Review: Inside Trump’s White House by Doug Wead

Doug Weld

3 Stars — Annoying Puff Piece that Glorifies Jared & Ivanka Kushner, Lacks Substance

I thought this book was going to be important so I looked at the index first (extremely good) and then the end notes (unprofessional and mediocre — URLs instead of full citations of author, title, publication, date). Then on page 7 the author calls Jared Kushner “brilliant” – this is the same Jared Kushner that was in the third out of five ranks in school, bought his way into Harvard, and took a $1B bribe from Qatar to save his failed business.

Review: The Constitution Needs A Good Party & rConstitution Papers

5 Star, America (Founders, Current Situation)
Amazon Page

Our government’s out of control: undeclared wars, abortion, agency after agency. Meanwhile, our government people have strong powers to not execute unconstitutional laws, to veto, and to repeal. What we’re missing is a good party with separated powers, enumerated powers, and offsetting powers, and with strong controls on the quality of its brand. Build a self-limited party and we’ll get a self-limited government.

Babette Bensoussan: Commercial Intelligence Choke Points — Why Businesses Fail to Make Good Decisions?

5 Star, Commercial Intelligence, Intelligence (Commercial)

Business and Competitive Analysis: Definition, Context, and Benefits

with Craig S. Fleisher

2007 CLASSIC

Most organizations today are not structured or organized properly to make good decisions that will help them outperform their competition in the marketplace.12

It is commonplace for this book's authors to hear from decisions makers who lament in retrospect: “If only I'd known that, I'd never have made that decision or taken that action.” Such comments reflect an absence of intelligence supporting the decision maker and the lack of greater insight behind their decisions and subsequent actions.

Donald Trump Jr.

5 Stars – Authentic, On Target, Reconciles with His Father

Amazon Page – #1 — Low Cost Buy!

From the early use of normal language, calling a moron a moron and using the vernacular as in “I don’t give a shit,” this book is authentic, charming, and informative.

Review: Hidden in Plain Sight – Beyond the X-Files

4 Star, Intelligence (Extra-Terrestrial), Military & Pentagon Power, Power (Pathologies & Utilization)
Amazon Page

Richard Sauder, PhD

4 Stars – The most recent of three books, the one to read if you read only one, but does NOT repeat all the maps, photos, and diagrams from first two

This book was published in 2010 and is the most recent of the three books that I bought and read, all quick reads.

It covers underground bases, undersea bases, long range magnetic levitation and pneumatic tunnel high-speed transport, and extraterrestials.

The author offers a conversational presentation, he does not use hyperbole, and does  his best to be balanced with what he can show is known.

Review: Underwater and Underground Bases

4 Star, Intelligence (Extra-Terrestrial), Military & Pentagon Power, Power (Pathologies & Utilization)
Amazon Page

Richard Sauder, PhD

4 Star Second book in series, focus on underwater cities and bases with emphasis on submarine pens and secret cross peninsula tunnels

As with the first book, this one published in 2001, it is a quick read and it includes diagrams, maps, and photographs. While not definitive, and the author is careful to distinguish between what he knows and what he speculates, this book is as good as it gets in terms of open source information covering what may be  the single most secretive (and Congressionally not authorized) program in the US inventory — the other would be the secret space program, also not authorized by Congress.
