Book Review: American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us
It shouldn’t matter whether you believe in one, some, many, or all of the “conspiracy theories” discussed in “American Conspiracies” to be able to take a more critical look at each event and decide for yourself what you believe to be the truth. As we state on attrition.org’s Charlatans page: “Read the material with a grain of salt; don’t implicitly trust us. Make your own decisions based on all the facts you can find, not just what you read here”. Whether or not you agree with Ventura’s take on each chapter of the book, at the very least “American Conspiracies” is an interesting read about some of the most historical (and tragic) events in United States history.

Book Review: The Safety Minute :01
Disclaimer: I “virtually” know Robert Siciliano through email contact over the last 2-3 years. During that time, he has shown wit and charm in his responses to our questions and observations. However, my opinion as to his actual experience / expertise with security as it relates to computers and networks will not be touched on in this review; do your own research and come to your own conclusions.
[…]
The Safety Minute :01 is geared to be a guide to personal safety over many different realms. Physical safety, with an emphasis on home and physical defense, appear to be the overall goals to reach the reader, but they often stray a bit into areas that might come from a “movie of the week”. As you read through it, your judgement is the best one to use, not anyone else’s (as Siciliano points out, to his credit.) The self-assessment on pages 4 and 5 are a big of an early warning red flag, especially #13. “Do you use alcohol or drugs? Even occasionally?” smacks slightly of self-righteousness, and I can think of at least one person (hi, hellnbak) who could probably kick my ass, your ass and Robert’s ass all at once while high and drunk… and while getting blown by a stripper.
