Dialogues on the Delta
This collection of essays examines the city of Stockton, California from an interdisciplinary perspective. Stockton is in the heart of the Central Valley, an agricultural region that comprises a diverse population and rich history. This book covers the economic downturn of the city that was ground zero for the housing market crisis during the Great Recession, which resulted in it becoming the first major American city to declare bankruptcy. Nevertheless, the city cannot be framed only on its economic misfortunes; Stockton has a vibrant community with important historical figures such as Martín Ramírez, an outsider painter who was a patient in the Stockton State Hospital. This book also cov...
A Lie Too Big to Fail
In A Lie Too Big to Fail, longtime Kennedy researcher (of both JFK and RFK) Lisa Pease lays out, in meticulous detail, how witnesses with evidence of conspiracy were silenced by the Los Angeles Police Department; how evidence was deliberately altered and, in some instances, destroyed; and how the justice system and the media failed to present the truth of the case to the public. Pease reveals how the trial was essentially a sham, and how the prosecution did not dare to follow where the evidence led. A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-control...

Skylar
If you have never been bullied at any time in your life, then Skylar is probably not the book for you. On the other hand, if you or someone you know has experienced bullying, then Skylar is a book you will enjoy, and in all probability, will be able to relate to. As a young boy, Skylar went through a great deal of torture at the hands of other children. Not only did he have the burden of being persecuted by others, but he also had to deal with the fact that he was the youngest son of a legendary high school football coach. In addition to being forced to deal with that reality, he also was a younger brother to the most popular minister in town. Skylar realized that he and he only would need t...
Active Measures
We live in an age of subterfuge. Spy agencies pour vast resources into hacking, leaking, and forging data, often with the goal of weakening the very foundation of liberal democracy: trust in facts. Thomas Rid, a renowned expert on technology and national security, was one of the first to sound the alarm. Even before the 2016 election, he warned that Russian military intelligence was 'carefully planning and timing a high-stakes political campaign' to disrupt the democratic process. But as crafty as such so-called active measures have become, they are not new. In this astonishing journey through a century of secret psychological war, Rid reveals for the first time some of history's most significant operations - many of them nearly beyond belief. A White Russian ploy backfires and brings down a New York police commissioner; a KGB-engineered, anti-Semitic hate campaign creeps back across the Berlin Wall; the CIA backs a fake publishing empire, run by a former Wehrmacht U-boat commander that produces Germany's best jazz magazine.
Manipulando a História
Inúmeras vezes a história mundial foi manipulada com o objetivo de mudar seu curso e, consequentemente, transformar mentiras absurdas em verdades absolutas, fazendo uso de estratagemas (inclusive terrorismo) que países atribuem a terceiros, a fim de impor intervenções duvidosas, desestabilizar a ordem e desviá-la a seu favor, e até mesmo para justificar ações bélicas. Este livro, profundamente documentado e fruto de um rigoroso trabalho de jornalismo investigativo, percorre a história recente por meio de operações organizadas por Estados, serviços secretos e lobbies, com um único intuito: manipular certos acontecimentos a favor de interesses escusos. Eric Frattini nos apresenta, com base em documentos confidenciais tornados públicos e dezenas de imagens dos principais protagonistas e eventos, as maiores operações de falsa bandeira do mundo. Manipular a verdade, distorcer fatos, criar falsos inimigos, ludibriar a opinião pública... são estratégias antiquíssimas, mas ainda extremamente comuns e eficazes. Em Manipulando a História, o leitor descobrirá, estarrecido, que nem tudo que se sabe sobre a história contemporânea é o que parece ser.
