A Secret Room Where a Tiny Elite Rule the World: Adventures with Extremists (2002)
Them: Adventures with Extremists is a book by British journalist Jon Ronson published in 2001. About the book:
The book accompanied Ronson's documentary series The Secret Rulers of the World, which covered similar topics and depicted many of the same episodes. Both the series and book detail Ronson's encounters following theorists and activists residing on the fringes of the political, religious, and sociological spectrum.
Ronson chronicles his travels and interviews with “extremists” and attempts to uncover the mystery behind the “tiny elite that rules the world from inside a secret room” (13). The book is written on the premise that perhaps extremists are not all that crazy, and as different as they may seem to be, they have a lot in common with each other (specifically the belief that a small group of very prominent people controls the fate of the entire world). From Omar Bakri Mohammed (“Osama bin Laden’s man in Great Britain”) to Thom Robb (Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan), Ronson exposes the hilarity and absurdity of their missions, but also, at times, their startling sanity.
His adventures lead him from Britain to Ruby Ridge, Idaho, to Waco, Texas, all the way to Portugal. Ronson documents his journeys through the world with extremist tour guides and “the result is a funny, superbly controlled account of his wanderings through the wonderland of fanaticism and delusion” (jonronson.com).
Alongside subjects covered in The Secret Rulers of the World, Ronson also describes encounters with radical Islamic activist Omar Bakri Muhammad, Ku Klux Klan leader Thomas Robb, Northern Irish politician Ian Paisley and film director Tony Kaye. Omar Bakri Muhammad, Thom Robb, and Ian Paisley were the subjects of the earlier Ronson documentaries, Tottenham Ayatollah, New Klan, and Dr. Paisley, I Presume.
Much of this book is dedicated to the meeting places of the Bilderberg Group.
Ronson's first book, Clubbed Class (1994), is a travelogue in which he bluffs his way into a jet set lifestyle, in search of the world's finest holiday.[10]
His second book, Them: Adventures with Extremists (2001) chronicles his experiences with people labelled as extremists. Subjects in the book include David Icke, Randy Weaver, Omar Bakri Muhammad, Ian Paisley, Alex Jones, and Thom Robb. Ronson also follows independent investigators of secretive groups such as the Bilderberg Group. The narrative tells of Ronson's attempts to infiltrate the shadowy cabal fabled, by these conspiracy theorists, to rule the world.[11] The book, a bestseller,[12] was described by Louis Theroux as funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a paranoid shadow world.[13] Variety magazine announced in September 2005 that Them has been purchased by Universal Pictures to be turned into a feature film. The screenplay is being written by Mike White (School of Rock, The Good Girl), produced by White and the comedian Jack Black, and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead).[14]
Ronson contributed the memoir A Fantastic Life to the Picador anthology Truth or Dare, in 2004.[15]
Ronson's third book, The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004), deals with the secret New Age unit within the United States Army called the First Earth Battalion. Ronson investigates people such as Major General Albert Stubblebine III, former head of intelligence, who believe that people can walk through walls with the right mental preparation, and that goats can be killed simply by staring at them. Much was based on the ideas of Lt. Col. Jim Channon, ret., who wrote the First Earth Battalion Operations Manual in 1979, inspired by the emerging Human Potential Movement of California. The book tells how these New Age military ideas mutated over the decades to influence interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay. An eponymous film of the book was released in 2009, in which Ronson's investigations were fictionalised and structured around a journey to Iraq. Ronson is played by the actor Ewan McGregor in the film.[16]
Ronson's fourth book, Out of the Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness (2006; Picador and Guardian Books) is a collection of his Guardian articles, mostly those concerning his domestic life. A companion volume was What I Do: More True Tales of Everyday Craziness (2007).
Barshaw Park, Paisley, Scotland Drone
Taking the dog and drone out for a walk, that was fun.. Barshaw park first thing this morning just joggers and dog walkers out.
Which was perfect timing to fly about using the drone and capture things from the old railway, Barshaw Golf Club, the big pond newly refurbished, new kids park and then a fly to the peace gardens. Thanks to Paisley Buddie for this great view of one of the largest parks in Paisley.

Short Girl Problems | Things Short Girls Understand
It’s always a little discouraging when you’re definitely not a little kid anymore, but your feet still don’t touch the ground while sitting in a chair! Finding pants that are the correct length for short legs is a STRUGGLE! Even if they fit great everywhere else, they are almost always too long. I think the worst part for us about being short is that we are the oldest of our siblings, but all of our siblings are PASSING US IN HEIGHT! At least Dax & Paisley are still little! But, Paisley and I wear the same shoe size and Bailey and I are almost 19 and she’s 7!!
Of course these are just daily annoyances that we find amusing...sometimes you just have to laugh about these kinds of things! We would never actually want to change anything about our height. Being short is COOL! There are definitely benefits. You’ll always fit under blankets, and you never have to worry about not having leg room in a car or airplane! ????
