Books may not be as popular as they once were, but in this modern environment of constant deception and mind programming, I still rate them as the best way to present information.
While the deep state is putting so much of their resources into producing appalling videos for zombie like audiences to watch on their cell phones, some books fully explain their subjects, and reveal all sorts of secrets that will never be found in TikTok videos.
I check out quite a few books because I
download literally thousands of eBooks, and if I don't find a book
engrossing I don't usually persist with reading it for long. So any book I read in full and do a
post about is one that I highly recommend.
This "RECOMMENDED READING" page is a compilation of my recommended book posts. They are in reverse chronological order of original publishing date, and it includes books I like & recommend, both non-fiction and fiction.
These are mainly just copy and pastes from Amazon, because I can't be bothered writing book reviews. I'm not a fan of Amazon and don't actually buy anything from them, but their website is really handy for copying stuff from.
2020 - Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
A New York Times Bestseller
A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020
Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR
“A
fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of
the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a
long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love
No
matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise
you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.
There
is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing:
take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet,
as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with
grave consequences.
Journalist James Nestor travels the world to
figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found
in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of
ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir
schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and
women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices
like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary
tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.
Modern
research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way
we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate
internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even
straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it
is.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent
cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human
physiology, Breath turns
the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic
biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
2020 - The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life
This book reveals the concealed history of how electricity is destroying our health, and it's a fascinating read. Certainly there is more than enough evidence to alert everyone to the dangers of 5G, WiFi, & cell phones. Not that most people will take much notice, but the evidence is fully laid out.
5g
is being rolled out across the country, despite growing evidence that
it is disruptive to our health, our safety, and the environment. The
Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it's
never been told before--exposing its very real impact on the biosphere
and human health.
Over
the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that
electricity is 'safe' for humanity and the planet. Scientist and
journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the
story of electricity in a way it has never been told before--from an
environmental point of view--by detailing the effects that this
fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our
planet.
In The
Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from
the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case
that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of
industrialized civilization--heart disease, diabetes, and cancer--are
related to electrical pollution.
Few
individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific
subject and present it in a highly engaging manner. Firstenberg has
done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of
our technological age. - BRADLEY JOHNSON, MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco
This seminal book will transform your understanding.of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies.
2020 - Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties
This book reveals the secret conspiracy behind one of the biggest American deep state psyops from the 60's, and as usual the reality doesn't have much in common with the official narrative. Yet again the entire mainstream story is fake, as they usually are.
A
journalist's twenty-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to
"gobsmacking" (The Ringer) new revelations about the FBI's involvement
in this "kaleidoscopic" (The New York Times) reassessment of an infamous
case in American history.
Over
two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson
murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight
months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson
Family followed their leader's every order -- their crimes lit a flame
of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the sixties.
Manson
became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever
attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was
as possible as brainwashing, and utopia -- or dystopia -- was just an
acid trip away.
Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill
was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was
nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up
behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal
misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.
When
a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi - prosecutor of the Manson
Family and author of Helter Skelter -- turned a friendly source into a
nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought
more questions:
Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties?
Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him?
And how did Manson -- an illiterate ex-con -- turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers?
O'Neill's
quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned
spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the
CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and
suspicious coincidences.
The
product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and
dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the
CIA, Chaos mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles
Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the
verdicts on the Manson murders.
2018 - Musical Truth 2
In
his groundbreaking book ‘Musical Truth,’ DJ-turned author/ researcher
Mark Devlin showed how the true nature of the corporate music industry
tells a very different story to what’s conveyed on its glossy, glamorous
surface.
The manipulations run so deep, however, that the full story couldn’t
be told in just that first book. Here, in Volume 2, he continues to
guide readers through the dark labyrinth of machinations.
Discover the world of Lifetime Actors and the crucial part they play
in social engineering; delve into Heavy Rock, frequently touted as the
most ‘satanic’ of all music genres; consider the evidence for the
hip-hop scene being a cult-like fraternity on a staggering scale;
reflect on the nature of sound itself and the ways it can be used to
affect human behaviour; and study the striking parallels between the
1960s counter-culture and the UK’s Acid House scene that kicked off 21
years later, all bearing the hallmarks of Establishment manipulation.
Crucially, Volume 2 reminds readers of how the music industry’s
activities form only one small part of what’s really going on in this
reality, and how the power to bring it all to an end lies with us and us
alone. It always has. We’ve just been programmed to forget.
2016 - Musical Truth: Exposing the mind-control manipulations of the corporate music industry ... and how to take back our power
To
most people, the music industry represents a source of harmless fun and
entertainment. Beneath the glossy veneer, however, lies the devastating
truth of who really controls these institutions, and the deeply
malevolent agendas for which they're being used.
Mark Devlin is a long-standing DJ and music journalist. ‘Musical
Truth’ is the culmination of his five years’ of research into the true
nature of the industry and its objectives—from dark occult rituals, to
mind-controlled artists, and all points in between. The book shows how
these agendas fit into the much wider picture of what’s really going on
in the world, and—crucially—how the power lies with us to bring it to an
end.
2014 - The Race to Truth: Blowing the whistle on Lance Armstrong and cycling's doping culture
After reading more than a dozen
books about Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the culture of
doping, Tyler Hamilton's book was my pick for #1, but this one is a close second.
When
Emma O'Reilly joined the US Postal cycling team in 1996, she could have
had no idea how she would become a central figure in the biggest doping
scandal in sporting history. Yet when Lance Armstrong, starting his
comeback from cancer, signed for US Postal, it was Emma, the only woman
on the team, who became his personal soigneur. This is the definitive
inside story of that time, and of the enormous repercussions that
resonate to this day for Emma, Lance and the whole sport.
Emma
had the strength to break cycling's omerta by speaking out against the
culture of doping. She thought she would be one of many whistleblowers,
doing what she believed was right. Isolated and shunned by the sport she
loved, however, her reputation was systematically destroyed. And yet
she had the courage to bounce back, and remarkably, to forgive those who
made her existence a living hell. This is the ultimate memoir of truth
and its many consequences.
2014 - Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippy Dream Paperback
The
very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a
1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a
magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to
create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent
times.
Members of bands like the Byrds, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield,
the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying
Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf,
CSN, Three Dog Night and Love, along with such singer/songwriters as
Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor and Carole King, lived
together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the
Hollywood Hills.
But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many
didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in
mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would
like to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his
murderous entourage.
Also floating about the periphery were various
political operatives, up-and-coming politicians and intelligence
personnel - the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock
stars populating the canyon. And all the canyon's colorful characters -
rock stars, hippies, murderers and politicos - happily coexisted
alongside a covert military installation.
2012 - The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs
Coming
from a background of being involved in cycling in the 90's I was well
aware of the drug use in pro cycling. I've read most of the popular
books about Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the culture of
doping. This is my favourite one - Tyler Hamilton really lays it all
out here, and it's engrossing.
On a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met
for dinner in Boulder, Colorado. Over the next eighteen months, Hamilton
would tell Coyle his story, and his sport's story, in explosive detail,
never sparing himself in the process. In a way, he became as obsessed
with telling the truth as he had been with winning the Tour de France
just a few years before. The truth would set Tyler free, but would also
be the most damning indictment yet of teammates like Lance Armstrong.
The result of this determination is The Secret Race,
a book that pulls back the curtain and takes us into the secret world
of professional cycling like never before. A world populated by
unbelievably driven – and some flawed – characters. A world where the
competition used every means to get an edge, and the options were stark.
A world where it often felt like there was no choice.

2008 - ALTERED CARBON
All
science fiction tends to be tainted by suspicions of being mind programming,
and this is certainly no exception. But despite being a story about AI
that was later made into a TV series by Netflix, I still think it's great. Up there
with the best sci-fi classics and certainly my pick of Richard Morgan's
books. This must-read story is a confident, action-and-violence packed
thriller, and future classic noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning
author.
Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a
region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization
discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional
sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human
consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded
into bodies as a matter of course.
But some things never change.
So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and
skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and
presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn't be surprised.
Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body,
Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known
space and to the very top of society.
1961 - CATCH-22
“Catch-22"
is a satirical novel written by Joseph Heller, first published in 1961.
The book is set during World War II and follows the experiences of
Captain John Yossarian, an American bombardier stationed on a fictional
Mediterranean island.
The title refers to a paradoxical military
regulation that states if a pilot requests a mental evaluation to avoid
dangerous missions, they are deemed insane, but their desire to avoid
danger proves their sanity, thus trapping them in a cycle of illogical
reasoning.
The novel explores the absurdity and bureaucracy of war,
highlighting the struggles and moral dilemmas faced by the characters.
Through dark humor and sharp wit, Heller critiques the dehumanizing
effects of war and the illogical systems that perpetuate it.
1939 - Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
An
epic study demonstrating the importance of whole food nutrition, and
the degeneration and destruction that comes from a diet of processed
foods.
For nearly 10 years, Weston Price and his wife
traveled around the world in search of the secret to health. Instead of
looking at people afflicted with disease symptoms, this highly-respected
dentist and dental researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals,
and challenged himself to understand how they achieved such amazing
health.
Dr. Price traveled to hundreds of cities in a total of 14
different countries in his search to find healthy people. He
investigated some of the most remote areas in the world. He observed
perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to
tuberculosis and overall excellent health in those groups of people who
ate their indigenous foods.
He found when these people were introduced
to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable
oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became quite
evident. Dental caries, deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth,
arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became rampant amongst
them. Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom including hundreds of
photos in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is available to read free online
