A compelling look at the misuse of power, lies, corruptions and
cover-upsFake news, alternative facts, outright lies, fears of
nuclear war, widespread surveillance of the population, mass
shootings, the rise of a totalitarian state and more have led
millions of us to distrust the word of government. And with good
reason, too. There are countless conspiracy theories in circulation
that suggest the world as we see it is not as it really is.
Disinformation campaigns try to tell us that up is down and right
is wrong. More and more people are beginning to realize that we are
being manipulated and lied to. We are denied access to secrets that
shouldn't be secrets. Our politicians obfuscate, deny, and outright
lie. No one knows whom to trust. The nightly news is being replaced
by carefully orchestrated propaganda. Our iPhones are monitored as
are our laptops and our landlines. As for social media, that too is
ripe for spying by men in black suits. No wonder, then, that the
last few years have seen an incredible rise in conspiracy theories
about deceptions and cover-ups. They range from the controversial
to the shocking and from the nightmarish to the downright
terrifying. And you can find all of them in the pages of Cover-Ups
& Secrets: The Complete Guide to Government Conspiracies,
Manipulations & Deceptions. From the dark agendas to restrict
our access to the Internet and even ban books to suppressing cancer
cures to ensure the pharmaceutical industry continues to reap
gigantic profits and the murder of politicians, scientists, world
leaders, and even Princess Diana in the name of national security.
Cover-Ups & Secrets reveals dozens of nefarious conspiracies,
plots, hidden agendas, and betrayals, including ... Amazon's Alexa,
the secret spy in the home NASA misdirections The classified
Pentagon program on alien life Clandestine plans for nuclear and
bacteriological warfare NSA's penetration of cell-phones, email,
Facebook, Twitter, and Skype messages Suspicious deaths The
Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, and the Bohemian Club Secrets of the
Philadelphia Experiment Reptilian Aliens and the British Royal
Family The Patriot Act and the government's monitoring of reading

The study reported in this volume grew out of some theoretical
work, one phase of which bore specifically on the behavior of
individuals in social movements that made specific (and
unfulfilled) prophecies. We had been forced to depend chiefly on
historical records to judge the adequacy of our theoretical ideas
until we by chance discovered the social movement that we report in
this book. At the time we learned of it, the movement was in
mid-career but the prophecy about which it was centered had not yet
been disconfirmed. We were understandably eager to undertake a
study that could test our theoretical ideas under natural
conditions. That we were able to do this study was in great measure
due to the support obtained through the Laboratory for Research in
Social Relations of the University of Minnesota. This study is a
project of the Laboratory and was carried out while we were all
members of its staff. We should also like to acknowledge the help
we received through a grant-in-aid from the Ford Foundation to one
of the authors, a grant that made preliminary exploration of the
field situation possible.
Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our
Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it
stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the
14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at
least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers
almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why,
then, have we encountered no evidence, no messages, no artifacts of
these extraterrestrials? In this second, significantly revised and
expanded edition of his widely popular book, Webb discusses in
detail the (for now!) 75 most cogent and intriguing solutions to
Fermi's famous paradox: If the numbers strongly point to the
existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, why have we found no
evidence of them? Reviews from the first edition: "Amidst the
plethora of books that treat the possibility of extraterrestrial
intelligence, this one by Webb ... is outstanding. ... Each
solution is presented in a very logical, interesting, thorough
manner with accompanying explanations and notes that the
intelligent layperson can understand. Webb digs into the issues ...
by considering a very broad set of in-depth solutions that he
addresses through an interesting and challenging mode of
presentation that stretches the mind. ... An excellent book for
anyone who has ever asked 'Are we alone?'." (W. E. Howard III,
Choice, March, 2003) "Fifty ideas are presented ... that reveal a
clearly reasoned examination of what is known as 'The Fermi
Paradox'. ... For anyone who enjoys a good detective story, or
using their thinking faculties and stretching the imagination to
the limits ... 'Where is everybody' will be enormously informative
and entertaining. ... Read this book, and whatever your views are
about life elsewhere in the Universe, your appreciation for how
special life is here on Earth will be enhanced! A worthy addition
to any personal library." (Philip Bridle, BBC Radio, March, 2003)
Since gaining a BSc in physics from the University of Bristol and a
PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Manchester,
Stephen Webb has worked in a variety of universities in the UK. He
is a regular contributor to the Yearbook of Astronomy series and
has published an undergraduate textbook on distance determination
in astronomy and cosmology as well as several popular science
books. His interest in the Fermi paradox combines lifelong
interests in both science and science fiction.
Exposes the agenda behind the bio-robotic grey aliens' genetic
manipulation of certain human races
- Reveals the Grey's nature as sophisticated self-aware machines
created by a long vanished extraterrestrial civilization
- Explains how their quest to capture human souls appears in the
historical record from biblical times
- Explains how the phenomenon of racism is a by-product of their
genetic tampering
In 1997 Nigel Kerner first introduced the notion of aliens known as
Greys coming to Earth, explaining that Greys are sophisticated
biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilization they
have long since outlived. In this new book Kerner reveals that the
Greys are seeking to master death by obtaining something humans
possess that they do not: souls. Through the manipulation of human
DNA, these aliens hope to create their own souls and, thereby,
escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor of the
timeless realm of spirit.
Kerner explains that genetic manipulation by the Greys has occurred
since biblical times and has led to numerous negative qualities
that plague humanity, such as violence, greed, and maliciousness.
Racism, he contends, was developed by the aliens to prevent their
genetic experiments from being compromised by breeding with others
outside their influence. Examining historical records, Kerner shows
that Jesus, who represented an uncorrupted genetic line, warned his
disciples about the threat posed by these alien interlopers, while
Hitler, a pure product of this alien intelligence, waged genocide
in an attempt to rid Earth of all those untouched by this genetic
tampering. Despite the powerful grip the Greys have on humanity,
Kerner says that all hope is not lost. Greys exist wholly in the
material world, so if we follow the spiritual laws of reincarnation
and karma, aiming for enlightenment and rising above the
material--a state the Greys are unable to reach--we can free
ourselves from their grasp.
A voyage of exploration to the outer reaches of our inner lives.
UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin-but myths are real. The
power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space
travel or life on other planets. It's about us, our longings and
terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our
existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in
them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they
tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a
species. In the 1960s, Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist, convinced
that flying saucers were real and that it was his life's mission to
solve their mystery. He would become a professor of religious
studies, with traditions of heavenly journeys his specialty. With
Intimate Alien, he looks back to explore what UFOs once meant to
him as a boy growing up in a home haunted by death and what they
still mean for millions, believers and deniers alike. From the
prehistoric Balkans to the deserts of New Mexico, from the biblical
visions of Ezekiel to modern abduction encounters, Intimate Alien
traces the hidden story of the UFO. It's a human story from
beginning to end, no less mysterious and fantastic for its
earthliness. A collective cultural dream, UFOs transport us to the
outer limits of that most alien yet intimate frontier, our own
inner space.

On a dark winter's night in December 1980 two US airmen who were
security guards at a USAF base in Suffolk, England, encountered a
mysterious unidentified craft with flashing lights that had landed
in the forest outside the perimeter. When the story got out,
despite a cover-up and official denials, there were many who saw it
as clear evidence our planet was being visited by UFOs from outer
space. Skeptics who felt sure that must be a false explanation
rushed to offer more earthly suggestions, or to insist the story
was quite untrue and the airmen were lying. But they weren't! Years
after this strange incident, the actual identity of the "UFO" has
become plain and also the purpose for which this weapon was
devised. It was needed as a result of an international crisis. Now,
author George Wingfield examines the background of these events and
also other similar unexplained sightings and encounters with UFOs
during that era.
