A MUST-READ--best book on alien abduction, Dec 20 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda (Paperback)
Out of all the theories that try to make sense and explain alien abductions (and UFOs in general), none is so complete, thorough, logical, and scholarly as Jacobs'.
In the beginning, he points out why the alien abduction phenomenon is clearly real and why it isn't true that the many abduction stories (all over the world) are simply made up, dreamed of, caused by hypnosis, or caused by psychological or other problems (and how they differ from false "repressed memories" which sometimes occurs under incompetent hypnosis). He later analyses the many stories and comes up with a rational theory that makes perfect sense. All the strange events and procedures the aliens perform during abductions as well as the secrecy of the phenomenon make perfect sense after you read this book.
Unlike others who view the abduction phenomenon in a spiritual or religious sense and automatically assume that aliens and abductions are benevolent and are here to help or better mankind or are here from a higher spiritual realm (he explains why people believe this and how it is incorrect), he thoroughly investigates and looks at the UFO and abduction phenomenon logically, rationally and scientifically. When you put all the pieces of the puzzle together, the abductions make sense and the aliens intentions become clear. Their intentions are not benevolent, in our best interests, or to help or better mankind. Far from it, they have a dangerous and malevolent plan underway. I agree with the reviewer who said that not only should people interested in the UFO and paranormal phenomenon read it but everyone should.
UFOS and the abduction phenomenon are real(for evidence for, and an overview of UFOs and aliens also read Alien Agenda) . There are just way too many stories performed by unbiased and competent hypnosis (Jacobs explains how the aliens prevent people from remembering it, at least under normal circumstances), all over the world, and sometimes even with physical evidence (not much-the aliens are very careful), such as implants, markings on the ground,strange medical evidence, body marks and bruises, persons missing for a period of time, etc.
After so many abduction accounts, you'd think it would be clear that these beings are not benevolent, that they aren't spiritual beings from another dimension, that they aren't kindly "space brothers", and that "new-ageish" theories such as that is simply the result of wishful thinking.
For those who say it's impossible to travel light-years from even the nearest star, well, it may be impossible for us to do it with our method of space travel , but that doesn't mean a much more technologically advanced civilization hasn't found a way to do it. Two or three centuries ago we thought it would be impossible to fly or go to the moon. I think this is the best book on alien abduction because it makes sense of it. The aliens have a reason for their secrecy, and it's not to protect us, but to hide their intentions. Read this book.

Gradual - Accelerated - Sudden., Feb 23 2001
This review is from: The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda (Paperback)
If you are like many 'skeptics,' which is to say if you have a narrow and closed mind, are riddled with prejudices, and are a fanatical believer in the 'truths' you were indoctrinated with during your childhood, skip this book. It isn't for you. Scorn is cheap, and you would gain nothing by reading it.
If, on the other hand, you have an open mind, and one strong enough to contemplate the most horrifying news ever brought to mankind, you should certainly read it, but not perhaps before bracing yourself for the worst.
Jacobs is a highly qualified academic who has spent much of his life investigating the UFO phenomenon, and his book is based on over seven hundred hypnotic-regression interviews, extracts from many of which are cited in this well-written and thoroughly researched study. He is a brave man and writes with authority. We should be grateful to him, although the picture he has slowly pieced together from these varied voices is terrifying.
It isn't easy to create natural dialogue, to create the feel of a real person speaking, to summon up the image of a vivid and believable man, woman, or child in just a few lines. Only the very greatest writers can do this. And this is what frightens me. I sincerely hope that Professor Jacobs, besides being a scholar, is also a literary genius, a fraud, and deluded, though I fear he isn't any of these. I fear that these voices, as he claims, came right off the tapes.
As one trained in literary analysis, what impresses me most about this book is the wide range of utterly believable individual voices we are given, voices of many different persons who are evidently sincere. In these interviews we see them struggling to come to terms with the abductee experience, and trying to describe what they saw, heard, and felt as well as they can. They deserve our gratitude and our sympathy, and one feels disgusted that the official world offers them no support at all.
Some of these individuals are clearly intelligent and highly articulate; others appear none too bright and are poor speakers. But they are all real, and even those who have trouble expressing themselves manage to convey enough for us to see what they are trying to tell us. Only another Arthur Miller or Tennessee Williams could have made these voices up.
As for the news the abductees bring, it can be stated briefly. The Aliens are here. They have been here for some time. They have made complete fools of us. The Alien strategy consists of three stages: Gradual - Accelerated - Sudden. They are delighted with their progress and are currently approaching the end of the accelerated stage, at the completion of which will occur - "The Change." One abductee reports: "This thing is going down a lot sooner than people think."
We do not know precisely what means the Aliens will employ to precipitate the global catastrophe that is to sweep most of us away, but one can imagine them thinking something like this:
The Earth is a beautiful planet. Why leave it in the hands of greedy and primitive Earthlings whose economic machine is rapidly converting it into garbage? It will be a relatively simple matter to divert a suitable- sized asteroid and have it slam into the Pacific. After which...
For the rest, and there's a lot more, you will have to read Jacobs. It's worse, much worse, than you can imagine. No-one could have imagined this.
But don't read this book if you ever want to sleep well again at night, or perhaps I should have said in the nights you have left...

Jacobs assembles some more of the jigsaw pieces, Oct 13 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda (Paperback)
Having read many different articles in numerous publications it is apparent that there are many pieces to this immense jigsaw puzzle we refer to as Alien visitation. It can surely be no accident that cultural differences amongst the population on this planet rarely have any bearing on the "facts" surrounding the abduction phenomenon. I was not surprised to read what Jacobs had to say, but the methodical approach he has taken in researching the phenomenon adds a great deal of credence to the subject in general. The big question is if the reality of Alien abduction is nothing more than a fantasy, then why does Jacobs' research highlight similarities in many unconnected events so well. I couldn't put it down. It's an excellent book, which presents a very plausible argument for those wishing to understand WHY THEY are here.
