Walden Two by B. F. Skinner (Text)
In the spirit of "listening to the enemy," I suggest it is worth your while to read this book by behaviourist B. F. Skinner. A "fictional" account of a perfectly planned experimental community where children are raised from birth to accept their allotted station in the social pecking order. Be sure to follow it up with a listen to my FLNWO podcast on the subject for a thorough dissection of the propaganda embedded therein, though!
Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Antony C. Sutton
Another essential work by the always essential Sutton, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler does exactly what its title suggests: meticulously documents the essential role that Wall Street played in aiding, abetting and bankrolling the rise of Hitler, and, ultimately, helping to bring about World War Two.
The Anglo-American Establishment by Carroll Quigley (text)
Let's face it: most people don't have the time (or inclination) to read Quigley's oft-cited (but intimidatingly weighty) 1,000+ page tome, Tragedy and Hope. If you are in that position, you might want to start with the considerably slimmer (but still very important) The Anglo-American Establishment, in which Quigley lays out the key players in the Rhodes round table and its subsequent offshoots, and talks about some of their major accomplishments in the first half of the 20th century. And, if you're still hankering for some more inside skinny on the Rhodes round table, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations and other such matters, you might want to turn to . . .
Tragedy and Hope 101 by Joe Plummer (website and free text)
If you want to familiarize yourself with the essential passages of Tragedy and Hope without reading every page of the infamously large book, Tragedy and Hope 101 is for you. In this no-nonsense book, Plummer gets straight to the point, quoting important passages of Quigley and then explaining their background, meaning and context in easily digestible, bite-sized chunks. Consider it a Cole's Notes for an educated conspiracy researcher without a lot of time on their hands. (Watch my interview with Plummer about the book if you're still on the fence.)
Against Intellectual Property by Stephan Kinsella (Text and Audio)
I used to be a muddle-headed, blue-pilled normie about IP before I encountered the work of Stephan Kinsella on this issue. Don't be a muddle-headed, blue-pilled normie. Read this book.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (Text / Audio / Muppets)
'Tis the season, after all. I mean, it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom and politics all the time, does it. Besides, "more of gravy than of grave about you"? Come on! Don't be a Scrooge! (Oh, OK, you can read some politics into this text if you really must bring everything back to that.)
