Russ Kick and what you're not supposed to knowFrom Disinfo.com:
Disinformation News Special Bulletin:
Disinformation Editor Russ Kick has been named one of Utne Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World":
 Russ Kick – Architect of Memory:
"I don't foresee a day when there is true government transparency," says Russ Kick, editor of TheMemoryHole.org. "It's just not in the nature of government." So, in lieu of the end of secrecy, Kick tenaciously ticks off small victories, such as finding an IRS guide to prosecuting money laundering, buried in the Federal Depository Library, and using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to unearth photographs of U.S. military prisons.
Since 2002, Kick has preserved hundreds of cultural artifacts, including that five-minute clip of President Bush reading to schoolchildren on 9/11 after an aide whispered to him that the nation was under siege. Kick edits a series of anthologies for Disinformation, a radical media organization. [This year] look for an updated edition of 2001's You Are Being Lied To, called (appropriately) You Are STILL Being Lied To.
The best you hope for, Kick says, is that an inspired citizen files an FOIA request of his or her own.
Russ Kick is the author of 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know, Volumes 1 and 2, and The Disinformation Book of Lists. He is the editor of Everything You Know Is Wrong and Abuse Your Illusions.
His next anthology You Are STILL Being Lied To will be available in December 2008.
Russ Kick assembles an unprecedented group of researchers — investigative reporters, political dissidents, academics, media watchdogs, scientist-philosophers, social critics, and rogue scholars — to paint a picture of a world where crucial stories are ignored or actively suppressed and the official version of events has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
Featuring essays from Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Howard Bloom, Sydney Schanberg, Michael Parenti, Riane Eisler, Jim Marrs, and many others!
YOU ARE STILL BEING LIED TO:

Down down Downard After his comprehensive and detailed tomes on the Manson myths and legends and on Kerry Thornley (founder of Discordianism), "crackpot historian" Adam Gorightly is ready with his biography on the legendary James Shelby Downard and his life long self-imposed struggle against masonic "sorcery":
Mind Control, occult scenarios, conspiracy and ritual crimes ... In “James Shelby Downard’s Mystical War,” author Adam Gorightly chronicles the famed conspiracy researcher’s life long battles against Masonic Sorcery as an investigator and exposer of the Science of Symbolism, Onomatology (Science of Names) and Mystical Toponomy (Science of Places). “James Shelby Downard’s Mystical War” picks up where Downard left off and follows the bread crumbs down a rabbit hole where only the brave (or crazy!) dare follow.
Available through amazon.com and virtualbookworm.com
"Adam Gorightly is one of the great divers into the mnemonic deep. If his readers come away with less than the definitive answers about the arcane creatures that populate these waters–from Kerry Thornley to Charlie Manson to James Shelby Downard–it will be only because they have become exhausted by the swim." - Kenn Thomas, Steamshovel Press
"Adam offers a unique take on virtually every conspiracy of our time. There are few answers to Adam’s rants, but they pose questions only the brave or seriously warped would dare ponder." –Erskine Payton, "Erskine Overnight"
"Adam Gorightly is a ‘crackpot historian’ of the highest order!" - Victor Thorn, wingtv.net

Hold Brillan! 25 år etter første Ch. Nielsen-hefte ("Fedme", 1983) og 28 år etter sin første publiserte serie (i Gateavisa, 1980), er det nå tid for en egen "Hold Brillan!"-bok fra Christopher Nielsen. Boka heter "Bygdegutar", kommer ut på No Comprendo Press i dag, og er på 192 sider i FARGER. Tegneseriefans generelt, og gamle Ch. Nielsen-fans i særdeleshet vil kjenne sin besøkelsestid. To episke bøker til skal komme innen år 2019 ...
Fra Dagbladet.no's artikkel fra 25/9:
Den temperamentsfulle trønderen, kjent fra tegnefilmen om Jimmy og flere tidligere tegneserier, har fått sin egen publikasjon - på hele to hundre sider.
Og hele greia er blitt et eventyr i god, gammel serietradisjon. Influert av amerikansk undergrunn, fransk-belgiske eventyrserier og norsk samtid:
- Den er litt lysere enn ting jeg tidligere har lagd, selv om det er mange av de samme ingrediensene. (...) Den er litt mer folkelig, sier serieskaperen til Dagbladet.no.

Headpress #28 New titles out now from Headpress/Critical Vision in the UK:
HEADPRESS #28: "THIS EDITION OF HEADPRESS HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED BY THE HEADPRESS PANTHERS!"
Edited by John Sinclair, HEADPRESS 28 marks the fortieth anniversary of the original White Panthers movement and heralds the launch of the "HEADPRESS PANTHERS", which celebrates the union with historical counterculture figure, social reformer and living legend, John Sinclair, to spread "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO UNPOPULAR CULTURE", thus promoting free speech through independent writing and art without boundaries.
BAD MAGS VOL 1: The flip side of popular culture as seen through magazines and tabloids. BAD MAGS collects the colourful and sometimes shocking news-stand publications of the 1960s through to the 1980s. Chapters are divided into subject categories for easy reference, such as sexploitation, Ed Wood Jr, and outlaw bikers.
KEEP IT TOGETHER! - Cosmic boogie with the Deviants and Pink Fairies. This is the remarkable story of London’s communal bands of the 1960s and 1970s, from the perspective of two of its most crucial exponents.
Coming Soon:
IT'S ALL GOOD - A John Sinclair Reader + CD: IT’S ALL GOOD illuminates John Sinclair’s legendary period as a cultural revolutionary and political prisoner, manager of the MC5, Chairman of the White Panther Party, producer of the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival and director of the Detroit Jazz Center. There’s evidence too of Sinclair’s years at WWOZ Radio in New Orleans, where he was voted the city’s favorite DJ. IT'S ALL GOOD includes an exclusive thirteen track CD, which features music performances by John Sinclair, Wayne Kramer (MC5) and others.
