Eric, sounds interesting. Is this a Goodreads group?

Chris Ossman (fabianmockian) | 1 comments I am an author and dormant activist. I have recently released my latest book "Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America, which is an activists guide to addressing the biggest issues facing America and the World. I am a dormant activist, because attending rallies consisting of 12 to 20 protesters felt more like a waste of time that could have been better spent writing about my beliefs, value and suggestions for combating the problems we face today and in the future. On my blog IM2Opinionated.blogspot.com, my mission was to prevent mankind's seeming desire to be the first species on Earth to self-extinct. Wuth this goal in mind, I sought to not only address the issues that Humanity faces, but to provide possible answers to said problems. After all, we have been told what is wrong with this country for years, but few of our leaders, journalists or citizens held in high regard have offered answers. My hope in joining this group is to have the discussions that seem so lacking from the Fourth Estate.

Diarmaid (doconarin) | 1 comments Why You're Wrong Equality, Diversity & much more by Diarmaid Ó Conaráin

Hello group,
my name is Diarmaid Ó Conaráin. Aside from Underground Knowledge seeming like a group that is right up my alley, I have recently released my first title "Why You're Wrong: Equality, Diversity and much more", and I feel it is a book many of you may be interested in.
I have spent a lot of years "searching" I guess we could call it. I believe I am simply a curious soul, like many of yourselves, and I may never actually find an answer that will end my search. I also have a great interest in subjects like philosophy and psychology, and much of my time has been spent reading the writings of some of our greatest minds throughout history.

On the subject of Underground Knowledge, although I do not wish to appear overly blunt about my own self-promotion, I truly believe many of you may find the contents of my book interesting. I believe I am linking together popular issues with the most shocking agenda of our time, and I am willing to endure the potential negative opinions for being so forward, in the hopes of exposing an issue nobody in the public eye is willing to mention.

Anna C. (annacoy) Hi, my name is Anna I am in oil/watercolor artist from New York, passionately vegan/plant-based for two years, into fitness, yoga, self healing and self care for better mental health. Animal lover, Environmentalist and woman empowered. I am very interested in the time of Ancient Kemet, Egypt and the wholistic practices and studies they developed. In particular Ma’at. I like looking beneath the surface for the real stories of African colonization and the lies and immoral acts this country has been built on that trickles into todays corrupt government that profits from the sick and aims to keep ethnic groups (like myself) from developing and flourishing. And many more. I am a huge believer in the returning to Africa or our lands of origination and re-building and breaking ties with countries that are destabilizing these countries for profit and power. Unlearning what we’ve been taught to believe and relearning the truth. Saving our planet from the unsustainable businesses of the meat and dairy industries, usage of plastic and toxic waste, deforestation the list goes on... every single day at work and lessening my foot print on this earth and teaching others how to do so through lifestyle and diet changes.


message 855: by Marzio (new)

Marzio Fagioli | 2 comments Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and website and basically to reading.

Till recently I only ever read books when I had to either for school or uni (with a few exceptions). For long I thought reading wasn't really for me and I preferred learning from short articles or videos, until recently when I decided to change that in order to get all the benefits of reading and enjoying learning things in a much more insightful and colorful way.

I decided to join this group because I love the topics that are being discussed, I hope to learn more as well as share things that I've learned in the past.

Denisa Hello!
My name is Denisa. I live in Croatia and am economist.
I'm interested in all topics listed here. For the moment, I do some research in global warming and global cooling, Gulf stream slowing down, great Solar minimum and its impact on our planet. I have found very interesting Youtube videos and want to share with you.
Thank you for inviting me here.

message 857: by SusanAhh (new)

SusanAhh (susanlovesthatshesabibliophile) Hello,
I'm Susan...I am basically a seeker...maybe a published author someday. I am often at war with myself. On one hand I want to escape the dark pall cast over our world which has created a state of amnesia concerning the hard fought battles of the past for what is noble and good.
On the other hand...I want...no...I need to know about everything. Ignorance feeds the dark. If I am not even at the least sending the force of my intentions to try and heal the world and our nation...then I am part of the problem.
My experiences include service as an officer in the U.S. Army, and I worked for a number of "ethical" Pharmaceutical Companies. My formal education includes degrees in English and World Literature, as well as Music...among others. I sang on the professional opera stage.
Oh yes...I am an avid reader of romance...a guilty pleasure the woman in me has earned. ( After all I did indeed read Moby Dick cover to cover. 🙂) Some have their Sci Fi, comic book and other pedestrian pleasures, others romance. Although the writings of C. D. Reiss can give any writer a run for their money in thematic content, literary allusion and metaphor to include juicy conspiracy theories.
It is evident that there are some excellent thinkers in this group and I look forward to reading and learning from you. I am not sure what I can offer unless I notice something that may be of interest to the contributors of the threads as I learn about them.
I pray you can welcome an eccentric woman in your midst that you may be tempted to judge with a personal boxed label.
People can be surprising. One never knows who can contribute to your understanding of things or spark that most blessed of illuminations...inspiration.
Peace

Montzalee Wittmann (montziew) Thanks for the invite, last year was too busy to be much of a member but now I have more time. Looking around the group, it looks like I may feel at home here!


message 863: by Bob (new)

Bob Goddard There's a lot we are not told. For example, Iraq has confessed to having made 9,000 cubic yards of weapons-grade bot-tox (botulinum toxin). That's enough to kill every person on Earth 1000 times over. Not a single drop of bot-tox made in Iraq has ever been found. It is believed to be buried somewhere in the Iraqi desert.
This and much more is revealed in the book 'Mother Moon' which you can find here on Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

message 866: by yuzzy (new)

yuzzy (yusufii_king) | 23 comments Hi,
I have already introduced myself but that was quite a while ago so here i go again.
My name is Yusuf. I am A Utahn-Arab and I am thirteen. I want to help change and prevent the Earth from dying because of greed for resources. I also am trying to spread the word about conspiracies that turn out to be real.
I like paranormal, conspiracy, environmental related issues. I also enjoy writing and researching. The 5G issue is a big problem in Qatar. In Doha it is the worst. Every corner there is an internet tower. We moved out to another city because of that problem.
I joined this group because it turned out to be the most legit group on all issues of Earth. I appreciate this group for being.


message 867: by F. (new)

F. Andison (fscottandison) | 4 comments Hello,
My name is Scott. A couple of birthdays from now I'll be an official senior citizen of Canada - the country I've been lucky enough to live in all my life. When I worked for money I was an IT executive. Coming up twelve years ago I quit my job and started writing novels. Thank goodness my wife still works!
I joined this group a few months ago because I liked its theme. My personal goal as I get older is to keep my eyes open to see what is actually going on in the world but try to accept the reality without it impacting my own Zen over much. Sometimes that is pretty difficult!
I believe we ( the regular citizens of the world) are being sold a bill of goods and that our species interests are being ignored for the benefit of a very small few. This problem is certainly not new but the scope of the greed and its related impacts are unparalleled in human history.
People can make the difference if they realize their true self interest and exercise the full power they possess. Forums like this one might help germinate that realization.

He is gifted with phenomenal powers and set upon by powerful enemies who seek to destroy him. "A Voice in the Wilderness" is now available on Amazon.com. I would appreciate it if anyone who reads it would post a review.

Intriguing concept. Best of luck with the novel.

Do you think killing animals for food or sport will one day be viewed as something like murder?

W.L. Wright | 6 comments Hello all, I'm happy to join your troupe. When I leave outer space and come back to earth I like to hang out in the wild so this group works. i'm a full time author by trade and a slave to writing that isn't anything but a passion and a love.

For those that think my outer space reference means the real thing, well it is sort of because right now I am writing a science fiction and when I write I am inside the story and in this instance outer space for most of the day. Looking forward to contributing and reading.

Johanna (marieange) Hello everyone, thank you for the invite James :). I'm a book reviewer located in the USA (Missouri) with a deep interest in issues surrounding vaccines, gmos, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, autism, behavior, and natural health, and spend (way too) much of my free time researching them. Tbh I try to stay away from other darker/political "conspiracy" stuff, though I certainly don't discount much of it (I just need the peace of mind). This group sounds very interesting, and I appreciate the opportunity to learn and share, thanks! :)

Oliver Paglia | 2 comments Hello all and thank you for welcoming me to the group.

As the writer and journalist Peter Hitchens once said; "Conspiracies do happen, in Westminster they're called lunch."

It's a sentiment I very much agree with, and like to keep my ear to the ground for any unorthodox knowledge I might pick up.

My name is Oliver Paglia and I am also a published writer and independent filmmaker, currently in the process of finishing my Animal Kingdoms trilogy, as well as the odd screen play here and there.

Thanks again,

Oliver

Ost Neer | 2 comments Hi everyone,

My name is Ost Neer. I'm an automotive blogger and Ph.D. in social sciences. Today, I would like to present "An Introduction to Academic Driving" to you.

An Introduction to Academic Driving Stories of Cars and Science by Ost Neer

This is the first book from the "Academic Driving" series. 15 popular science articles about cars, societies, technologies, discoveries, music and even astrophysics. This book has NOTHING to do with boring academia; instead, it aims to entertain you with some light and curious stuff.

The book can be easily read in a number of everyday situations: while commuting in public transport, crawling in traffic jams, eating your favourite burger, dreaming about Mars, and others. The book is a perfect read for long road trips. If you have children, the book will keep them engaged on backseats.

The book may also help you passing exams at the College. It has that kind of potential, yeah!

So far, the book is available only in Kindle version (freely accessible through Kindle Unlimited). But the paperback is coming soon. And the paperback will be a completely different experience (thick, slick, and fully illustrated).

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

And yes, your honest reviews are more than welcome!

Truly,
Ost

Hi Ost - Not sure if your book qualifies as underground knowledge, but we'll let that slide for the moment. Regardless, welcome to the group (and good luck with your book)!

As for the book, it seems I understood the idea of "underground knowledge" somewhat broadly. Hope not too broadly :)

message 887: by Katherine (new)

Katherine  | 1 comments Hi! I’m a huge Shakespeare fan and YA reader. I love reading and discussing conspiracies! For my school’s newspaper, I run the ‘The Revolutionary, Shakespeare” column. In my last article, I discussed Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Not many people read it, because, well 13 & 14 year olds aren’t exactly fascinated by old literature. In Hamlet, I think there are many topics worth discussing. For example, Ophelia drowned herself in a river, but, what if, SHE WAS PUSHED??!!! I honestly love those theories. I am probably VERY young compared you everyone out here, but I love reading, conspiracies, and the great, big book community, so please accept me into this group! Thanks!
The dramatic and avid reader,
Kate The Great

Susan Shalev Hi,
I'm Susan Shalev. Can't call myself a young adult, rather a retiree who's young in spirit. I wanted to tell you about my new book, which is targeted at an adult/young adult audience. I notice that you discuss topics relating to Holocaust denial and neo-Nazism, so there's a fair chance you might like my book. And it's a great read, if I say so myself, even if the topic is not the usual stuff you discuss.

Of Bitter Herbs and Sweet Confections is a fictionalized memoir, based on real-life experiences. The book presents the story of Tanya, a Jewish teenager, as it unfolds over a ten-year period from 1939 to 1949. Tanya's exile, far away from the death camps of Europe, is a Holocaust novel with a difference, which opens a unique window on to a lesser known facet of this horrific chapter in history.

The book is highly recommended on Amazon and here on Goodreads.

In honor of Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day (today) I am running a free promotion on the Kindle ebook (May 2-5).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1729756050

I do hope you will check out the book - and if you read and enjoy it please review it. And I would love to receive feedback or questions.

Thanks.

If you think my background is interesting, wait till you read my book. It is based on the real life experiences of my late mother-in-law. Truth is stranger than fiction. Although I have fictionalized and embellished it to read as a novel the events and experiences are almost all authentic.
