Trudeau's newest book

Trudeau is back, with a new book. Just saw it when I was in Borders today.
On the front cover he claims not only to have been 'censored' by the government (hmm, wonder why), but also to be taking on many large entities.
I flipped it open for a lark, and landed on a section proclaiming that vaccines kill. It seems that the mercury gets into the brain and does bad things (perhaps the 99.9% of people that survive vaccines are, er, mercury immune? Have strong minds?)
Just thought y'all should know, if you don't already.
The book title begins "More Natural Cures Revealed."

If you are talking about his "Natural Cures THEY Don't Want You To Know About," it has been out for many months, and has been discussed here at some length. Just do a search on his name.

If it is another book, what is the title?
 
From the book description at Amazon
“Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.”

I love the way he sets himself to be the crusader for the little person fighting the big bad corporations while at the same time endangering the health and taking there money of the same people he claims to be a champion for :mad:

I saw this new one at B&N the other day. It was displayed very prominently, but yet there was not one book in the entire store by James Randi.

I did see a couple of books by Michael Shermer. I was afraid to go look at the woo section. I'm sure there would have been numerous books by Browne, which would have just ticked me off. :mad:
 
I also saw this book in the bookstore today. I told the guy working the counter that it was utter crap. He agreed, but said his company has a policy "if it's in print, they sell it."

I wonder if NAMBLA has anything in print that they would be willing to sell?

Check the woo section. Randi strategically has some of his books placed there by some stores. I asked about Flim Flam once years ago and was directed to the metaphysical section. Being outraged at the concept that Randi would be in that section I e-mailed and either he, or someone responding on his behalf stated that was the strategy. Get a better chance at maybe opening some eyes once in a while.

Edit: I've often dreamed of one day retiring and hopefully having enough money to open a bookstore without having to have concern for it making money. I could call the woo section "The Woo Section" but then realized I'd have to have a woo section to do that.

Actually, I asked the clerk, and she looked it up in the computer. No dice.

I like that strategy through.

When you get your bookstore, and someone comes up and asks for one of those silly books, then you could whip out a sign that says: "No woo for you."
 
Fair warning to all of you here, my honor and integrety have slowly been crumbling away and I've decided, here and now, that rather than slave away at work being productive I'm going to write woo. It doesn't matter which kind, in fact I'll probably spew out a recycled stack of lunacy on every topic known to man at a pace that would shock romance novelists. There seems to be an endless market of dull-eyed people who have switched off the part of their brain that produces doubt, incredulity, curiousity and wonder. These people are out there, they're dripping cash from every pore and they're shoving the rest of humanity out of the way to get to the bookstores and pharmacies, screaming for service.

Your demands for evidence will be music to my ears, indicating my ascendance to the upper enchelons of woo production. Pleas to humanity, humility and honesty will slide past like water off a duck, landing on the dusty floor alongside all the other vestages of reality that I shall slough off. The almighty buck shall be my secret mistress as I laud my new wedding to the gilded gods of "alternative" and "new age".

I shall erect a facade of caring concern for the wellfare of my fellow man that would bring Nightingale to quiet, sobbing tears. It shall stand tall and wide, sweeping into the clouds, presenting a face of compassion and staunch resistance to the old demons of science and medicine that shall inspire the flocks to fleece themselves willingly on my very doorstep. Behind that front will be a machine of industry, belching black soot as it cranks out dusted off ideas with new names. Phrenology! Physiognomy! Palmistry! Astrology! Graphology! I shall have a crack team of internet researchers churning out new "ologies" from the old, slapping on prefixes from latin, greek or ATLANTEAN origin! No oddity of woo nor pocket of acolyte shall be safe from my clutching talons.

There's a used bookstore near my home that I visit weekly, and the owner's on-board. A woman came in with her kid saying she was helping him with a school project: they had to do a report about some prehistoric culture. She asked if they had any books on what life was like before the Flood. She couldn't find anything in history or anthropology.

He said, "Ah. You're looking in the wrong place. Try fiction. Over there."
 
is there a name for this woo trick that he uses? it is pretty standard for conspiracy theorists, but basically, he says that he has "knowledge" that all the power players dont want you to know about, and the fact that these power players actually dont want him to share his knowledge plays perfectly into his story. of course, we know this is usually because the "power players" dont want people to fall for the scam, but it is a catch-22 for them. since i see it so often but it is sort of wordy to explain, i was wondering if there was a concise name for it and possibly a really famous example to throw out.

Umberto Eco mocks this type of approach as 'hermetic' thought in Foucault's Pendulum (see esp p208) - he gives a v entertaining description of it, but not sure 'hermetic' is a particularly helpful word...
 
I'd dub it communal persecution complex. There is a shared paranoia of "them" and any action take by "them" must be assumed to be wrong and countered.

ETA: oi, thanks for the nomination Orb. My frustration and ranting wore themselves out and I edited it for humor, but I assure you it started out due to a few too many head-slams at seeing Trudeau's name again.

by the way, i checked out his first book at the library (i like to do that, i checked out art bell's book too) and from what i remember, other than continual references back to the conspiracy theories, the majority of his actual advice was along the lines of "eat healthy and exercise." there was very little hard data that i could find. i guess that shouldnt surprise anyone.

oh, and for the record, i had to wait a couple of months to get the book after i requested it :eek:
 
The full title of the book is More Natural "Cures" Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Amazon listing here).
Note that the quote marks are not editorializing on my part; that's what it actually says on the cover. I smell legal a**-covering, just in case any of the touted products turns out not to actually cure anything in the commonly understood sense of the word.

What I find interesting is that among the 1-star (i.e. lowest rating) reviews on Amazon are a fair number by people who buy into sCAM but appear to recognize Trudeau for what he is.
 
Flipping thru the channels a couple of weeks ago, I saw Trudeau on one of the shopping networks, selling his new book. The hostess on the shopping program seemed very impressed with Trudeau, and was recommending the new book to viewers.

I thought that Trudeau was banned from advertising his crap.

Have you ever seen that hostess or that shopping program before? I was under the impression he hired interviewers and created programs to hawk his books.

He's only banned from advertising actual products; books and literature cannot be construed to be medicine, so he can sell those.
 
Yahzi, I don't watch Home shopping Channels, so you may be right about the hostess being employed by Trudeau.

This was a Home Shopping Channel, not one of those paid avertisments on late night television. But, maybe Trudeau bought some air time. He did have a very polished act. I'm sure he got a bunch of suckers to buy his crap.
