(11,945 posts)but only identified 3 books. Here's what I have:
Forbidden Bookshelf (Mark Crispen Miller) - can be obtained as ebooks from Amazon or used editions available online. MCM's group is republishing them.
The Phoenix Program -- Douglas Valentine, 1990s -- Describes enforcement of the South Vietnamese anti-program, shows how it is used to infringe on human rights now in America. Info from interviewing CIA officers. Book was marginalized. Morley Safir wrote damning review in NYTimes, ruined author's career.
Lords of Creation (1935)-- Frederick Lewis Allen. Predicted the corrupt capitalist system. The history of the 1%.
Blowback -- Christopher Simpson. About censorship of the author who worked as an archivist/ historian. History of U.S. recruitment of Nazis during Cold War.

(9,001 posts)guilt by association is a valid point of view.
But since I'm a rational adult with the ability to glean useful facts from propaganda and then decide for myself after due diligence in my research, I don't see it that way.
I bet that tiny box is cozy tho.

(811 posts)Put down the the truth if they don't care for the source. To prove My point, Just take a look at the flack the Police give to Black Lives Matter. A closed mind waste Potential!

We all know if you want to tell other people what's wrong with them, make sure your shit don't stink!

(811 posts)Are supposed to believe everything that the MSM prints or broadcast Just because of the source. If you feel this way, (which is a logical conclusion drawn from your previous comments.) Wow, I'm so sorry for you. That is no sarcasm. I truly feel sorry for you. Smart enough to fill out the Paperwork, but lack Critical Thinking and reasoned response.

(4,769 posts)The first book rekindled my hatred of those on the left who have become fascist in their views regarding ubiquitous spying and clamping down on whistle-blowers. (Which incidentally hampers investigative journalism.)
I still wonder if those people were always fascists at heart; right-wing conformists who happen to be in the wrong party - and are just waiting for their leader to tell them what to believe?
And don't attack the messenger dammit. That's what the right did every time Michael Moore came out with something they didn't like. Attack the messenger when it's warranted and the message when it's wrong. Otherwise stick with TMZ.
