Don DeGrandpre's book Serpent's Sting contains anti-Semitic content and Holocaust denial.

I found a copy of Serpent Sting available online on the website of America First Books, which also celebrates the legacy of people like David Duke and Kevin Alfred Strom, and is a thoroughly anti-Semitic outlet full of Holocaust denial. The prologue of Don DeGrand Prix's book is mostly him insisting that he is not anti-Semitic, and then he goes and says this. First, he cites a Time magazine editorial where the author is discussing the fear of an impending conflict between Israel and Palestine, where she says, quote, Both sides know two things in advance of another fight. Israel will win it and it will be horribly painful. In response to this, Don says, quote, Therein, in that succinct statement, is the heart of the troubles and misery of civilization over the past 3,000 years, all perpetuated by a biblical band of outcasts, which history records as the tribes of Judah and Benjamin with their maniacal thirst for destruction and revenge forever. Yeesh. He goes on to say that the introduction of the concept of anti-Semitism was done solely to make people afraid to criticize the people running the world, and that the Holocaust was faked, quote, to seek the sympathy of the populations of the UK, US, and Canada. Makes sense to me. Tracks! To sum up what I read, he's incredibly anti-Semitic and spends a lot of time trying to discredit the idea of anyone being called anti-Semitic.

Trump's book does not contain the specific warnings about bin Laden that he claims to have made in his interview.

Also, FactCheck reviewed Trump's book, and he didn't say any of this shit in it. This is the only mention he makes of bin Laden in the entire book. Quote, instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flashpoints, standoffs, and hotspots. We're not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We're playing tournament chess, one master against many rivals. One day, we're all assuming that Iraq is under control. The UN inspectors have done their work. Everything's fine. Not to worry. The next day, the bombings begin. One day, we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin Laden is public enemy number one, and the U.S. jet fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later, it's on to a new enemy and a new crisis. That was his mention of something. But he's maybe lying about the context in this interview.

Gordon White's book The Chaos Protocols is a millennial screed against how the government and the economy are exploiting people.

The chaos protocols is two things. It is like an exhaustive collection of historical spells and magic and an exploration of where they came from and who created them. Really, really dense. The other thing it is, is a millennial screed against how the government and the economy is fucking us over, and how in the 1960s, certain things were worth this, and now we can't buy houses. Sure.
