Weisbecker On Expat Surfer Communities And Conspiracy Denial

June 13, 2016
Weisbecker On Expat Surfer Communities And Conspiracy Denial

Allan Weisbecker is a fascinating, driven individual. I first heard of Allan when he debated philosopher-theorist Joe Atwill on Atwills podcast. The subject was Atwill’s claim that writer Ken Kesey had been in on a government plot to destabilize the 60’s youth movement. Weisbecker pretty much handed Atwill his ass with a spirited defense of […]

Review: “A Killing Art” – By Alex Gillis

Review: “A Killing Art” – By Alex Gillis

Espionage, Congressional scandal, Karate and Korean mobsters – what more does a good book need? Going over some research on Japan and South Korea I found a review that I originally published in May of 2011. It’s a pretty wild true history and I think it’s worth taking another look at. “A Killing Art” by […]

Book Review: The Yankee And Cowboy War – By Carl Olgesby

Book Review: The Yankee And Cowboy War – By Carl Olgesby

Understanding today’s political theater – with shifting allegiances, back-stabbing, and “dark money” contributing to steer the ship of state – firmly requires looking back to look forward. Identifying patterns of corruption from the past enables us to interpret those of today and suspect what may occur in the future. One of the very best books […]

Carroll Jarnagin; Did He Actually Witness Ruby With Oswald?

Carroll Jarnagin; Did He Actually Witness Ruby With Oswald?

Did an alcoholic Dallas attorney see Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby together before the Kennedy assassination? By John Titus with research by Carson Horton I’ve been plowing through a new and fairly controversial book by Dr. Jeffery Caufield on the Kennedy assassination titled “General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy”. The author’s website […]

Professor Alfred McCoy On The Politics Of Heroin

Professor Alfred McCoy On The Politics Of Heroin

Professor Alfred McCoy is recognized as being one of the foremost experts on the politics of Heroin, a drug making a surging comeback after largely being shamed out of popular culture for decades. The availability of opiate-related pills has brought on demand for the dragon drug, thought to be cheaper and easier to obtain once […]

And Then She Said; “Who’s Jim Crow”?

And Then She Said; “Who’s Jim Crow”?

Our local tavern is typical for the rural west coast; too much sports, empty bragging and general foolishness you would find at any-where-pub USA. There are however some pretty smart cookies that roll through. One of my friends famously told me “our little county is full of over-educated drop-outs”. I tend to shut off the […]

Taking Another Look At The John Birch Society

To those of us who grew up in the 1950’s or 1960’s The John Birch Society may seem like a thing of the distant past, but it’s alive and well today and has left it’s paranoid footprints everywhere. Surprisingly, they’ve changed some of their targets, learned from mistakes and are attempting to re-invent the movement. […]

The New “X-Files” And “Alternative 3”

February 7, 2016
The New “X-Files” And “Alternative 3”

The reboot of “The X-Files” has taken quite a new twist, but much of the new theme was forecast in a fake documentary by Anglia TV in the U.K., and later a novel – both by the name “Alternative 3”. First, let’s take a look at the conspiracy theory woven into the premier of the […]

Review: Dumbing Us Down – By John Taylor Gatto

Review: Dumbing Us Down – By John Taylor Gatto

John Taylor Gatto may be one of the most fascinating educators I have ever read or heard of, even if I question some of his solutions to problems associated with teaching and learning. I have to add that I was introduced to Gatto by his interviews with Richard Grove at the “Tragedy And Hope” website, […]

Review: The CIA World Factbook – 2016

December 13, 2015
Review: The CIA World Factbook – 2016

Well, I guess this is the first publication I have bought that was authored by The Central Intelligence Agency. It is, however, published by Skyhorse Publishing, which I believe also prints some out-there conspiracy books among their wide selection. At 940 pages The CIA World Factbook (2016 edition) is a real brick of a book. […]

RSS Northwest Research & Covert Book Report

  • Review: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown
    I know I am coming to this book late, but felt it necessary to read this (and others) from the native standpoint since I am also reading many books that seem to be about colonization. I, myself have perhaps been somewhat selfishly in sorrow for how our little seaside community is now turning into “Disneyland”, […]
  • 1421- The Year China Discovered America – By Gavin Menzies
    1421- The Year China Discovered America By Gavin Menzies Let me start by writing that I am well aware that mainstream historians and archaeologists reject this interpretation, but for simple-minded readers like me perhaps, this book makes complete sense. Menzies was a submarine commander and knew ships, currents and winds – all the things needed […]
  • Was The Murder Of A Federal Judge An “Intelligence” Operation?
    Was The Murder Of A Federal Judge An “Intelligence” Operation? The story of the Chagra’s, Charles Harrelson, and the murder of Federal Judge ‘Maximum” John Wood is a long and twisted mystery that has not quite been solved. The characters include; Lee and Jimmy and Joe Chagra, acknowledged hit-man Charles Harrelson, and Federal Judge “Maximum” […]
  • 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 […]
