In gratitude, I’m giving away copies of Red White & Blind as the anniversary arrives of a pivotal event in my journey towards media consciousness.
E-book
Starting Wednesday and ending on Friday, you will be able to visit this blog or www.RedWhiteAndBlind.com and obtain for yourself—or for a friend—a free copy of the kindle version of the book.
Paperback
In addition, I’m giving away 9 paperback copies of the book this week on Goodreads. You can visit the giveaway page any time this week to add your name and enter the drawing.
Feel free to do both.
One of my very first political publications seeking the truth behind contrived media narratives was an early issue of my defunct newsletter Garlic & Grass in which I pulled together several journalist’s writings seeking to understand what had actually happened on September 11, 2001. That issue led to many more investigations, and, eventually, to the journalism work I did for Huffington Post and to RW&B itself. Through that work I learned that both parties are adept at controlling and manipulating the media—and that the media is adept at controlling and manipulating us. Therefore, serious investigations into topics such as Jeffrey Epstein, the origins of Covid, and social media censorship must be nonpartisan.
If you’ve been meaning to read the book, or if you’ve been hoping to share it with a friend or family member, this week you can do it without money as an obstacle.
Enjoy, and my sincere thanks for joining me on this quest for the truth behind the endless disinformation. I believe that it is only by uncovering the truth that we can properly diagnose and cure the ills in modern American society.
The audiobook was released three days ago, but when I sent out the message announcing it, I said the book was “available everywhere great audiobooks are sold.” As it turns out, this last bit wasn’t true. It went up immediately on Audible and Amazon, but to my surprise, many other platforms didn’t immediately make it available.
To rectify the situation, if you’re waiting to listen to RW&B on your phone or other app, I’ve uploaded the book for now to the completely independent site Awesound, which enables you to listen to the audiobook on any platform you choose.
Much like the brave and brilliant independent media news sources I highlight in the Red White & Blind, Awesound cuts out the middlemen and the hidden algorithms. The site enables authors to simply sell audiobooks to interested readers, and it’s a great way to enjoy audiobooks on your phone, laptop, or car receiver.
As a token of my appreciation to my substack readers, and to encourage use of this independent channel, I’ve marked the audiobook on Awesound down from $23.95 to $15. Nice!
Get it here, on or before September 30:
Get the audiobook now at the awesome Awesound.com
One other nice thing about Awesound, is that can display notes from the author on every chapter. So instead of just seeing the chapter title, you see a little “what’s inside” of each chapter to better jump around to find segments of the book.
Just after the Trump-Kamala debate, just in time to help you decipher the endless streams of disinformation coming from the candidates, just as the parties’ surrogates and the Red News and Blue News analysts tell you what to think, I am proud to present the completion of this labor of love.
Written and read by yours truly, in the hopes of spreading truth, clarity, compassion, and knowledge, this is an audiobook that unpacks corporate media lies and points out a path to a deeper understanding of our world.
Let me read to you, at your own preferred pace and time:
Awesound.com is an alternative audiobook distributor that enables you to purchase the book outright and listen to it on any platform you like. I’m running a promo there currently.
From Bernie to Biden, from Covid to Epstein, from wars to elections, I’ve investigated dozens of recent and historical events in order to illustrate the ways we are deceived. It’s an insidious minefield out there, but I never leave you wallowing in despair over the mountains of disinformation that confront us. The book offers insights and tips from myself and others on how to develop the savvy to discern the truth behind each story—what I call media consciousness. We are in the early phases of a great unveiling, an internet-birthed era that I believe is a New Enlightenment in which we are all gradually awakening to the actual truth about many, many things.
I’m delighted to announce that the audiobook of Red White & Blind is complete. Putting it together has been a long labor of love, and now it will launch in a matter of weeks—no later than the first week of September. If you prefer listening to books with your ears over reading them with your eyes, you will now get to enjoy this book in your desired format.
When I first considered how to create the audiobook, I reviewed the manuscript and realized that many segments would be best delivered in my own voice. So I set out to read the entire thing, from start to finish, forgetting for a moment how huge an effort it is to record an audiobook. And this book is longer and more complex than the narrative nonfiction of my first book, Double Happiness, so it took a bit more to get it over the finish line. The project even grew a bit as I went. I realized it needed audio breaks to indicate section breaks and new chapters, so I sat down and recorded some guitar riffs and interspersed them into the audio flow. I also employed a female voice to read the primary sources authored by women, and that female voice belongs to a human very important to me: my amazing wife Pamela.
So this audiobook turned into something approaching a radio play.
And now it’s done. I think you’ll enjoy the final product quite a bit if I do say so myself. It will be released and ready for your enjoyment in just a few weeks.
More From This Newsletter
In other news—and there’s a lot of it these days with all that’s going on in the world—I believe I can help people see the world more clearly if I engage more fully with this newsletter. I will be adding more features here and on the video channel, and I hope you’ll let me know what you find valuable and useful.
Will Assange know justice? Will Super Tuesday end the primary season?
A full, new episode of the Red White & Blind show is out. Sit back and enjoy the full episode, or choose the individual segment that interests you most.
To me, they’re all important, but the most pressing is the case of Julian Assange. A verdict in England will be handed down any day now on his extradition. For the sake of international law and press freedom, he must be set free today or he will languish and die very soon in an American prison—and this thing we call investigative journalism will become all but illegal.
