Book Reviews of Conspiracies and Secret Societies
Book Review: One of the most fun books you'll ever pick up!
Summary: 5 Stars
* You are only paranoid if they aren't out to get you.*
-Anonomous
Brad and Sherry have hit one out of the ball park with this one! This book is so devilishly fun to flip through, it's hard to put down (since receiving it Wednesday, I've spent the past few days with little sleep).
No matter if you are a serious researcher or just like conspiracies for the fun of it, this book is an essential for your collection. It does not matter on which side of the political fence you reside; this book goes directly down the center of the fence, displaying both democratic and republican based conspiracies. This book portrays each entry in an entirely fair matter, basing each entry on the given facts, and never without injected personal commentary favorable to either side. Listings include the Aids virus, Men in Black, a plethera of secret societies, alien abductions, the Bush family connections, the Clinton administration's body count, Iran / Contra, the Thule Society, Freemasonry, Waco, The Oklahoma City bombings, Osama Bin Ladin, FBI, CIA, the face on Mars, Moon bases, Alternitive 3, Military experaments, researchers who have died of mysterious cercomstances, Hanger 18, Neo-Nazies, the KKK,HAARP, just to cover a pitifull few. More information than a sane "sheeple" would ever want to know!
The only thing you might find negitive is that Brad began with an index of over 350 entries, however, due to time constraints, had to narrow down to the current 250 or so entries...which is enough to keep you buisy for more hours than you may care to spend (but fun hours at that). You will find most of the biggest conspiracy theories of not only this century, but throughout written history. If you are an expert, you may find a favorite or two left out.
Personally, there are a few conspiracies I take seriously, the rest of this topic I love just for the reason of getting a grasp of our nation's overall psycology at any given time. The majority of the boom began in the late '50's and early '60; Presidential assasinations, political scandles etc. lead to the nation's general mistrust of the government, and since then, the number of conspiracies have boomed. There is a good amount of truth in every listing, but what you may appreciate the most is that Brad and Sherry's writing style of this encyclopedia leaves it up entirely to the reader weather or not you wish to believe in any given entry. Each entry also lists a biblyography and resources, so any topic in which you become interested, you have a basis to begin further reading / research. Some of the darker entries even list the supposed body counts by name and circumstance of death.
No matter weather you are a believer or just like this topic for fun, I guarentee this is going to be one of the most fun reads you are going to have for some time. Just don't be surprised if you come out of this a bit more paranoid than you went in, but then again, "they" really may be out to get you!
