Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil
by Michael C. Ruppert

This is a detective story that gets to the innermost core of the 9/11 attacks. It places 9/11 at the center of a desperate new America, created by specific, named individuals in preparation for Peak Oil: an economic crisis like nothing the world has ever seen.

The attacks of September 11th, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies the key suspects and persons of interest - finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government - by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks occurred and produced the desired result.

"In my book I make several key points:

1. I name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superceding any orders being issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation Room;

2. I establish conclusively that in May of 2001, by presidential order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and control of all wargame and field exercise training and scheduling through several agencies, especially FEMA. This also extended to all of the conflicting and overlapping NORAD drills -- some involving hijack simulations -- taking place on that day.

3. I demonstrate that the TRIPOD II exercise being set up on Sept. 10th in Manhattan was directly connected to Cheney's role in the above.

4. I also prove conclusively that a number of public officials, at the national and New York City levels, including then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, were aware that flight 175 was en route to lower Manhattan for 20 minutes and did nothing to order the evacuation of, or warn the occupants of the South Tower. One military officer was forced to leave his post in the middle of the attacks and place a private call to his brother - who worked at the WTC - warning him to get out. That was because no other part of the system was taking action.

5. I also show that the Israeli and British governments acted as partners with the highest levels of the American government to help in the preparation and, very possibly, the actual execution of the attacks."

"Deep Survival"
By Laurence Gonzales

Underlying any survival strategy is the assumption that the person wanting to survive has the right mental and spiritual attitude. Having had a number of survival crises in my life I can vouch for what Laurence Gonzales teaches all of us here. I had to learn some of these lessons the hard way.

I read this book and said, "Thank God someone put this wisdom in writing and backed it up with real-life experiences."

Before you start checking all of your store bought equipment and other goodies, first take a look at and an inventory of the most important survival tools of all. Your own brain and heart. -- MCR

"Climate Crash"
By John D. Cox

John Cox provides a succinct and elegant analysis of cutting edge climate research and brings to light the disturbing potential implications that these discoveries have for humanity. Climate crash and ecological destruction are with us now and getting worse. While a majority of scientists have put forth the idea that where the climate is concerned, things will continue much as they have in the past, it is unlikely. We now see that abrupt climate change may be a historical norm rather than an exception. In this light man's destruction of the environment looks more like a child playing with matches in a pool of gasoline rather than the economic selfishness we usually think of.    (Read Michael C.

Where There Is No Dentist
By Murray Dickson

As the Earth and life as we know it wobble atop a crumbling foundation it is essential that we as individuals and communities arm ourselves with the tools necessary to cultivate greater self-sufficiency if we and our families are to survive. Where There Is No Doctor and Where There Is No Dentist are invaluable compendiums of information that, in the absence of a medical professional, could mean the difference between minor and major, life and death. Easy to navigate, written in simple, straight-forward language, along with easy to follow pictures and diagrams, Where There Is No Doctor and Where There Is No Dentist run the proverbial gamut of preventative and emergency medicine like no other books of their kind.

From examination, to diagnosis, to first aid to simple surgical procedures, these books are indispensable. Where There is No Dentist also includes a new insert addressing treatment of persons with AIDS or HIV, something that also must be considered. There is a reason why these books have traveled the world with the Peace Corps and with Special Forces units. Simply put, if you are placed in a position where you and you alone might have to save the life of a loved one or a neighbor, they will give you the best chance of success.
– Mike Ruppert

The book was given its title, not because it tells you what to do until the doctor gets there, but what to do (when) the doctor is never going to get there…
- Jane Maxwell, Co-author of Where There Is No Doctor

"The best medical book written in the last 10 years…"
- David Morley, MD

"…Where There Is No Doctor is likely the most widely used health manual in the world."

"Full Spectrum Disorder:
The Military in the New American Century"

by

Stan Goff

Goff's career as a soldier in Army Special Operations (Delta Force, Rangers, and Special Forces) took him from the invasions of Vietnam, Grenada, and Haiti, to the training grounds of the Colombian and Peruvian armed forces. He taught Military Science at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, conducted classified missions in El Salvador and Guatemala, and was deployed with the ill-fated Task Force Ranger (of Black Hawk Down fame) to Mogadishu. There are snapshots of those experiences in this book.

But this is not a typical soldiers memoir. Goff engages in neither machismo nor maudlin soul-searching, and he is not content to merely tell stories. He interprets his own experience through years of post-military searching since he left the military, and draws some starkly brutal conclusions about the risks we all face in the dangerous last days of an unstable empire.

"Goff's impassioned and often vivid critique of U.S. foreign policy derives from the perspective of a long and distinguished military career...[W]ithering and powerful."-Publishers Weekly

"Power Down"

by

Richard Heinberg

Resourse depletion and population pressures are about to catch up with us and no one is prepared. Oil is running out and, if the U.S. continues with current policies, the next decades will be marked by war, economic collapse, and environmental catastrophe.

There are alternatives. A “Powerdown” strategy, for example, would aim to reduce per-capita resource usage in wealthy countries, develop alternative energy sources, distribute resources more equitably, and reduce the human population humanely but systematically over time. It could save us, but will require tremendous effort and economic sacrifice.

Powerdown speaks frankly to these dilemmas. Avoiding cynicism and despair, it begins with an overview of the likely impacts of oil and natural gas depletion and then outlines four options for industrial societies during the next decades:

Last One Standing: the path of competition for remaining resources
Powerdown: the path of cooperation, conservation, and sharing
Waiting for the Magic Elixir: wishful thinking, false hopes, and denial
Building Lifeboats: the path of community solidarity and preservation

Finally, the book explores likely responses to these four options. Timely, accessible and eloquent, Powerdown is a clarion call to urgent action.

"Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict"

by

Michael T. Klare

From the oilfields of Saudi Arabia to the Nile delta, from the shipping lanes of the South China Sea to the pipelines of Central Asia , Resource Wars looks at the growing impact of resource scarcity on the military policies of nations.

International security expert Michael T. Klare argues that in the early decades of the new millennium, wars will be fought not over ideology but over access to dwindling supplies of precious natural commodities. The political divisions of the Cold War, Klare asserts, have given way to a global scramble for oil, natural gas, minerals, and water. And as armies throughout the world define resource security as a primary objective, widespread instability is bound to follow, especially in those areas where competition for essential materials overlaps with long-standing territorial and religious disputes. In this clarifying view, the recent explosive conflict between the United States and Islamic extremism stands revealed as the predictable consequence of consumer nations seeking to protect the vital resources they depend on.

A much-needed assessment of a changed world, Resource Wars is a compelling look at warfare in an era of rampant globalization and intense economic competition --304 pages, which include 10 Maps, 19 Tables

Quotes:

"Brilliantly researched, ably argued . . . Resource Wars shows a new geography of conflict based on looming scarcities. Klare's analysis is indisputable." -- David Rieff, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Klare's is a rigorous and coolly executed work with sobering implications for the next several decades of life on earth." -- Mike Newirth, In These Times

Author Biography: Michael T. Klare is the director of the Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies at Amherst and author of Low-Intensity Warfare, Word Security, and Rogue States and Nuclear Outlaws . He lives in Northampton , Massachusetts.

"Angels Don't Play This HAARP"

by

Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning

HAARP - (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) A project run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy. Based in Alaska, it is a research program designed to study the ionosphere in order to develop new weapons technology. It could be used to wipe out communications over an extremely large area, it could be used as a tool for geophysical probing, which would define oil, gas and mineral deposits , it could be used to modify weather patterns and cause earthquakes. If HAARP was tuned to the right frequency, using just the right waveforms, mental disruption throughout a region could occur intentionally or as a side-effect of the radio frequency transmissions. It could also be used for crowd control by employing the cyclotron resonance of HAARP together with a minute amount of airborne chemical.

Co-author Jeane Manning is an experienced magazine journalist and reporter for daily newspapers. She has doggedly tracked HAARP since 1994.

Co-author Dr. Nick Begich is the eldest son of the late US Congressman from Alaska, Nick Begich Sr., and political activist Pegge Begich. Dr. Begich is well known in Alaska for his political activities. Dr. Begich received his doctorate in traditional medicine from The Open International University For Complimentary Medicines in November 1994.

"AMERICA'S SECRET ESTABLISHMENT:
An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones "

by

Antony C. Sutton

Breaking 170 years of secrecy, this intriguing exposé takes a behind-the-scenes look at Yale's mysterious society, the Order of the Skull and Bones, and its prominent members, numbering among them Tafts, Rockefellers, Pillsburys, and Bushes. Explored is how Skull and Bones initiates have become senators, judges, cabinet secretaries, spies, titans of finance and industry, and even U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush. This book reveals that far from being a campus fraternity, the society is more concerned with the success of its members in the postcollegiate world. Included are a verified membership list, rare reprints of original Order materials revealing the interlocking power centers dominated by Bonesmen, and a peek inside the Tomb, their 140-year-old private clubhouse.

"THE GLOBALIZATION of POVERTY
and the NEW WORLD ORDER"

by

Michel Chossudovsky

In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovsky’s international best-seller, the author outlines the contours of a New World Order which feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the environment, generates social apartheid, encourages racism and ethnic strife and undermines the rights of women. The result as his detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalization of poverty.

This book is a skilful combination of lucid explanation and cogently argued critique of the fundamental directions in which our world is moving financially and economically.

In this new enlarged edition - which includes ten new chapters and a new introduction-- the author reviews the causes and consequences of famine in Sub-Saharan Africa, the dramatic meltdown of financial markets, the demise of State social programs and the devastation resulting from corporate downsizing and trade liberalisation.
 
Michel Chossudovsky is an international best-selling author. He is Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalisation which hosts the critically acclaimed website: http://www.globalresearch.ca/.
