty of ammunition for reasonable doubt. That jury may have contained some of the dumbest people on the planet, but Dershowitz asks what any of us would have done as jurors faced with the incredible amount of obviously hinky and incompetent behaviour by L.A's finest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGossip? None. Dershowitz lavishes praise on Robert Schapiro for laying down the pre-trial strategy -- hiring the best technical experts in the country, concentrating on the forensic weaknesses of the case -- which enabled the defense to outthink and outsmart the prosecution at virtually every turn. And he excoriates Marcia Clark for what he says was her often unethical and hysterical behaviour in Lance Ito' s courtroom. He also provides some Criminal Law 101 style lectures which the reader will either find educational or tiresome. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLessons? Not as many as the book's hype will lead you to believe. Basically, says Dershowitz, all is well with the U.S. legal system. Such bromides may not convince those appalled by the O.J. travesty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDershowitz does concede that it would be nice if indigent defendants were afforded the same kind of representation as O.J. And he hammers hard for one reform: the need to root out the kind of police perjury that occurs routinely in criminal cases, and that in this particular case, probably enabled a guilty man to walk free. -- \u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Topics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eLaw Enforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Touchstone","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48711637205182,"sku":"068483264X-4","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71w1Ka6ZX6L.jpg?v=1786642570"},{"product_id":"0966816021-truth_is_a_lonely_warrior","title":"Truth Is a Lonely Warrior","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-five years after publication of The Shadows of Power, James Perloff returns to the venue of political history, and takes you where the mass media won’t.• Who benefited from the mysterious sinking of the USS Maine?• Why did President Woodrow Wilson order the manifest of the torpedoed Lusitania hidden in the archives of the U.S. Treasury?• After the official inquiry into the Pearl Harbor attack, why did Admiral Kimmel and General Short – the commanders at Pearl Harbor – want to be court-martialed?• Why was the Soviet Union given control of North Korea after World War II, when the Soviets did nothing to win the war in the Pacific?• What did Congressional Medal of Honor recipient James Stockdale reveal about Tonkin Gulf (the event used to justify intervention in Vietnam)?• How did “Operation Rockingham” lead America into the Iraq war?• Since its founding in 1921, what small organization has produced 21 Secretaries of Defense\/War, 19 Treasury Secretaries, 18 Secretaries of State, and 16 CIA directors?• How did Jimmy Carter go from a generally unknown figure to Presidential nominee in just seven months?• Why has America had decades of destructive inflation (understated recently by the Consumer Price Index), when there was zero NET inflation from the days of the Pilgrims until the early 20th century?• Why did the Vietnam War last 14 years – and end in defeat – when it took us only 3 and ½ years to win World War II?• What did the head of the Ford Foundation tell Congressional investigator Norman Dodd that made him “nearly fall off the chair”?• Is it possible that many kings and other monarchs of past centuries were not as evil as they’ve been portrayed?• What American capitalists were given landing rights for their private jets in Moscow – at the height of the Cold War? • What KGB defector predicted glasnost five years in advance – yet was ignored by the major media?• Who is at the top of the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill?• Why was the USS Liberty attacked in 1967, and why was there no Congressional investigation?• The official explanation of 9-11 – where do we BEGIN to name the holes?• Were the Beatles a set-up?• Who financed ecumenism and the decline of Christian faith?• What are world elitists saying about population control?• What are courageous doctors revealing about vaccines that the major media won’t report?• Does weather control go beyond seeding clouds?
