Format: 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?

Entertaining? Quite. If you are at all a fan of the subject, you'll get a laugh or two. The book reads like a conspircy-minded website, not a whole lot of material to back up the various author's claims. When some soure material is mentioned, it's usally in the form of a single book, magazine, or article.
All in all, a fun read, but I have seen better from Keith.

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.

Format: Paperback
If you're tired of the popular, garden variety conspiracies involving UFOs or JFK, this is the book for you. If you think conspiracy theories are cheap entertainment provided by psychotics, this is also the book for you.
Articles that sound plausible enough to make you uneasy or downright paranoid cover many topics and make many assertions: that the deaths at Jonestown were the result of a CIA mind control experiment, that the Irish Republican Army has been consistently misrepresented in the media, that the legendary ANARCHIST COOKBOOK was a lethal exercise in government disinformation, and that US intelligence agencies have sought to develop "remote mind control technology".
Of course, plausibility is often in the eye of the beholder. To me the article written by a "survivor of electromagnetic terror" seems the work of a crazy man. Likewise, the man who thinks his father is a clone. (But crazy in a good, cranky sort of way.) Another essay seems the work of a clever psychotic who

Secret, suppressed...banned history - all ubiquitous tags designed to get quick hits by bloggers fishing for those online conspiracy researchers these days. However, this book predates our now efficient search engines to provide various leads into interesting and still-suppressed information.

I give this four stars due to gems like James Shelby Downard's ridiculous essay on sorcery and the JFK assassination (also titled "King Kill 33" in other publications), the articles on Jim Jones cult and Waco, as well as the writings on Silent Weapons and Vatican intrigue among others. There is some chaff here, but of course one man's chaff could be another's wheat on occasion. While this book was published in 1993, it wouldn't be until several years later that a large budget documentary was produced that reinforced some of the facts in the "Black Hole in Guyana" article. That picture was broadcast on HBO some years ago. Perhaps there will be a similar documentary on the Waco tragedy in the near future. Time will tell.

Out-of-print, but recommended.

To everyone who thinks the conspiracy craze began recently, buy this book, now. Several articles. Different voices, different points of view. Anyone who has the ability to question mainstream media and education system will find this book a worthwhile place to start. As for everyone else, who knows there is something else going down, I'm surprised you have not bought it yet.
