“Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.” – Wilson Mizner

Whether you’re wondering how on earth I derived these radical theories and want to ensure I’m not making them up, or if you actually agree with some of my points and wish to learn more, I hope to provide a mini-library of resources to spread knowledge and keep up the fight for liberty.  Below I have compiled a list of items that I think may be helpful.  I only list items that I have fully read/seen or are currently reading and can vouch for.  Additionally, if I ever find the time, I will provide some brief comments on each item.  Note that this page is a continuous work in progress, as enlightenment is a lifelong process – I will always keep finding sources and resources and will post them here as I finish them.

FORMAT: All items are listed alphabetically by title.  If any item is available for free online, I have hyperlinked to where it may be found.  I have highlighted particularly important items in bold.  I have asterisked (*) items that are friendly to the unfamiliar lay person and serve as great introductions to the topics at hand.  Items that may be found extremely disturbing have been marked with a (†).
