Winter Reading List

Winter Reading List

I hope y’all had a wonderful holiday season and you’re ready for tomorrow because it’s back to the grindstone. Over the last two weeks, I have been working on my reading list. Actually, reading my way through it. Let’s talk about the reason for my choices. We have been told for years to shame anyone who spoke of Communism and/or Socialism with a favorable tune. Why? They are bad. They don’t work. They enslave people. To a point these are right. There have been people come into leadership in countries like Russia who had a serious ax to grind with a government.  They eventually take it out on the very people who helped them come to power. IE Stalin. His dad was an alcoholic and he was abusive to Stalin along with his mom. Lenin’s older brother tried to start a revolution, that Lenin would carry out, and tried to kill the Czar. His brother was hung for his trouble. More of Sasha refused to apologize and beg for mercy. Anyway, if anyone had tried to tell me as a kid that Communists taught people who were Russian Serfs how to read, I would have laughed at them and walked away. Turns out that is true.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
