Earth Rising: The Revolution: Toward a Thousand Years of Peace

As for the book, I found it fascinating and informative. On a different note, I would like to comment on the "review of reviewers" a certain Wendell J. McGinness Jr. posted elsewhere in this book review column. Please note, if you will, that Mr. McGinness scathingly derides other reviewers for their grammatical and spelling errors. Ironically enough, his second sentence reads, "It strains the intelligence of some of us to understand how a company trying to sell books (among many other products) and survive as a net business pioneer, could allow so many uneducated, ignorant, pseudo reviews as I have read." The comma after the word "pioneer" is completely unnecessary, as any good English professor would confirm. Mr. McGinness should practice some of what he preaches. As for everyone else, please do not allow sophomoric and pretentious people to taint your enjoyment of life.

As a great admirer of Dr.Begich, I found the book enlightening, intelligent and not a difficult read at all. I'm certainly no scientist, but found it to be most comprehensible. Earth Rising, opens the eyes as well as the mind to how crucial it is to take care of our planet, home and Mother. It is a book everyone should read so the blinders can be removed as to what is going on in this world that so desperately needs protecting. Thank you Dr. Nick!

Earth Rising: The Revolution - Toward A Thousand Years Of Peace examines the issue of technology in terms of its impact on human culture and behavior, including such basic concepts as freedom human dignity, sovereign individuality, and sel-determination. Nick Begich and James Roderick collaborate to survey the revolution in military affairs and its impact on personal freedom; mind control and the manipulation of human health through the use of drugs, electromagnetic weapons and other means; non-lethal weapons and their use and impact on people; environmental and weather control; new technologies which will virtually eliminate privacy from the world science; militarization of law enforcement around the country; and updates the HAARP story with additional evidence of the military's plans to manipulate the environment. Highly recommended reading for students of human affairs and the influence of technology on modern life, Earth Rising: The Revolution concludes with solutions that could be initiated and change the implications of these technologies from a negative to a positive impact upon human society.

Begich's introductory "HAARP update" is only the preamble to a long needed assessment of our modern technological development.Earth Rising ist the up to date comprehensive collection of documented information on the "futuristic" devices that already surpassed SciFi, Fantasy and Hollywood. Begich and Roderick have collected thousands of documents and reference about 600 directly in footnotes.The threat to civil liberty, human rights, health and sanity are real and frightening. Begich's plea for new informed and empowered citizenship redefining our democratic values and taking back control of our future deserves the widest attention. The political implications are far reaching and disturbing but also opening the door to a renewed human society. Not only a must read - but a must have especially for politicians.
