Lost Knowledge of the Ancients (13,000 copies sold)As we pull back
the curtain from the European version of history, we discover the
vast depth of knowledge of our ancient ancestors - knowledge that,
not only dispels our image of them as primitive peoples, but, also,
corresponds with the forefront of modern science, philosophy and
spirituality.With contributions by David Frawley, Daniel Pinchbeck,
Jonathan Talat Phillips and other provocative, cutting-edge
thinkers, this collection of essays commissioned by Graham Hancock,
bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods, represents the
latest, often controversial findings in alternative science,
history, archaeology and consciousness research. Covering topics
ranging from the origins of the Inca and the secrets hidden in
Vedic literature, to the architecture of the Giza pyramids and the
Sphinx, to unified theories of physics and consciousness, this book
shows how, by recovering our lost history, we too can experience
the higher consciousness and advanced wisdom of the ancients.
A stirring work that offers a chilling glimpse into the negligence,
greed, murder, and, at times, comical disorganization behind some
of the CIA's most controversial secret operations, this book
collects the first five issues of the zine. Summarizing the
influence the CIA had in the assassination of Martin Luther King
Jr.; the AIDS virus; the killing of Filiberto Ojeda Rios, a Puerto
Rican independence movement leader; the Patriot Act; and the
Iran-Contra affair, this forthright representation provides an
behind the scenes look at the United States' foreign and domestic
policies. The radical claims presented are built on fact and posit
an accessible alternative to mainstream histories that help to
contextualize current events and the worldwide anti-American
backlash.
This disturbing expose describes a secret alliance forged at the
close of World War II by the CIA, the Sicilian and US mafias, and
the Vatican to thwart the possibility of a Communist invasion of
Europe. Journalist Paul L. Williams presents evidence suggesting
the existence of "stay-behind" units in many European countries
consisting of five thousand to fifteen thousand military
operatives. According to the author's research, the initial funding
for these guerilla armies came from the sale of large stocks of SS
morphine that had been smuggled out of Germany and Italy and of
bogus British bank notes that had been produced in concentration
camps by skilled counterfeiters. As the Cold War intensified, the
units were used not only to ward off possible invaders, but also to
thwart the rise of left-wing movements in South America and
NATO-based countries by terror attacks. Williams argues that
Operation Gladio soon gave rise to the toppling of governments,
wholesale genocide, the formation of death squads, financial
scandals on a grand scale, the creation of the mujahideen, an
international narcotics network, and, most recently, the ascendancy
of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit cleric with strong ties to
Operation Condor (an outgrowth of Gladio in Argentina) as Pope
Francis I. Sure to be controversial, Operation Gladio connects the
dots in ways the mainstream media often overlooks.
Enter a hidden world of mysteries, scandals, secrets, and lies
Perhaps it is human nature to believe there is more to the world
than meets the eye - that the greatest secrets and truths are
hidden from us. Whatever the reason, conspiracy theories are a
global phenomenon. Conspiracies Uncovered delves into some of the
most pervasive theories, from the "The assassination of John F.
Kennedy" to the moon landings, showcasing the evidence for and
against each one, revealing the surprising truths behind some and
the bizarre inspirations for others.
The "Canadian Oxford Dictionary" defines hoax as a "humorous or
malicious deception," and hex as "a magic spell." In "Hoaxes and
Hexes," Barbara Smith explores these intriguing reflections of
human nature, showing our curious desire to believe in the
impossible and explain the inexplicable. Here are tales of
swindlers, charlatans and imposters, among them the flamboyant
19th-century financier known as Lord Gordon-Gordon; David Walsh,
author of the horrendous Bre-X gold-mine hoax of the 1990s; and the
eccentric Josef Papp, who claimed to have crossed the Atlantic in a
homemade submarine. The persistent power of hexes is recorded in
stories of cursed places-including a strange haunting in the
Cypress Hills and a deadly Lake Superior lighthouse-and weird
coincidences, such as the legendary Hollywood hex on Oscar-winning
actresses. Whether you believe in the power of hoaxes or hexes,
these bizarre stories show them to be a fascinating part of our
history.
Ever since the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman
assassinated President John F. Kennedy, people who doubt that
finding have been widely dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite
credible evidence that right-wing elements in the CIA, FBI, and
Secret Service-and possibly even senior government officials-were
also involved. Why has suspicion of criminal wrongdoing at the
highest levels of government been rejected out-of-hand as paranoid
thinking akin to superstition? Conspiracy Theory in America
investigates how the Founders' hard-nosed realism about the
likelihood of elite political misconduct-articulated in the
Declaration of Independence-has been replaced by today's blanket
condemnation of conspiracy beliefs as ludicrous by definition.
Lance deHaven-Smith reveals that the term "conspiracy theory"
entered the American lexicon of political speech to deflect
criticism of the Warren Commission and traces it back to a CIA
propaganda campaign to discredit doubters of the commission's
report. He asks tough questions and connects the dots among five
decades' worth of suspicious events, including the assassinations
of John and Robert Kennedy, the attempted assassinations of George
Wallace and Ronald Reagan, the crimes of Watergate, the Iran-Contra
arms-for-hostages deal, the disputed presidential elections of 2000
and 2004, the major defense failure of 9/11, and the subsequent
anthrax letter attacks. Sure to spark intense debate about the
truthfulness and trustworthiness of our government, Conspiracy
Theory in America offers a powerful reminder that a suspicious,
even radically suspicious, attitude toward government is crucial to
maintaining our democracy.
Beginning with the infamous 1943 Philadelphia Experiment in radar
invisibility, the path leads to modern-day scraps of evidence left
at a desolate Air Force Station at the eastern tip of Long Island
-- scraps of mind-control experiments and other questionable
activities that were undertaken even after the base had officially
ceased to function. Connections emerge that weave an incredible
tapestry ending with the author's personal involvement in a way
which could never have been imagined.
Authors Jim and Barbara Willis mine the religious and secular
divide as they examine the history of apocalyptic beliefs in
Armageddon Now. The authors explain the various omens and
prophecies as well as the actual events that may trigger the end,
such as collisions with asteroids, nuclear war, the oil crisis,
global warming, and famine. From alpha to omega, it is packed with
200 entries and 100 illustrations. In the end, the end has never
been so thoroughly covered as in Armageddon Now: The End of the
World A to Z. It's the last word for the end user.

"Final Warning" is the definitive resource on the nature and
origins of the movement towards a one-world government. A wealth of
in-depth research explains the roles of the major arms of the
conspiracy today, such as the Federal Reserve, the Committee on
Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission and the
Bilderbergers. The history of the New World Order is traced, from
the Illuminati and the fomenting of the French Revolution, to the
1913 takeover of the US government by the bankers, the world wars,
the rise of communism and the United Nations.
