A must watch coming this fall about Top Secret America.

Glenn Greenwald:
We chirp endlessly about the Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Democrats and Republicans, but this is the Real U.S. Government: functioning in total darkness, beyond elections and parties, so secret, vast and powerful that it evades the control or knowledge of [...]

Interesting movie about investigating 9-11. Always interested to see how people work conspiracy theories into a work of fiction. Not totally effective because it’s basically a conversation between two people about the attacks. But it’s effective because it’s about a skeptical reporter looking for info, rather than the non-skeptical point of view [...]

Netflix describes this movie as:
Radical left-wing bookstore owner Tom Flynn (Adam Nee) finds himself in the fight of his life when his suspicions surrounding the events of Sept. 11 land him on the radar of a group of nefarious conspirators. When he crosses paths with a mysterious woman who claims to be in possession of [...]

Bill Kristol wants to go to war with Iran because it will be easy.  Because he is to be trusted:
If we carried out a targeted campaign against Iran’s nuclear facilities, against sites used to train and equip militants killing American soldiers, and against certain targeted terror-supporting and nuclear-enabling regime elements, the effects [...]

This is totally riveting video. The indignation and the devout frustration coming from the makers of Loose Change. They seem genuinely sad that 9-11 isn’t being investigated. That’s what’s missing from trutherism – Alex Jones with his stupid bullhorn calls attention to himself. He’s like a carnival barker. But at [...]

Powerful, effective.  If the issue of 9-11 truth gives you jitters, you might be put off by part 2, but you should at least investigate it before dismissing it out of hand.  But part one makes an enormously compelling case for the cross-pollination of world myths and how Jesus’s death and resurrection is nothing more [...]

Thanks to Charles Dodd White for the interview with me on his site.  His blog is described as promoting the literature of the New South, which doesn’t quite describe me.  I’m New York born, Los Angeles raised, and live in L.A., but the bulk of the research and the early writing for this novel was [...]
