In the greater New York City area? Please come out on Tuesday, April 24 to hear and meet our founder and editor, Russ Baker.
He’ll be speaking at 6:30pm, Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue at 40th St, 6th floor. Copies of his book Family of Secrets will be available, and he’ll be glad to sign them.
Russ will talk about
*Family of Secrets and WhoWhatWhy
*How and why the “mainstream” media (and even the “alternative” media) hide discomfiting revelations
*How the hidden truth about the forces and values behind the Bush presidency reflect fundamental problems with American democracy that continue in the Obama era.
Russ Baker delivers a lively, informal talk about Family of Secrets. He will explore the ongoing significance of the book’s revelations about the nature of power and “deep politics,” and address the past, present and future of the larger Bush-centered enterprise. There will be a lengthy Q&A session, and Russ will sign copies.
If you are in the greater Miami area, we hope you’ll join us. If you have friends who may be interested, please alert them.
Family of Secrets has been out for a while, but, due in good part to the corporate-owned media’s reluctance to air deep investigative journalism that takes on the powerful, it’s still one of America’s best kept secrets. That’s starting to change, and Russ is in demand now more than ever.
This week, Russ is providing intriguing context on a confluence of anniversaries and events currently taking place: the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s inauguration, the 50th anniversary of Eisenhower’s famed speech warning about the military industrial complex, the 10th anniversary of George W. Bush’s inauguration, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day observation, the Arizona shootings, and more. Russ talks about Family of Secrets, and about our new nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative reporting news site, www.whowhatwhy.com
