Despite sometimes feeling like a compilation of conspiracy theory, all of the pieces are heavy with outside references and clearly put forth.  heina | Feb 26, 2008 |  This is a fascinting book about commonly believed lies and shocking information that the public doesn't really know. (  ) RosesAreRed | Sep 16, 2007 | I love Disinformation. These books pull together some amazing writers and present some great ideas all in one place. You can find much better anthologies as well as more articulate discussions on these issues, but for sheer volume and broad brush strokes, these books do a good job This book centers on government lies/secrets and historical misinformation. Much better than 'You Are Being Lied To'. Still has the ring of a entry level college class, but manages to inform. I would recomend looking into the book. Maybe not worth buying for everyone. (  ) odanube | Feb 17, 2006 | I'm sure this would be an interesting book if I could get through it at all. It's so dense and covers such heavy material that it doesn't make for good bathroom reading, and it's so depressing that it's no good anywhere else.

| Book description |
|
This book begins where You Are Being Lied To left off. Once again, an amazing group of investigative journalists, researchers, insiders, dissidents, and academics peels back consensus reality and shows us what's really happening. Hard, documented evidence on the most powerful institutions and controversial topics in the world. Among the revelations:
Antidepressants trash your brain.
China has repeatedly threatened to nuke the US.
Young people are less violent now than they have been in over 30 years.
Mad Cow disease is killing people in America.
Many disabled people don't want to be "cured" and don't admire Christopher Reeve.
Plus previously unpublished revelations about the International Monetary Fund, the Vatican Bank, the Olympic Games, Henry Lee Lucas, the drug war in South America, unpublicized accidents at nuclear power plants, and much more. Includes reproductions of rare documents and photos, including an unpublished eyewitness sketch of a mysterious third gunman at Columbine.
