Below is the Annotated Bibliography that completed ELECTION 2008: Lipstick on the Pig. It was designed to be a “handbook” of sorts on Reality. We like to paraphrase Trotsky, with a tip of the hat to Alvin Toffler who quoted him in War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century:
“You may not be interested in reality, but reality is interested in you.”
Trotsky was referring to war. For the Public Intelligence Blog, reality is war, and our worst enemies are domestic in nature, causing self-inflicted wounds vastly more fatal than any foreign armed adversary could produce at any cost. The categories in the graphic below are repeated legibly below the graphic. This Blog superceeds the below bibliography, which only cover about 500 of the 1500+ books that are more easily accessed here within the Blog–as a gift to others, however, the below document can be useful as a starting point. This is all the stuff neither the government nor the media are willing to cover seriously in the public interest.
