The Bibliography for an Alternative Historical Narrative — Ron Unz

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Over the last dozen years I’ve published more than two hundred major articles totaling well over a million words, with the bulk of these having been produced during the last six years and roughly two-thirds of them included in my American Pravda series.

Most of these individual pieces have developed or promoted analyses of events that are radically divergent from what is presented by our mainstream media and standard history books. Taken a whole, this body of work constitutes a sweeping historical counter-narrative, possibly larger and more extensive that what could be found elsewhere on the Internet, or at least I’m not aware of anything comparable.

This enormous creation has relied very heavily upon the previous work of numerous researchers and writers. These have ranged from the most highly-credentialed and respectable figures to individuals of the conspiratorial fringe, and those two categories have sometimes changed places over the decades.

Although the sources I used were always cited, quoted, and linked in the individual articles, over the years many readers have requested that I provide a complete bibliography. Given that my own work has depended so heavily on this underlying material, I have now done that, spending several days gathering together all of these references into a single comprehensive bibliography, while also adding bibliographic links nears the bottom of each individual article.

Listed below are well over 600 books plus a couple of dozen films, documentaries, and major videos, all grouped by article in chronological order. Given this display format, probably about one-third of these items are duplicates.

Nearly all my articles are available in a couple of dozen freely downloadable ebooks, about half of them representing collections, and these are also listed below. About a dozen of these collections are available in hard-copy format from Amazon.

You definitely want to bookmark this one. It’s a large compendium of Unz’s work, almost all of which is well-worth reading. I do not always agree with Ron (he took the covid vax and dissed those who didn’t), but he is always worth reading and usually provides a unique perspective on whatever the issue is. I also like that he gives his work away and does not overly hype it. ABN

Quebec man has two healthy fingers amputated to relieve ‘body integrity dysphoria’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Ever since he was a child he’d had “incessant,” intrusive thoughts about his left hand’s fourth and fifth fingers, the sensation that they weren’t his, that they didn’t belong to his body. At night, he’d wake from nightmares that his fingers were burning or rotting.

The young Quebec man was so desperate to get rid of his fingers he contemplated building a small, makeshift guillotine. “He couldn’t imagine himself living for the years to come with those fingers,” according to a recently published case report.

Instead, a surgeon at his local hospital agreed to an elective amputation in what is being called the first described case of “digits amputation” for body integrity dysphoria, or BID, a rare and complex condition characterized by an intense desire to amputate a perfectly healthy body part, such as an arm or a leg.

The Quebec case involved an ambidextrous 20-year-old whose attempts at “non-invasive” relief, including cognitive behavioural therapy, Prozac-like antidepressants and exposure therapy, only increased his distress.

Autism and ADHD are linked to disturbed gut flora very early in life

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…The study is part of the ABIS (All Babies in Southeast Sweden) study led by Johnny Ludvigsson at Linköping University. More than 16,000 children born in 1997–1999, representing the general population, have been followed from birth into their twenties. Of these, 1,197 children, corresponding to 7.3 percent, have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, communication disorder or intellectual disability. A large number of lifestyle and environmental factors have been identified through surveys conducted on several occasions during the children’s upbringing. For some of the children, the researchers have analysed substances in umbilical cord blood and bacteria in their stool at the age of one.

“We can see in the study that there are clear differences in the intestinal flora already during the first year of life between those who develop autism or ADHD and those who don’t. We’ve found associations with some factors that affect gut bacteria, such as antibiotic treatment during the child’s first year, which is linked to an increased risk of these diseases,” says Johnny Ludvigsson, senior professor at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences at Linköping University, who led the study together with Eric W. Triplett.

Children who had repeated ear infections during their first year of life had an increased risk of being diagnosed with a developmental neurological disorder later in life. It is probably not the infection itself that is the culprit, but the researchers suspect a link to antibiotic treatment. They found that the presence of Citrobacter bacteria or the absence of Coprococcus bacteria increased the risk of future diagnosis. One possible explanation may be that antibiotic treatment has disturbed the composition of the gut flora in a way that contributes to neurodevelopmental disorders. The risk of antibiotic treatment damaging the gut flora and increasing the risk of diseases linked to the immune system, such as type 1 diabetes and childhood rheumatism, has been shown in previous studies.

Japan to Embark on an Era of ‘Mass Foreign Migration’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

It’s set to be a massive change for a country that was still up until recently 97.5% ethnic Japanese, according to the CIA World Factbook.

A Bloomberg report details how rapidly declining native birth rates, an aging society and a chronic labor shortage is fueling the importation of millions of foreigners who “are changing the face of Japan.”

The number of foreign workers in Japan has now exceeded 2 million, a 12.4% increase on 2022. The East Asian country needs at least 647,000 working-age immigrants per year to meet its 11 million worker shortage by 2040.

A BBC News report about Japan’s previous refusal to adopt mass migration highlighted how the country was “stuck in the past,” with that past being characterized as “a peaceful, prosperous country with the longest life expectancy in the world, the lowest murder rate, little political conflict.”

Week 12, 2024: The State of Things Pandemic – The Ethical Skeptic

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A summary of excess mortality in the United States: A comprehensive analysis for Week 12 of 2024 – marking the 212th week of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic. This article provides an in-depth examination of various factors contributing to increased mortality rates, including an assessment of the primary causes. Despite facing challenges in visibility due to varying degrees of allowance and dissemination across platforms like Apple, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook, this analysis strives to present an unbiased, evidence-based perspective on this excess mortality.

Week 12 2024 Highlights:

  • Cancer is now the third largest excess death category, behind ‘unknown’ and ‘uncommon’ death causes
  • Covid is down to 576 deaths per week, even with over-attribution
  • We are in what I call the ‘Spring Lull’ where pull forward effect does a little whipsaw each year and makes everything look peachy, when it is not.
  • True US Excess Mortality = 5.6% for Week 12 2024
  • Chart of the Week: Sudden Cardiac Death Ages 0-54 = 66.3% or 21-sigma excess, which began 12 days after the rollout of the shots 14 Dec 2020 and has not abated in the least. 125,000 dead younger persons – and the government/media are silent.

What Makes All Vaccines So Dangerous?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Story at a Glance:
•Since vaccines frequently cause a wide range of side effects this makes it challenging to identify what the common thread between those injuries. One of the best candidates that has been put forward is vaccination triggering microstrokes throughout the body—a process which I believe also underlies many other chronic diseases.

•In the in 1960s (and earlier) a large volume of forgotten research was produced showing that blood cells clumping together was the root cause of a variety of diseases. In parallel, Chinese medicine came to an identical conclusion which has recently been validated by modern scientific instrumentation.

•The science of colloidal chemistry and zeta potential has shown that the primary factor which causes blood cells to clump together are the electrical charges present around them. Many of the most harmful agents in existence (e.g., aluminum or the COVID spike protein) coincidentally also happen to contain a positive charge which is remarkably effective at clumping fluids together.

•I believe impaired zeta potential (especially in the modern era) is the root cause of a wide range of diseases and that treating zeta potential is one of the most effective means to address both acute and chronic illness. Likewise, a strong case can be made that many effective conventional and holistic therapies ultimately work by improving the physiologic zeta potential.
