An Abusive Relationship With “Mafia Don”

Dear Problem-solver; My friend is stuck in an abusive relationship with an individual I’ll call “Mafia Don”. This problem has existed for years, but last November things really went bad. Mafia Don refuses to let certain guests visit. He has started to tear up the yard and gardens. He won’t help pay for food and […]

Buzzfeed: Trump Obsessed With Surveillance

Considering Trump has been yammering on about being “wiretapped” by the Obama administration, and our previous article about the possibility that the British GCHQ spy agency may have been used to do it (http://www.covertbookreport.com/yes-the-nsa-and-gchq-share-wiretaps/), this article from Buzzfeed has added gravity: Why Is Donald Trump So Obsessed With Surveillance? https://www.buzzfeed.com/aramroston/why-is-donald-trump-so-obsessed-with-surveillance?utm_term=.qbb3mkLDm#.lln7kaBdk (Excerpts) “At his private club […]

Yes, The NSA and GCHQ Share Wiretaps

The last two weeks have been a bizarre trip through previously unknown government surveillance techniques, and broached a subject between U.S. And British Intelligence agencies that most people were not aware of. On March 4th Trump Tweeted out (as he often does) that the Obama administration had secretly wiretapped Trump Tower before the election: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/timeline-president-trumps-unsubstantiated-wiretapping-claims/story?id=46198888 […]

  • Review: “Continental Reckoning” By Elliot West
    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]
  • All About Ken Kesey: Two Reviews
    “Spit In The Ocean #7 – All about Kesey” is an eclectic collection of real tales about legendary Oregon writer Ken Kesey. Kesey is best known for writing “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” (mental institutions) and “Sometimes A Great Notion” (an Oregon logging family). Both books were actually written in California, and both are […]
  • Review: “Acid Dreams” By Lee & Shlain
    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]
  • Did Jack Scott “Radicalize” The NBA’s Bill Walton?
    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
  • Review: Gold Warriors – America’s Secret Recovery Of Yamashita’s Gold
    This book, “Gold Warriors”, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave is really, really good. It can be expensive because it is out of print, but I bought it long ago and it has been waiting in my “to read” pile. Affordable copies can still be found, I ordered one for a friend and apparently it is […]
