36th book of 2024 complete: In the Blood by Jack Carr Finished this before @The Bitcoin Conference and forgot to post it. Borderline sci-fi which makes it all the more terrifying to consider the implications. Carr masterfully weaves AI into the fabric of this story without making it seem unrealistic. The scary thiught is, reality may be far more dangerous! image
35th book of 2024 complete: The Devil’s Hand by Jack Carr Not only did Jack top Savage Son, a feat I wasn’t sure he could pull off, but he did it on the very next book! I’ve never read fiction that made me take notes, but this one is packed with great information. If you want to have an adversarial mindset, don’t just read this book, study it! image
34th book of 2024 complete: Sovereignty by Ryan Michler Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men meets Jocko Willink’s Extreme Ownership meets The Sovereign Individual in this book on becoming the best man that you can be. Fitting that I finished this right before Independence Day While we celebrate our nation’s independence, don’t forget to fight for your individual independence image
31st book of 2024 complete: Civilian Warriors by Erik Prince I finished this a couple weeks ago but I wanted to finish the Tucker Carlson interview of Prince first While I can’t rule out that the book was written for damage control and to reshape the image and narrative around Backwater and Prince, the USG propaganda machine was certainly directed at conservative organizations at this time. And while I use to think the contractors were exorbitantly paid, Prince does an excellent job of pointing out how US Service Members are paid through benefits that far exceed their salaries. The fact is, for the Lizard class who wants the US continually engaged in conflicts around the world while the Federal deficit is spiraling out of control, this business model is the only way to make it happen. Ironically, they should be praising Prince for showing them how it should be done. Luckily for the Freedom Fighters, he seems to be out of that game. Although the CIA connections are still something to remain vigilant about. I’d recommend reading this book for a better understanding of PMCs, government propaganda and tactics against political opponents, and some insight in to ways future wars might be funded and conducted. image
