  The New World Order – H.G. Wells. One of the central texts in explaining the psychopathic drive of elitists to enslave the world in a unified empire. H. G. Wells was an insider with a British group tasked with the revival of their once great empire—this time in conjunction with Venetian Black Nobility Khazar bankers (not mentioned this explicitly in the book). Wells evidently grew less sympathetic to their aims as time went on, and published a version of the plans for public consumption in this and other books. Needless to say, the cabal bent on world domination were displeased with Wells’ cavalier candor (perhaps they misjudged him all along), and destroyed nearly all such books.

  NOT Accountable - Rethinking the...

  "Elected leaders come and go, but public unions just say no." Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. 
   
   
   
  Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. 
   
   
   
  The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public.

  The Acharnians

  Aristophanes

  The Acharnians, one of Aristophanes’ earliest surviving comedies, is a sharp and entertaining critique of war and politics in ancient Athens. Written during the Peloponnesian War, the play follows Dicaeopolis, a weary farmer who takes matters into his own hands by negotiating a private peace with Sparta, defying the city’s warmongering leaders. As he enjoys the benefits of peace—wine, trade, and personal freedom—he faces opposition from the chorus of Acharnian charcoal-burners, staunch supporters of the war. Through absurdity, satire, and bold humor, Aristophanes challenges Athenian militarism and exposes the folly of political opportunism. Blending fantasy with pointed social commentary, The Acharnians champions individual reason and peace over nationalistic zeal, offering a timeless reflection on the costs of war and the courage to seek alternatives.

  At a moment in which our everyday practice of democracy has atrophied, and political, economic, and technological forces have weakened our capacity for collective action, People, Power, Change is a once-in-a-generation book for anyone who wants to create real and lasting change. 
   
  Marshall Ganz is one of the world’s leading authorities on democratic leadership, organizing, and action and this book is the culmination of his decades of teaching, research, and practice. In People, Power, Change Ganz offers students, educators, and organizers access to the craft he has learned, adapted, and shared over the last half-century of creating effective collective action. It is not a blueprint, but a road map.  
   
  Ganz explores the values, ideas, and craft core to the practice of organizing and offers an actionable framework for how to actually do it. He focuses the book on the creation and substance of relationships, the fuel of values and narrative, the resources and power of strategy, the necessity of structure, and the accountability of action. Across these five organizing practices, Ganz weaves in his personal experiences from a lifetime of organizing in iconic social movements and campaigns to illustrate how collective action actually works and to build the practices and skills that must be developed to do it with intention and with success.
