I’ve not seen it posted,
The Creature of Jekyll Island
By
Edward Griffin
It’s about the scumbags responsible for starting the federal reserve and how they did it. Really hits on a lot more than that and just shows you how far back the corruption of our government goes.

This is a 2011 appearance by Justice Scalia in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
- He laments the fact that people are not reading The Federalist Papers. Says we have raised a generation of Americans not familiar with them.
- When he speaks to various audiences he asks them, 'why do you think America is such a free country?'. The response are usually a recitation of items in the Bill of Rights. He says that is crazy. It's a 'parchment guarantee'. He says that a centralization of power destroys a Bill of Rights, and that it's the structure of our government that produces freedom, alluding to Separation of Powers, independent judiciary, bicameral arrangement in Congress, etc. He says this structure has prevented the centralization of power.
- He says people complain about gridlock but that is precisely what the Founders were looking for.
One of the things our Founders feared the most was a coalition among different branches of government. And that is precisely what we now have. I wonder what Scalia would say about things today.

Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinski
If you ever wondered why are things getting so weird. This tells you why and who is running the show.
He was Hillary Clinton's mentor.

Which is why I am drawn to early US politics (pre-war), Lincoln, secession, and the events leading up to the war. The stage was set for the eventual capture of power when the Constitution was signed.

It's not so much about politics per se, but Accidental Superpower by Peter Zeihan made the entire world make more sense.
Excellent book, spot on.

The profile of Senator John C. Calhoun in Forgotten Conservatives In American History alone is a must read for anyone interested how the American political system has devolved into tyranny. And an antidote to the big government “conservatism” represented by many of the titles mentioned in this thread.
I also recommend anything else written by Professor Clyde Wilson. For anyone interested, ask SCLibertarian for other recommendations — I believe he may have studied under him.
