"The Realist" archives updated. If that mag title is unfamiliar, you have all the more need to
explore these archives. You'll find a lot more truth here than anywhere else. And I mean that absolutely. Not any hot-topics-of-the-day site or editorialist or the best investigative reporting will get as close to the core truth as did this low budget magazine.

http://www.ep.tc/realist/

Following is the summary of the recent additions to the archive:
Issue No. 04, November 1958
24 pages, click to read

Continuing our closing out of the rarely seen first ten issues: Death of a Pope, Teen-age Nazi, Some Thoughts on Pornography, and early Dick Nixon.


Issue No. 70, December 1966
24 pages, click to read

Including Birth Control for the poor, Who Killed the Herald Tribune?, A Vision of St. Luci's Day, and early writing from Robert Christgau


Issue No. 133, Summer 1996
8 pages, click to read

Including Mad Cow Disease, Robert Anton Wilson on Timothy Leary's death, Memories of the Unabomber and The Don Imus Transcript


Issue No. 135, Spring 1997
8 pages, click to read

Featuring Crack Salesman by Harry Shearer, Johnnie Cochran Meets Dr. Hip, and P.K. on "The Parts Left Out of the Larry Flynt Movie."


Throughout Paul Krassner's work, you will find interviews with people the Corporatist media will never mention, beyond maybe a 3 second obit.

You will find interviews with many the corporatist state tossed into prison.

You will find insights and analyses and a point of view, that of us rather than those things, that will never be funded by the machines.

Take a little time. Learn some stuff you won't easily learn any where else.

You will probably (I hope) recognize many of the names, but have you ever heard them speak their truths for more than a single selected soundbite moment? Jerry Garcia, Lenny Bruce, Robert Anton Wilson, Larry Flynt, Tim Leary, Ken Kesey, Norman Mailer, and essays and commentary by many less known but no less clued in.

This is a long buried treasure, and now that it is being made a part of the Commons, it is a treasure that each of us can possess. If we make that small effort.

I Highly Recommend browsing through these pages, reading very carefully whatever, and going back again and again to read more. Zinn wrote the "The People's History of the US." Here is the is where you'll find rest of the story.
