The Creature from Jekyll Island is extremely enlightening so far. Moreso than any Bitcoin book I've read. I wonder if it would have been a good book to read when starting down the Bitcoin rabbit hole though.

It just keeps getting more and more insane too. Tied for the most radicalizing book with The Devil’s Chessboard for me.

I'll have to look into that one. I feel like I've heard the name before.

It’s about the CIA. Very interesting. Exceptionally dark. Made me anti-state to core, no exceptions. I’d like to read something similar on Mossad.

adding to the list, ty

I will definitely have to check that one out… thnx for the rec🫡

Damn it, another book for my backlog.

It will add to the distrust…

I just recently finished Chaos and that was insanely eye opening. I started Devil's Chessboard last night 😀

It was for me🤷🏽‍♂️🫡

Then it probably would have been 🤝

There seems to be no bad time to read the Creature.

Although both massive undertakings (large reads) in retrospect I’d recommend Lyn Alden’s “broken money” before “the creature” for most normies that aren’t already extremely skeptical of centralized powers.

Her book is less psychologically jarring if you’re not there yet in ur skepticism.

I did it the opposite way cuz her book wasn’t written yet (when I tackled creature) but I was already deeply in a libertarian mindset

I have broken money in print, and I'll probably read it after I finish The Big Print.

What really got me going down the rabbit hole was that anthology of Chomsky talks, Understanding Power.

yea

Knowing the problem first before knowing how to fix it makes more sense

Great read, should be mandatory when you go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole

Reading that book in 2001 and examining the things about 9/11 that didn’t mesh with what I knew about physics between 2001 and 2003 are the two things that finally woke me up to the fact that our governments and financial system are fully captured by a small group of psychopaths
