Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, John Bolton - The P ost-American Presidency, The Obama Administration' s War on America (2010).jpg

1 - Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, John Bolton - The Post-Amer...Presidency, The Obama Administrations War on America 2010.jpg

Popular conservative blogger Pamela Geller and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer sound a wake-up call for Americans to stop the Obama administration from limiting our hard-won freedoms, silencing our democratic voices, and irreparably harming America for generations to come.
America is being tested in a way that she has never been tested before. Since taking the oath of office in January 2009, President Barack Obama has cheered our enemies and demoralized our allies. He is hard at work "remaking" America by destroying the free-market system and nationalizing major segments of our economy, demonizing dissent and restricting freedom of speech, turning against our longtime friends, and above all, subjecting us to the determinations of foreign authorities.
In this timely and urgent battle cry, Pamela Geller, founder of the widely popular website www.AtlasShrugs.com, and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer team up to expose the Obama administration’s destructive agenda—largely ignored by the mainstream media—and rally Americans to protect the sovereignty of a country that is under siege by the highest levels of its own government. As Americans see their paychecks shrinking every day, Obama ignores our forefathers’ founding principle: individual rights. Instead, he seeks to level the playing field—to transform both the global and national landscape in favor of our enemies—even if it means cutting America off at the knees. He envisions himself as more than just a president of the United States, but as a shaper of the new world order, an internationalist energetically laying the groundwork for global government: the president of the world.
A vital guide to helping conservatives prepare for the tough battles ahead, The Post-American Presidency critically examines the Obama administration’s ominous and revealing moves against our basic freedoms, particularly as he seizes control of the three engines of the American economy: health care, energy, and education. The Shining City on a Hill has gone dark. But America is not dead. The time is NOW to stand up and fight.

Hans J. Eysenck - Zmierzch i upadek imperium Freud a (2003).jpg

"Wygłosiłem wiele wykładów, których przedmiotem były tematy podejmowane w tej książce; te moje wystąpienia zwykle oceniane były jako »kontrowersyjne«. Nie wątpię, że i tę książkę recenzenci nazwą »kontrowersyjną«" – w taki oto sposób autor "Zmierzchu i upadku imperium Freuda" uprzedził mnie w ocenie jego książki. Podobnie jak jej pierwsze słowa i tytuł, cała praca jest dobrze skomponowana, zwięzła, mocna i sugestywna, ale jednocześnie jakby z posmakiem zbytniej waleczności i zadufania w sobie.

Autor, guru psychologii drugiej połowy XX wieku, twórca słynnej teorii osobowości, orędownik metod eksperymentalnych i terapii behawioralnej, stara się przekazać kilka istotnych faktów: po pierwsze, osobowość Freuda - jako uzależnionego od matki, niezaspokojonego seksualnie kokainisty - niestety negatywnie wpłynęła na jego zdolność myślenia i tworzenia teorii. Po drugie: badania dowodzą, że psychoanaliza jest skrajnie nieskuteczna, a teoria seksualności dziecięcej nie pokrywa się z rzeczywistością, podobnie jak mit o ojcobójstwie wyznaczającym początek kultury. Po trzecie: interpretacja snów nie odkrywa niczego, czego byśmy sami o sobie nie wiedzieli, a na pewno nie prowadzi do ujawnienia wypartych pragnień z dzieciństwa. Podsumowując: "To, co jest nowe w tych teoriach, nie jest prawdą, a to, co jest prawdą, nie jest nowe"[2].

Zasadniczo taka książka, jak "Zmierzch i upadek" jest bardzo potrzebna. Urzeczywistnia spokojne i racjonalne spojrzenie na dzieło Freuda, podejście do niego na tych samych zasadach, co do innych psychologów. Prostuje dziesiątki wniosków, dopowiada wiele faktów. Umożliwia przez to odbrązowienie autorytetu. A wszystko to za pomocą idealnego - zwięzłego i działającego na wyobraźnię - stylu. Fakt, że książka jest niewielka objętościowo, a przy tym tak ciekawa i rzetelna, że autor nie omieszkał wskazać nam najlepszych prac do dalszej lektury, jednym słowem - jej walor popularnonaukowy, jest jej największą zaletą.

Niestety, istnieje też największa wada, już zasygnalizowana. Naprawdę nie da się uniknąć wrażenia, że Eysenck zajmuje stanowisko niezwykle nieugodowe. Przemilcza osiągnięcia Freuda – to, że zadał on tyle wartościowych pytań w dziedzinie osobowości, rozwoju dziecka, dynamiki relacji międzyludzkich, że faktycznie zapoczątkował psychoterapię. Autor zaledwie wspomina, że psychoanaliza jest ogromnie trafna z hermeneutycznego punktu widzenia, ale nie rozwija tego wątku (ma swoje powody, lecz można z nimi dyskutować).

Potencjalnym czytelnikom książkę polecam, niech jednak mają się na baczności i, jak mawiał sam pan Eysenck, nie wierzą niczemu, czego sami nie sprawdzą.

Satyajit Das - Traders, Guns & Money, Knowns and u nknowns in the dazzling world of derivatives (2006 ).jpg

"Traders, Guns & Money is very fresh history, just two years old. Das picks apart the new machinery of the mega-trillion-dollar derivatives market, the one economists say might be next to collapse on our heads. And I'm with him, I really am. The guy has a thing for ridiculous puns and also for pitiable characters. We meet a couple of noodle makers who wreck their company on a deal no one but Das seems to understand. But by the end of his book, you'll get the deal too, I promise.”

James Bradley - The Imperial Cruise, A Secret Hist ory of Empire and War (2010).jpg

Theodore Roosevelt steers America onto the shoals of imperialism in this stridently disapproving study of early 20th-century U.S. policy in Asia. Bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers, Bradley traces a 1905 voyage to Asia by Roosevelt's emissary William Howard Taft, who negotiated a secret agreement in which America and Japan recognized each other's conquests of the Philippines and Korea. (Roosevelt's flamboyant, pistol-packing daughter Alice went along to generate publicity, and Bradley highlights her antics.) Each port of call prompts a case study of American misdeeds: the brutal counterinsurgency in the Philippines; the takeover of Hawaii by American sugar barons; Roosevelt's betrayal of promises to protect Korea, which greenlighted Japanese expansionism and thus makes him responsible for Pearl Harbor. Bradley explores the racist underpinnings of Roosevelt's policies and paradoxical embrace of the Japanese as Honorary Aryans. Bradley's critique of Rooseveltian imperialism is compelling but unbalanced. He doesn't explain how Roosevelt could have evicted the Japanese from Korea, and insinuates that the Japanese imperial project was the brainstorm of American advisers. Ironically, his view of Asian history, like Roosevelt's, denies agency to the Asians themselves. Photos, maps.

Die beiden Weltkriege unseres Jahrhunderts übertrafen alle vorhergehenden kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen: Das Kriegsende weitete sich weltweit aus, und sie brachten eine völlig neue Kriegstechnik hervor. Doch trotz der fortwährend steigenden Bedeutung der schweren Kampftechnik mit Panzern und Luftwaffe fiel den Handfeuerwaffen und auch Blankwaffen, die sich den neuen Kampfweisen anpassten, eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Dieses farbig illustrierte Lexikon stellt die wichtigsten Militärwaffen - nicht nur der Großmächte - vor, und gibt über Hersteller, Anwendung sowie über den Wert als Sammelstück Auskunft.

Henry M. Paulson - On the Brink, Inside the Race t o Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System (2011).jpg

When Hank Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, was appointed in 2006 to become the nation's next Secretary of the Treasury, he knew that his move from Wall Street to Washington would be daunting and challenging.

But Paulson had no idea that a year later, he would find himself at the very epicenter of the world's most cataclysmic financial crisis since the Great Depression. Major institutions including Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup, among others-all steeped in rich, longstanding tradition-literally teetered at the edge of collapse. Panic ensnared international markets. Worst of all, the credit crisis spread to all parts of the U.S. economy and grew more ominous with each passing day, destroying jobs across America and undermining the financial security millions of families had spent their lifetimes building.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime economic nightmare. Events no one had thought possible were happening in quick succession, and people all over the globe were terrified that the continuing downward spiral would bring unprecedented chaos. All eyes turned to the United States Treasury Secretary to avert the disaster.

This, then, is Hank Paulson's first-person account. From the man who was in the very middle of this perfect economic storm, On the Brink is Paulson's fast-paced retelling of the key decisions that had to be made with lightning speed. Paulson puts the reader in the room for all the intense moments as he addressed urgent market conditions, weighed critical decisions, and debated policy and economic considerations with of all the notable players-including the CEOs of top Wall Street firms as well as Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Sheila Bair, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, and then-President George W. Bush.

More than an account about numbers and credit risks gone bad, On the Brink is an extraordinary story about people and politics-all brought together during the world's impending financial Armageddon.

Osprey - Elite 23 - Anthony J. Bryant - The Samura i (2000).jpg

Perhaps the greatest warriors in history, the Samurai were a product of a social system totally geared to war. The Samurai became expert in fighting both on horseback and on the ground. Their way of life was dictated by the code of Bushido or 'way of the warrior' and clad in their magnificent, multi-coloured armour they were perfectly suited to the violent clan and dynastic warfare that dominated medieval Japan as the most powerful families vied for supremacy. In this title Anthony J Bryant presents a fascinating overview of these truly élite warriors.

Howard Friel, Thomas E. Lovejoy - The Lomborg Dece ption, Setting the Record Straight About Global Wa rming (2010).jpg

In this major assessment of leading climate-change skeptic Bjørn Lomborg, Howard Friel meticulously deconstructs the Danish statistician’s claim that global warming is “no catastrophe” by exposing the systematic misrepresentations and partial accounting that are at the core of climate skepticism. His detailed analysis serves not only as a guide to reading the global warming skeptics, but also as a model for assessing the state of climate science. With attention to the complexities of climate-related phenomena across a range of areas—from Arctic sea ice to the Antarctic ice sheet—The Lomborg Deception also offers readers an enlightening review of some of today’s most urgent climate concerns.

Dariusz Tołczyk - Gułag w oczach Zachodu (2009).jpg

"Niech będzie przeklęty ten, kto wyjdzie stąd i będzie milczał" - wyrył kiedyś na ścianie łagrowego karceru jeden z milionów więźniów sowieckiego Gułagu. Okazało się, że choć niektórzy z ocalałych misją życia uczynili opowiedzenie wolnemu światu o naturze dyktatury, rzadko kto ich słuchał, a jeszcze rzadziej im wierzył. Obojętne pozostały zwłaszcza opiniotwórcze i polityczne elity.

Powodów, dla których Zachód długo odrzucał świat relacje o sowieckim terrorze, było wiele. Prawda o zbrodniach sowieckich nie była dostępna bezpośrednio w takim stopniu, jak prawda o zbrodniach hitleryzmu. Żołnierze alianccy, wyzwalając nazistowskie obozy, zastali w nich niepodważalne dowody ludobójstwa. Wiadomości tyczące masowych mordów z Sowietach pochodziły jedynie od świadków - a wspomnienia łatwo zakwestionować. Zwłaszcza że komunistyczna machina propagandowa, prócz chwytów prostackich, używała też narzędzi wyrafinowanych. Symbolem jej działań stały się potiomkinowskie spektakle dla zachodnich intelektualistów i dziennikarzy, organizowane w stworzonych na pokaz obozach i więzieniach. Łatwo wykorzystywała również zwykły oportunizm i osobiste interesy wielu z nich.

Swoje robiła także zwykła kalkulacja polityczna: ZSRR był przecież cały czas ważnym graczem politycznym i partnerem gospodarczym. Choć więc z czasem demokratyczny świat zaczął potępiać Moskwę za represje, to nie wykazywał w tym ani wielkiej stanowczości, ani konsekwencji.

Kto wie, czy nie najważniejsza była jednak niewyobrażalna skala sowieckich represji. Z podobnego powodu Zachód długo odrzucał przecież raporty o Holocauście - także zagłada Żydów wydawała się „nie do pomyślenia" dla racjonalnie myślącego człowieka XX w.

Przeprowadzona przez prof. Dariusza Tołczyka z University of Virginia analiza zaślepienia zachodnich elit na komunistyczne ludobójstwo jest równocześnie historią terroru w ZSRR, opartym na mnóstwie przykładów wykładem o sile socjotechniki i propagandy oraz mechanizmów uwodzenia przez ideologię.

Ale jest to też na szczęście opowieść o moralnej sile tych, którym cudem przeżyli i ich uporze w ujawnianiu prawdy. Choćby Gustawa Herlinga Grudzińskiego i Aleksandera Sołżenicyna, których „Inny świat" i „Archipelag Gułag" w połączeniu z tzw. tajnym referatem Chruszczowa, przyniosły Zachodowi otrzeźwienie.

Jason Mattera - Obama Zombies, How the Liberal Mac hine Brainwashed My Generation (2010).jpg

In 2008, Barack Obama lobotomized a generation.

For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.

Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at mach speed.

Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire.

YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted across the globe and into college students’ in-boxes with devastating regularity.

All the while, the mega-money-raising engine whirred like a slot machine stuck on jackpot.

The result: an unthinking mass of young voters marched forward to elect the most radical and untested president in U.S. history.

Recognized as one of the country’s top young conservative activists by Human Events, Jason Mattera created an internet sensation with ambush video interviews that exposed clueless young liberals and cunning Democratic officials. Now he reveals the jaw-dropping lengths Barack Obama and his allies in Hollywood, Washington, and Academia went to in order to transform a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching followers into a winning coalition that threatens to become a long-lasting political realignment.

Obama Zombies uncovers the true, behind-the-scenes story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign unleashed on youth culture. Through personal interviews and meticulous original research, Mattera explains why conservatism’s future rests upon jolting the young masses from their slumber, yanking out their earphones, and sparking a countercultural conservative battle against the rise of the ignorant Left.

The lesson from 2008 is crystal clear: When true conservatives run away, Obama zombies come out to play.

Stan Winer - Between the Lies, Rise of the Media-m ilitary-industrial Complex (2004).jpg

The Between the Lies by Stan Winer gives a devastating analysis of some key military and intelligence operations of modern times. On the basis of convincing research and first-hand observation, Winer identifies the replication in "peacetime" of wartime methods of news and information management. With unnerving clarity, the book unravels the story of how the management of public perceptions has served to transport many people into a safe moral universe of Good v Evil, uncomplicated by the moral dilemmas of the real world. Between the Lies shows that this real world is actually a morally questionable world. Various axes of evil straddle this morally questionable world, the exact centres of which depend entirely on where you are standing at any given time. And where you are standing is largely determined by the symbiotic relationship that exists between the media and the military-industrial complex. Between the Lies is concerned with the remarkable historical and institutional continuity of that relationship, and the way it feeds off prevailing heroic myths about war. If more British and American people knew about that relationship, they might not have supported their countries' infamous rush to invade Iraq. The book forces a reassessment of where humanity has been, where it is heading, and the role of media in allowing history to unfold in the certain way it has. To that end, Between the Lies shows how the British and American secret services went in for "news" management in a big way during World War II and the Cold War, and continues to do so in the "war against terrorism". Disinformation is a large part of their strategic capability, while official information agencies, functioning with almost limitless funds, are left to do as they please, against friend and foe alike - just so long as their leaders are free to deny it. If there are dark secrets to be kept or dirty deeds to be done, most lawmakers do not even want to know about them. Parliamentary and congressional oversight are essentially non-existent, and many reporters are more willing to collaborate with the secret services than expose their secrets.

Loren C. Steffy - Drowning in Oil, BP & the Reckle ss Pursuit of Profit (2010).jpg

As night settled on April 20, 2010, a series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives, and it would rage uncontained for two days, until its wreckage sank to a final resting place nearly a mile beneath the waves. On the ocean floor, the unit's wellhead erupted. Over the next ten weeks, as repeated attempts to cap the geyser failed, an estimated 200 million gallons of oil—the equivalent of 20 Exxon Valdez spills—spewed into the Gulf of Mexico, eventually lapping up on beaches as far away as Florida.

Drowning in Oil, by award-winning Houston Chronicle business reporter and columnist Loren Steffy—considered by many to be the writer with the best access to the story—is an unprecedented and gripping narrative of this catastrophe and how BP's winner-take-all business culture made it all but inevitable.

Through never-before-published interviews with BP executives and employees, environmental experts, and oil industry insiders, Steffy takes us behind the scenes of 100 years of BP corporate history. Beginning with the conglomerate's early gambits in the Middle East to its recent ascent among energy titans, Steff unearths the roots of the Gulf oil spill in the unwritten bargain between oil producers and consumers, whose insatiable appetites drive the search for new supplies faster, farther, and deeper.

Beyond this, the Deepwater Horizon disaster took place after a history of cost cutting in pursuit of profits, particularly under the guidance of its two most recent ex-CEOs, John Browne and Anthony Hayward.

Exhaustively researched and documented, Drowning in Oil is the first in-depth examination of how a lack of corporate responsibility and government oversight led to the biggest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. It is an objective, no-punches-pulled account of the energy industry: its environmental impact and the intense competition among stakeholders in today's oil markets.

This book puts all the pieces together, offering a definitive account of BP's pursuit of outsized profits as the industrial world awakens to the grim realities of Peak Oil.

"They fumbled around the darkened room and found an instruction manual. By flashlight, they read the starting procedures. They were doing everything right. After five or six futile tries, they gave up and headed back toward the bridge. Back on the bridge, alarms were shrieking and the captain knew they were running out of time. The subsea engineer had hit the emergency disconnect for the well, and although the control panel showed the rig should be free, it wasn't. The hydraulics were dead. Fire continued to shoot from the top of the derrick. The rig had no power, and without power, it had no pumps for the firefighting equipment, no way to shut off the flow of gas from the well, and no way to disconnect the rig from the flaming umbilical that had it tethered to the wellhead." —from Drowning in Oil

Mary Jo Devaland - China's Economic Policy Impact on the United States (2008).jpg

Since the initiation of economic reforms in 1979, China has become one of the world's fastest-growing economies. From 1979 to 2007 China's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an average annual rate of 9.8%. Real GDP grew 11.4% in 2007 (the fastest annual growth since 1994). While China is expected to continue to enjoy rapid economic growth in the years ahead and could become the world's largest economy within a decade or so, it faces a number of challenges, including widespread corruption, an inefficient banking system, over-dependence on exports and fixed investment for growth, pollution, widening income disparities, and growing inflationary pressures. The Chinese government has indicated that it intends, over the coming years, to create a 'harmonious society' that would promote more balanced economic growth and address a number of economic and social issues. Trade and foreign investment continues to play a major role in China's booming economy. From 2004 to 2007, the value of total Chinese merchandise trade nearly doubled. In 2007, China's exports (at $1,218 billion) exceeded U.S. exports (1,162 billion) for the first time. China's imports were $956 billion and its trade surplus was $262 billion (a historic high). Well over half of China's trade is conducted by foreign firms operating in China. The combination of large trade surpluses, foreign direct investment flows, and large-scale purchases of foreign currency have helped make China the world's largest holder of foreign exchange reserves at $1.5 trillion at the end 2007. China's economy continues to be a concern to many U.S. policymakers. On the one hand, U.S. consumers, exporters, and investors have greatly benefited from China's rapid economic and trade growth. On the other hand, the surge in Chinese exports to the United States has put competitive pressures on various U.S. industries. Many U.S. policymakers have argued that China often does not play by the rules when it comes to trade and they have called for greater efforts to pressure China to fully implement its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments and to change various economic policies deemed harmful to U.S. economic interests, such as its currency policy, its use of subsidies to support state-owned firms, trade and investment barriers to U.S. goods and services, and failure to ensure the safety of its exports to the United States. Concerns have also been raised over China's rising demand for energy and raw materials, its impact on world prices for such commodities, increased pollution levels, and efforts China has made to invest in energy and raw materials around the world, including countries (such as Iran, North Korea, and Sudan) where the United States has political and human rights concerns. This book provides an overview of China's economic development, challenges China faces to maintain growth, and the implications of China's rise as a major economic power for the United States.

Arthur W. Hunt III - The Vanishing Word, The Vener ation of Visual Imagery in the Postmodern World (2 003).jpg

The truth about our culture and the dangers of a subtle overdose of celebrity worship, visual images, and watered-down worship

Sounds blare and pictures flash frantically across the screen. This may seem to be an accurate description of every commercial aired on TV, but such commercials are actually symptomatic of a much more important cultural shift.

Arthur Hunt argues that there is a conceptual transformation taking place today, as we move from an emphasis on the "word" to the predominance of the 'image".
Hunt focuses on the contrast between a Judeo-Christian heritage, characteristically word-dependentâ€”and paganism, typically image-dependent. As people trust experience and visual representations to interpret their surroundings, they focus less on content and more on sensory appeal.
Hunt argues that movements like the Protestant Reformation, Puritanism, and the beginnings of the American nation were all created and sustained in an environment that transmitted its ideas through words, while historical shifts to emphasize image have occurred during periods like the Dark Ages. As the word, both written and spoken, is devalued, there is a renewed descent into paganism.

A wide range of issues ”education, politics, entertainment, postmodernism" are brought together in an incisive, illuminating way. This book examines trends in today's culture and churches that lead away from a word-centered world and into an image-soaked world ripe for propaganda and a demagogue.
