5.0 out of 5 stars Three Dollars Well Spent, October 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Insiders (Paperback)

The best thing about this book is that there is a membership roster at the back of the book. The second best thing is that you will never again be impressed by any organization that tells you what their fancy name is, but not what they do at their secret meetings. The third best thing is that you will learn that prominent public figures from government officials to journalists to bankers - think that American sovereignty (meaning that Americans control America) is not important, and should not exist. The fourth best thing is that you can take that knowledge with you to the voting booth. My main reason for believing it's not paranoid is... you never hear CFR members dispute these things - they just watch carefully to see if anyone cares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is really behind big politics?, July 18, 2000

By 

Ingo Breuer (Mechernich, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Insiders (Paperback)

Have you ever wondered why the Western economy is investing in Communist China, while the bad human rights record is being ignored? Why is it, that those who warn about China's malicious Communist power are being browbeaten, scoffed and mocked? When you read this book, you will know the answer to those questions and to a great number of other questions about world politics. Can you tell me why an immoral and perjuring US president has never been impeached? I think this book has the answer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Historical Analysis of Recent History, January 13, 2001

By 

Agatha Nostic "AgNostic" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Insiders (Paperback)

This book presents a view of history based on the theory that there exists an undercurrent to establish a one-world government; and that this undercurrent has been manifest in world events and American presidencies over the last forty years. The evidence used to support this theory certainly provides a coherent view of recent history. In fact, many seemingly unrelated historical events suddenly make sense when one applies the book's thesis. I'm not a conspiracist but I think every American ought to at least consider the possibility that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to the events that take place around us. This book would be a good place for one to start considering the possibility.
