“Guys like Lindorff can cloak their madness in political rhetoric, but that doesn’t change what it is—madness.” —James Taranto, Wall Street Journal

“A full-bore attack on Bush-as-warmonger.”—Alexander Cockburn

How many of us look at the paper in the morning and say, “This can’t be happening”? An iconic edifice is destroyed, swarthy aliens are blamed and a nation’s leader puts a frightened public on a war footing. Bush—or Hitler? In this scathing collection of articles, Dave Lindorff suggests some of the uncomfortable parallels between the ’30s and today.

Award-winning investigative journalist Dave Lindorff is a columnist for Counterpunch, and author of Killing Time: An Investigation into the Death Penalty Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Alexander Cockburn (Introduction) is a columnist for The Nation.

    3.0 out of 5 stars WHY is WSJournal quote first in product description?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2010
    What on earth is the trash quote from the Wall Street Journal doing at the beginning of the product description? Whoever did that has an agenda other than selling books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Truth in a world of spin and fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2004
    With even papers like the New York Times admitting they didn't do their jobs in the runup to the Iraq war, independent investigative journalists such as Lindorff are vital.

    Lindorff uncovered the fact that the government was setting up the mechanism for renewing the draft. He broke the story that the government was routing calls about domestic terror threats to `America's Most Wanted.' He told us that the secret `no-fly' list that includes Cat Stevens has snagged all sorts of people who just happen to be anti-war activists and subjected them to harassment at airports across the country.

    `This Can't Be Happening' is essentially a compiliation of his columns on those and other issues the mainstream press hasn't touched. But the columns are bound together in a coherent whole that gives us a picture of the true state of politics and government in America today. It's a scary picture, to be sure.

    For Lindorff's current writings on the world, which will give you a taste of what's in the book, check out [...]

    5.0 out of 5 stars I.F. Stone Would be Intimidated
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2004
    This collection of essays is a fantastic supplement to the diet the mainstream media forces down our throats on a daily basis. Lindorff attacks the power-elite with a venom unmatched by the corporate press. I.F. Stone would be proud, if not intimidated.

    This book is a must read for those that want to understand how it is a man called Dubya can run our country into the ground at a rate that out paces the Internet crash. This is a great book to brighten the winter blues, as well.

    Buy it for your relative who voted Bush. Buy it for your friend that voted Kerry. It's a must read for both sides of the aisle.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Independent journalists fight to keep democracy alive
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2005
    This book is different from many other column collections because it is organized around a common ongoing event---and does not make nice with the critique during any point of the book either.

    Lindorff argues that the Bush regime is plowing America into the ground. The now-infamous WMD claim is only the tail end of their deception. Thus by default, investigative journalists such as himself become the all-critical truth seekers.

    Such a placement undoubtedly echoes Watergate, but unlike then the newspapers of record have been silent as the Bush administration more or less does whatever it wanted. According to Lindorff, the 'snafus' which make the mainstream media really were not accident at all. They are part of the Bush administration's concerted targeting of political dissenters.

    Being an investigative journalist is not at all glamorous, but Lindorff helps the American people find out what their government is up to. Such tenacity comes in especially handy when the government does not want to voluntarily divulge theie information.
