Anyone can go to a public library, read a book for free, and upload a picture to instagram for free.

Start with Evitable!

I'll be grateful to anyone who tags me in an Instagram or X post with a copy of Evitable in their hand, hopefully with a "mind blown" expression.

Who will you impress? Whose life's work will you champion? What will you learn? That's the surplus mentality.

I love when my social posts of books get more reports than likes. The reason I duplicate my socials here is just because all social accounts will be banned eventually.

Did you hear the AI companies are buying books, feeding them to AI, then destroying them to try to create a monopoly on wisdom and rewrite history?

#113: Out Of Many, One : Portraits Of America's Immigrants by George W. Bush

Bush never had a chance. He was the Manchurian candidate. Groomed for presidency and advised from birth. 9-11 just let him go full cowboy. He was a useful idiot. The best American generation since WW2 was ground up in Iraq and Afghanistan while being replaced at home. Bush began the end of America.

Of the people he painted, only 4-5 were individuals I have any respect for. Sad, since Bush sees them as the example, not the men he sent to die for them

#112: Kill Bin Laden : A Delta Force Commander's Account Of The Hunt For The World's Most Wanted Man by Maj. Thomas Harter Greer (Dalton Fury)

#111: Messages To The World : The Statements Of Osama Bin Laden edited and introduced by Bruce Lawrence

I went into this expecting to burn it. After reading it I agree with OBL in much of his understanding of the world and problems afflicting the world. I disagree with almost every one of his solutions.

OBL is basically Muslim Donald Trump. Real Estate developer, pissed after bad deals. His words inspired the actions of 9-11, although he was not the mastermind. He was happy it happened, but not directly responsible.

To OBL,

I respect your resolve, but do not respect you as a pious man or a scholar.

You have wished for me nothing but death from my birth, and I never met you.

Reading your plan, your first action is always violence, not communication or compromise.

You called everyone to war. Each time you did so, you disrespected the American fighting men and women. The people who listened to you, learned that your words are false. I am glad The Honorable Joseph Robinette Biden ended GWoT. However, the US Service member earned its place in history alongside the Greeks of Thermopalype in geographic locations with the strategic value of Stalingrad.

There is no compromise for your translation of God’s word.

You blame the Jew for everything. Ironic as your solution treats anyone you deem to have an imperfect interpretation of Islam, to include dudes like me, to be worthy of the very treatment for which you denounce Jews.

Your plan is to drain the American coffers, but scream foul at your own Muslim leadership when they take American contracts.

You proclaim to be a hero, but you survived how many battles unharmed? What percentage of men who have met you, listened to you, and carried out your will, are still alive?

No one should follow that leader.

I agree with your politics. I agree with much of your interpretation of religion. I have hated Islam from adulthood, and now, I see your evil interpretation of Islam is what must be removed.

You are good at seeing the problem, but bad at solving it.

Your rhetoric of violence made you the pawn for the very evil you sought to destroy.

The real planners of 9-11, chose it because you had already attacked it. They chose you because you agree with the outcome.

Sit down, boomer.
