From the food we eat, the water we drink to the air we breathe,
everything these days seems capable of killing us. Recently we have
seen an unprecedented number of deaths due to medications for
diseases that may not even exist, obscure cancers caused by our
modern devices, and brutal police tactics. All a coincidence? Think
again. In Population Control, acclaimed journalist Jim Marrs lays
out a stunning case for his most audacious conspiracy yet: the
scheme concocted by a handful of global elites to reduce the
world's population to 500 million by whatever means necessary and
make a profit from it. Marrs, the bestselling author of Rule by
Secrecy and The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy, pulls no punches in
exposing this evil and chillingly effective plan. He explains how a
small group of tremendously wealthy and powerful people control
virtually every important industry - guns, oil, pharmaceuticals,
food, and of course the media - and how it uses this vast network
of conglomerates to take actions that lead to the deaths of men and
women all over the world. In the explosive Population Control,
Marrs lays bare the damning truths corporate owners don't want you
to discover: how they've spied on private citizens, intentionally
spread disease, and destroyed the planet chasing profits, all to
improve the lives of a privileged few while eliminating everyone
else. Finally, he offers a citizen's blueprint for fighting back.
The evidence in this book may not ultimately give you the "smoking
gun" you are looking for on your journey, but I guarantee it will
give you a box of bullets when you find it. In 1996, John
Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the
U.S. Government at the age of fifteen. He targeted such agencies as
the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and
countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of
documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the
JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and
top secret aircraft. He took the millions of pages, and over the
course of more than two decades, has built an archive known around
the world, as The Black Vault. Inside The Black Vault: The
Government's UFO Secrets Revealed takes you on a journey within the
secret world of unidentified aerial phenomenon that has plagued the
military since at least the 1940s. Declassified records prove that
the UFO topic is one of the most highly classified and most elusive
subjects the U.S. Government has ever dealt with. Each chapter
explores various agencies and their documents, and Greenewald
breaks down the meaning of why some of the most important documents
are relevant to proving a massive cover-up. Along with declassified
documents, Greenewald outlines the struggle it took him to get
them. No other topic has proven so difficult, in more than 8,000
FOIA requests that he has filed. He explores why that might be and
meets skeptics and debunkers head on, outlining why some of their
more prominent rebuttals for it all cannot be true.
The Resonance of Unseen Things offers an ethnographic meditation on
the "uncanny" persistence and cultural freight of conspiracy
theory. The project is a reading of conspiracy theory as an index
of a certain strain of late 20th-century American despondency and
malaise, especially as understood by people experiencing downward
social mobility. Written by a cultural anthropologist with a
literary background, this deeply interdisciplinary book focuses on
the enduring American preoccupation with captivity in a rapidly
transforming world. Captivity is a trope that appears in both
ordinary and fantastic iterations here, and Susan Lepselter shows
how multiple troubled histories-of race, class, gender, and
power-become compressed into stories of uncanny memory.
From mysterious strangers and unpredictable beings to weird
behaviour and paranormal phenomena, the investigative team of Brad
and Sherry Steiger explores more than 130 claims of visits from the
unexplained, including ghosts, phantoms, aliens and otherworldly
beings. The book covers accounts of the supernatural from
throughout the ages, and the breadth of the duo's findings and
encounters will have even nonbelievers intrigued to discover what
bold claim is next.
Allegations of Russian conspiracies meddling in the affairs of
Western countries have been a persistent feature of Western
politics since the Cold War - allegations of Russian interference
in the US presidential election are only the most recent in a long
series of conspiracy allegations that mark the history of the
twentieth century. But Russian politics is rife with conspiracies
about the West too. Everything bad that happens in Russia is traced
back by some to an anti-Russian plot that is hatched in the West.
Even the collapse of the Soviet Union - this crucial turning point
in world politics that left the USA as the only remaining
superpower - was, according to some Russian conspiracy theorists,
planned and executed by Russia's enemies in the West. This book is
the first-ever study of Russian conspiracy theories in the
post-Soviet period. It examines why these conspiracy theories have
emerged and gained currency in Russia and what role intellectuals
have played in this process. The book shows how, in the new
millennium, the image of the 'dangerous, conspiring West' provides
national unity and has helped legitimize Russia's rapid turn to
authoritarianism under Vladimir Putin.
An old enemy, a new threat, and a secret that could tear the world

espionage and danger, lurking deep within the shadows of political
power. Ethan will discover things about himself he could never have
suspected, come face-to-face with a terrifying foe, and uncover an
unthinkable truth that could not only shatter his own future but
that of the world... The enigma that is Project Icarus. A totally
gripping conspiracy thriller with a twist you will never see

Hamdy.

"Like all the best meetings of Jewish minds, this book will make
you think, argue and see the world anew." Hadley Freeman, author of
House of Glass Conspiracy theories about Jews are back in the
mainstream. The Pittsburgh gunman who murdered 11 people in a
synagogue claimed that 'filthy evil' Jews were bringing 'filthy
evil' Muslims into America. The billionaire philanthropist George
Soros has been accused of supporting 'white genocide'. Labour Party
members have claimed that Israel is behind ISIS. The belief that
Jews are plotting against society never dies, it just adapts to
suit the times: from medieval accusations that Jews murder
Christians for their blood to claims that Zionists are seeking to
control the world. In eight short essays, edited by Jo Glanville,
this book goes back to the source of the conspiracy theories and
traces their journey into the 21st century in a bid to make sense
of their survival. With contributions from some of the great Jewish
writers and thinkers of our time, including Tom Segev, Jill Jacobs
and Mikhail Grynberg, this is a fresh take on the roots of
antisemitism that explores how an irrational belief can still
flourish in a supposedly rational age.
