A look at the covered-up murder of a US Navy worker becomes a probe of reality, itself. New evidence of a 'real' Philadelphia Experiment, parallel Montauks and quantum consciousness lead to an interrogation of the very activity of belief.

Review
"So many events discussed cannot be proved, but the context, which takes in quantum physics, parallel universes and Earth realities, time travel and altered states of consciousness, cannot be dismissed lightly. And who says the US Navy stopped researching teleportation in 1943? Bruce drags up an eyewitness who suggests that it's already a reality.." -- Nexus, June 2001.

More About the Author
I graduated from Brown University with a BA in Semiotics, additional studies of cultural criticism, film theory and production at l'Université de la Sorbonne in Paris and NYU Film School.
When I was youngster, I had my own production company and I produced/directed/edited over 40 music videos for the major music conglomerates during the heyday of the video music era, including Sony, Universal, Polygram, Def Jam, Profile Records, Jive Records, Island Records, MCA, etc. (These guys' ownership switch hands so often, it was and continues to be an actual real-time blur).
I've been in the trenches for the past two decades, in film/television/catalog/book production, DVD publishing and marketing, cable TV advertising sales, and the promotion of my six (soon to be 7) published books on television, radio and the Internet.
I am Brazilian-American. I have a massive, loving and incredibly dynamic family. I have one full-, one half- and five step-brothers and sisters. I have 15 nieces and nephews and so many cousins and second-cousins, whose children who I consider to be my own nieces and nephews, as well as lifelong family friends who *are* family, including their kids...My family lives on three or four continents (when I last checked).
It's gotten to the point, where I just see everyone as family...how very blessed I am, with my immense, loving family...

Well, If It Isn't True, It's Still A Captivating Yarn,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity (Paperback)
Don't get me wrong: I love a great conspiracy read, and THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT MURDER succeeds grandly on that level.Alexandra Bruce goes to great lengths to summarize the Philadelphia Experiment while juxtaposing that factline with the unexplainable death of not one but two key figures in the mythology associated to the famous experiment taking place aboard USS Eldridge (or did it?). Of course, facts are hard to come by, in this day and age, but the author does an exceptional job places the puzzle pieces together in a coherent fashion ... with perhaps only a few pieces missing. The mysterious death of Paul Schneider (murder or suicide?) provides the true backbone to this read, the death closely following his jaunt on the convention circuit talking about the Philadelphia Experiment, the Dulce Wars, and the U.S. governments secret network of underground bases. A tried and true journalist might tear the book to shred over the lack of proof associated to the read, but therein lies the appeal to TPEM: did the Philadelphia Experiment happen or did it not AND, if it did, what was the relationship to what appears to be an obvious cover-up of what should have been a relatively routine murder investigation? While the 'Physics of Insanity' portion of the book veers off course of bit from the main thrust of the text, Ms. Bruce manages to pull it all into focus in her closing chapters, catapulting the reader to a broader level of understanding how or why the government might have a tactical need to keep whatever did or did not happen a secret. Sound confusing? Some of it may be, but Ms. Bruce creates an easily accessible account that kept me glued to the pages. A few parts of the book are a bit meaty, and, in all honesty, I would've rather seen a more expansive attempt to get to the bottom of the mysterious deaths ... but, as is common in conspiracy literature, those trails rarely lead to rewarding conclusions or destinations. Still, TPEM is well worth a glance, if for no greater purpose than to set straight some of the misconceptions surrounding the USS Eldridge, Albert Einstein, Nikolai Tesla, and the infamous Area 51.

A great Intelligence test,
By Illuminati (Galactic Central) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity (Paperback)
As Alexandra Bruce states, studying "fringe conspiracy legends" can help us gain "insights about how reality works." In this sense, she has written a book that forces the reader to confront their own belief-system and consensus-reality, noting that, "The chief benefit from the study of these nuclear-age pop-cult legends is this: Everything you can imagine is true; so choose your thoughts thoughtfully. Choose your beliefs carefully and choose your REALITY wisely." Thus, she brings into sharp relief a major issue that should concern us all, namely, a need to understand the power of belief and how mass-belief and collective belief literally shapes the reality we all live in. In this, she is going beyond the mere observation of how, say, advertising and marketing create and shape our belief-systems, but into the issue of how consciousness-energy may literally affect and shape physical reality, via that borderland world that has been called, the Imaginal realm, the psychoid, the omnijective and quantum potentia. Were she merely a lone voice in the wilderness, we might be able to dismiss this notion with facile casualness, but when one contemplates the works of the many theorists exploring and writing about such ideas - like Dr. John Lilly, Robert Anton Wilson, Michael Grosso, Fred Alan Wolf, Terrence McKenna and Dr. Kenneth Ring, to name a few - one is forced to conclude that we may well be on the threshold of a revolutionary understanding of how universal creation actually works. The only drawback to the book is that - though she does a pretty good job of walking the tight-rope between skepticism of and belief in the reports given to her by people who claim participation in these conspiracies - The Philadelphia Experiment, The Montauk Project and the Dulce Wars - the fact that she is published by Sky Books - which has a definite vested interest in pushing the idea that Montauk and The Philadelphia Experiment are total fact - restricts her objectivity somewhat, IMHO. In other words, she is forced to tilt a little to the "belief side" of the equation, although this may stem from her belief that something *real* did in fact happen to these people, even though she doesnt necessarily endorse their accounts and interpretations as some sort of absolute truth. And, it must be admitted, all published authors are affected by the realities of the publishing world in one way or another. All in all, an admirable debut - I look forward to her next book.

A good book....surprisingly,
By
This review is from: The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity (Paperback)
When I first picked this book up, I was under the impression that it would have a lot of the incredible claims that Peter Moon's Montauk series has. Instead, I found the book to be very well written and (surpisingly) researched. The book is not necessarily about the Philadelphia Experiment, but about a death attributed to a cover-up. Bruce writes well and manages to keep a story interesting. Her opinions are clearly kept separated from the facts. They are some sections that were written by Peter Moon that prove to be of interests as well. I also like they way he expressed the theories. I recommend this book for good reading.
