Book Reviews of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group
Book Review: Great Information, needs work on delivery.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has important information the author worked hard to uncover. For that reason I give it a 3 instead of 1 star. Why I considered giving it a 1 star is because it contains sentences such as "wiggly bottom teenager in school outfit sucking noisily on a milkshake" - worthless trash that adds nothing to the content of the book. I urge the writer to omit the unneccesary and tasteless.Book Review: The "Unsubstantiated" Story of the Bilderberg Group
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my first book on New world order or Bilderbergers, so understand that my opinion is from someone who's mind is fresh on the subject in light of what this book attempts to present. I understand there are very influential and powerful individuals associated with this group. And yes they meet under total secrecy, maybe for the reasons they themselves state - to be able to discuss ideas freely without scrutinization of the public and press. But I felt like the author jumped in to fantastic stories of missing elevators, James Bond meetings and then crazy allegations of major world events in chapter four with zero substantiation that these events are connected to this group. Other than the connection of certain individuals attending meetings and then a coincidence that something happened afterward. I call it a coincidence because the author fails to substantiate any factual connection. It came across as paranoid fiction. There has to be something a little more solid then what Estulin is presenting - unsubstantiated stories and mostly quotes from other's books. This book is almost like religion for atheists - something bigger than you and I is controlling the world. I acknowledge every recent president has been associated with this group. I know Kissinger is slime. I acknowledge that certain obscure individuals were propelled to positions of power - Clinton, Edwards and Obama for example. I am not debating something big may be going on with the Bilderbergers. I am squarely saying though, this book fails big time to make any factual connections. Anytime a book has numerous sources that are not able to be documented - well isn't that just convenient. The documents and "evidence" at the end of the book just proves certain people attended meetings and that the meetings actually took place. It's doesn't reveal any links or solid evidence that this group is bent on world domination and destruction of individuals nations. I'll continue to look into this as the book makes some big allegations on some very interesting events such as Watergate being a setup for Nixon's loathed economic policies by Rockefeller. I went out and purchased The Rockefeller File By Allen as a result of this book.Book Review: DISAPPOINTED!
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this book because I counted on the experience that the author had about this group and wanted to know more about the Bilderberg Group. Well when I got the book I started noticing right off the bat that much of what he was saying I already knew. I can't believe the years of experience he had and yet not once did he shock me. Much of what I knew about the Bilderberg Group I found either on the Internet or just by reading other books on the topic. The author wasted many pages in the book on his photos that are meaningless. I mean I don't need him to show pictures of each person who attended the meetings. I thought he had some secret eyewitness hidden somewhere that was giving him first hand information. I thought he was going to really expose what was going on in these meetings but he did not. I thought he had gotten secret papers from someone who attended the meetings but he also had not. All through the book he makes "conclusions" but nothing factual. If someone is going to spend 15 years studying one secret society, I am expecting them to come up with a bomb shell of news. Although this book maybe good for people who knows absolutely nothing about the Bilderberg Group, I do not recommend this book to anyone who know even a little about this group because it is far from being helpful. You have better luck surfing the Internet or buying other books that talk about secret societies in general. In fact, you'll save money if you buy a book that talks about other secret society groups then to just buy this book and be disappointed that you could have paid just the same and get more information on other groups as well.Book Review: Wow, this is terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not a person who walks out of movies they do not enjoy. Likewise I do not stop reading a book I find disappointing. That being said I must admit I could not work my way through this little piece of literary disaster.
If you want to disregard this warning, I will give you more munitions to do so before going on to explain its wild inadequacies. I did not finish the book. I am inherently critical of conspiracy theories until I feel they are more fact than hearsay. I'm a little bit of a snob.
I decided to entertain this book with a particularly open mind. After a chapter of force feeding myself writing so sensationalist - yet home how inexplicably boring - it boggles the mind. I just couldn't force myself to believe. If I was going to continue this farce of a book I would have to assume it was in fact, a total farce.
As a note here I must add, I am open to the possibility of the Bilderberg Group and to some degree its reach. I however, can not believe the writer's personal experience was as he writes it.
Carrying on with the newly enforced assertion that it was all fiction I attempted to salvage the rest of my morning and a general feeling of trust for the intelligence and taste of humanity considering the glowing book reviews.
It went something like this: I push through the mud of self congratulations and sensationalist dribble. My mind wanders to the laundry. No, back to the book! Blah blah blah maybe I should finish those illustrations before I spend my entire advance and... Wait no! I read one and a half pages and I have no distinct recollection of what they were about.
Worst of all, after those moments I had to reread the crap a second - at one point third - time.
What I took away from this is a general confusion regarding the quality of writing considered printable and a feeling of worry that people are paranoid enough (perhaps rightfully so) that they are willing to wash down this swill - in a hope to know more about how they're getting screwed.
Book Review: A boring series of grandiose conspiracy theories
Summary: 1 Stars
I know a few people who talk about the Bilderberg secret society as if you're crazy not to believe in it. Like the people who have made political correctness, racism, and global warming into dogmatic religions, the adherents of Bilderberg conspiracies are rabidly defensive of their belief (assurance) that this is a group of diabolical men trying to bring about a new world order.
I don't think Darth Vader, Hitler, Dr. Evil, Goldfinger, Moriarty, Attila the Hun and Satan himself, working together, could achieve half the things this author claims the Bilderbergers have done.
I'm not saying these people are definitely not up to anything, but this is purely rabid fabulation, and we are asked to believe it without a single source citation (how convenient that this topic can only be discussed by individuals whose identities must remain classified). Henry Kissinger and a bunch of royals and businessmen have been responsible for every election, coup, assassination and case of diarrhea since the 1950s?
I found the unbelievability too much to stomach, and I could do no more than skim the book after page 50. This kind of theory has been circulated since the Middle Ages, when the so-called Illuminati were believed to be running the world. Then there were the Learned Elders of Zion, a Jewish society who were dominating the universe shortly after that. This is merely the latest one. Personally, I don't think humanity has enough brains or resources to gather up this much power and resolve.
The sad thing is that hundreds who read this review are going to accuse me of being a Bilderberg denier, part of the cover up. Make your own decision, read it, for gosh sake, it's cheap enough used.
I'll just ask Henry, Barack, Gordon, Jintao and Benedict XVI to approve this first.
