Book Review

On War by Carl von Clausewitz. Now that the World is on the verge of WWIII (be ready for a false flag attack in the Olympic Games and Iran to be blamed on it) it’s a good time to read a classic on the matter. On War by Carl von Clausewitz is the best philosophical and technical essay you can find about the subject. ‘War is a continuation of politics by other means’ is the concept the author states from page one and on which develops all his theory. This book is fascinating in two ways: First, you get into the mind of the statesman, the military chief of staff, the dictator, the ruler, etc. The fate of nations, the lives of thousands of soldiers and millions of people and military hardware assets become nothing but disposable chips to be used and wasted in the supreme effort of gaining a political objective: To force your opponent to your political will, nothing else but nothing less. Second, if you want to understand about military strategy and why an army plays an offensive or defensive role; or why and how to conduct from a single battle to a major war, General Clausewitz explains the immutable principles of modern warfare. Rules that were introduced by Napoleon and haven’t changed since then. This book is a must for every man. Cautionary note: Be sure to buy the Princeton Univeristy Press edition of this book which is the unabridged and best translated version from the original German book. Don’t you buy the abridged Penguin edition which sucks. Once you have read this book you should then read ‘The Campaign of 1812 in Russia’ by the same author. A book I would like to talk about in the coming days.

The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler. Have you read the heated arguments (in Internet forums) about whether or not Ashkenazi Jews are white. Have you listened to those people who argue that since Jews are not white, they are not committed to preserve white Christian civilization countries but to destroy it leading poisonous and corrupting political movements such as feminism, civil rights movement, welfarism, mass immigration of Third Worlders into Europe and the USA? Do you know that Jews are racially divided into Sephardic, Falasha and Ashkenazi? Well, this book is about the fascinating story of the Khazar Empire which, in the eighteenth century, extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian and from the Caucasus to the Volga; yeap, you got it, on the land that today comprises Ukraine. It was then that the Khazars found in a very precarious position. South of them the Caliphate was expanding ready to take the fertile lands of Easter Europe and the Rus Empire (Russia). Up North , Eastern Roman Empire was getting ready to face the Muslims. A gigantic pincer clash of two civilizations was about to close and the Khazars were in the middle. Would they side with the Christians to slaughter the Muslims? Would they side with the Muslims to slaughter the Christians? Taking the wrong decision would be catastrophic, so the invented a third way –To reject both and to convert to Judaism. They decided to play the little guy, the nerd, the leper and in such a way resist both the West and Islam. The move worked and they not only kept themselves away from the clash but flourished being a buffer state. Things were well and nice for the Khazars until the most politically incorrect bastard of all times –Mr. Genghis Khan himself- wiped out all Central Asia. The Khazars dispersed, moving to Central Europe (Poland, Germany, Switzerland, etc) and founding what it is today modern Jewry. Fascinating reading.

By Way of Deception by Victor Ostrovsky. This is a fascinating book about the operation methods of Israel’s top intelligence agency –The Mossad (‘The Office’). The author is a supposed Mossad defector who got disappointed from the methods and objectives of the Mossad. The book opens with the fascinating recount of ‘Operation Sphinx’, a huge two years span operation carried out in several countries at the same time to cripple Irak’s Nuclear Project, and which ended with the bombing of Irak’s nuclear reactor in Osirak in the outskirts of Baghdad. Then the author introduces himself, his background, the way he was recruited by the Mossad and the operations he was involved in. Along the book he describes the demanding and often brutal ways the Mossad train its agents and the unlimited financial, technical and human resources Mossad agents used all around the World when conducting the operations they are given. Finally, the author explains why and how he left the Mossad disappointed by what he calls an out of control Israeli policy that endangers the very existence of the Jewish State. This is an out of print book, but there still many used copies available.

L. A. Confidential, The Shooting Script by Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson. Have you seen the movie ‘L. A. Confidential’? No? Well, you’re missing one of the best and finest film noir movies ever made, pretty much in the fashion of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown. I am not going to tell you what the movie is about, I am just going to tell you that the dialogues between characters Bud White (Russell Crowe) and Lynn Bracken (Kim Basinger) are a prime example of subtle game between a brutal thug and a gorgeous hot blonde (sounds familiar?). Now, the movie is not original, but an adaptation from the very complicated and laberynthic novel by James Ellroy. So, both Director Curtis Hnason and scriptwriter Brian Helgeland made a supreme job, adapting the novel to the screen. Well, this book is the shooting script of the movie. 120+ pages of clean, lean and thigh writing that is going to be read like a thunder. In about two hours, without putting a pause on the reading and turning page after page you would recreate in your mind the movie you already have seen and you’d even discover some details that at first you could’ve lost the first time you watched the movie. There’s too much wisdom in this forum that I bet a courageous producer is already taking some notes and soon we would see a sitcom called ‘Game’, pretty much in the fashion of ‘Seinfield’ or ‘Dr. House’. Well, I bet that more that one of you, guys, will feel attracted and interested in script writing after reading this book. Once, a friend of mine found the Seinfield scripts posted in the Internet, he downloaded one, printed it and read it. He was trying to catch the ‘Seinfield’ mood of joking, the aura, but he couldn’t because he found the reading of such scripts dull. That’s because they were not edited in the proper way, so he couldn’t figure out scenes and situations in his mind This is not going to happen with this book because it’s written in the proper way as you woud find out. This is an out of print book, but there are lot new copies being sold as low as $1. Anyway, I have the PDF version of the script, so, just drop me a mail at [email protected] with the subject ‘LAC.pdf’ and I'll send you back the file.

-Rollo Tomassi.
-Who is he?
-You are. You’re the guy who gets away with it. Jack knew it and so do I.

Superb!

With God's help, I'll conquer this terrible affliction.

By way of deception, thou shalt game women.

Diaboli virtus in lumbar est -The Devil's virtue is in his loins.
