5.0 out of 5 stars My only question: how did he get it published?, July 24, 2002

By	Tim Johnson (Fremantle, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Paperback)

I confess immediately to being a conspiracy believer: whenever people say I'm mad for believing the strange theories that people present, I always am reminded of the old saying, "Where there's smoke there's fire" and the ski's full of billowing smoke after reading Eisen's book!
Suppressed Inventions is one of those books that you can easily read and put down and then go back to weeks later because each chapter can be read alone-it is only the totality of all that he writes that leaves you looking for a very stiff drink after you finally put his book down.
I do not have a scientific mind and found the going in several of his chapters reasonably hard; however, this comment is in no way meant to steer any prospective readers away from this extraordinarily rich mine of very necessary material for anybody who would like to keep their fingure on the pulse of the new millennium.
Of the many lights that Eisen has switched on in this remarkable book perhaps the most astounding is chapter 27-"Did NASA Sabotage Its Own Space Capsule?" Aftert reading it I admit to being skeptical-I mean to believe that Grissom, White and Chaffee were murdered by NASA meant that there was no moon landing and that the whole Appollo 11 thing was staged on a secret base in Nevada-whoa!
I was skeptical until two weeks ago when I watched a prime-time TV doco about the theory held by many people that the moon landings were phoney. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that just because the US government says the whole theory is laughable doesn't meam that it's laughable.
My sggestion-buy the book and draw your own conclusions. Even if you think it's all rubbish then at the very least you are left with a compendium of many of the current theories about the truth of what we're allowed to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy theories or not?, August 12, 2005

By	L. Thompson (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Paperback)

After having done my own research in many of these topics, I was surprised to run across this book which lists so many in one place, plus many others I was not aware of. Excellent research material and many footnotes and references provided to continue researching these topics. When you look at the reasons behind agendas, these conspiracy theories shed light on the why's. Very interesting about the Smithsonian. Anyone who has looked into politics will understand why these subjects should be looked into, rather than just swallow what the media tells us. There are sheep and there are wolves, many people prefer to be sheep and live life with eyes closed. It's more comfortable that way. Eisen shows us things, with doing our own research, that others don't want to see. Excellent book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Case, July 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Paperback)

Jonathan Eisen makes a convincing case that cures for cancer and alternative energy devices are being suppressed. I had professors in engineering college tell stories of people who had been killed for creating super efficient carburetors or former students who had been paid off to stop producing solar energy devices. Well Eisen has put a bunch of these stories together. He even has a whole chapter on alternative carburetors. What I like about the book is that he gives lots of foot notes and references including patents. I don't believe everything he says but with the references I am free to check his sources my self. I think the people on Mars and the moon landing being faked are a little far fetched but he does construct a convincing argument.
