📚 The Forbidden Reading List

From money and mind control to manufactured wars — this is the reading list they never wanted you to find.

I’ve linked every book for you, just click each title to be taken directly to the most reliable source I recommend, so you’re getting the most accurate version possible. If you prefer to purchase it on Kindle, simply switch to that option on the page (I recommend buying paperback because retention is better!)

It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: a recommendation is not an endorsement of everything the author says. A lot of these authors will challenge everything you’ve been taught, and that’s the point. Just because something sounds crazy doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Please share this list with everybody you absolutely can. The more people who wake up, the better. Information only becomes power when it’s passed on.

This isn’t an exhaustive list. I’ve read thousands of books, and I’ll keep adding to this archive daily. Save this post so you can revisit it, and stay tuned, because documentaries are coming next.

Some of these titles have been buried or banned for a reason. When the Establishment doesn’t want you to read something, that’s usually the biggest clue that you should. If the books weren’t available I uploaded them as a google drive link that you can download so be sure to click into each title as I mentioned above.

Leave a comment for any genres / topics you’d like me to add next.

Enjoy!
