A classic, even if most of it is blatantly false, it's still a fun read with some worthwhile musings about the nature of government.

I read the first few pages of this book and just rolled my eyes. I also read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a short read and if it weren't for the poison it injected into our world, I would have laughed. OK, I snorted at a few things, especially the fabricated conversations that were written into the text. Actually the whole thing is fabricated. I was trying to understand how something like Qanon develops, so I decided to read some sources and the history of nutjobs who fall into this kind of shit.
I did learn from both of these texts that paranoid delusional fantasies about evil conspiracies of world domination by Jews (and Democrats] have gone on since the Middle Ages. Unfortunately that doesn't make me feel better but now I have a better idea of how things like this happen and now know that they've always been there. The truth isn't setting anyone free.
UGH. No stars. I downloaded Parables from the FBI archives, I hope they don't come knocking!

This book was recommended to me and while sure it was entertaining, there was not much truth going on here

Only read because my husband picked it for me. Might have been captivating back in the ‘90s, now just reads like an Alex Jones rant

Holy shit... If you really want the best and most unified theory of government conspiracy, this is the book you'll want to pay cash for and wear a tin-foil hat while reading. From secret societies to mk-ultra, and alien bases at Area 51. Did you know there are several types of "Greys"? I didn't either, but apparently the big nose greys are the enforcer class, and they've been working with our government for a couple generations now.
