Encyclopedias pre 1950 are ok.
Hard Times by Studs Terkel To get a feel for the Depression via novel, Steinbecks Grapes of Wrath might be a start.
Thanks
You bet. Try to find original stuff to read. First hand accounts can shed a lot of light on specific time frames. I read a huge amount of general history and for me, first hand accounts help connect the dots.
I have a lot of homework, thank you.
Corbett report, anything he does is gold. Have her watch the series on jp Morgan
Got it, thanks.
Whoops meant Rockefeller https://www.corbettreport.com/bigoil/
Excellent, thank you.
Memory , of what I lived , and the stories of my Grandparents. They were kids in the Depression , and poor grandpa was a machinist mate in the Navy , but was tasked with Marines clearing Japs from a bunch of little islands in the Pacific. He thought he'd be " safe " because machinists were the " essential workers " of the Navy
I was telling my daughter how soft people are these days. I want her to read up on stories like your Grandfather.
I have the same fear for my grandkids
They have no idea how bad things can get They are not prepared for physical exertion , not enough food , and deprivation in general
Exactly right. So many today couldn't survive a week without help. I can't imagine what they'll do if it gets as bad as I think it will. My daughter is a fighter, she's been storing food and prepping for a couple years, she went from gun scared to now owning 2. I slowly woke her up the last few years. Her kids are in good hands.
old books and old people. a lot of early films are interviews with old people who lived during the 1800's
Lead up to and part of the First World War: Hidden History and Prolonging the Agony - Docherty and McGregor
The books are about how a secret elite brought Britain to war with Germany.
Excellent, thank you.
Any time. They concluded by and large tht the elite were Englishmen and that Jews financed them. They were wrong in that regard.
Gulag archipelago is a good start for learning about communism and the violence jews inflict upon others. Even just the first chapter reveals a lot about the arrests and paranoia, or mass formation psychosis. Protocols of the learned elders of Zion is a must, for that one you can just read the table of contents to get a good understanding of the last century. It's eerily prescient, it's claimed to be a forgery but the contents absolve it. If you can find videos of David Irving he's a historian that covers world war 2 history and is infamous for making a bet that nobody could provide evidence that the Holocaust happened. He was taken to court and ordered to pay a jewess, the judge ruled that he had to pay because 'of course it happened it doesn't need proof'. How old is your daughter? Some of this stuff might be sensible for a teen but I wouldn't read gulag archipelago to my 5year old before bed...
She's 29 with two young kids. Thanks for your suggestions
