Protecting Civilians In War Is A New Concept Driven By Bleeding Heart Paranoia

March 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Explorer, philosopher and Jacksonville, Florida author, Bruce Nappi, has just released two volumes of his new book series LIARS!  The books present over 40 major discoveries that answer many of the most critical unanswered questions of the ages, including why we have so much chaos and strife in modern society.  Difficult psychological and philosophical discoveries are explained using everyday language in a readable, exciting novel format.  The discoveries affect every part of our culture, making the books interesting and valuable reading for everyone who seeks understanding and improvement for today's society.


War, as a conscious attack by one tribe against another, has been a human behavior since the dawn of homo sapiens. And since the dawn of civilization, people who participated were considered to be nobel in their tribes. In early human history, there was no concept of a “civilian” class that was separate from war. Every human male was considered eligible for combat, and every surviving male or female of a conquered tribe eligible for slavery. Bystanders in a conflict were expendable.  But the focus of battle as competition among “full” humans, which until recently, was not thought to include women, led to substantial stylization in conflict: uniforms, codes of honor, rules of conduct. As recently as the 19th century, armies still approached each other in scripted lines, only during daylight, firing at each other, or attacking, with equally matched equipment. This all changed with WW I and II and the appearance of powerful but sophisticated weapons. It was no longer a case where every male citizen could learn war fighting by practicing with wooden swords and muskets in the back yard. Fielding an army meant the accumulation of expensive weapons and serious training during peacetime. War had become another captive of the industrial revolution.

But this period also saw the rise of modern communications. And with that the ability of people to discuss the beliefs of people like Karl Marx and Thomas Jefferson. The western world was testing democracy, but coming to the realization that governments, despite all their claims to be the voice of the people, were often just the monarchies of old in sheep’s clothing. This has evolved into a pervasive sense of helplessness among those not in government leadership roles. And in the weaker among us, it appears as full blown paranoia. To escape this fear, these people created the mythical psychological protection we call “the civilian”. It’s mythical because of the mass killings that go on around the world on a continuing basis. But politicians play up the "civilian" word to justify conflict.


The books -- LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole; and Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity -- are based on Nappi's experience as one of the Eagle Scouts on the 1965 North Pole Expedition.  They present an "Atlas Shrugged" philosophical romp through a 3 Stooges run government research world, challenging the most fundamental beliefs of human culture.  The coming of age saga is filled with amazing true-life adventures expanded by the insights of 40 years in the rough and tumble world of high tech business intrigue.  A life threatening climax in volume 2 finally creates a setting to pull together all the wisdom and lay out a broad and comprehensive explanation for many of the problems modern society can't seem to understand.

Ultimately, the reader will learn how public statements claiming to represent broad "public opinion", are predominantly the voice of a small elite minority intent on maintaining superiority.  Mankind's greatest social institutions:  government, religion, science, education, law, medicine, and even the U.S. Constitution, are challenged and shown to be corrupt.  A unified structure emerges which becomes the basis for a new social structure for mankind.

About Bruce Nappi

Bruce Nappi is founder and president of the A3 Society and author of the books LIARS!  Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole; and Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity.  An award winning scholar, he graduated from MIT with both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Astronautics ( yes, a true MIT rocket scientist ).  As an engineer and manager, he used his multi-disciplined technical background to develop leading edge products in medicine, optics, production systems, military systems, and automated testing.  His resume is filled with breakthroughs like: the first fully automated system to fabricate dental crowns; fastest DNA sequencing machine in the world (1990); first 512 sensor solid state array for measuring muscle contractions; first infrared fiber optic probe for direct measurement of human blood chemistry; first practical solution for content addressable memory which can speed up computer processing over a thousand times. He is currently Administrative Director for CSESaR, the Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida.

Throughout his career, he was dismayed by repeated failures of society to draw on even a fraction of the technical advances available. He was greatly disturbed that, even with ever-growing technical capabilities, the number of poor and starving kept increasing while great wealth continued to concentrate in the hands of a few. When modern communications opened the door to participative democracy, western governments, waving the banner of democracy, hypocritically established legal barriers to keep government decisions in the hands of special interests and legislative aristocrats. This led to his lifelong quest that produced the discoveries presented in the book series LIARS!  The A3 Society was founded to promote those discoveries through education. His work is summarized online at A3society.org. The books are available at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Nappi
