Eventually, they will need to muster all their courage to venture into the depths of the city and face the Lich Lord himself.

V tomto výbušném výčtu zločinů a následných maskovacích operací, nabízí Jesse Ventura svým čtenářům odlišný pohled na příběhy, které většina z nás buď slyšela nebo o nich četla v učebnicích historie. Obzvláště ho zajímá ten propastný rozdíl mezi tím, co všechno Americký státní sektor má za informace, a tím co je prezentováno běžným lidem. Ale i média jsou v zatajování reálné historie nápomocna, neboť často odmítají pohlížet na věci z odlišných úhlů pohledu, nebo dokonce aktivně umlčují hlasy lidí, kteří nesouhlasí s názorem širší veřejnosti. Jesse se tedy blíže podívá na všechny ty teorie, které byly během uplynulých let prezentovány, pohlédne jak na pravdu tak i na lži. Bývalý guvernér Ventura se pravdy nebojí. Jak sám říká: "Když je mi k něčemu odepřen přístup, nenechám se zastrašit, právě naopak - Naštve mne to." Ve své knize Americká spiknutí, se pouští do hledání odpovědí na otázky: - Proč se tvrdí, že J. F. Kennedy byl zastřelen zezadu, když je na první pohled vidět, že mu kulka trhla hlavou prudce dozadu? - Je pravdou, že banda zlodějů v aféře Watergate úmyslně zpackala své vloupání, a to na základě pokynů CIA? - Jakým způsobem pomohlo použití elektronických hlasovacích přístrojů, Republikánské straně zvítězit ve dvou - a dokonce skoro ve třech - volbách? - Zda mohly pouhé dva Boeingy 757, strhnout toho osudného jedenáctého září onu dvojici mrakodrapů WTC, a to takovým způsobem, že se roztavila jejich nosná ocelová konstrukce, a že byly v sutinách podzemní požáry ještě více jak tři měsíce po celé katastrofě? - Co je pravdy na prohlášení Americké vlády z roku 2008, že některé korporace jsou "Too big to fail" (Příliš velké, než aby jim mohlo být dovoleno zbankrotovat), a že tedy musejí býti zachráněny, aby nedošlo k ekonomickému kolapsu? - A také se podívá na postupné rozbourávání konceptu občanských svobod, a ukáže vám, jak je toto možné použít pro zavedení stanného práva. Možná, že nebudete věřit všemu, co se v knize Americká spiknutí dočtete, ale alespoň vás tato knížka donutí se hlouběji zamyslet nad všemi těmi věcmi, kterým momentálně věříte. JESSE VENTURA je bývalý guvernér státu Minnesota a autor několika bestsellerů a také má vlastní televizní show Konspirační Teorie (na kanálu TruTV). Žije ve státě Minnesota ale také v Mexiku. DICK RUSSELL je držitel ocenění od společnosti Chevron, ale také autor již deseti knižních titulů, mezi kterými je i jeho předchozí spolupráce s Jesse Venturou, pod názvem Don't start the revolution without me!

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS‘Jess Phillips writes like she talks: brilliantly. Her humour and passion shine through every page. Loved it.’ ROBERT WEBB_____________________If you’re thinking, ‘Jess who?’ then I’m glad that there was something about ‘Everywoman’ and ‘truth’ that caught your eye.Or you might already know me as that gobby MP who has a tendency to shout about the stuff I care about. Because I’m a woman with a cause, I have been called a feminazi witch, a murderer and threatened with rape. The internet attracts a classy crowd. So, speaking the truth isn’t always easy but I believe it’s worth it. And I want you to believe it too. The truth can be empowering, the truth can lead to greater equality, and the world would be incredibly boring if we let all of those people who allegedly know everything, say everything. By demanding to be heard, by dealing with our imposter syndrome, by being cheerleaders, doers not sayers, creating our own networks and by daring to believe that we can make a difference, we can. We’re women and we’re kick-ass. And that’s the truth._____________________''Joyfully candid and very funny.'' Guardian''Jess Phillips knows the truth . . . and here she shows how scary and sad as well as joyful and liberating the answers can be.'' Damian Barr''Everywoman has all the laughs [of Lena Dunham and Caitlin Moran] with a backbone of real glinting anger . . .there were so many funny and wise things on each page that whittling them down into a review seemed impossible.'' Julie Birchill, Spectator''As fresh as mountain air amid the Westminster tumbleweed.'' Metro''Arresting.''

Teprve pak si uvědomí, že jestli nezačne žít jinak, zemře.Ve svých dojemně lidských, srdceryvných pamětech se Thistle upřímně a nebojácně svěřuje se svou problematickou minulostí, píše o ústrcích, které zažil, i o tom, jak se dozvěděl pravdu o svých rodičích.

Taking as its starting point the first-ever retrospective exhibition (2021) of performance art icon Jess Dobkin, the book reflects on the internationally acclaimed artist’s playful and provocative practice as performer, activist, curator, and community leader. At the same time, it grapples with a question that is vital for art and performance studies: How do archives perform?More than a discrete showing of a single artist’s work, the exhibition, including its new staging in book form, is a large-scale research experiment in performance curation, investigating what it might mean for art institutions to take seriously the embodied and communal nature of performance art in their practices of archiving and museological display. In Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective, a cast of renowned international performance theorists and artists dive into this exploration alongside Dobkin, curator Emelie Chhangur, and performance theorist and dramaturg Laura Levin. These contributions appear alongside a riot of full colour photographs, providing access to Dobkin’s celebrated artistic productions from the last 30 years.
