Black Helicopters over America: Strikeforce for the New World Order

Summary: If you can't get the basic facts right...
Review: ... how are we supposed to believe your theories that are harder to substantiate?

The litany of errors is hilarious.
Davis-Monthan AFB in Tuscon, AZ is alternately named "David Monthan," "Davis Munson," and "David Munson." Any road map could've provided the correct information.
Ft. Indiantown Gap in PA is similarly renamed about 3 different times.

Among the most amusing contention are the 30,000 "UN troops" stationed in Barstow, CA. First, Barstow doesn't have the water supply to support the 22,000 people that do live there. Second, the "UN troops" were probably soldiers from nearby Ft. Irwin, who wear different uniforms because their job is to portray the bad guys for units who come there to train (and there are fewer than 2500 of them). Third, why Barstow? What are they going to do, take down Las Vegas? And would anyone miss it if they did?

The best of all, though, is the cargo train of New World Order UN vehicles travelling through the western states. Keith claims they are "BMP-40s." They are quitely clearly Canadian Grizzly armored cars and M113 personnel carriers. Had anyone bothered to compare the timing of this train and the training schedule at the National Training Center, they would've known that the Canadians had a regiment of troops training with the Americans and these were the Canadian vehicles going home. When "Soldier of Fortune" debunks your cornerstone theory and dismisses it as the ravings of a right-wing lunatic, you know you're in trouble.

The Russian tanks seen on flatbeds near Gowen Field, ID and El Paso, TX? Probably going to the local weapons ranges to be shot at, since we've been using Russian tanks for target practice for decades, to test the effectiveness of our own weapons.

All in all, this is worth reading for the humor in it. But not worth spending money on. Unfortunately, there's no lower rating you can give than one star, but this one deserves to be in the negative.

Summary: Ahead of its time, a future classic
Review: Before I read this, I was mildly parannoid about the reality of government mind control experiments and the possibility of UN manipulation of the US government. Reading this has changed my opinion entirely. The author relates these things to UFO's and cow mutilations. The content of this book effectively convinced me that the things I was formerly paranoid about are just dillusions cooked up by borderline pshycotic militia-men.

Summary: The future under a New World Order.
Review: I approach this book as an outsider to this genre. I'm not big conspiracy theory buff. I'm not a survivalist. Nor am I a die-hard political fanatic. Like most Americans, I go about my life vaguely aware of what's happening in our government. Given that, I went into this book with an open mind.

Jim Keith, who I find after some research, was one of the leading writers in government activities. With Black Helicopters Over America he raises some interesting questions. What is our military doing? What exactly does the government have in mind for our future? What part does our government play in the political machinations of the United Nations?

Keith lays out the plans for a New World Order. He describes an international police force under U.N. direction. He shows the groundwork for the disarmament of the people and the rights that we could lose in the new world state. Keith also describes a future of concentration camps for those that would speak out against the New World Order.

Black Helicopters is a straightforward book laden with factual events and policies. However, though the events and policies may be factual, the context and details of those entries can sometimes seem questionable. As with most any issue, facts can be arranged to display the picture the writer wants to be seen.

The material in the book is a bit dated. Even though it was published in 1994, events in the book date back as far as the 1950s. Most of the events presented are from the 1970s. This in itself softens the credibility of the text. While writing this review, I did find out that Keith published a follow up book in 1998 titled Black Helicopters II : The End Game Strategy. I would imagine that the follow up takes the reader current, up to 1998. It may be worth the time for interested parties to read this book to see if Keith presents more recent events that would add credibility to his arguments.

If anything, Keith does present enough information to make the reader think. In fact, Keith urges the reader to step back and take at look at the information that is available. In my opinion, the underlying point of Black Helicopters is: To make educated decisions based on researched facts and to understand your government and what it is doing. It is something to think about.

Summary: pretty eye-opening since there is a lot of truth to it
Review: I was at once disappointed and enlightened after reading this book. Disappointed in that I rather enjoyed two of this author's previous books, 'Casebook on Alternative 3' and 'Casebook on Men in Black', (finding them to be well-written and thought-provoking), yet found this title to be the rantings of a paranoid, gun-loving extemist. Mr. Keith diminishes his thesis with the use of such comments as "one of Heather's two mommies might become Attorney General" and referring to Clinton as a "possible Soviet agent". Disappointing also in that there is nothing in the book for those researching the UFO/black helicopter connection. At least I now have a better understanding of what the author is all about, and thus will save my time and money on his recently published 'Black Helicopters...' Vol.2, hence the enlightenment.

Summary: Propaganda for idiots, filled with factual errors
Review: It is such a shame amazon.com doesn't allow for a "bomb" or "zero star" rating, because if ever a book merited one, this would be it.

A friend of mine gave it to me as a joke gift, and I immediately found all the timelines about cattle mutilations, black helicopters, and other urban (rural?) legends to be slightly less interesting than reading the phonebook.

Factual errors include descriptions of the AH-64 Apache helicopter as a "troop transport" (it's an attack helicopter and it cannot hold any troops at all), a reference to the military base at "St John, Canada, near Montreal" (the town is called St-Jean-sur-Richeleu and there hasn't been a base there for years, now it's just an army language school), and descriptions of helicopter crews wearing cowboy hats (what, no helmets or intercom headsets?)...

Summary: Ahead of its time, a future classic
Review: Jim Keith (1949-1999) died suddenly on Sept 7, 1999, as the government was finally revealing it covered up some of the truths of Waco. Most people don't get Keith's writings, that as a reporter he reported, with humor and insights, with tongue-in-cheek intellect. In the future when the mystery of the helicopters, be theyblack, green, or dark blue is revealed, interested historians will refer to this book. Not for the wild theories of UN stormtroopers or other items Keith merely was repeating, but for the fact that things were seen, unknown and unidentified, which may have had a link to missions not yet fully understood. Was there special helicopters over Waco? Yes, of course there was. This book gives a sense that things are happening which may be merely a part of a plan still unexplained today. Unfortunately, Keith will not be around to see his works appreciated within this new enlightenment. That's too bad. And sad.But his books remain, for all to mine for the little gems. Don't be dismayed by the theories. Look at the data.

Summary: Propaganda for idiots, filled with factual errors
Review: To those of you unfamiliar with Jim Keith's books, you will appreciate Keith's incredible facility to see beyond the fact-ridden, and extrapolate hidden agendas within government enterprises, as in this book, you will note that he opens with review of jounralist Ed Sander's insights into the meaning of CATTLE MUTILATIONS within the context of first appearing very close to military base in Colorado, and why Keith dared to mention on his guest appearance on ART BELL talk-show the relevance of many cattle mutilations having been diagnosed with CLOSTRIDIA, and what that microbe means for BIOLOGICALS productions, as noted by famed journalist, RN Joyce Riley of American Gulf War Veteran's Association... and why this news is being suppressed, and why JIM KEITH's books have so much merit in understanding GLOBALISM and all sorts of "hidden agendas". Read ALL of Jim Keith's books, before you think this is all madness and sheer nonsense! JIM KEITH has lots more to say about the "New Order" and the devious machinations ensuing from very greedy people. Keith has tried to expose the nefarious nature of many psy-ops--READ ON!
