Product Description

Russ Kick has proved himself a master at uncovering facts that "they" would prefer you never hear about. The rapid success of the large-format Disinformation Guide series edited by Kick has only whetted a roaring public appetite for more revelations about government cover-ups, scientific scams, corporate crimes, medical malfeasance, historical whitewashes, media manipulation, and other knock-your-socks-off secrets and lies. This CD-sized book packs a powerful punch in a small, attractive package intended for impulse and gift purchases, as well as serving as a handy reference book. Among Kick’s amazing discoveries, all thoroughly documented:

The first genetically modified humans have already been born.
Hitler’s blood relatives are living in the U.S.
The CIA commits over 100,000 serious crimes per year.
The U.S. planned to explode an atomic bomb on the moon.
An atomic bomb was dropped on North Carolina.
The main hero of the movie Black Hawk Down is a convicted child molester.
The discoverer of HIV no longer believes the virus is the sole cause of AIDS.
Kent State wasn’t the only massacre of U.S. college students during the Vietnam era.
Lincoln didn’t free any slaves.

A uniquely valuable tool to debunk modern mythology and the people and institutions serving it up, 50 Things You’re Not Supposed To Know is an amazing value carefully timed for holiday purchase, and will be supported by a large co-op and retail sales aid spend.

This review is from: 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know (Paperback)
Russ is kicking some serious butt these days, opening a veritable flag draped coffin full of worms for all the world to see, as well as his excellent detective work via his facile use of Adobe Acrobat Reader to reveal the New York Justice Department's attempt at censoring info. on their very own website. Having made the front page of the New York Times with these grass root efforts, more and more of the mainstream media is paying attention to the growing clout that renegade activists such as Kick are getting. In Russ's book, 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know, the editor of such works as Abuse Your Illusions, You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know is Wrong, shares his journalistic knack for unearthing some of the more unsavory factoids of life and comes up with a Top 50 list that corporate media and our perpetually dumbing down government would rather keep under the lid if it could. While paging through 50 Things, I learned that the government can take my house and sell it to private corporations, that the police are not legally obligated to protect me (which really gives a new meaning to the motto 'We Serve and Protect' and that prescription drugs kill over 100,000 people annually. I also learned that electric cars have been around since the 1880's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light on the unknown, Mar 8 2004
This review is from: 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know (Paperback)
In his latest book, Russ Kick brings together more little known or unknown facts for public consumption. While some of these tidbits are not surprising, they are all interesting, and luckily he includes some references for additional reading. Some of the more interesting were about the real Ten Commandments, the actual legal obligations of the police, the power of juries, and the other massacres of college students during the Vietnam conflict.
