You Are Still Being Lied To - The New Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths

Russ Kick

Sinopsis

This revised and updated edition of the classic myth-busting anthology shines a harsh light on the disinformation of government, mass media and more.   In 2001, Russ Kick’s You Are Being Lied To became a cultural phenomenon, spreading the eye-opening insights of writers like Noam Chomsky, Howard Bloom and others to the masses. Now Kick returns with You Are STILL Being Lied To, a thoroughly updated edition that contains more than a dozen all-new essays from contributors like Norman Solomon, Graham Hancock, Alex Jones, John Major Jenkins, Robert Bauval, Richard DeGrandpre, Alexandra Bruce, John Hogue, Gregory Davis, and Scott Creighton. These outspoken authors tackle topics ranging from the misleading marketing of antidepressants to the truth about the North American Union, media consolidation, and the New Thought movement.   This massive collection dismantles the distortions, myths, and outright lies propagated by the government, the media, corporations, organized religion, the scientific establishment, and others who want to keep the truth from us. An unprecedented group of researchers including Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Howard Bloom, Sydney Schanberg, Michael Parenti, Riane Eisler, Jim Marrs, and many others reveal how crucial stories are suppressed, real dangers are down-played, and nonexistent dangers are trumpeted in a world where you are still being lied to.

History of England from the...

David Hume

David Hume is one of the great philosophers of the Western intellectual tradition. His philosophical writings earned him lasting fame and renown; his historical writing earned his bread and butter. His "The History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688", published between 1754 and 1764, was immensely popular and Hume wrote that "the copy-money given me by the booksellers much exceeded any thing formerly known in England; I was become not only independent, but opulent." The six volume work has had numerous editions and is still in print today. David Hume and Thomas Babington Macaulay have frequently been compared as the premier English historians but we don't have to choose because Macaulay begins where Hume leaves off.This is Volume 1F which covers the reign of Charles II and James II.

Ginger Baker of Cream: In...

Geoffrey Giuliano

Ginger Baker is, without question, one of the foremost drummers of his generation, having formed the supergroups Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, Geoffrey Giuliano received an unsolicited call from Mr. Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two men. While the book they wrote has yet to be published, here, at last, are the in-depth, upfront, and personal conversations the two unlikely friends recorded in a western New York studio all those years ago. Ginger speaks his mind holding forth on the particulars of his amazing life and work and in so doing reveals something he has always ardently tried to hide — that he is really a lovely, caring, sensitive man.
For everyone interested in the history, art, and cultural significance of the popular music of the 20th century, this series is a once-in-a-lifetime must-have audio event. Perfect for universities and all educational media.
