Without containing formulas for making any specific drug, this book covers the practical construction of a laboratory, the risks involved, security for the lab, what equipment is needed, and the use of police scanners. Also covered are the procuring of suspicious supplies and how increasingly law enforcement monitors the purchase of chemical equipment. Because of the drug war there is more control of information on chemistry, but many of these techniques could be used by amateur chemists to do legal, basement research. This material is very basic and is not a substitute for instruction, experimentation and experience in chemistry. So buyer beware. MC

For those who wish to survive the coming Tribulation without having to resort to taking the Mark of the Beast or even paying taxes to ZOG, a covenant community is the way to go. Author Spear, the self-defense instructor for Bo Gritz’s SPIKE Survival Training Team, has written numerous books and pamphlets on self-defense, and is also the author of Surviving Global Slavery: Living Under the New World Order, a book that presents “practical common sense solutions to the challenges created by rejecting the Mark of the Beast.” Creating Covenant Communities is a more detailed tactical companion to Surviving Global Slavery. As per instructions from the Holy Spirit, it’s written in a more narrative style and includes a number of informative, though fictionalized, scenarios. These use a loose “interview” format, allowing the various characters to discuss such important topics as the pros and cons of certain alternative economic exchange systems, such as the HOURS system and the Mormon’s “United Order”; why paying state and federal taxes is “similar to paying a title to Satan”; how to battle “environmental wacko laws”; how and why to be “adopted” by an Indian tribe; the importance of seeking a “Godly and righteous” leader; and speculation on the ‘’divinely inspired document” known as the U.S. Constitution. Includes a handy resource guide and a Mormonesque “Ward Organization” chart. DB

A highly readable and amply illustrated historical overview of forged documents (both petty and famous) and the methods of their detection. Although he inadvertently offers a how-to manual for handwriting forgery and document alteration, the author demonstrates that very little can escape detection by forensic detectives and their high-tech methods, which brings to mind the old forger’s adage: “The only good forgery is one that is never suspected.” HS
