Book excerpt: This book contains no words: instead it tells its story in the universal language of photomontage, long the favoured medium of radical artists. The author is one such, whose work has consistently questioned power structures and injustice, from his anti-nuclear works of the 1980s to his powerful works in response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This photo-essay in seven chapters, combining new works, made together with Tarek Salhany, with iconic images from throughout the author's 40-year career. It makes a powerful statement about the impending eco-crisis, the arms race and the injustices of the power structures dominating today's world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society is broken. We can design our way to a better one. In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system. In this engaging, important work, Peter Joseph, founder of the world's largest grassroots social movement—The Zeitgeist Movement—draws from economics, history, philosophy, and modern public-health research to present a bold case for rethinking activism in the 21st century. Arguing against the long-standing narrative of universal scarcity and other pervasive myths that defend the current state of affairs, The New Human Rights Movement illuminates the structural causes of poverty, social oppression, and the ongoing degradation of public health, and ultimately presents the case for an updated economic approach. Joseph explores the potential of this grand shift and how we can design our way to a world where the human family has become truly sustainable. The New Human Rights Movement reveals the critical importance of a unified activism working to overcome the inherent injustice of our system. This book warns against what is in store if we continue to ignore the flaws of our socioeconomic approach, while also revealing the bright and expansive future possible if we succeed. Will you join the movement?

Book excerpt: Since the launch of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars—now the longest wars in American history—the US military has struggled to recruit troops. It has responded, as Matt Kennard’s explosive investigative report makes clear, by opening its doors to neo-Nazis, white supremacists, gang members, criminals of all stripes, the overweight, and the mentally ill. Based on several years of reporting, Irregular Army includes extensive interviews with extremist veterans and leaders of far-right hate groups—who spoke openly of their eagerness to have their followers acquire military training for a coming domestic race war. As a report commissioned by the Department of Defense itself put it, “Effectively, the military has a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy pertaining to extremism.” Irregular Army connects some of the War on Terror’s worst crimes to this opening-up of the US military. With millions of veterans now back in the US and domestic extremism on the rise, Kennard’s book is a stark warning about potential dangers facing Americans—from their own soldiers.

Download or read book How to Trick People Into Doing the Right Thing written by Byron Kennard and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byron Kennard is a retired community organizer who spent over half a century trying to get people to do the right thing. To his sorrow, Kennard learned that, by and large, most people are not inclined to do the right thing. They are too preoccupied with getting fed, getting laid, getting rich, and getting even with their enemies. So there's got to be another way to secure social progress and - hallelujah! - Kennard has found it. But it's a tricky business. The trick is not to bang on democracy's front door, demanding to be let in. At present, that entry is effectively barred. And so long as our democracy is severed by political polarization and crippled by corruption, that entry will remain barred.The trick is to sneak in through the back door.How to Trick People into Doing the Right Thing is a playful, entertaining book full of historical anecdotes about how astute political leaders in the past have employed deviousness to accomplish social progress.The premise of this book is not that people are no damn good. The premise is that enough people are no damn good enough of the time to screw everything up for us decent folk. Climate deniers, for example, constitute a distinct minority of the population, but they've fomented enough political polarization to make strong climate action by the government an impossibility. And we all suffer as a result. Similarly, Covid-19 deniers, also a minority of the population, are undermining efforts to control the virus, flying in the face of truth, science, and common sense. And here again we all suffer - mightily. What's to be done about these people? They can't be educated; they can't be persuaded to change their minds. Indeed, their minds are closed.They steadfastly refuse to hear what truth, science, and common sense has to say. So they are easy prey for demagogic politicians and faux populist zealots who will tell them whatever it is they want to hear.Meanwhile, the formal political system - established to protect and serve the common good - has been rendered largely inoperable by corruption, greed, and populist fury. Alas, when it comes to issues of overriding importance - most notably, climate and public health - the political system breaks down completely. Here a political consensus - necessary to support vigorous action - isn't even a dim possibility. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if there were some alternative universe where public-spirited political leaders sought genuine social progress and where upright, but savvy civic activists pursued ideals of social justice? Ah, just imagine it! Now - while we're fantasizing - let's assume that these noble souls are also wise in the wayward ways of the world, clear-eyed, tough-minded, and free of any illusions about the extent of humanity's wisdom and virtue. Moreover, let's assume they have experienced first-hand the anti-democratic machinations that make social progress well-nigh impossible.What if - despite all the monkey wrenches placed in the works - these noble souls were determined to get people to do the right thing, no matter what? Wouldn't that be something?! And what if - under the circumstances - they determined that the best way to do this was to trick people?Now for these tricks to succeed, much depends on the capacity of these leaders and activists to act deviously, to engage in prevarication, and to pretend that something is so when it is not. Of course, some nit-pickers might call this behavior dishonest, but I must stress here that the object is to get people to do the right thing, not the wrong. A benevolent outcome is the aim. That makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it? Finally, what if people, fell for these tricks - thereby unwittingly contributing to the cause of social progress? Wouldn't that be super-duper?! Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Well, rub your eyeballs and read on! Such a universe exists. This book proves it. - The Author
