From the Deaths of JFK and John Lennon to Government-Sponsored Alien Cover-Ups

Americans thrive on conspiracy theories. Who was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy? Have aliens landed, and if so, why is the U.S. government keeping it from us? Has the CIA experimented with mind control techniques? Whether you believe in them or not, conspiracy theories make fascinating reading, and Paranoia magazine has been publishing the best and most fascinating theories since 1992. Here are some of the best articles to ever accuse a government agency or cabal of perpetrating a fraud on the public: - Was Pope John Paul I murdered? - Is there an alien corpse hidden in Puerto Rico? - Is the Federal Emergency Management Agency a tool of fascism? - Was Native American activist Leonard Peltier framed? - Did the Knights Templar ever come to possess the Ark of the Covenant? - Was the assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin the result of a conspiracy? - Was the death of Mary Jo Kopechne a set-up by the CIA to destroy any chance Ted Kennedy had of becoming president of the United States? - And much more! The Conspiracy Reader offers answers to all these questions. Whether you read it solely as entertainment, or because you truly believe that mysterious dark forces are at work dictating history’s path, you’ll find it all fascinating.

The Story of the NEPA Freedom Writers

This book is about politics, both local and national, and how each impacts the other. The city of Scranton is itself a hotbed of partisan politics and, at other times, a home to apathy and antipathy. The host of “Hard Ball,” Chris Mathews, talks about ordinary citizens “from Scranton to Oshkosh.” In the last couple presidential elections, Scranton has had an outsized effect because it is the hometown of Joe Biden and was the nearby summer vacation home of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Learn how a committed group of thoughtful writers seek to turn Northeast Pennsylvania (and beyond) around with its incisive reporting of enlightened views

The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers

An eye-opening investigation into China's Communist Party and its integral role in the country's rise as a global superpower and rival of the United States China's political and economic growth in the past three decades is one of astonishing, epochal dimensions. The country has undergone a remarkable transformation on a scale similar to that of the Industrial Revolution in the West. The most remarkable part of this transformation, however, has been left largely untold—the central role of the Chinese Communist Party. As an organization alone, the Party is a phenomenon of unique scale and power. Its membership surpasses seventy-three million, and it does more than just rule a country. The Party not only has a grip on every aspect of government, from the largest, richest cities to the smallest far-flung villages in Tibet and Xinjiang, it also has a hold on all official religions, the media, and the military. The Party presides over large, wealthy state-owned businesses, and it exercises control over the selection of senior executives of all government companies, many of which are in the top tier of the Fortune 500 list. In The Party, Richard McGregor delves deeply into China's inner sanctum for the first time, showing how the Communist Party controls the government, courts, media, and military, and how it keeps all corruption accusations against its members in-house. The Party's decisions have a global impact, yet the CPC remains a deeply secretive body, hostile to the law, unaccountable to anyone or anything other than its own internal tribunals. It is the world's only geopolitical rival of the United States, and is steadfastly poised to think the worst of the West. In this provocative and illuminating account, Richard McGregor offers a captivating portrait of China's Communist Party, its grip on power and control over China, and its future.

Stratfor

China's rapid economic growth and emergence on the world stage in recent years appear as signs of a country that is growing ever more powerful, but this perceived strength belies an insecure government with a tenuous grasp on domestic stability. As China nears a 2012 leadership transition, it is faced with myriad challenges, both internal and external, and understanding these challenges is critical to being able to predict and prepare for the China of the next decade.
