The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth From 9/11 to Katr
ina by Frank Rich Anyone who takes the time to read this book probably already knows the truth, it's just that Mr. Rich says it so much better.
"Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War"by Michael Isikoff & David Corn
What's left to say? The title pretty much says it all.
"The Conservative Nanny State" by Dean Baker, the director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. beatthepress.blogspot.comMr. Baker makes even the hardest law of economics easy to grasp, comprehend
and apply to our everyday business of living. In today's world of global businesses and unfair trade policies his book is a definite must read for every middle class citizen that still clings to the notion of free market values."Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers" by Brooke Allen.
Finally - a book that reveals the truth about our founding father's spiritual beliefs. You have to read this book if you want to speak articulately and accurately about the religious right's hijacking of America. These guys were so ahead of the curve they even fought over stamping our currency with "In God We Trust."Come on! These guys were rocking! Imagine if our
founding fathers had the mindset of George Bush and Cheney and Rove. In order too protect us from British terrorists there never would have been constitutional laws protecting the citizenry. Look at Bagdad and what's been happening to our Alienable Rights and what just went down with Habea Corpus. Even if you don't believe in God you've got to suspect there was some kind of spiritual energy protecting this country in 1776. Otherwise there would have been no way we would have made it this far - Amen!
"The Treatment of Anxiety and Panic with Bach Flower Remedies"by yours truly.
My book will provide the perfect elixir to neutralize the high anxiety you're going to feel after reading the four books ahead of me.

Christmas in Tokyo

July 13th, 1987, US Senate votes to prohibit Toshiba from selling products in the US for 2 to 5 years. "The sanction vote was intended to punish Toshiba, whose 50.1%-owned Toshiba Machine subsidiary joined with Kongsberg to sell the Soviet Union top-secret sensitive propellor technology that enabled Russian attack submarines to move more quietly underwater and thus escape detection by US forces."

December 16th, 2006, Westinghouse, now owned by Toshiba, wins award to sell China four nuclear reactors. The $8B deal also requires transfer of US nuclear power technology to the (still Red Communist and trading bloc partner to Iran) Chinese, so China can become the new global discount price leader. "The US, which is running a record trade deficit with China, estimated that the deal would create more than 5,000 American jobs. At the heart of the deal was the promise of a transfer of US nuclear technology from the US firm to China, analysts said."
So for 5,000 temp jobs ... and 12 silver shekhels ... the US State Department gives away US nuclear technology to China and Iran, then turns right around and demands of US taxpayers another $100B and 30,000 fresh recruits to fight a two-front war against Iran, on the pretext of stabilizing an Iraq civil war that our CiC deliberately destabilized!
