You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths
You Are Being Lied To is a massive collection of articles that
ruthlessly destroy the distortions, myths, and outright lies that are
fed to us by the government, the media, corporations, history books,
organized religion, science and medicine, and society in general. No one
is spared, and all sacred cows are candidates for the grinder.
Do you believe any of the following?

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. An unprecedented 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.
Among the revelations inside:
anything that has preceded it is the sheer breadth of topics covered.
That alone makes it hard to categorize the book - part media criticism,
part political science, part activist rhetoric, and on and on. There are
articles, such as Howard Bloom's attack on Islam, that infuriated me.
But there's always a balancing piece (in this case one by Ali Abunimah),
often leaving one confused as to who to believe. Perhaps that's the
point - even within this book there are conflicting views, requiring the
reader to make choices and actually think about what he or she is
reading. All in all, this is the best book I've come across for
debunking accepted wisdoms and making you think for yourself. Oh, one
more thing - it's HUGE and an amazing value!"

"As the first of a series of disinfo mega-tomes from Russ Kick, You Are
Being Lied To kicks you right in the balls and makes you take notice of
your own programming.
Whether you're a newbie to alternative sources of info, or an old pro and digging
beneath the surface, YABLT has something for you. I've lent it to friends and
coworkers -- people dig it, and with good reason: red pills taste better in the
long run than blue ones. :)"
