Spirit of Resistance Still Alive!, December 9, 2001
By A Customer
Today's Americans are as dumb as never before. They don't care for their liberties anymore. There are no more public demonstrations, no more organized resistanse to massive abuse of power going on everyday in America. Compulsory public education has produced its intended results, which are: dumb mass of population, possessing some basic business and industrial skills, but no critical, analytical thinking whatsoever. Work, booze, TV, game, maybe sex, then work, booze, TV...that's all there is to our Freedom, which we want so passionately our government to defend for us! Yes, Claire Wolfe is not always fully logical and consistent. Say, she urges everyone to learn to live in poverty, despise wealth, work as little as possible just to be able to satisfy basic needs. And also she suggests to stack up on non-perishable, even military food supplies, refresh those supplies as needed, gather and hide in different places various high quality weapons, support generously some human rights organizations, - all of which require signifficant cash resources. But the reading nevertheless is important, fascinating and a great refreshment for our media-hypnotized, crazed and dumbed minds. Buy it! Read it! Share it! Also get the "Don't Shoot The Bastards (yet)" by the same author. Find and read Dumbing of America; Justice for None; Race to Incarcerate; Lost Rights: The Destruction of The American Liberty;... Don't let your soul die before you body does!

A rare and practical commodity, November 18, 1999
By A Customer
A word of caution to readers of "Customer Comments" -- be very wary of reviewers who label Claire and her work as "right-wing". Claire is about as right-wing as she is left-wing as she is chicken-wing. Note that her labelers, as a class, are schizophrenic in their 'philosophy', favoring collectivist solutions as a means of dealing with the problem of the loss of individual liberty. Whether one agrees with Claire on methods or not, recognize that this little primer is a useful tool for anyone who is just (re)discovering the concept of individual liberty. (One can only hope that someday her detractors here will be able to do so.) The book creates a whole set of useful ideas that can either be acted on, or merely used to expand one's thinking about freedom. Claire has historically preferred to disassociate herself from -- rather than engage -- the forces of evil. We miss her already "in the field" (she has recently chosen to pursue her own way without sharing further with us her thoughts on 'getting there'). So read her three books, and cherish the ideas contained therein. Who knows when we'll hear from Claire again?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely outstanding--A MUST READ!, July 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution: Ideas and Resources for Self-Liberation, Monkey Wrenching and Preparedness (Paperback)
You cannot judge this book by its cover. The title may seem 'fringy', but the content is more mainstream (or should be) than you might imagine. When I first saw the book in the catalog, it was the cover that piqued my interest. If I'd known what was between the covers, I would have ordered more copies. Each of the 101 ideas listed stands on its own merits. It is not a book that would appeal to the paranoid fringe, or mad-bombers. The ideas are well thought out, and persuasive. Once you pick it up, you will not put it down until you've finished it. The reading is quick and thoroughly entertaining. The content is informative, but more importantly, it will make you think. We all owe it to ourselves to read a copy of this book at least once. My only complaint about the book is that it isn't "1001 Things to do 'Til the Revolution" The price you pay for this book will be money well spent!
