This is outstanding

Revisado: 01-19-23

I'm halfway through but bought this because I had his book Hidden History. Unless there is a sudden downturn in quality, I'm going to have to ask people to shake off the negative reviews and accept that this is a necessary read, as long as one can accept that nothing is in black and white, and that history is written by the victors. For those in the know already, it comes as no shock to learn that Lincoln was a tyrant and one of our first presidents to remove the Constitution from its moorings. How he may have been the first to be killed by the Deep State, however - well, that's a new one on me. That John Wilkes Booth is not buried in that grave, that they won't allow an exhumation to confirm it, that there may have been a 100 people involved including the VP - well, no wonder we're having such a hard time getting to the truth about JFK when they won't even let us learn the truth about an ancient figure from 500 billion years ago.

Well, That Didn't Age Well

Revisado: 07-25-22

O'Rourke is credited with giving me insight to politics beyond the Democratic platform via Parliament of Whores, yet this book makes me question how sophisticated his thinking is. Yes, it spews Never Trumpism, but, worse, it recites tropisms culled from red-meat, click-bait headlines. He has a couple of paragraphs that Trump found good people "on both sides," the odious claim that he praised white supremacists when he actually condemned them. Heck, even Tim Pool reads further into the news clips. It's just not a good look; it's not a great closure to his work.

A fun, entertaining book that trails off

What did you love best about Our Occulted History?

Jim Marrs' book is almost delightful in its investigation of so-called suppressed science and alternate views of human history. Although I found some questionable references / sources, the book overall raises some intriguing questions about the age of humans and, at least, the timeline of civilization. it also delves into a rather fanciful but amazing theory of Macedonian culture. That all being said, the last third of the book - a regurgitation of "The Money Masters," federal reserve, the powerful elite, fluoridation, etc. - was so unnecessary that it felt like filler. More so, at the pace of an audio book, it gives the reader the impression that there are hours of life that could have been better spent.

What about Dave Courvoisier’s performance did you like?

The narrator delivers the text in a perfect tone. Some reviewers have complained about his imitations of dialect. I found it a benefit - it discerned Marrs' prose from quotes. It was an easy way to realize when a new voice was being introduced without having the narrator say, "here comes a quotation." Yes, Mr. Courvosier does make some curious mispronunciations - "Karlton Heston" - but, hey, at the same time he had a lot to read out loud!

It's good, as long as you don't listen to it.

I agree with the low-level ratings here. It's not that the book is bad - it's just bad in audio form. The narrator is great, but how much can you do with, "Government document three seven five Dee Zee Ell, dated January 25 two thousand and sixty five. From Admiral Cosegrove to the chiefs of staff ..." A more traditional book, your eyes just go right past all that. But I can't slight Jesse. Love the guy. Just find a book to flip through (PS - I love you, Audible)

Thank you for being here for us. What a great freebie. I don't really have much left to say but will add this sentence to get to the minimum. How this turned my day around!

Life Is Easy For A Skeptic

Revisado: 03-21-11

Want to be an official skeptic? Say "Occam's Razor" and cite the most ridiculous parts of the most ridiculous "conspiracy theory" - the Protocols of Zion - and you can dismiss more credible theories because that one is so justifiably stupid. And remember: you're the intellectual. Full disclosure - I'm only a half-hour in, but so far this is Bill Nye by-the-numbers skepticism. To dismiss Dr. David Griffin's work because he overstated his credentials somewhere, or to say there is no credible reason to question the murder of MLK despite what Dr. William Pepper might say is par for the course. Maybe it will get better.
