Cmdr David Fravor (Tic Tac) and Bob Lazar (Rozwell) have revisited some pretty compelling content within the last year or soRaceBannon said:Read this years ago by the Colonel in charge of reverse engineering Roswell tech. Even more plausible today. We sure had a leap the last half of the 20th century. Confirmation bias? I think we will be told aliens are real soon. We are being groomed for it

I read this a few years ago and thought it was pretty good as far as government conspiracies are concerned. Supposedly the author committed suicide by shooting himself in the head multiple times...don’t know if there’s any truth to it, but it made me want to read the book.

I'm assuming this is a cataclysmic read.PurpleThrobber said:Jess Walter has some good reads:
The Financial Lives of the Poets, Citizen Vince, Ruby Ridge
The Last Tsar on Netflix is pretty solid.Doog_de_Jour said:
Pretty much...but it’s the most fascinating train wreck of a dynasty. It’s also interesting seeing how the politics were influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church.GrundleStiltzkin said:
TL;DR, "Russians are the most fucked up white people on the planet."Doog_de_Jour said:I’ve been on a Russian history kick lately - very readable and helps one understand how the country got to have an autocrat like Putin:
It's about a newspaper reporter in Spokane experiencing financial troubles so he starts selling weed to make a dent in things.
Not coincidentally, Jess Walter was a reporter in Spokane at one time.
His book on Ruby Ridge (non-fiction) is really good.
If you like Sherman Alexie, Jess Walter has a similar style. Except he's not an @swaye rez boi.

Great fucking book. Also recommend this:GrundleStiltzkin said:I may have thrown this out before, but deserves second if so.
Meticulous research.
Red Platoon is the story of the final battle at COP Keating and the 2 books should be read together. 1 of the 2 Medal of Honor winners ended up at Fort Lewis around 2010. -

If the Dems wanted to beat Trump, they’d nominate him.
But they don’t so oh well.
