This List is a Hit
Russ is kicking some serious butt these days, opening a veritable flag draped coffin full of worms for all the world to see, as well as his excellent detective work via his facile use of Adobe Acrobat Reader to reveal the New York Justice Departments attempt at censoring info. on their very own website. Having made the front page of the New York Times with these grass root efforts, more and more of the mainstream media is paying attention to the growing clout that renegade activists such as Kick are getting. In Russs book, 50 Things Youre Not Supposed to Know, the editor of such works as Abuse Your Illusions, You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know is Wrong, shares his journalistic knack for unearthing some of the more unsavory factoids of life and comes up with a Top 50 list that corporate media and our perpetually dumbing down government would rather keep under the lid if it could.

Light on the unknown
In his latest book, Russ Kick brings together more little known or unknown facts for public consumption. While some of these tidbits are not surprising, they are all interesting, and luckily he includes some references for additional reading. Some of the more interesting were about the real Ten Commandments, the actual legal obligations of the police, the power of juries, and the other massacres of college students during the Vietnam conflict.

Customer Review #3:
A Treasure!
Take it from someone who has been running a progressive Web site for five years--this book packs plenty of surprises even for those of us who regularly explore well beyond the sterile transmissions emanating from the mainstream media.At under $10, this book is an excellent gift for folks who remain complacent and unduly optimistic about the steadily degrading state of affairs in the United States. The best part about the book is that it includes impeccable sources for each of the "50 Things Youre Not Supposed to Know". That way, readers dont need to take the author at his word. Theyre welcome to verify the details for themselves.
