Michael Ginsburg: Digital ID is Game Over, Time to Sabotage Technocracy

Mein Kampf, written by Adolf Hitler while he was imprisoned following the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, is a two-volume work that combines autobiography and political treatise. The book details Hitler's early life, his experiences during World War I, and his increasing antisemitism and militarism. It outlines his vision for Germany, including the need for Lebensraum (living space) in Eastern Europe, and his racist and anti-Semitic views. The work became the central text of National Socialism and a blueprint for Hitler's policies, including aggressive foreign policy and the persecution of Jews and other minority groups.

A. Ralph Epperson's "The New World Order" is a book exploring various conspiracy theories, including claims about a secret cabal controlling world events.

The book's impact lies primarily in its influence on other conspiracy theorists and its contribution to the spread of misinformation. It lacks credible evidence and relies heavily on speculation.
