Summary
"This book acts as a battering ram against the distortions, myths and outright lies that have been shoved down our throats by the government, the media, corporations, organized religion, the scientific establishment and others who want to keep the truth from us
"You'll discover that a human being has already been cloned
Joseph McCarthy was not paranoid
museums refuse to display artifacts that conflict with the theory of evolution
the CIA has admitted to involvement in the drug trade
parents don't affect who their children become
plus further revelations involving Columbine, WWII, textbooks, Al Gore, George W. Bush, Timothy Leary and much more."--BOOK JACKET
A group of researchers - investigative reporters, political dissidents, academics, media watchdogs, scientist-philosophers, social critics and rogue scholars - paints a picture of a world where crucial stories are ignored or actively suppressed and the official version of events has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. A world where real dangers are downplayed and nonexistent dangers are trumpeted. In short, a world where you are being lied to."
