Summary

Pointless Political Speeches examines the pervasive issue of empty rhetoric in the political sphere. It explores how politicians often deliver speeches that, while sounding impressive, lack substance and meaningful information. The book investigates the techniques used to create these ambiguous messages, such as complex sentence structures and emotional appeals instead of facts. It also highlights the motivations behind vague communication, including avoiding controversial topics and appealing to a broad audience. This analysis reveals that the proliferation of meaningless political rhetoric erodes public trust and undermines informed democracy.

 
Did you know that some speeches strategically use ambiguous language to avoid accountability? Or that the reliance on clichés often signals a lack of original thought?

 
The book progresses by first defining what constitutes a "pointless" speech and then analyzing the methods employed to craft them. Later chapters include case studies of specific politicians and their speeches, dissecting instances of empty rhetoric.

 
Ultimately, Pointless Political Speeches empowers citizens to identify and resist manipulative rhetoric, encouraging them to demand more meaningful communication from their leaders. By offering a critical analysis of political communication, the book equips readers with the tools to critically evaluate political discourse and become more engaged participants in the democratic process.

    Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
     
     
     
    What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

    Shrouded in myth and conspiracy, the history of the Knights Templar is little understood. Geordie Torr pulls fact from fiction, revealing the astonishing tale of this military-religious order that dominated the politics of the medieval Middle East. 
     
    Initially created to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land in the wake of the First Crusade, the Templars soon became an institution of incredible power, possessing wealth and influence throughout the courts of Europe. Yet just two centuries later they dramatically fell as its members were accused of heresy and burned at the stake, though some were believed to have survive and secretly kept serving God. 
     
    Clearly and chronologically written, this book brings to life the legacy of this secretive order and the characters who defined the era, making it an informative and enjoyable read.
