    Book SynopsisHumanity is consumed by relentless transformation Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice. As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.” The world-famous robot, Sophia, symbolises a rising techno-religion. She takes her name from the goddess—or Aeon—whose fall from grace is described in the Gnostic Gospels. With an academic background in both science and theology, Allen confronts the paradox of what he calls “good people constructing a digital abomination.” Dark Aeon is nothing less than a cri de coeur for humanity itself. He takes us on a roller coaster ride through history and the emergence of Scientism, and from government-mandated mRNA vaccines to the weird visions of cyborg billionaires like Elon Musk. From Silicon Valley to China, these globalists’ visions of humanity’s future, exposed and described in Dark Aeon, are dire and terrifying. But Joe Allen argues that humanity’s salvation is within our grasp. Only if we refuse to avert our eyes from the impending twilight before us. Trade Review“Joe Allen’s Dark Aeon is the first comprehensive critical analysis of the planned post-human future. It will give you great clarity (as well as nightmares). Allen has long been our most thoughtful authority of this ill-understood catastrophe and no one who wants humanity to survive should ignore his warnings here."—Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth and The Bodies of Others “It’s easy to feel technology brings something new under the sun every minute, faster than we can keep up. In fact, that’s part of the plan for those racing to replace our humanity and our reality with simulated gods. But today’s apparent novelties have deep and ancient roots, and the spiritual response they demand is stronger than any smart power. Dispel the shadows with Joe Allen’s Dark Aeon, a grand tour of the cosmic sweep behind our present predicament. He goes deep, and he’s got receipts.”—James Poulos, author of Human Forever “Joe Allen's book is a warning beacon in a dark sea. He shows us what every one of us must do today to save our freedom . . . indeed to save our humanity.”—Royce White, political activist and former professional basketball player “Transhumanism is a clear and present danger to every man, woman, and child on earth. At its very core, it is anti-human. Joe Allen blows away any mystery about what it is, where it came from, and where it is headed. If there are one hundred different angles from which to view transhumanism, this book explores them all. Joe’s writing style is detailed and yet clear, replete with occasional sarcasm and appropriate cynicism. Those who start this book will be compelled to finish it in order to understand why transhumanism must be stopped, and the sooner, the better.”—Patrick Wood, author of Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order and Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation “The darkness that is enveloping the world is driven and defended by an ideology. It posits that life will be made better by an embrace of the destruction of humanity as we know it. This ideology—transhumanism—is better understood and explained by Joe Allen than any other intellectual currently at work. Dark Aeon is a thorough explication of the crisis before us, and a must read by anyone who cares about their country and humanity.”—Brian Kennedy, president of The American Strategy Group, and chairman of The Committee on the Present Danger: China “From DARPA’s militarized humans to digital Darwinism, immune system software updates, and mental bioweapons, there is no doubt the age of humanity’s merging with machines is upon us. If you read one book about transhumanism today (and we should all be reading about this emerging plague), let it be this one. This is a tour de force, a compulsively readable runaway train from start to finish. Allen has not only gone into the belly of the technological beast and scoured the depths of the coming dark age of the tech gods, he has emerged triumphant with razor sharp wit and brilliant clarity to help us understand what is transpiring all around us. If only we allow ourselves to see, we are being ‘hardwired for control.’ Allen's astute observations are clearly supported and his warning that ‘transhumanism is Satanism with a brain chip,’ will continue to haunt you long after you close the book.”—Jennifer Bilek, investigative journalist

Louis TherouxIs this how democracy dies?The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse's brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories are tearing America apart. It's a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn't the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for - it was only the beginning.A compelling mix of research and reportage, The Coming Storm gets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has

  • Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk

    Skyhorse Publishing Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisRevised and updated for the first time in 2023—Now includes strategies for debunking conspiracies regarding the coronavirus pandemic, election fraud, QAnon, UFOs, and more. The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre. All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade’s worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognise these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren’t comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West’s tried-and-tested approach emphasises clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, The Coronavirus Pandemic, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, Election Fraud, False Flags, Flat Earth, The Rising of QAnon, and UFOs)—providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism. With sections on: the wide spectrum of conspiracy theories avoiding the “shill” label psychological factors and other complications (and concluding with) a look at the future of debunking Mick West has put forth a conclusive, well-researched, practical reference on why people fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and how you can help them escape.Trade Review“The subtitle says it all: Mick West demonstrates with exquisite style, wit, and insight how those three rare and valuable species, Fact, Logic and Respect (each now on the very brink of extinction) have in harness the power to shine light into darkness and dispel the miasma of bias, superstition and balefully proud ignorance that is threatening to poison our age.” —Stephen Fry, actor, comedian, activist "Mick West explains in clear terms not only how people get into conspiratorial beliefs, but how to disabuse them of those same mistaken ideas.” —David Pakman, host of The David Pakman Show “Mick West and his Metabunk website have become the go-to sources for curious minds overwhelmed by fantastic conspiracy claims circulating pop culture. The problem we professional debunkers have is that conspiracies do happen—Lincoln was assassinated by a cabal, World War I was triggered by a conspiracy to kill the Austrian Arch Duke, Watergate was a cover-up, there were no WMDs in Iraq—so some skepticism about conventional explanations is warranted. What we need is a conspiracy detection kit, and Escaping the Rabbit Hole is precisely that, arming readers with the tools they need to filter all the conspiracy craziness bombarding us daily. Was Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring at a pizza parlor? No. Did the Pentagon Papers and Wikileaks reveal that our government has been lying to us and covering up their misdeeds? Yes. How can we tell the difference? Read this book, which belongs in every newsroom and congressional office." —Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, monthly columnist Scientific American, author Why People Believe Weird Things, The Believing Brain, and Heavens on Earth "Never before has a trip down the Rabbit Hole been so interesting and more importantly, educational. Mick West dives headfirst into the bottomless trap of irrationally and conspiracy theories to offer a lifeline to those who don’t even know they are lost. For the rest of us, this book gives us a peek not only into the abyss, but into the minds of those wandering its depths.” —Richard Saunders, Producer The Skeptic Zone Podcast, CSI Fellow, Life Member Australian Skeptics “Mick West goes beyond merely debunking conspiracy theories to examining the psychology and motivations of believers. Through interviews and research, West offers critical thinking approaches to not only understanding conspiracy theories but helping those who believe them analyze their own beliefs. Escaping the Rabbit Hole is an insightful examination of how and why otherwise smart, ordinary people can lose their bearings in the topsy-turvy world of conspiracies.” —Benjamin Radford, M.Ed, deputy editor, Skeptical Inquirer science magazine "One reason that a conspiracy theory persists is because evidence that disproves it is considered to be evidence of an even larger cover-up. Mick West’s Escaping the Rabbit Hole draws on his long experience leading people away from unwarranted beliefs to illustrate how you need more than mere facts to help conspiracy theorists arrive at better conclusions on their own. I really enjoyed it. There is hope!" —Robert J. Blaskiewicz, Jr., Assistant Professor of Critical Thinking, Stockton University “As someone who’s spent a lot of time in rabbit holes, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. West teaches us to be kind and reminds us that anyone can fall for conspiracy theories, regardless of intelligence. Through interviews and discussion of best practices, he gives us hope that even a person stuck in the deepest, darkest rabbit hole can eventually escape. I highly recommend this book!” —Susan Gerbic, founder of Monterey County Skeptics, Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry “Trying to talk a conspiracy theorist out of his notions can often feel like trying to gently persuade a cat to have all her fur shaved off. But if there's anyone who I trust to guide the volunteer debunking army out there, it's Mick West. With candor leavened by compassion, West explains why people get sucked into conspiracy theories, why we should be more sympathetic to their point of view, and yes, even how to help people see the light. Read it if you have a chemtrails-panicked loved one and you're not ready to give up on the relationship quite yet.” —Amanda Marcotte, author of Troll Nation and Senior Political Writer at Salon.com

    Book SynopsisThe killing of US President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, in November 1963, sent a shockwave around the world. The charismatic young Democrat was seen as a beacon of hope in the West, but his liberal reforming policies had made him many powerful enemies at home.For sixty years, numerous theories have swirled around this key event in American - and world - history. Yet whatever the conclusions of the official Warren Report - that the President had been assassinated by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald - many people doubt that to be true. Indeed, President Nixon later admitted on tape that the report was 'a hoax committed on the American people.' John Hughes-Wilson, a former colonel in British Intelligence, has sifted through the millions of words and thousands of pieces of evidence, to put together an intelligence assessment of what really happened that dreadful high noon in Dallas in 1963.Reading this astounding book, no one can be in any doubt that JFK's death was not at the hands of a lone deranged gunman, but a deadly plot to remove a President who threatened vested interests at home and abroad.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisA bold examination of artificial intelligence, consciousness, technology, and the human urge to return to the womb. The thesis of Big Mother begins with the premise that our disembodiment as a species is being engineered, and that, at the same time, we are engineering it through technology. It proposes that the primary driving force of human civilization is the desire to create through technology a replica of the mother’s body—and then disappear into it. Taking us into the uncanny valley where neurodiversity, linguistics, consciousness, technology, demonology, Rudolf Steiner, Philip K. Dick, Norman Bates, Ted Bundy, transgenderism, liquid modernity, identity politics, the surveillance state, virtual reality, transhumanism, Satanism, medical totalitarianism, and a new world religion of scientism collide, Big Mother explodes the technologically-assembled and technocratically-imposed architecture of illusion in which the modern human being is increasingly lost inside, and points the way back to our original soul natures.Trade Review"Anything Jasun Horsley writes compels me to an uncanny degree; the stakes feel enormous. He exemplifies a mind grappling to the very edge of itself and to the edge of collective human experxience simultaneously. Language, in his hands, seems pressured into use as spacecraft into unknown territory." Jonathan Lethem, author of The Fortress of Solitude "Jasun Horsley is making a habit of writing books everyone should read. Somehow Horsley emerges from his own close encounters with such terrors and seductions sufficiently intact to write an extraordinarily coherent and grounded guidebook for others who may be wandering along these frontiers or about to embark into them. Horsley takes readers on a personal journey they should not miss." Gregory Desilet, author of Cult of the Kill: Traditional Metaphysics of Rhetoric, Truth, and Violence in a Postmodern WorldPraise for Prisoner of Infinity by Jasun Horsley (Aeon, 2018 - 9781911597056): ‘Jasun Horsley is making a habit of writing books everyone should read. Prisoner of Infinity is an engrossing expedition into the murky frontiers of alien abductions, space exploration, New Age spirituality, cult worship, psi phenomena, near- death-experiences, channeling the dead... oh, and childhood trauma. Somehow Horsley emerges from his own close encounters with such terrors and seductions sufficiently intact to write an extraordinarily coherent and grounded guidebook for others who may be wandering along these frontiers or about to embark into them. You have to read this book to feel its power and to fully understand the depth of its voice, its call, and its challenge to every other soul in evaluating these alternate reality phenomena. Horsley takes readers on a personal journey they should not miss. I highly recommend this book.’ Gregory Desilet, author of Cult of the Kill: Traditional Metaphysics of Rhetoric, Truth, and Violence in a Postmodern World ‘Prisoner of Infinity is easily the most important study extant of social/mythological engineering/UFOs/Strieber’s continuum. No stranger to trauma, driven by relentless – yet empathetic – intelligence, Horsley strips out the massive, annoying nonsense that’s tainted these subjects since the heady days of Adamski, Bowert’s Operation Mind Control, the late Jim Keith’s more lucid material and Cannon’s The Controllers. An incredible and literally mind-blowing exploration.' William Grabowski, contributing editor of Library Journal, and author of Black Light: Perspectives on Mysterious Phenomena ‘Possibly the most complex problem in the social sciences is what may be called the “micro-macro transition phase” – accounting theoretically for that mechanism by which individual psyches are made receptive to external waves, or outside suggestions, and turned into instruments for fashioning so-called “history”. Jasun Horsley’s Prisoner of Infinity is an erudite and trenchant testimony, which, by taking Whitley Strieber’s intriguing literary output as its point of departure, delves obstinately into the darker recesses of psychic spaces torn asunder by (child) abuse with a view to reveal the ulterior purposes of these practices. As the investigation proceeds, it unmasks the aesthetic cover-ups that have been created in pop iconography in order to smuggle a sinister contraband into conventional reality. A book such as this, which weaves seamlessly literary criticism, autobiographical reminiscence, a reinterpretation of pop counter-culture, and a personal mapping of esotericism’s strange maze, represents indeed an important advance in unlocking the mysteries of the “micro-macro transition phase”.’ Guido Giacomo Preparata, author of The Ideology of Tyranny and Conjuring Hitler Praise for Vice of Kings by Jasun Horsley (Aeon, 2019 - 9781911597049): ‘Anything Jasun Horsley writes compels me to an uncanny degree; the stakes feel enormous. He exemplifies a mind grappling to the very edge of itself and to the edge of collective human experience simultaneously. Language, in his hands, seems pressured into use as spacecraft into unknown territory.’ Jonathan Lethem, author of The Fortress of Solitude ‘The Vice of Kings is a brave journey into a family’s heart of darkness by an intrepid prose artist. It is not just the painful and bizarre family affairs he uncovers, but the sexual crimes that the British aristocracy normalized as their peculiar privilege going back generations. It also happens to be meticulously researched and beautifully written.’ James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency and the World Made By Hand series

What's more, they're back and fighting George Bush's War on Terror.Inspired the film starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor.Trade ReviewNot only a narcotic road trip through the wackier reaches of Bush’s war effort, but also an unmissable account of the insanity that has lately been done in our names. * Observer *Funny and gravely serious, what emerges is a world shrouded in secrecy, mystery and wackiness, where Warrior Monks and psychic spies battle it out for military thinking.

    Book SynopsisAn exposure of the ongoing global shift to digital biology and transhumanism• Explores how chemicals and nanotechnology are being continuously delivered via chemtrail aerosols by jets, drones, and rockets in the guise of “climate change”• Examines the public-private partnerships behind transhumanism, including Big Pharma, GMO agribusiness, DARPA/IARPA, corporations, and foundations• Reveals the reality of the secret space program (SSP) and the planetary “smart grid” of 5G/6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI)What if the degradation of the planet is not just a byproduct of human greed but the explicit intention of government agencies bought off by corporations? What if their intent is to create a “post-human” global government run by AI, populated by a genetically and electromagnetically altered Homo sapiens loaded with nanotechnology and run by 5G/6G/7G transceivers from space?Building on decades of research, Elana Freeland offers a comprehensive exposé of the transhumanist agenda—the transformation of humanity into a slave class by means of biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. She reveals that weather control is already a global reality, thanks to the aerosol chemtrails that maintain the ionized atmosphere needed for a myriad of military and civilian wireless operations like weather modification, delivery of nanotechnology and synthetic biology (synbio) by jets, drones, and rockets, and pulses that alter human behavior, bodies, and brains. The air we breathe, the soil we grow our food in, and the water we drink have all been altered away from Nature and toward a synthetic “metaverse.” Meanwhile, Big Pharma injects nano-sized hardware and software in vivo that activate a transhumanist brain-computer interface with AI. The author also examines the public-private partnerships behind transhumanism, including Big Pharma, GMO agribusiness, DARPA/IARPA, corporations, and foundations, and reveals the reality of the secret space program (SSP) and the planetary “smart grid” of 5G/6G.The eons-old global dream of power seems to be coming of age in this overwhelmingly technological era of domination by the wealthy. And yet by exposing the transhumanist agenda and studying the technology being employed to subjugate the human race, we have the opportunity to begin to find ways not just to resist becoming machines ourselves but also to become self-responsible creators who utilize our technologies not for power but for restoring a high civilization in service to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

    Book SynopsisThe real story behind the Tavistock Institute and its network, from a popular conspiracy expert The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered. With connections to U.S. research institutes, think tanks, and the drug industry, the Tavistock has a large reach, and Tavistock Institute attempts to show that the conspiracy is real, who is behind it, what its final long term objectives are, and how we the people can stop them.

Titanic's older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in September 1911 an accident that may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line. Since 1912 rumours of a conspiracy to switch the two sisters in an elaborate insurance scam has always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have really switched the Olympic with her near identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship in April 1912, in order to cash in on the insurance policy? Laying bare the famous conspiracy theory, world-respected Titanic researchers investigate claims that the sister ships were switched in an insurance scam and provide definitive proof for whether it could - or could not - have happened.

    Book SynopsisThe Loch Ness Monster: a creature that should have died out with the dinosaurs, or a legend built on hoaxes and wishful thinking?Sir Peter Scott, internationally renowned naturalist and president of the World Wildlife Fund, was convinced that the Monster existed. So were senior scientists at London''s Natural History Museum and Chicago University; they lost their jobs because they refused to renounce their belief in the creature. For decades, the scientific establishment was determined to quash attempts to investigate Loch Ness - until Nature, the world''s greatest research journal, published an article by Peter Scott featuring underwater photographs of the Monster. Drawing extensively on new material, Gareth Williams takes a wholly original look at what really happened in Loch Ness. A Monstrous Commotion tells the story as never before: a gripping saga populated by colourful characters who do extraordinary things in pursuit of one of evolution''s wildest cardsTrade ReviewA Monstrous Commotion is surely the best and sanest recent book on LNM: readable, informative and fully referenced. -- James Hamilton-Paterson * LITERARY REVIEW *But does he exist?

    Book SynopsisFrom Garrett M. Graff, New York Times bestselling author of Raven Rock, The Only Plane in the Sky, and Pulitzer Prize finalist for history Watergate, comes the first comprehensive and eye-opening exploration of our government’s decades-long quest to solve one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: Are we alone in the universe?For as long as we have looked to the skies, the question of whether life on Earth is the only life to exist has been at the core of the human experience, driving scientific debate and discovery, shaping spiritual belief, and prompting existential thought across borders and generations. And yet, the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence has been largely seen as a joke, banished to the realm of fantasy and conspiracy. Now, for the first time, the full story of our national obsession with UFOs—and the covert, decades-long search by scientists, the United States military, and the CIA for proof of alien life—is told by bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Garrett M. Graff in a deeply reported and researched history. It begins in 1947, when two headline-making sightings of strange flying objects—the first near Mount Rainier, Washington, involving a pilot named Kenneth Arnold, and the second a ranch on the outskirts of a New Mexico town called Roswell—prompt the US Air Force’s newly formed Department of Defense to create a series of secret programs to determine how unidentified phenomena may pose a threat to national security. Over the next half-century, as the atomic age gives way to the space race and the Cold War, the search continues, bringing together an unexpected group of astronomers, military officials, civilian contactees, and true believers who bring us closer, then further, then closer again, to answering one of our most enduring questions: What exactly is out there? Drawing from original archival research, declassified documents, and interviews with senior intelligence and military officials, Graff brings every moment of this extraordinary quest to life, transporting readers from secret military meetings and congressional hearings, where the validity of the search is debated, to the cluttered offices of UFOlogists and hoaxers determined to see the truth revealed, remote observatories where astronomers monitor the stars, and even the halls of the White House, where staffers and presidents alike eagerly await answers. Filled with twists and turns, and populated by an unforgettable cast of characters, UFO is a thrilling story of science, national security, the secrets of space, and the enduring mysteries of the universe.Trade Review"One of the rare books on the topic that manages to be both entertaining and factually grounded." * Wall Street Journal *"The perfect guide for readers interested in learning how that discussion has evolved. . . . a narrative as compelling as Graff's other works." * Associated Press *“Loads of fun, and Graff’s agnosticism has the potential to appeal to skeptics and believers alike. . . a fascinating dive down the rabbit hole.” * Publishers Weekly *"The perfect guide for readers interested in learning how that discussion has evolved. . . . a narrative as compelling as Graff's other works." * Associated Press *PRAISE FOR UFO: "The perfect guide for readers interested in learning how that discussion has evolved. . . . a narrative as compelling as Graff's other works." * Associated Press *“An entertaining tour through the world of flying saucers, aliens, and weird science.” * Kirkus Reviews *PRAISE FOR WATERGATE “Do we need still another Watergate book? The answer turns out to be yes — this one: Garrett M. Graff’s Watergate: A New History. It is a remarkably rich narrative with compelling characters, who range from criminal and flawed to tragic and heroic. As someone who played a small role in the drama while I was editing many of The Washington Post’s Watergate stories, I found that Graff convincingly populates and re-creates an extraordinary time in the history of the country and this city. ... fast-paced ... filled with apt sketches of its many characters, major and minor, from all the president’s men, and some of their spouses, to journalists, investigators, lawyers and members of Congress. It vividly re-creates all the key events, from Nixon’s overreaction to the revelation of the Pentagon Papers about the Vietnam War in June 1971 to his resignation in August 1974.... engaging, informative and thought-provoking, more than earning its place on bookshelves alongside the old histories.” —Len Downie, Jr., The Washington Post “Dazzling. . . A lively writer, Graff explores the dramatic scope of the Watergate saga through its participants — politicians, investigators, journalists, whistle-blowers and, at center stage, Nixon himself.” —Douglas Brinkley, The New York Times Book Review “Award-winning author Graff aims to give readers the full scope of Watergate — a much bigger, more bizarre story than even remembered — telling the full story from start to finish in this ambitious book.” —New York Post “A definitive, exhaustive account of the scandal. . . a fascinating, horrifying examination of the Nixon presidency up close—enough to scare the record straight.” —AirMail “A meticulously researched, expansive history of the Watergate scandal from start to finish, from the release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 to the reverberations that echo through present day.” —Barbara VanDenburgh, USA TODAY “A brisk, riveting, compulsively readable, comprehensive, up-to-date narrative of the entire tangled affair, and it's hard to imagine it better told. . . . Now the best and fullest account of the Watergate crisis, one unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Monumental. . . effortlessly clarifies the strands of one of the most complex episodes in modern history. . . A masterful, epic look at a story that is still barely believable.” —The Daily Mail

Sean found that Elliott had created a kindergarten of Anglo-American imperialists amongst his students, who included Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel P. Huntington, and McGeorge Bundy. Upon further investigation, Sean came to understand Elliott’s own integral role, connecting the modern national-security establishment with the British Round Table Movement’s design to re-incorporate America into the British ‘empire’. Whether that goal was achieved will be left to the reader to decide. However, it cannot be denied that W.Y.

    Book SynopsisThe time is right to learn what really happened on 9/11. The time is right to unearth what has been deliberately withheld from the public. Nearly twenty years ago, on 11 September 2001, four passenger aircraft were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly three thousand people were killed. The narrative in the weeks and months that followed seemed straightforward: the attacks had been masterminded by al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, an embittered terrorist with an abiding hatred of the West. But, as the twenty-year anniversary approaches, that neat explanation still fails to answer some important questions surrounding that fateful day. How did World Trade Center Building 7 - 100 yards from the Twin Towers - collapse so quickly and symmetrically when it had not been hit?How could two rogue aircraft bring down three towers?Did the US government help orchestrate the attacks as an 'inside job'? 9/11: The Conspiracy Theories seeks the truth - not only of what we do know about 9/11, but also what has been intentionally hidden from us. Researching these stories with the help of strong first-person reporting and an in-depth examination of documentation released under freedom-of-information protocols, this book sheds new light on one of history's most tragic and troubling episodes, which shattered for ever the myth of America as a country immune to international terrorism.

It’s a question that has haunted Van, herself a veteran of social media’s relentless trolling wars. In this daring investigation, Van exposes some of the internet’s most extreme communities to understand conspiracy cults from the inside.QAnon and On is the story of the modern internet, the farscape of political belief and a disinformation pipeline built between the two that poses an ongoing threat to democracy itself.

    Book SynopsisAllegations 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.Trade Review‘Fortress Russia is essential reading for anyone in the USA and Western Europe who wants a greater understanding of how Russia views the world. Yablokov provides key insights into the popular politics within Putin’s Russia, much of it framed by conspiracy theories, at a time of rising populism and fearful nationalism around the world and much of which is keyed to conspiracies surrounding Putin himself. The book helps to reveal the dangerous hall of mirrors in which we live.’ Mark Fenster, author of Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture and The Transparency Fix. ‘Ilya Yablokov takes us on a journey through the myriad conspiracy theories that flourish in post-Soviet political culture. The notion of a “subversive agency” is indeed a critical explanatory element for Russian society that gives sense to the profound and violent changes of the last three decades and has been opportunely instrumentalized by the Russian authorities to consolidate their legitimacy. Fortress Russia is a must-read for all those who wish to understand contemporary Russia and its perception of the world.’ Marlene Laruelle, The George Washington University"Fortress Russia offers important insight into the origins, functions, and nature of Russian conspiracy theories, emphasizing continuities in their development since the Imperial period. It is sure to be a useful resource in a wide variety of subfields within Russian and East European Studies, while also offering generalizable insights that expand its relevance to historians, political scientists, and scholars of global cultural history."The Russian Review‘Yablokov offers a convincing model of the function of conspiracy in post-Soviet Russia.’East-West Review"I certainly recommend Fortress Russia, particularly because of its contribution to the study of the toxic love affair between populist politics and conspiracy theories in authoritarian contexts… In a year that has catapulted QAnon to the very top of the trash can of history, the value of Yablokov’s book has risen even more."Eurasian Geography and EconomicsTable of Contents Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Building ‘Fortress Russia’ Chapter 2: The Spectres of conspiracy mythmaking Chapter 3: In Search of the ‘agents of perestroika’ Chapter 4: Sovereign democracy and its enemies Chapter 5: Battling against ‘foreign agents’ Chapter 6: Shadows of the colour revolution Chapter 7: The War has begun Conclusion

    Inner Traditions Bear and Company Catching the Ascension Wave: Everything You Need

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisRight now, there is an enormous infusion of higher dimensional energy--a “Galactic Super Wave”--that is dramatically raising the vibratory rate of our planet and everyone on it. As Bob Frissell explains, in order to catch this wave of ascension and survive and thrive during the coming Great Awakening, we must undergo a personal transformation to raise our vibration and align with the Higher Self within each of us. Frissell explores the forces working to advance our planetary ascent into higher consciousness--as well as those seeking to block it. Going back over 500,000 years of Earth history, he looks at the role of the ancient Builder Race from Venus and other ET races, such as the Greys and the Anshars, in our evolutionary development and rapid technological advancements. He exposes government cover-ups of alien encounters as well as the startling details of our Secret Space Program, the New World Order, and the Depopulation Agenda. He explains how the Precession of the Equinoxes is directly influencing Earth’s awakening and how the dance between the “forces of darkness” and the “forces of light” actually allows consciousness to evolve. Sharing exercises, tools, and techniques to transmute the energies blocking access to your Higher Self, Frissell explores how the infusion of higher dimensional energy is impacting planet Earth and each of us. He shows how reconnecting with your Higher Self enables you to harness the ability to create great abundance and recognize our intimate connection to all life and to the Infinite Creator. Unveiling the incoming new energetic configuration for the Earth, Frissell details how the Great Awakening is nothing less than the birth of a new humanity and how, by raising your vibration, you help in the co-creation of Heaven on Earth.Trade Review“A head-spinning journey through secret space programs, the Deep State, and the Vatican; the Depopulation Agenda, ETs, the New World Order, free energy, and solar flares; the Bible, ancient yogis, ascended masters, COVID-19, cryptocurrencies, and near-death experiences! And Frissell brings it all together in a celebration of the evolution of consciousness and a great awakening, grounding it all in his heart-centered approach to breathwork, called Breath Alchemy. Thanks for the ride, Bob!” * DAN BRULÉ, author of Just Breathe and founder of Breath Mastery *“Catching the Ascension Wave will not only catch your attention but will catapult you into your ascension! This book explodes with information that is mesmerizing—I couldn’t put it down!” * Dianne Robbins, author of Messages from the Hollow Earth *“Catching the Ascension Wave is just what the world needs right now at this critical juncture in our evolution. Bob’s style is friendly and accessible, even when explaining some rather deep concepts, which anyone (with an open mind) can easily assimilate. He has a mind for bringing multiple loose ends together, from all kinds of sources, to create a clear picture of our world that has been kept from our awareness. It gets especially good when he goes into his great work with Breath Alchemy, which he demonstrates as one of the key methods to upgrading our consciousness for the great transition Earth is now making into fourth-dimensional reality.” * Denis Ouellette, author of Heal Yourself with Breath, Light, Sound, and Water *“Finally, a book that connects all the dots and gives us answers! This is a groundbreaking must-read guide for the turbulent times we find ourselves in, teetering on the edge of mass awakening. Bob Frissell pulls back the veil and exposes the truths that have been obscured from the world and gives us a set of solutions for healing our own traumas and raising our vibrational frequency to match the new Earth that is emerging.” * Kris Ashley, author of Change Your Mind to Change Your Reality *“Bob Frissell has done a superb job of collecting information and showing the visible and invisible processes associated with the awakening of humanity and describing them in his exciting book. But most importantly, he gives unique meditations, tools, and techniques, including the Breath Alchemy Technique, which will allow people to harmoniously align with the raising of the consciousness of the planet so that humanity will again find inner peace, joyfulness, and unconditional love.” * Alexander Milovanov, author of The Music of the Divine Spheres *“A wonderful, exceptional book that is true to Bob’s previous well-researched messages. I love how he ties together so many unexplained phenomena that you may have wondered about. This is a book I will treasure! It may call you to re-read again and again. It is irresistible.” * Maureen J. St. Germain, author of Waking Up in 5D *“In this book, Frissell surpasses himself with another breathtaking expansion of our understanding and experience of reality—and adds to it a full explanation of his powerful Five-Step Harmonizing Method of Breath Alchemy. My personal experiences with Breath Alchemy have been truly amazing, on a physical and energetic level—the most healing experience I have ever had. This is a life-changing book!” * Kenneth Porter, M.D., author of Apollo’s Lyre: The Art of Spiritual Psychotherapy *“Bob Frissell knows how to duel with paradoxes, Potemkins, and aliases and come away with a single gem that attunes you to the next rung on the ladder— your own ladder. He is a living truth serum and hermetic lie detector. Catching the Ascension Wave is a delightful and wise maturation of his teaching and shows the payoff of getting on a path and staying on it, no matter what gets tossed your way.” * Richard Grossinger, author of Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms *“Bob is a remarkable author who cannot be compared with anyone else. Each book of his presents us with something mind-blowing or pleasantly shocking for our perception of reality. Catching the Ascension Wave is exciting. Even if you do not believe in higher-dimensional energy in the way that Bob describes, this book will benefit you, it will open your mind to new possibilities and give you tools to improve your inner state of being. I highly recommend not only his books but also his Breath Alchemy Technique.” * Gisselle Cuomo, clinical psychologist *“I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychological transformation and the evolution of humanity to a higher level of being—and even physical transcendence into one characterized by cosmic consciousness—that will bring about a new heaven and a new Earth for those who have prepared themselves for great changes.” * Robert D.

    Book Synopsis“A deep dive into the world of Flat Earth conspiracy theorists . . . that brilliantly reveals how people fall into illogical beliefs, reject reason, destroy relationships, and connect with a broad range of conspiracy theories in the social media age. Beautiful, probing, and often empathetic . . . An insightful, human look at what fuels conspiracy theories.” —Science Since 2015, there has been a spectacular boom in a centuries-old delusion: that the earth is flat. More and more people believe that we all live on a pancake-shaped planet, capped by a solid dome and ringed by an impossible wall of ice. How? Why? In Off the Edge, journalist Kelly Weill draws a direct line from today’s conspiratorial moment, brimming not just with Flat Earthers but also anti-vaxxers and QAnon followers, back to the early days of Flat Earth theory in the 1830s. We learn the natural impulses behind these beliefs: when faced with a complicated world out of our control, humans have always sought patterns to explain the inexplicable. This psychology doesn’t change. But with the dawn of the twenty-first century, something else has shifted. Powered by Facebook and YouTube algorithms, the Flat Earth movement is growing. At once a definitive history of the movement and an essential look at its unbelievable present, Off the Edge introduces us to a cast of larger-than-life characters. We meet historical figures like the nineteenth-century grifter who first popularized the theory, as well as the many modern-day Flat Earthers Weill herself gets to know, from moms on vacation to determined creationists to neo-Nazi rappers. We discover what, and who, converts people to Flat Earth belief, and what happens inside the rabbit hole. And we even meet a man determined to fly into space in a homemade rocket-powered balloon—whose tragic death is as senseless and absurd as the theory he sets out to prove. In this incisive and powerful story about belief, Kelly Weill explores how we arrived at this moment of polarized realities and explains what needs to happen so that we might all return to the same spinning globe.Trade Review“A deep dive into the world of flat Earth conspiracy theorists . . . that brilliantly reveals how people fall into illogical beliefs, reject reason, destroy relationships, and connect with a broad range of conspiracy theories in the social media age.

    Book SynopsisInvestigative journalist David Gardner turns his uncompromising gaze on the many conspiracy theories connected with the COVID pandemic. With first-hand reporting and detailed investigations into the people who originated these COVID theories - some of them plausible, some driven by an agenda, and some plainly mad - he answers the questions that everyone has been asking for nearly two years since the pandemic began, and left us doubting our leaders as never before. When COVID-19 struck early in 2020, first in China and inexorably through the rest of the world, it quickly became the subject of the most virulent outbreak of conspiracy theories we have ever seen. The pandemic quickly became an infodemic. The President of the United States championed bleach as a cure, the Chinese government blamed the Americans, and the American government blamed the Chinese - a Cold War over a cold virus. David Icke said that COVID does not exist. People blamed 5G phone networks, genetically modified crops, Bill Gates, Corona beer, aliens, bats and pangolins . . . Yet these theorists are not all the obsessive cultists and paranoid mavericks with whom the conspiracy-theory label is often associated. They are your parents, your next-door neighbour, your boss at work. The question marks over the origins of COVID-19, the dangers of the virus. The world has been changed for ever by the events of the past two years. It is crucial that history offers an accurate account of what happened. This book will play a key role in revealing what - and what not - to believe.

    Book SynopsisA revealing trip down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories--their appeal, who believes them, how they spread--with an eye to helping people deal with the alt-right conspiracists in their own lives. Conspiracy theories are killing us. Once confined to the fringes of society, this worldview now has adherents numbering in the millions--extending right into the White House. This disturbing look at this alt-right threat to our democratic institutions offers guidance for counteracting the personal toll this destructive mindset can have on relationships and families. Author David Neiwert--an investigative journalist who has studied the radical right for decades--examines the growing appeal of conspiracy theories and the kind of personalities that are attracted to such paranoid, sociopathic messages. He explains how alt-right leaders are able to get such firm holds on the imaginations of their followers and chronicles the destruction caused by the movement's most virulent believers. Neiwert uses the story of Lane Davis as an example of what this worldview does to people and how it affects their personal lives as well as their ability to influence the larger public. The alt-right, pro-Trump Davis spent most of his time posting on the internet. Obsessed with "liberal pedophilia", he stabbed his father to death. Davis is an extreme example of "getting red-pilled" - a metaphor for when believers of conspiracy theories become convinced that their alternate universe is real. Uniquely, and optimistically, Neiwert provides a "blue pill toolkit" for those who are dealing with conspiracy theorists in their own lives, including strategies drawn from people who counsel former far-right extremists who have renounced their former beliefs.

    Book SynopsisAs featured on The Joe Rogan Experience______________________________A journalist's twenty-year obsession with the Manson murders leads to shocking new conspiracy theories about the FBI's involvement in this fascinating re-evaluation of one of the most infamous cases in American history.Twenty years ago, reporting for a routine magazine piece about the infamous Manson murders, journalist Tom O'Neill didn't expect to find anything new. But the discovery of horrifying new evidence kick-started an obsession and his life's work. What had he unearthed and what did it mean: why was there surveillance by intelligence agents? Why did the police make these particular mistakes and why did Tom's greatest ally in this fight turn into his biggest foe? Chaos is an explosive read that will shock, grip and change our understanding of a case that has haunted the world for over fifty years.______________________________'Riveting ... Sensational revelations ... True crime fans will be enthralled.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY'[Full of] scandalous findings ... to me it seems only too plausible. O'Neill's intricately sinister 'secret history' often sounds incredible; that doesn't mean that it's not all true.' OBSERVER'Tantalizing ... Founded on prodigious research ... O'Neill's 20-year investigation reads like a thriller.' LOS ANGELES TIMESTrade ReviewO’Neill's investigations started twenty years ago…and they have continued ever since … His research monomaniacally took over his life … [Full of] scandalous findings … As it develops, O'Neill's tale embroils an increasingly stellar cast of accomplices or enablers … No unified field theory of malfeasance would be complete without a link to the JFK assassination and the ensuing cover-up. O’Neill supplies one, and to me it seems only too plausible. Inevitably there are contemporary resonances … O’Neill's intricately sinister ‘secret history’ often sounds incredible; that doesn't mean that it's not all true. * Observer *Chaos explodes a bomb under Manson’s Helter Skelter race war … Tantalizing … Founded on prodigious research, it convincingly impugns key tenets of Bugliosi’s [Helter Skelter] narrative and exhumes a trove of provocative data … Explosive revelations … O’Neill’s 20-year investigation reads like a thriller with overtones of Philip Marlowe. * Los Angeles Times *A kaleidoscope swirl of weird discoveries and mind-bending hypotheticals that reads like Raymond Chandler. * New York Times *A 20-year quest for the truth may have not found any definitive answers — but it definitely changes the story … Chaos offers a slew of newly reported information that proves one thing: There’s more to it than we thought. * Rolling Stone *Whatever you think you know about the Manson murders is wrong. Just flat out wrong. Tom O’Neill’s twenty years of meticulous research has unearthed revelations about the murders, the murderers, the prosecutors who tried them and a rogues gallery of cops, drug dealers, bent doctors, famous celebrities, grotesque government research, secret agents and shadowy figures in a conspiracy/cover up so sweeping and bizarre, you’ll be as astounded as you are terrified. If your friends call you paranoid, maybe they’re just ignorant.
