Rating: Summary: Damn they're probably watching! Review: This is the first and only (to date) conspiracy theory book that I've read. There's not too much I can say about this book other than the fact that it does a good and varied exploration of conspiracy theories. It is in alphabetical order and cross-references back to other entries for further clarification. It is not a book to be read from cover to cover; rather it should be used as a reference.

Prepare to be enthralled and sucked into the Paranoid world of Conspiracy Theory.All the "Secret Societies," supposed CIA / FBI "cover-ups," assassinations, occult groups, mind control scenarios, banking, NWO, UFO-related, "regression therapy" theories, delusions and confusions you can handle. This book is an Amazing collection of all the most popular Conspiracies, urban myths, paranoid delusions, Cult Weirdness and valid info, imaginable. It's up to YOU to decipher the Truth from the fiction.... R.A.W. just lays the info on the table--You sort it out.

Two thumbs-up to R.A.W. * Note: OTO, Thelema, Sub-Genius & Discordian members will treasure this book, forever.... & F&AM members will enjoy it, if they have a sense of humor <g>
Rating: Summary: A fun read Review: Wilson and co-author Hill present a breezy overview of conspiracy thinking that is concise and entertaining even if it is not comprehensive. A novice to the world of conspiracy, I enjoyed starting with an entry and following the cross-references around the book. The JFK assassination, UFOs, organized religion, the Council on Foreign Relations, the plan to genetically engineer a flying elephant--it's all here. Even if you, like me, believe that conspiracy enthusiasts are out to lunch, you may find something here to give you pause. For me, it was the suspicious information regarding the US currency and Constitution.
