THE WAR AGAINST PUTIN, WHAT THE GOVERNMENT-MEDIA COMPLEX ISN’T TELLING YOU.

A book by Mike King

A review by Jim “Gymbeaux” Brown, August, 15 2024

DISCLAIMER:  It’s been YEARS since I have trusted the main stream news media. Not sure I have ever trusted the U. S. Government.  As I read King’s book about Russia/Putin, he confirmed what I had always been taught to believe – they are both very untrustworthy!!!!  My disbelief in all things government and media obviously will have tainted my critique of this book.  Suffice it to say that if just 10% of the book is true, that alone should be enough for you to thoroughly mistrust both the government and the media.  With that said, I personally know that at least 60% of the book contains facts that I know to be true.  My advice, read the book and then decide for yourself who is to be trusted and who is not to be trusted.  Your “trusted list” will be extremely short as compared to your “mistrust list!”

In some of King’s other books, he sticks strictly to the facts and they are usually much shorter in length than this book.  In this writing, King ads some of his own opinions relating to the facts he puts forth and uses some very colorful language in describing some of the nefarious players that reside on BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE!   (Read that again, on BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE!)

I am very confident that anyone reading this book will come away with the understanding that America is NOT the moral country we have all been taught to believe that it is.  We have been either the instigators or the supporters of almost every major world-wide conflict going back to our founding in 1776.  Not so much in the beginning but as time passed, we became more and more involved in what resulted in the killings of millions of people world-wide through wars and clandestine activities.  As I read the book, I remember many of the events discussed and at the time had a completely different understanding of what had happened and who was responsible.  The history I learned had ZERO resemblance to the explanations described in this book!  My advice, read the book and then decide for yourself!

Most of the first half or more of the book delves deep into U. S. and World History and what you will read is NOT what we were all taught in history classes.  On the contrary!  It is almost a complete opposite.  Until social media, we had only the main stream media to rely upon for our news sources; few people ever questioned their reporting.  But with the advent of Social Media, more and more independent journalists have been disclosing the truth about past and present events that have taken place or are taking place on the world stage.  A great many still trust the media what failed to show just how much America had been involved ON THE WRONG SIDE OF DOING THE RIGHT THINGS!

It would be impossible for me to critique the book in detail because it contains so much information.  My advice would be to read it, then do your own research to verify if what was written is true or not.  For most topics, there is ample information available to you if you just take the time to look it up YOURSELF!

As for Vladimir Putin, I think it is safe to say that IF you read the book, you will develop a very different opinion of Putin and Russia in general.  I first became more interested in Putin AFTER the Tucker Carlson/Vladimir Putin interview, when Putin said the “west” has been trained to mistrust everything Russian.  He went to say that most people in the “west” believe what they have been taught without even knowing much of anything about the Soviet Union which is now Russia in 2024.  This book verifies what Putin has said if you choose to believe what is written in the book.  Again, doing your own research will prove the book either right or wrong.  You decided which it is!

Who should read this book?  Given the number of Americans who believe everything the main stream media promotes about Russia and Putin (print, TV, radio and books), I would suggest that EVERYONE could learn more about Russia which we have all been trained to believe is our number one enemy, in spite of it being our ally during WWII.

Would I read it again?  Reading it again would serve little purpose but keeping it as a reference source would be priceless!

Would I give it as a gift?  I would, but would the recipient ever take the time to read it?  I seriously doubt it because for most people, their minds have already been made up and nothing that contradicts what they already believe to be true will make much of an difference or impact on their already distorted beliefs.
