For the Openminded,
By Blahblahblah (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History (Paperback)
This book doesn't pretend to be 100% true. The editor Keith even warns to the introduction of some articles that this or that particular one may be deliberate disinformation. However, as he notes in the introduction to the book, most media is unwilling to even allow the public to consider ideas that are counter to accepted dogma and make up their own minds, and the purpose of the book is to stimulate debate. Some of the articles are extremely well researched and beyond dispute and in the vein of the Project Censored book series, like one proving that the Jonestown Massacre was NOT a mass suicide but a mass murder (drinking poison Kool-Aid does not leave bullet holes in one's back). There are more questionable but still interesting articles, e.g. one on how Aids was invented by the government to eliminate blacks and gays, but with some clearly factual background. A, what I assume, is a brilliant social satire written from the point of view of "The Conspiracy" called "Quiet Weapons for Secret Wars" which one realizes, after reading for a while, is about how the monetary system ITSELF(vs. Capitalism, etc.) may be seen as a tool of social control. There are also paranoid rants of varying worth, but the most indisputely brilliant of them being by Shelby Downard which may be easy to dismiss on an intellectual level, but is very effective on an emotional level. Also included is a brilliant essay "Is Paranoia a Form of Awareness?" written by the only person to have published a book about Lee Harvey Oswald BEFORE the Kennedy Assasination (about their life in the Marines and as guinea pigs for MK-Ultra) that notes that the so-called average person is usually in a state of denial and also notes his own experiences with the Garrison investigation (depicted in the movie JFK). And don't place any importance into the fact that there is a swastika on the cover. There is also a cross, a crescent, and other symbols that have been used to control the masses on the cover. The fact that someone who hasn't even read the book missed the point further illustrates the book's necessity.

Couldn't even finish it,

This review is from: Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History (Paperback)
If ever there was a book that epidomized the phrase "you can't judge a book by it's cover", this is it.It's just a collection of writings that couldn't make it into real conspiracy books. And there's a reason: because they are incoherent, poorly written and just plain stupid. The longest one is about how the Masons did everything, but it seems that there is no transition between his ideas. Two paragraphs about Masonic control of the royal throne in Englans and suddenly it changes to JFK. You reread it thinking that you missed something, but you didn't. Terrible. Lots of Masonic/Illuminati conspiracy theories, which I'm not really into. But if you are, I would have to imagine that there are better books on the subject.

A Must Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History (Paperback)
This book is a page-turner and hard to put down, though at times one must put it down to absorb the shock of the information. Many will be surprised, and actually horrified how the government within a government worked behind the scenes for many years up to the present. I highly recommend this book and ignore and am amused at those who desire to continue to keep the information hidden and suppressed.
