When I was 16, back in the 1980's, my friend and I bought copies of this book to try and see what kind of explosives we could make. These recipes are dangerous, ineffective, and could potentially burn your house down. Smoking banana peels is not a good idea. Gunpowder is dangerous to home manufacture in any quantity. The recipes only partly work, the booby traps are a farce, and the whole book only makes sense to an immature mind that can picture fighting a guerilla insurgency against invading Soviet scum (moi, circa 1984). Fact of the matter is, children have access to far more dangerous ideas and images on the web than they do out of this book which if serialized and published as a blog, would have gotten the author some mild notoriety but nothing more so than young people airing ridiculous ideas and their body parts on line. As an adult with a child of my own, I can understand the why behind the book, the historical context around it, and the desire by many reviewers, including myself and the author, to just bury the book, but I don't think it needs any more attention than pictures of Barbara Streisand's house, Obama-girl, Britney-Lindsey-Paris, and leaked financial documents from a Swiss bank. Stop looking! Don't stop thinking.

Hitmen, cleaners, murderer’s, assassins, professional killers. Very few people ever consider killing as a profession; but for more people than the world’s governments care to admit, killing other people is indeed their profession. Does our government train killers? Of course it does. Every government does. To believe otherwise is stupid. Today, the C.I.A., the D.I.A., the N.S.A., and each special operations branch of our armed forces all maintain elite “termination squads.” Then there is the Mafia, every person on this planet knows about a Mafia of some sort. Mafia hitmen are the most dangerous killers. Patriotism or nationalism doesn’t motivate them. They do it all for money. Fortunately, they are used exclusively in the organized crime communities to kill informants, thieves, traitors, and the like.
Regardless of who their employers be, all pro killers use similar techniques. It is these methods that assassins universally employ that we will learn about in the following chapters.

As a medicinal chemist, I discovered startling evidence surrounding cholesterollowering drugs. Chemically, these drugs are known as “statins.” Commercially, they are known as atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), simvastatin (Zocor), and
rosuvastatin (Crestor). The belief that these drugs prevent heart disease is undeniably false – but more importantly, dangerous. The cholesterol-lowering myth being spread by pharmaceutical companies worldwide could rightfully be considered the deadliest health myth in the history of mankind. Numerous studies consistently show that the higher our cholesterol the longer we live and vice-versa.1 This reality has been hidden and pushed under the already-stuffed pharmaceutical drug.
