Links below to Archive.org free PDF and ordering information for paperback and e-book of March 2012 book 2020: Our Common Destiny and Anti-Communitarian Manifesto (formerly two separate books).

These documents and their citation sections are extremely important for

  1. building public understanding of how the silent overthrow conducted by Satanic globalist technocrats has been conducted over the last century, to lead mankind astray under diabolically false “common good” pretenses; and

  2. helping more people use that information to turn back from the wrong road and get back to the right road.

Please purchase and/or download for storage/printing/sharing, and/or financially support Friedrich’s ongoing publishing work (GoFundMe link) if you are financially able.
