Challenging the Secret Government
Author: Kathryn S. Olmsted
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 080786370X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Just four months after Richard Nixon's resignation, New York Times reporter Seymour Hersh unearthed a new case of government abuse of power: the CIA had launched a domestic spying program of Orwellian proportions against American dissidents during the Vietnam War. The country's best investigative journalists and members of Congress quickly mobilized to probe a scandal that seemed certain to rock the foundations of this secret government. Subsequent investigations disclosed that the CIA had plotted to kill foreign leaders and that the FBI had harassed civil rights and student groups. Some called the scandal 'son of Watergate.' Many observers predicted that the investigations would lead to far-reaching changes in the intelligence agencies. Yet, as Kathryn Olmsted shows, neither the media nor Congress pressed for reforms. For all of its post-Watergate zeal, the press hesitated to break its long tradition of deference in national security coverage. Congress, too, was unwilling to challenge the executive branch in national security matters. Reports of the demise of the executive branch were greatly exaggerated, and the result of the 'year of intelligence' was a return to the status quo. American History/Journalism

Security cameras, surveillance of your financial transactions, radio frequency spy chips hidden in consumer products, tracking of your Internet searches, and eavesdropping on your e-mail and phone calls.

An ultra-secret global elite, functioning as a very real shadow government, controls technology, finance, international law, world trade, political power, and vast military capabilities.

Raven Rock
Author: Garrett M. Graff
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147673545X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
Now a 6-part mini-series called Why the Rest of Us Die airing on VICE TV! The shocking truth about the government’s secret plans to survive a catastrophic attack on US soil—even if the rest of us die—is “a frightening eye-opener” (Kirkus Reviews) that spans the dawn of the nuclear age to today, and "contains everything one could possibly want to know" (The Wall Street Journal). Every day in Washington, DC, the blue-and-gold first Helicopter Squadron, codenamed “MUSSEL,” flies over the Potomac River. As obvious as the Presidential motorcade, most people assume the squadron is a travel perk for VIPs. They’re only half right: while the helicopters do provide transport, the unit exists to evacuate high-ranking officials in the event of a terrorist or nuclear attack on the capital. In the event of an attack, select officials would be whisked by helicopters to a ring of secret bunkers around Washington, even as ordinary citizens were left to fend for themselves. “In exploring the incredible lengths (and depths) that successive administrations have gone to in planning for the aftermath of a nuclear assault, Graff deftly weaves a tale of secrecy and paranoia” (The New York Times Book Review) with details "that read like they've been ripped from the pages of a pulp spy novel" (Vice). For more than sixty years, the US government has been developing secret Doomsday strategies to protect itself, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its potential to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the plans to launch nuclear missiles from a Boeing-747 jet flying high over Nebraska. Garrett M. Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound, called Raven Rock, just miles from Camp David, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War, from the White House lawn to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to Palm Beach, Florida, and the secret plans that would have kicked in after a Cold War nuclear attack to round up foreigners and dissidents and nationalize industries. Equal parts a presidential, military, and cultural history, Raven Rock tracks the evolution of the government plan and the threats of global war from the dawn of the nuclear era through the War on Terror.

The Secret Government
Author: Ismael Perez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781604022599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
In his shocking book, The Secret Government, author Ismael Perez exposes the existence and purpose of a secret society which has been in existence since pre-Biblical times. Perez uncovers a secret government, an underground society of the worlds most influential leaders, working together to form one government. The society, known by many as The Secret Government, includes world leaders, politicians, religious organizations, corporations, and some of the most influential families in history. Its purpose is to mold world events, using calamities, assassinations, diseases, terrorism, and political elections, in their quest for world domination and control. They have been the power behind most of the worlds empires and institutions and have maintained their stronghold over the earth through secrecy, conspiracy, manipulation, division and wars.Taking the reader through history, Ismael Perez exposes the workings of this dark, hidden hand society as they attempt to bring all nations under their control. From the days of Adam and Eve, their bloodline has evolved and is currently behind the economic, political, and social corruption facing the world today. The Secret Government reveals the real reasons behind the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the assassinations of presidents, as well as their method of economic dominance through control of the worlds banking system. From the highest echelons of world organizations, Perez provides proof that this dark brotherhood exists in the United Nations, the pharmaceutical companies, in organized religion, as well as the political arena.Years of research performed by Perez and other truth seekers bring these undeniable truths to light. It is time to familiarize ourselves with the meaning of the great awakening in relationship to the declining power of the dark forces. The great awakening has long been prophesied, and its taking place for many people who are becoming aware. The disclosure of the oppressive forces will be a great step in the awakening process, states Perez. Through The Secret Government, he shows us how we can use this information to change our future and prepare for the final conflict between Good and Evil, only then can the full restoration of the earth take place and we can begin the age of light marked by brotherhood, peace, justice, and freedom.The Secret Government is the first book written by Ismael Perez, and is based on extensive study of the Bible, as well as many political, historical, economic, and social events and documents throughout history. Perez is currently researching his next book, Our Cosmic (Divine) Beginning.

The United States of Fear
Author: Tom Engelhardt
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608461548
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In 2008, when the U.S. National Intelligence Council issued its latest report meant for the administration of newly elected President Barack Obama, it predicted that the planet's "sole superpower" would suffer a modest decline and a soft landing fifteen years hence. In his new book The United States of Fear, Tom Engelhardt makes clear that Americans should don their crash helmets and buckle their seat belts, because the United States is on the path to a major decline at a startling speed. Engelhardt offers a savage anatomy of how successive administrations in Washington took the "Soviet path"--pouring American treasure into the military, war, and national security--and so helped drive their country off the nearest cliff. This is the startling tale of how fear was profitably shot into the national bloodstream, how the country--gripped by terror fantasies--was locked down, and how a brain-dead Washington elite fiddled (and profited) while America quietly burned. Think of it as the story of how the Cold War really ended, with the triumphalist "sole superpower" of 1991 heading slowly for the same exit through which the Soviet Union left the stage twenty years earlier.

A Nation Unmade by War
Author: Tom Engelhardt
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608469026
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
“In his searing new book . . . Engelhardt has composed a requiem for a nation turned upside down by the relentless pursuit of global power” (Karen J. Greenberg, author of Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State). As veteran author Tom Engelhardt argues, despite having a more massive, technologically advanced, and better-funded military than any other power on the planet, in the last decade and a half of constant war across the greater Middle East and parts of Africa, the United States has won nothing. Its unending wars, in fact, have only contributed to a world growing more chaotic by the second. “The violence, destruction, and suffering resulting from the imperial arrogance of Bush, Cheney, and cohorts have proceeded on their shocking course while most Americans, Tom Engelhardt writes, were ‘only half paying attention.’ Regular readers of his incisive, lucid, and brutally informative columns could not fail to pay attention and to be appalled at what was revealed. Their impact is all the more forceful in this collection, which casts a brilliant and horrifying light on a sordid chapter of history, far from closed.” —Noam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of Hopes and Prospects “No one has had a keener eye for American militarism, hypocrisy, and flat-out folly than Tom Engelhardt.” —John W. Dower, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering “The mainstream media call it the ‘Age of Trump.’ Tom Engelhardt knows better: It’s the ‘Era of America Unhinged.’ This new collection of essays gives us Engelhardt at his very best: incisive, impassioned, and funny even, in a time of great darkness.” —Andrew J. Bacevich, New York Times–bestselling author “Tom Engelhardt is a tireless analyst of the miseries of American Empire . . . [an] indispensable book.” —Juan Cole, professor of history at the University of Michigan
