[TalkingDog]

1. I took quick notes from the video

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.

2. lol RT can STFU

Putin TV wants to tell us about censorship now? A channel paid for by a dictatorship that is killing the free press in Russia wants to tell us about suppression of books?

4. Truth Can sometimes come from strange places.

So no matter if you like it or not, if you hate the source or not, it's still the TRUTH. BTW it will not be silenced.

[uhnope]

5. Fascism can come from strange places

So you're a fan of the fascist Putin government? Please tell us more

6. Lacking critical thinking skills would probably cause one to think that

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.

[uhnope]

12. why don't just start posting "useful facts" from Stormfront or the KKK then, perfesser

it's a BS argument

[imthevicar]

13. People Will often

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!

7. Can Putin point out American hypocrisy?

Even in the guise of Abby Martin, a national treasure of general opposition?

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

[uhnope]

8. no.

[imthevicar]

14. Yet Americans

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.

[uhnope]

15. lol. you cite "critical thinking skills" while committing the logical fallacy of Strawman Argument

Putin can't point out the alleged "hypocrisy" of the US on human rights and freedom because he is a disgusting dictator who shits on human rights and freedom.

17. Set and Point!

The series launches on June 10 with five books: Blowback: America’s Recruitment of Nazis and Its Destructive Impact on Our Domestic and Foreign Policy by Christopher Simpson, The Phoenix Program: America’s Use of Terror in Vietnam by Douglas Valentine, The Search for an Abortionist: The Classic Study of How American Women Coped with Unwanted Pregnancy Before Roe v. Wade by Nancy Howell Lee, Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football by Dan E. Moldea, and The Lords of Creation: The History of America’s 1 Percent by Frederick Lewis Allen. Each of the first four titles includes a new introduction

5) The Lords of Creation: The History of America’s 1 Percent by Frederick Lewis Allen.

9. those are great books. We don't need Putin's TV's favorite conspiracy theorist

to harp about it

10. Haven't been on this site for awhile, but had to rec this.

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.

11. Yet another lesson about censorship coming from Russia. Yay.
