Once again Michael Crichton gives us his trademark combination of page-turning suspense, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research. State of Fear is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on how information is manipulated in the modern world.

A true fiction story
Revisado: 02-25-25
I’ve read a lot of books without politics in reality climate changed the last few years. Spent a lot of time reading about Marxism, postmodernism, United Nations of globalism, and how it fits into the climate story.
Just finished reading Brian Sussman’s book Climategate. It dovetails beautifully in the several others. I have been reading lately. Climategate dealt literally with that title, which was given to a scam uncovered between Michael Mann, whose hockey stick graph took us down. This path were on in relation to the UNIPCC sat was a friend to Fred singer who along with his long time science collaborator Roger rebelled among the earliest climate scientists who were studying what was called the greenhouse gas effect.
Rebelled and singer were not just scientist, they were climate scientists focused on measuring and understanding the gases and particles made up the atmosphere. They were both on the ground floor instrumental and developing fall detection methods for measuring temperature and CO2, nitrogen, argon, methane, oxygen, everything that made up the atmosphere. They developed it for NASA.
They both got mine is the narrative of the studies done by the UNIPCC for hijacked in the mid 1990s by a rewrite of a peer review study that said there was no scientific consensus that CO2 was responsible for any of the things they claimed. Like state of fear shows these claims are illusions and lies. The brilliant part of this book is that it shows how and why this was able to happen.
Stephen Koonin, deputy science advisor to Obama, and not some right wing climate denier as they might say, and his book unsettled, also explains how this happened. The stories that are making the news and the evaluation of the studies do not tell us the whole story.
The report I want to study shows, but they leave out and it says there’s a 0 to 10% chance it’s gonna ever happen. They make three studies together with different degrees of confidence, and report the whole thing is 100% gonna happen. Most of the stories and most of what is written is done by climate synthesizer. People that take the studies of all sorts including ones they know aren’t reliable and put them together in a narrative that fits what they want to say.
State of fear briefly mentions the little ice age, but didn’t mention the medieval warming period that preceded that it from 900 to 1350 AD. The Earth temperature then was about 1.4°F warmer than it is today. No cars. Basic bottom wine was Michael Mann did not include the medieval warming period or little ice age, leaving it out to show warming from 1970 to 1990s and a hockey stick looking graph because they manipulated the data.
All of the evidence presented by state of fears characters, especially in the conversations with the Hollywood star or like the book Plato‘s Republic, where Plato speaks through the mouth of Socrates. Crichton is using his lead character to represent all of the actual news about climate that has been ignored by the mainstream media.
The football field example to create a visual as to how small a portion of the atmosphere, the CO2 represents, is straight out of Brian Sussman‘s Climategate. Of course with all the research that he did for this book, it’s also quite possible that you got that reference from wherever Sussman had originally gotten it.
His recommendations at the end on how to avoid bias and misrepresentation by scientist and their studies created by, I need to get grants, particularly the reference to blind grants where they don’t know the money where the money is coming from is brilliant.
This book is a very entertaining way to get a lot of real climate truth.

Historia
The revised and expanded third edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science forms the capstone of the distinguished astrophysicist Dr. S. Fred Singer’s lucid, yet hard scientific look at climate change. And the book is no less explosive than its predecessors—and certainly never more timely. Singer explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data and the failures of climate models, as well as the impact of solar variability, clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate—plus factors that could mitigate any human impact on world climate.

Excellent telling of a complex economic tale
Revisado: 03-27-24
First I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your book permanent distortions. For someone to fully appreciate collusion, reading that first would definitely be helpful.
I’ve been studying economics on my own for several years and find your intellectual honesty refreshing. You are obviously somewhat farther to the left politically than I am, and I cringed at what I found to be gratuitous comments about Trump which had nothing to do with the story, but I will read anything you write about economics.
I would love for you to give Jennifer Burns a call. I’m sure you’re familiar with her and her recent publication Milton Friedman the last conservative. His contribution to economics Is enormous and the application of his monetary theory by Paul Volcker as told by Jennifer Burns is fascinating.
In permanent distortion you tell the story of the unraveling of what I would consider the natural law of economics, supply and demand, consumption function, effects of creating or conjuring as you said all this money out of nowhere has led to unexpected consequences On a massive global scale. I’d love for you to write about what I consider to be the use of reverse repos To help keep cash out of the real economy as well as other tricks they’ve used.
I just specially like for you to give Jennifer Burns a call and for you guys to Co-author a book on the. Especially from 2007 Forward. With your expertise in hindsight, I would like for you to evaluate the effect of Lynn and Johnson‘s war on poverty and Vietnam war expenditures at the same time implementing the Kennedy tax cuts which is I understand it was the real beginning of the inflation that would run rampant at the end of Jimmy Carter’s term and lead to his losing the election.
The delays associated with the actions that are being taken cause so much misinterpretation of what’s going on in the economics globally. I’d like your evaluation of the feds basically taking on the liability for every dollar in every bank even though they’re not officially insured as a result of the Silicon Valley banks bail out. I’ll stop here you know the list. Please give Jennifer Burns a call. I am waiting for that book!

Historia
The half-century before the Civil War was beset with conflict over equality as well as freedom. Beginning in 1803, many free states, claiming the authority to maintain the domestic peace, enacted laws that discouraged free African Americans from settling their boundaries and restricted the rights to testify in court, move freely from place to place, work, vote, and attend public school. But over time, African American activists and their white allies, often facing mob violence, courageously built a movement to fight these racist laws.

Learned a lot of details yet still disappointed
Revisado: 03-27-24
First I like to get out of the way my low score for the presentation. I’m not usually very picky about this but I found the voice of the reader to be awfully sing song all the way through the book.
A ton of interesting and interrelated storylines that help add to the layers of issues that marked the times especially in the sense of questions of citizenship and status even of free Blacks of the time. I thought that Frederick Douglass Wasn’t given the space in the book what he deserved. While dealing with these issues of the fugitive slave act and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision that lead to a few anecdotes of slaves leaving the country to Canada in particular, I thought it was a real omission not to talk about how Frederick Douglass fled to England for several years. It wasn’t until his freedom was purchased by an evolution of script that he returned.
I felt like the first inaugural address lacked Total context omitting Lincolns literal pleas to the southern states of which only seven states had seceded at the time Not to leave the union because of slavery. He made it clear that he had no intention of outline or getting rid of slavery in the states and where she was already established legally. In fact he also referred a detail to the Corwin Amendment which had recently passed in congress and was ready to Submitted to the states for ratification which would guarantee that Congress would not pass a law outlawing slavery.Ironically that would’ve been the 13th amendment had a past which would’ve been the exact opposite of the ultimate 13th amendment freed the slaves four years later.
She also spent no time talking about the preliminary emancipation proclamation which Lincoln previewed to Frederick Douglass in September 1862. It called not for freeing and integrating freed slaves into the society in general, but for sending them to colonies in South America. Douglas was outraged and wrote stories about this in oppositionAnd his Northstar. He did of course modify it before it was issued in January 1863.
In general, I feel like she let Lincoln off the hook, as well as many others in the north.
I would highly recommend anyone reading this book to also read Frederick Douglass third autobiography. You can skip the first two they’re incorporated almost verbatim in the third. It includes the story of the unveiling of the Lincoln statue in Washington that has been the subject of debate in the last couple of years. Many from the left wanted it removed because there’s a slave kneeling at his feet with broken chains. That statue was purchased entirely of money donated by three slaves as organized by Frederick Douglass. Previous attempts to raise the money for his failed. He delivered the speech on the 10th anniversary of Lincoln‘s assassination.He really lays out in plain detail much of his relationship with Lincoln which was not positive. He did however overall praise Lincoln very much for the role he played in the The actual emancipation that follow the war to replace the executive action which Shirley would’ve been declared unconstitutional.
In spite of these negative comments I’m very glad to read this book. Like much of Barbara Tuckman’s works It’s history through a fire hose interweaving many layers of a lot of stuff that was going on at the same time. That’s the only way you can understand these things. I think her for taking the time and effort to put this together for us. But find a new reader!

I wanted to like it more; it’s like it was written by three different people
Revisado: 01-01-24
I was glad to see that he had moved away from his circular definition of racism in the original version or at least in the discussion I saw when he was interviewed on TV a couple of years ago.
I was impressed by his intellectual honesty and ability be self critical.
However, with no understanding or what appears to be limited understanding economics of the history of economics with the history of Marxism and the role it’s played in the developing of CRT related studies, I found pretty much what I was expecting ultimately.
For anyone else interested, If you do have a Bing AI query related to a small group of Marxist who got together in 1923 to reevaluate what it happened to Marxism and how it seems to have lost its war with capitalism you’ll find some very interesting information. Among the individuals that was at that meeting was Herbert Marcuse. At that meeting they founded the Frankfurt school, Which is 1937 under the guidance of Marcuse created critical theory. Forgive my microphone typing, the C and the T should be capitalized like so many other ideological definitions which use regular words but don’t mean that at all. You also should find in the being explanation that they were critical and found fault with Marx‘s original classical definition of class struggle. They found his ““orthodox” Or classical description of a struggle between those who control the means of production in the proletariat to be lacking and then it didn’t take into account what they consider to be the important aspect of cultural distinctions. This is literally the beginning of of identity politics.
All of these individuals were Jewish Marxist, many of who supported Hitler until he began rounding up and killing Jews many of them fly to America in 1937, Marcuse among them. He like many others ended up at Ivy League schools as professors. in the earlier mid 60s he moved west became involved in student movements, activism, antiwar protest, increasingly weaving is neoMarxist/cultural Marxist ideology into the university bloodstream.
They did this because they realize they lost the economic class warfare which is what Marx wrote about. They toss him overboard like he tossed Hegel overboard, is one time mentor and professor.
They couldn’t be capitalism on economics, so they made it about racism. Listen to the number times on TV on call and shows especially C-SPAN how many people in a day will refer to the problem being capitalism with regards to our white institutional racism etc.
The last chapter was particularly disappointing. He took all different Direction after discussing his cancer struggles. And ended up sounding like Marx which ever you might be inclined to stretch the possibilities of the first seven or eight major points of communism, when you get to that part about the state withering away, anybody with any knowledge of human nature knows that’s nonsense. Anybody with any knowledge of history or anything has happened in prior so-called communist revolutions, knows it isn’t gonna happen.
Marx said the last place on earth the communist revolution was gonna happen was in Russia. That’s because they had no industrialization To speak of from whom the revolutionary proletariat base would rise from. Lenin did not lead a communist revolution. He led a Leninist revolution a vanguard movement of elite Inteligencia they were snuck into Russia in 1917 after he made a deal with them to take over from The tsar And make peace with the German so they can move their troops all to the Western front. Read Bloodlands. Read the origins of totalitarianism by Hanah arandt Who escaped communism in 1951. Find out the real history and source behind these movements today which is all power-play in a scam.
That’s not to say that there aren’t problems. That’s not to say there’s not a lot to do. But Republicans are not Nazis or fascist. Both of those economic and political structures are socialist, collectivist,Corporatist And that is as far away from the basis of constitutional republic’s with a free market system. The only thing conservatives conserve is the constitution which is the basis for real of law and the means for legal steady change over time.
Take a bit to study with Lenin and Stalin and Mao with other groups and people who worked with them on their way to overthrowing the existing forms of government. All movements have a spectrum from left to right even if overall they’re leftist. Listen to marxist.org videos and they acknowledge but it ain’t gonna be so peaceful once Socialism begins and they move toward more active taking of personal property from folks. They just don’t wanna let it get as bad as Winstar when was in charge of Russia.
I end it here Pointing out in conclusion, differ those carrying out this woke agenda, which is Neo Marxism or cultural Marxism based on that little old 1923 meeting and everything that’s happened cents, and oh yeah don’t forget to read William Foster’s writings from prison and 1932 or you explains what the program is which looks exactly like what’s been accomplished, you need to understand where the Stuff came from and who’s pulling the strings.

The final chapter is a true tour de force. I’m numb.
Revisado: 09-20-23
I was drawn to this book bio reference in Bloodlands which tells a story of the mass murder generated by Hitler and Stalin between 1930to 1945. It ended in part by telling of a person named Hannah ahrent her survival of Soviet Russia in writing of this book in 1951.
I’ve been working to understand the nature of dialectic and historical materialism, its origin and meaning. From Hegel to Marx To Lenin, Stalin and to today’s neo Marxist extensions they came from the Frankfurt school in 1937 to the shores of the United States, and through the works of Marcuse and others found their ways into the bloodstream of the American education system and ultimately in our body politic.
The final chapter chillingly pulls all of these elements together. Import showing the tools of totalitarianism which include the isolation of the individual and how that leads to loss of common sense and common experience is a way to evaluate ideologies dealing with race and class the permeate much of the media in classrooms.
This book is a tough read. Unless you’ve been studying Philosophy and political movement all your life you will learn a lot. Don’t skip the details. You’ll need them and anything else you’ve read it’s understand chapter 13 fully. It’s worth it. God help us if enough people don’t understand it and act upon it before social media and all the otherTools acting against our young and growing minds Complete the task of creating the isolation required for this totalitarian ideology to succeed.

Two months after D-Day, the Allies found themselves in a stalemate in Normandy, having suffered enormous casualties attempting to push through hedgerow country. Troops were spent, and American tankers, lacking the tactics and leadership to deal with the terrain, were losing their spirit. General George Patton and the other top US commanders needed an officer who knew how to break the impasse and roll over the Germans - they needed one man with the grit and the vision to take the war all the way to the Rhine. Patton and his peers selected Maurice Rose.

Revisado: 07-23-23
I’ve read hundreds of history books. This is one of the most engaging. About the halfway point I found it impossible to put down. The story of Maurice rose is a tribute to him as well as those who fight against Fascism and Nazism and makes today’s use of these words or descriptions an embarrassment to those using them to tour their conservative political opponents.
Read Dinesh Desousa’s the big lie for the best explanation of the origins of fascism and Nazism and how They are now being misrepresented. It’s an amazing bird that does an excellent job explaining what happened to the Marxist after World War I it has many surprises for those who have little experience in researching this.

What is "the big lie" of the Democratic Party? That conservatives - and President Donald Trump in particular - are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a fascist threat in America - but that threat is from the Left and the Democratic Party.

Revisado: 07-05-23
I got the book without looking at the title. I must confess that I was a little alarmed by it. However haven’t completed it I can see that he’s 100% right. As usual I do consider will follow up research of my own. If you look up Fascism in Wikipedia the first sentence says that it’s a right wing political movement. Sure the party and Socialism atheism statism, Stymieing of free speech, promoter of population control and abortion – yeah that sure sounds right wing OK. It’s right out of the left-wing playbook for the last 20 years or actually since 1937. Be sure to stop in at Wikipedia and get a brief knowledge of the Frankfurt school. Also do a little bit of research and you find the Marxist were quite alarmed after World War I in determining that they had lost to the capitalist and they had to find another method of stirring up the revolution. He makes a great and accurate point that Mark didn’t call for a communist revolution with the industrial proletariat rising up against capitalist, he just expected it based on his research in 1847 when he published the communist manifesto. Democracies adjusted life got better and there was no way to communist revolution was ever going to happen. Lenism Or Bolshevism, a version of a Marxist uprising of disenchanted masses led by political elites and Inteligencia is not the same thing but that’s what happened. ReadKarl Marx, he himself said Russia would be the last country on the planet to have a communist revolution, Wonderfully research book. Thanks Dinesh

His explanation of the history of mutual funds and exchange traded funds combined with movements in corporate responsibility leading to ESG , And the cabal of E.S.G. rating companies proxy voting advisers and so much more will give you a very clear understanding of how we got here. He will also have you very clearly understanding how we’ve got to get away from where we are. Read the book! And don’t forget his other two.
