"LBJ "aims to prove that Vice President Johnson played an active
role in the assassination of President Kennedy and that he began
planning his takeover of the U.S. presidency even before being
named the vice presidential nominee in 1960. Lyndon B. Johnson's
flawed personality and character traits, formed as a child, grew
unchecked for the rest of his life as he suffered severe bouts of
manic-depressive illness. He successfully hid this disorder from
the public as he bartered, stole, and finessed his way through the
corridors of power on Capitol Hill, though it's recorded that some
of his aides knew of his struggle with bipolar disorder.
After years of researching Johnson and the JFK assassination,
Phillip F. Nelson conclusively shows that LBJ had an active role in
JFK's assassination, and he includes newly-uncovered photographic
evidence proving that Johnson knew when and where Kennedy's
assassination would take place. Nelson's careful and meticulous
research has led him to uncover secrets from one of the greatest
unsolved mysteries in our country's history.
How did a conspiracy theory reshape global politics? How did it
tear families apart, inspire an insurrection and convince millions
that a shadowy cabal was hellbent on eating children, and only
Donald Trump could stop them? On the 6th of January, 2021 thousands
of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol. Their
banners read, Trust the Plan, a reference to an alarming conspiracy
theory that had gained unstoppable momentum over the last four
years: these were followers of QAnon. Decoding online clues from a
mysterious figure - who has claimed to be a high-level government
insider - QAnon adherents believe that Donald Trump has been
anointed by God to stop a depraved deep state government, that
sexually abuse, kill, and eat children. But QAnon has also become a
broad church of out-there beliefs, offering a welcoming community
to anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, eugenicists and white nationalists.
With first hand access to the leading figures in the movement,
investigative journalist Will Sommer unpacks the bizarre story of
how a post from one of the darkest corners of the internet, became
a belief system for millions; how politicians cozied up to
extremists; how an unwavering trust in these ideas tore apart
families, caused a mafia boss's assassination, and threatened
democracy. Trust the Plan is a timely and essential look on how the
internet radicalised our politics, and how millions were convinced
to believe the unbelievable.
From uttering a prayer before boarding a plane, to exploring
past lives through hypnosis, has superstition become pervasive in
contemporary culture? Robert Park, the best-selling author of
"Voodoo Science," argues that it has. In "Superstition," Park asks
why people persist in superstitious convictions long after science
has shown them to be ill-founded. He takes on supernatural beliefs
from religion and the afterlife to New Age spiritualism and
faith-based medical claims. He examines recent controversies and
concludes that science is the only way we have of understanding the
world.
Park sides with the forces of reason in a world of continuing
and, he fears, increasing superstition. Chapter by chapter, he
explains how people too easily mistake pseudoscience for science.
He discusses parapsychology, homeopathy, and acupuncture; he
questions the existence of souls, the foundations of intelligent
design, and the power of prayer; he asks for evidence of
reincarnation and astral projections; and he challenges the idea of
heaven. Throughout, he demonstrates how people's blind faith, and
their confidence in suspect phenomena and remedies, are manipulated
for political ends. Park shows that science prevails when people
stop fooling themselves.
Compelling and precise, "Superstition" takes no hostages in its
quest to provoke. In shedding light on some very sensitive--and
Park would say scientifically dubious--issues, the book is sure to
spark discussion and controversy.
"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.

Thinkers at the forefront in alternative theories on history, the
origins of civilization, technology, and consciousness
- With contributions by Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, Mark Booth,
Richard Hoagland, Robert Schoch, John Anthony West, and others
- Topics range from quantum philosophy and paranormal phenomena to
the secret history of NASA, instant polar shifts, and ancient
Martian civilizations
- Explores where our present time fits into the cycle of human
existence
A revolution of thought is under way in our world, fostered by
decades of research and well-documented evidence by alternative
theory pioneers such as Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert
Bauval, and Robert Schoch. These provocative, cutting-edge scholars
now represent a direct challenge to the academic establishment as
the paradigms of science and history shift and their ideas gain
acceptance.
Representing the latest, often controversial findings in scientific
and historical research, this anthology of essays commissioned by
Graham Hancock, bestselling author of "Fingerprints of the Gods,"
covers the forefront in alternative theories on history, the
origins of civilization, technology, and consciousness with topics
ranging from quantum philosophy and paranormal phenomena to the
ancient use of electromagnetism, the effect of cosmic rays on human
evolution, and NASA's cover-up of ancient Martian civilizations.
Recognizing that many recent discoveries are actually rediscoveries
of lost knowledge from past civilizations, these authors seek to
understand where, within the bigger picture of human knowledge, our
present time fits into the cycle of human existence.
"This book names the most powerful forces in Europe which organized
the Fascist and Nazi parties and movement, the powerful American
forces which own, control and subsidize native Fascism, and the
spokesmen, radio orators, writers and other agents of reaction in
America." Facts and Fascism is the definitive account and source
book on Fascism in the United States after the First World War and
on into the Second. No doubt every subsequent work on this
explosive topic owes a great debt to this original research. By
crusading investigative journalist George Seldes, the book is in
three parts: 1) The Big Money and Big Profits in Fascism, 2) Native
Fascist Forces, and 3) Our Press as a Fascist Force. The first part
reveals the backing of U.S. and British big business behind the
rise of Fascism and militarism, with chapters on Germany, Italy,
Japan, and Spain, the Nazi cartels and the National Association of
Manufacturers. The author was a reporter in Italy in the early 20's
as Fascism got its start, and wrote a full-length, critical
portrait of Mussolini. In "Native Fascist Forces," Seldes first
tells the story of the botched putsch by J. P. Morgan and the
American Legion against FDR in 1934 - surely one of the most
hushed-up episodes in US history. Next Seldes dissects the Ford
empire's support for Nazism and its repressive, even murderous
labor practices, and Nazi apologists like Lindbergh, Father
Coughlin and the Reader's Digest. The third part explores and
deplores acts of treason by war-profiteering heavy industry and by
the major newspaper chains. He exposes their habit of faking news
for their political agenda, going back to the 1850's in support of
black slavery, and white servitude - that is, with attacks on labor
and social justice. The last chapter discusses profiteering from a
different form of slavery, the tobacco addiction. Among the
appendices is one on the definition of Fascism, and data on Who
Owns America - thirteen plutocratic families.
