Puerile garbage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
This book contains inconsistent and self-contradictory rubbish. All of the author's bizarre theories are easily debunked, and she seems unaware of even the most basic physics (not to mention the evident mathematical failings of an alleged "computer professional"). Indeed, scientific principles are grossly misrepresented from start to finish, either from ignorance or by design.Her "facts" are also either incorrect or are interpreted in a facile and incompetent way. For instance, she asserts that the corals off Norway "prove" that it was recently in tropical zones. Actually, those corals (Lophelia) cannot survive in water warmer than 10 C or colder than 4 C, and are found below 200 metres depth off Norway, with some living colonies more than 7000 years old, and many older but deceased colonies at similar depths (they obtain nutrients in part from hydrocarbon seeps, which individually last only for centuries to millenia). They also occur in somewhat deeper waters in temperate zones, such as off Ireland. Lophelia even thrives in the tropics, but only at depths of 600-1400 metres, where the temperature range is suitable. So, rather than supporting her stupid theory about *physical* pole shifts or large crust movements every 3000 years, the distribution of these corals emphatically contradicts it. So does all the other evidence, but the author does not look for it or conveniently ignores or misrepresents it. Updated ravings and commercial pitches for her paraphernalia are available on the author's web site, which conveniently ignores the fact that her predictions in 1996-1997 were utterly false. She thought comet Hale-Bopp was a supernova, which NASA was covering up(?!?!), and that some planet-X brown dwarf would arrive in the Solar System in 1998. Due to its repeated non-arrival, her infallible projected arrival date has now been revised to May 2003, but it will be visible to the naked eye in late 2001 - no, no, mid 2002 with a big telescope - um, make that late 2002 with a long exposure CCD image using the big telescope. To support her fantasy and its repeated revisions, she has concocted the most amusingly absurd replacement theories for almost everything in human science. Of course, her theories are contradicted by even the simplest experiments and observations.

Zetatalk offers no facts,
By Jamie Innes (Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
Zetatalk, was when I first read it, the most frightening book I have ever read. The first 3/4 of the book deals with the topic of the Zeta Reticuli people, or a species of "little grey men" to most people.The latter 1/4 of the book deals with the prediction of a coming doomsday in may 2003. A pole shift which will cause natural disasters so immense that the world will be put back a hundred years. Needless to say, I was quite disturbed to read this. I immediately started researching the topic of the coming pole shift on the internet, emailed some top level scientists and UFOlogists asking thier opinion. For the purpose of relevance in reviewing this book, I cannot name them, but they are well respected, well known people. In addition to my own debunking and correlating the various viewpoints and mathematical hypothesis, I conclude that the claim of the pole shift, as outlined in the climax of this book, Zetatalk, is complete bunk. There are no facts to support that, or any of the other information in this book as being real. This is a book written by someone who claims to have been abducted by aliens. And she may well have been. I am actually an UFO enthusiast, but the mathematical claims that this book makes do not hold up... and there is no facts or proof whatsoever to substantiate any of the written material in this book. I conclude:

Hogwash,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
The book is nothing more than sensationalist garbage with the required date thrown in to boost book sales. How many people over the last 25 years have thrown out dates as the end day ? So many it boggles the mind to know that gullible people still buy and read, let alone recruit others to buy and read, total and complete junk food for the mind. I find these kind of books to be arrogant and indicative of wanna-be writers who have captive / gullible audience. Doomsday prophets are everywhere and they're want YOUR money.

Proto-Religion,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
Take this book, professed dictation of alien intelligence by a mere hominid, let it stew in hyperhype for generations and voila... new religion! Let's see... can anyone name a major world faith (or, gee, nearly all of 'em) centered on one person's claim to an intimate relationship with some creator deity?Stop kidding yourself. Remember Santa Claus? Same thing.

Are you a "Service to Others" type?,
By Lovey Smith "Personal Growth Junkie" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
As an environmental engineer, I find the Zetas' logic infallible and convincing. For instance - re:12/26/04, "What would cause a plate as large as the Indio/Australian plate to pop, springing from its lock of zagged rock all along its edges, miles deep and snagged in an infinite number of places, resisting any motion at all. What force would cause these rock fingers to rupture along a 600 mile length along Sumatra? ... Planet X." Who else has also explained in great detail many mysteries, such as the cause of solar systems' planetary alignments, crop circle meanings, etc?
So, if you check with your intuition - you may deduce that the majority of the 1 and 2 star Amazon reviews of this book were written by "a customer", i.e. paid shills in the "service to self" camp, who do not want us to find out the truth of Planet X and about our many evolved friends from Sirius, Pleiades, Zeta Reticuli, etc. Re: May 2003. Planet X was inbound at the time and was close enough to cause the Indonesian tsunami quake. Planet X is now outbound from the sun and will cause much more damage as it passes very close to earth in 2011. Decide for yourself, at zetatalk.com. Are you prepared, even for earthquakes or tornadoes? I hope so.

Classic Pseudoscience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
This is classic pseudoscience -- representing either the delusions of the author or (which happens in many such cases) a way for a clever author to rip off as many readers as possible. It is too bad that there is a market for this sort of fiction presented as if it were factual.

BEWARE people of the Zetas,
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
This group (the zeta greys) is responsible for the many unwanted and uncomfortable abductions that we hear so much about. They are in direct confrontation with the Guardian Alliance of the Elohim, Arcturians, Pleiadians, and other beneficent entities devoted to helping mankind usher in the New Age. It is true there will be much upheaval and chaos but the Zetas want to capitalize on your fear (and our governments) to ultimately use it to destroy us. If this material doesn't resonate (truly feel right) with you then try Barbara Marciniak's series of teachings from the Pleiadians and Patricia Pereira's Arcturian Star Chronicles. Then once you have a solid understanding of what's going on, move on to Operation Terra I & II and Ashayana Deane's Voyagers I & II. These last 4 books will open your eyes like nothing else about what is in store for the human race in the next few years. Namaste!

I Wanted To Believe,
By Richard T. Fitzgerald (Santa Rosa, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
I wanted to believe but, based on what (I think) I already know, this didn't resonate for me.

Unbelievable for totally different reasons,
By Cabir Marc Davis (Amazon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zeta Talk: Direct Answers from the Zeta Reticuli People (Paperback)
Alright, its August 2003. This book is entirely based upon the assumption that in May 2003, there will be a pole shift on Earth that destabilizes the entire globe resulting in continents being moved all over the oceans, with massive lost to human life in the tens of millions. Obviously this hasn't happened yet, even though the recent war in Iraq was undoubtedly a bigoted conspiracy that also resulted in the loss of human life. Either way, this book is no longer relevant because its basis has now conclusively been proven as non-existent.This book is a 'guide to human life', written by a human who is supposedly channelling words and thoughts from alien beings in the Zeta Reticuli spectrum. A fascinating idea to begin with, but its tone is consistent throughout the numerous chapters in this book. We are introduced to how the human race actually began, and also prophecies for the future. The entire concept fascinated me as I'd always wanted to explore the supernatural as it were, plus I'm convinced I've seen UFOs in the sky when I was a child. Considering I haven't seen them in the last fifteen years should tell me something, but I was willing to side with the unknown for once, which is why I picked this book up at full retail from the UFO research center in Roswell, New Mexico (how appropriate!) Either the author of this book needs therapy, or shes partially telling us a little of what is really going on. That was the impression I got when I started reading it as the first few chapters are just so engrossing and involving. The main achievement here is the way the book is written. There is no hypothesis or guesswork here; everything is stated as if it were fact. This approach by the author leads to the entire book feeling like a Bible for the paranormally uninitiated, which is why the word 'hoax' has been thrown around so loosely regarding this enterprise. To be fair, if Nancy is indeed in contact with these aliens from Zeta Reticuli, then they do provide us with some interesting snippets of advice. But about a third through the book, the aliens start speaking to us as some sort of benevolent mother figure telling us to drink our orange juice and make our beds. This shift in tone was highly unsettling and even comical to me, especially considering the effort the author had put into the first few chapters to sound 'real'. In any case, her ideas on race and human evolution are simply astonishing as she debunks all popular theory in favor of her 'alien-hybrid' checklist. This makes for very interesting reading, but in the end its no different from the other thousands of books sitting out there. I particularly took offense to some of the wishy-washy conspiracy theories that the author throws around. Her staunch belief that JFK was killed because he was about to tell the public the truth about Roswell, is ludicrous. Her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe as some sort of immoral manhunter is not appropriate considering the content of this book, and her belief that Marilyn was 'killed off because of her big mouth' is just shocking. When a book states that Marilyn Monroe was assassinated because she had begun blabbing to her new male friends about the secret existence of aliens in government labs, you just cannot take it seriously anymore. Whats more, the author goes on to say that JFK Jr and Carolyn Bissette's plane crash was also orchestrated by the same people who took 'care' of his father, presumably because JFK Jr was about to tell the public about the existence of these aliens as well. Unbelievable. This is a total waste of money if you're interested in fact. But if you're interested in a good fictional read, I'd really recommend it. The author is undoubtedly schizophrenic and bipolar - she is at once well written and prosaic, and at the next moment unintelligible and nonsensical. This is the about the only 'pole shift' that is visible here. |
