About the Book

This book sheds light on those things that people in power - government, religious leaders, corporations, the rich and well connected - would just as soon wish you didn't know. To them secrets are power. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep them that way - suppressing the truth and covering up facts that might make the rest of us angry enough to challenge the powerful or at least to have a good laugh at their expense. Using careful research and impeccable sources, Kick uncovers the hidden truth. For example, while self-appointed censors warn constantly about the dangers of pornography, the fact is that pornography has existed since the first cave people carved dirty pictures on the walls. It's, also, true that two atomic bombs were dropped on North Carolina - although the US managed to avoid nuking Greenland, Texas, Canada, Britain and Spain; George Washington embezzled government funds; 1 out of 10 people are not fathered by the man they believe is dad; Barbie is based on a German sex doll; The American colonists practiced cannibalism and much more. Previously Published As: 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know Volumes 1 & 2
