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."
