50 Things You'Re Not Supposed to Know by Russ Kick

Russ Kick has proved himself a master at uncovering facts that they would prefer you never hear about. The rapid success of the largeformat Disinformation Guide series edited by Kick has only whetted a roaring public appetite for more revelations about government coverups, scientific scams, corporate crimes, medical malfeasance, historical whitewashes, media manipulation, and other knockyoursocksoff secrets and lies.

This CDsized book packs a powerful punch in a small, attractive package intended for impulse and gift purchases, as well as serving as a handy reference book. Among Kick's amazing discoveries, all thoroughly documented:

The first genetically modified humans have already been born.
• Hitler's blood relatives are living in the U.S.
• The CIA commits over 100,000 serious crimes per year.
• The U.S. planned to explode an atomic bomb on the moon.
• An atomic bomb was dropped on North Carolina.
• The main hero of the movie Black Hawk Down is a convicted child molester.
• The discoverer of HIV no longer believes the virus is the sole cause of AIDS.
• Kent State wasn't the only massacre of U.S. college students during the Vietnam era.
• Lincoln didn't free any slaves.

A uniquely valuable tool to debunk modern mythology and the people and institutions serving it up.

Best-selling anthologist RUSS KICK (You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know Is Wrong, among others) informed a whole generation of Americans with the hard truths of American politics and created a media frenzy for being the first to publish suppressed photographs of American flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq. The New York Times dubbed Kick an information archaeologist, Details magazine described him as a Renaissance man, and Utne Reader named him one of its 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World. Then, in 2009, Kick embarked on an entirely new kind of project, returning to his love of literature and art, and to comics art in particular. For his groundbreaking new series of books The Graphic Canon, Kick has commissioned new work from over 170 artists, as well as reintroduced existing work that wasn't easy to find. With over 35,000 copies in print of the first three volumes, The Graphic Canon series has been welcomed by a wide range of different types of media, from traditional print to comics blogs, from NPR and the New York Times to Wired and Maria Popova's Brain Pickings blog, which have all hailed Kick as a visionary, expanding readers' visual vocabulary through the creation of a new kind of canon.
