t r u t h o u t | Dear Readers,
The holiday season is approaching, and it's a good time to begin stocking up on progressive gifts! Truthout's "picks of the month" for October include compelling, independently produced books and DVDs that make great presents for a loved one - or for yourself.
"*Here are the latest gifts you can receive with a donation to Truthout:*"
*Michael Moore's "Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life"* [ http://members.truth-out.org/bgift58-gift/choose-type-donation ]: After taking on General Motors, the National Rifle Association, the Bush Administration, the health industry and Wall Street - among other nemeses - Michael Moore puts pen to paper and writes a rollicking memoir. Born into a middle-class family, Moore developed an early sense of social justice, along with a penchant for injecting humor into the underbelly of outrage. Moore is the guy who put a crime scene tape around the New York Stock Exchange in "Capitalism: A Love Story."
*Ron Suskind's "Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President"* [ http://members.truth-out.org/bgift57-gift/choose-type-donation ]: [ http://members.truth-out.org/bgift57-gift/choose-type-donation ] Frank Rich says of "Confidence Men," "It's the most ambitious treatment of this period yet because [Ron] Suskind integrates the White House story with the Wall Street story, giving them equal weight rather than downsizing one to serve as the backdrop to the other. He is truly after the big picture, not just the petty stuff." Suskind names his sources - including President Barack Obama - in this behind-the-scenes, nonfiction political drama that forebodes the future of the United States.
*"Killing the Cranes: A Reporter's Journey Through Three Decades of War in Afghanistan"* [ http://members.truth-out.org/bgift56-gift/choose-type-donation ]: The Afghanistan war has been going on so long that most Americans have almost forgotten about it, but the deaths of GIs and Afghan civilians continue. At a time when the US budget debate is framed around reducing our national deficit, the conflict in that faraway land has consumed hundreds of billions of dollars - with no end in sight. Howard Dean calls this "the most thorough and knowledgeable book on Afghanistan I have come across, and his conclusions about what has gone wrong and what can be done about it are unassailable."
*"The Billionaires' Tea Party" (DVD)* [ http://members.truth-out.org/bgift32-gift/choose-type-donation ]: This is a Truthout favorite, and provides a great introduction to how the Tea Party became a bought-and-sold "faux" populist movement. Although the Tea Party members - ranging from demented birthers to calm pawns - view themselves as being a spontaneous uprising, "The Billionaires' Tea Party" makes a persuasive case that this movement - saturated in corporate media coverage - was orchestrated strategically by right-wing organizations, most notably Americans for Prosperity, the chief front operation for the Kochs.
As always, if you have a recommendation for a progressive pick, please - as always - forward it to mark@truthout.org [ mailto:mark@truthout.org?subject=%5BProg.%20Pick%5D ]. We appreciate your input.
"*And watch next week for the popular 2012 Peace Calendar.*" It's a daily reminder that dreams can become realities.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team
