The Young Adult novel LOOKING FOR THE REAL THING by Alan Gorg is the story of a Los Angeles high school senior seeking a simpler future away from angry kids, stressed adults, monstrous schools, everyday violence, massive traffic, choking smog, sickening pollution—seeking a little peace, a little quiet, some connection with nature. http://lookingfortherealthing.wordpress.com HOW TO JUMP START YOUR WAR is a satirical look at the four similar deceptive protocols used to start each of the last four big international wars: World War Two, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Most people of all political stripes do not like being swindled, and this animated and historical video is about giving college and high school classroom exposure to what might possibly be the four biggest fakes of the last hundred years. This video is sure to provoke discussion about the causes of war. Please note that among the four rulers primarily responsible for those four big wars, there was one fascist, one communist, one Democrat, and one Republican. War is an equal opportunity enterprise. http://howtojumpstartyourwar.wordpress.com HOW TO JUMP START YOUR WAR (20 minutes) has become part of a longer anti-war video WAR INVESTMENT SEMINAR (26 minutes) to present the financial motivation to provoke modern international wars for their maximization of investment profit potential. http://warinvestmentseminar.wordpress.com WAR INVESTMENT SEMINAR with HOW TO JUMP START YOUR WAR have now expanded to become part of the anti-war, pro-peace video PEACE & WAR (31 minutes) to present a hopeful conclusion about wars the people succeeded in stopping.
