Dewey Decimal Number: 031.02 Format: Bargain Price Label: Disinformation Company Manufacturer: Disinformation Company Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 143 Publication Date: November 15, 2004 Publisher: Disinformation Company Studio: Disinformation Company Editorial Review: Product Description: Russ Kick has proved himself a master at uncovering facts that "they" would prefer you never hear about. The giant Disinformation Guide series edited by Kick has become the definitive place to find revelations about government cover-ups, scientific scams, corporate crimes, medical malfeasance, historical whitewashes, media manipulation, and other knock-your-socks-off secrets and lies. This CD-sized book packs the same powerful punch in a small, attractive package. Among Kick's amazing discoveries, all thoroughly documented: The first genetically modified humans have already been born. Hitler's blood relatives are living in the U.S. The CIA commits over 100,000 serious crimes per year. The U.S. planned to explode an atomic bomb on the moon. An atomic bomb was dropped on North Carolina. The main hero of the movie Black Hawk Down is a convicted child molester. The discoverer of HIV no longer believes the virus is the sole cause of AIDS. Kent State wasn't the only massacre of U.S. college students during the Vietnam era. Lincoln didn't free any slaves. A uniquely valuable tool to debunk modern mythology and the people and institutions serving it up, 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know makes an amazing gift item and will prove just as essential in fashionable bathrooms as on the most well-heeled coffee tables. Average Rating:
 Rating: - No mind blowing information here.This is entitled _50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know_. It should be entitled _50 Quasi-interesting Factoids_. Nothing in here is mind blowing, or revolutionary, or scary: a Pope wrote an erotic book? Wow, now that's something to pull your hair out over--I think everyone wishes clergy would only write books and keep their hands to themselves. Jurors can question the law. Most people may not have known this, but knowing this makes no difference unless you broadcast it on TV; also, do we really want ... Read More Rating:  - not recommendedThis book is nowhere near the others like it and the topics it covers are boring. Dont waste your time or your money. Rating:  - Getting the Truth OutI got this little book in a package of discount books I received a little while ago. I didn't know anything about it and I wasn't aware it was a sequel to another book I hadn't even read when I flipped through it and began reading. It turned out to be a fun way to spend an hour or so. I like "trivia" books like this one. Of course, the conceit behind this one is that we're being told "things we're not supposed to know." Some of the claims made here are debatable but there are also many ... Read More Rating: - Mixed bag---a few bombshells, but mostly hyperboleThis 1/4" thick, 4x6 index card of a book touts itself as a "take-no-prisoners" exposé when it is, in fact, merely a collection of random "shocking" trivia. Sadly, the few real bombshells that the book DOES contain are overwhelmed by the hyperbolic tone of the rest. Here are the bombshells, facts that might make us seriously re-evaluate our relationship with those in power: - The US is Planning to Provoke Terrorist Attacks - Kent State Wasn't the Only---or Even the First---Massacre ... Read More Rating: - Make sure you read the product details!!!I paid full retail for this "book" and when I got it, I was disappointed; it is more like a pamphlet! It's about 120 pages and the dimentions are 5" X 5". It's just tiny!!!! I know that the dimensions are listed in the product details portion of the ad, but who the hell reads that; I thought for $10 I would get a "real" book! I wouldn't pay more than two or three dollars for this book and it should be a lot less than that in my opinion. All of the information contained could be found on any "strange facts" ...
