Soon after 9/11, wild rumors began to spread: that Arab-Americans
were celebrating publicly, that some people had been warned, that
politicians knew all along.
The Global Grapevine reveals how--through our everyday thoughts and
conversations, and the rumors we spread--we grapple with the new
global world. Drawn from diverse sources, the book illuminates
urban legends like the claim that a certain t-shirt with a Chinese
pictogram brands the wearer as a prostitute, conspiracy theories
such as the "9/11 Truth Movement," or stories of tourists infected
with AIDS by locals. These rumors, the authors argue, reflect our
anxieties and fears about contact with foreign cultures--how we
believe foreign competition to be poisoning the domestic economy
and foreign immigration to be eroding American values. Focusing on
the threat posed by terrorism, the impact of immigration, the risks
involved in international trade, and the dangers faced by naive
tourism, the book provides a broad survey of the most widely
circulated rumors and examines what these tales reveal about
contemporary society.
New York Times Bestseller! Let Governor Jesse Ventura take you
through the paperwork that the US government tried to keep secret
from the world-JFK and Vietnam, chemical and biological warfare,
Gulf War illness, warnings about 9/11, and more! The official spin
on numerous government programs is flat-out bullsh*t, according to
Jesse Ventura. In this incredible collection of actual government
documents, Jesse Ventura, the ultimate non-partisan truth-seeker,
proves it beyond any doubt. He and Dick Russell walk readers
through sixty-three of the most incriminating programs to reveal
what really happens behind the closed doors. Witness as he breaks
open the vault, revealing the truth: The CIA's top-secret program
to control human behavior Operation Northwoods-the military plan to
hijack airplanes and blame it on Cuban terrorists Potentially
deadly healthcare cover-ups, including a dengue fever outbreak What
the Department of Defense knows about our food supply-but is
keeping mum Homeland Security's "emergency" detention camps Fake
terrorist attacks planned by the United States Although these
documents are now in the public domain, the powers that be would
just as soon they stay under wraps. Ventura's research and
commentary sheds new light on what they're not telling you-and why
it matters.
David Icke has been writing books for decades warning that current events were coming. He has faced ridicule and abuse for saying that the end of human freedom was being planned, how, and by whom.
David Icke’s The Biggest Secret, first published in 1998, has been called the "Rosetta Stone" of the conspiracy movement for the way it exposes how the pieces fit and the nature of the force behind human control.
The Trap is the "Rosetta Stone" of illusory reality and opens the door to freedom in its greatest sense.
Read this book and the "world" will never look the same again. The veil of illusion shall be swept aside and the amazing truth this has kept from us shall set you free.
Journalist Allum Bokhari has spent four years investigating the
tech giants that dominate the Internet: Google, Facebook, YouTube,
Twitter. He has discovered a dark plot to seize control of the flow
of information, and utilize that power to its full extent-to
censor, manipulate, and ultimately sway the outcome of democratic
elections. His network of whistleblowers inside Google, Facebook
and other companies explain how the tech giants now see themselves
as "good censors," benevolent commissars controlling the
information we receive to "protect" us from "dangerous" speech.
They reveal secret methods to covertly manipulate online
information without us ever being aware of it, explaining how tech
companies can use big data to target undecided voters. They lift
the lid on a plot four years in the making-a plot to use the power
of technology to stop Donald Trump's re-election.
After in-depth research of the circumstances of that fateful night,
investigative writer and former journalist Noel Botham finally
reveals what he alleges to be the truth - Princess Diana fell
victim to a ruthlessly executed assassination. Twenty years later,
the tragedy still shapes Britain as we know it today. How could the
Establishment betray the trust of a whole nation? How was the
killing executed? Was there really another car in the tunnel at the
time of the crash? Reporting from the innermost sanctums of British
intelligence and royalty, Botham reveals shocking answers to what
he claims is one of the UK's most successfully kept secrets. As
Botham affirms, The Murder of Princess Diana firmly lays to rest
the outdated theory that Diana's death was a mere accident, and
finally gives the people of Britain the explanation they deserve.
Modern Conspiracy attempts to sketch a new conception of conspiracy
theory. Where many commentators have sought to characterize
conspiracy theory in terms of the collapse of objectivity and
Enlightenment reason, Fleming and Jane trace the important role of
conspiracy in the formation of the modern world: the scientific
revolution, social contract theory, political sovereignty,
religious paranoia and mass communication media. Rather than see in
conspiratorial thinking the imminent death of Enlightenment reason,
and a regression to a new Dark Age, Modern Conspiracy contends that
many characteristic features of conspiracies tap very deeply into
the history of the Enlightenment itself: among other things, its
vociferous critique of established authorities, and a conception of
political sovereignty fuelled by fear of counter-plots. Drawing out
the roots of modern conspiratorial thinking leads us to truths less
salacious and scandalous than the claims of conspiracy theorists
themselves yet ultimately far more salutary: about mass
communication; about individual and crowd psychology; and about our
conception of and relation to knowledge.Perhaps, ultimately, what
conspiracy theory affords us is a renewed opportunity to reflect on
our very relationship to the truth itself.
Mind Synergy is about you. It is about how you lost your mind and
how with my help you're going to get it back. If you think I am
talking science fiction. Fine, but first ask yourself this; "Why do
I always doubt myself?" "Why am I stressed out?" "Why don't I have
the confidence to realise my goals?" And "Why oh why am I not happy
or at least happier?" Believe it or not your mind has the same
anatomy as Einstein or any other genius for that matter, the only
difference between you and them is that they found the way to use
their mind effectively and efficiently. Mind synergy shows you how
to silence the negative voices and how to get your mind to work in
sync with you and for you. What would your life be like if you
could use your mind to its full genius potential and you were
confident and happy? The answer is inside...
