Summary: This Book Predicted 9/11!!!
Review: ..or at least predicted that something similar to it would happen. Why? Because what better way for the government to control its people than to have them come running to said government in order to protect them from "hidden menaces" whether they be communists or islamic terrorists? Also, what better way to keep the military-indutstrial complex running than a need to battle these "threats to national security"?

This is a brilliant book, especially in the way it changes its tone; it's dead serious when talking about RFK, JFK, MLK, Malcom X, and Odessa; takes a more humorous tone when discussing NASA, Hemp, and the Masons, and is downright silly when getting into the theory that aliens are our forerunners.

But the serious stuff will definitely make you think and maybe even keep you up nights a la Jim Garrison in "JFK". It's that good. The books it references on conspiracies are highly recommended further reading.

I can't believe that this book is out of print -- or that copies now cost upwards of $50! Could it be...a conspiracy?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Talk About a Slam-Bang Get-Right-to-It Page Turner
Review: Awesome. You'd be surprised at how effective presenting the conspiracies in comic book form makes it a quick and fascinating read.

Oh, and did I say "horrifying"! Some of the best explanations of the RFK, JFK and King assassinations I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. I definitely had a chill after reading some of them because they make a lot of sense.

This could be the companion book to Mel Gibson's character in "Conspiracy Theory." Or the X-Files.

Great stuff and an occasional comic tone that hits at just the right time.

Highest recommendation. More serious than you think. You will definitely start re-thinking a bunch of things. I'm getting the other books in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: (Not So) Funnies for the Paranoid
Review: Comic strip depictions of most of the popular fields of debate over what is and isn't real. The JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations, lunar missions, the "pyramids" on Mars, UFO's and the USAF, the mysteries around Jim Morrison's death, Masonic memberships, globalist conspiracy plots, the gang's all here, folks! This book will throw a fresh monkey wrench into the gears of your mind. Just ignore that man on the grassy knoll and those black helicopters hovering over your house and buy this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: frighteningly enjoyable
Review: Doug Moench has really produced a very fine, entertaining, thought-provoking, not overly fantastic survey of that hot topic, conspiracy theories. The various artists definitely help out too, providing alternately sinister and amusing visual accompaniment to the narrative. Some of the more off-the-wall entries focus on Jim Morrison's perhaps faked death and his subsequent intelligence activities (!), the supposedly faked moon landing, and Robert Lazar's tall tales about flying saucers at secret air force bases in Nevada. More sinister, and credible, theories focus on various assassinations and government coverups from the Cold War era, including the Kennedy assassinations, CIA ties to former Nazis, and various LSD/mind control experiments. Moench knowingly mixes the outlandish and hilarious with darker stuff that we don't want to believe, but that the reader starts to think after a while could have some truth to it after all. Easily the best entry in the Paradox Press "big book" series in terms of entertainment value, and it also deserves credit for (fairly) seriously surveying this fascinating material, some of which should be more openly discussed. Read it with the lights on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eye Opener..Eye Popper
Review: Excellent, hip, compelling, with some great comic book illustration. Lots of fun to read, the book pulled me in and I couldn't put it down. Makes a great gift, and it can be enjoyed by both seasoned conspiracy theorists and newbies. Very informative too, with lots of historical interest. Labeled Conspiracy Theory yes, but probably has some elements of truth. Fascinating!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a conspiracy!
Review: Great fun! Paranoia! Humor! Factoids! This book is one of the best comic format books I've ever read. The conspiracy theories ring true. How much is really fact, no one will ever know. But you have fun wondering, and maybe you will do further research based upon this book. The art is inspired. Each artist puts their own stamp on the theme. All black and white. If you ever had a hankering to learn more about the various conspiracy theories, especially those surrounding JFK-get this book. You will be informed and entertained at the same time. Just remember, "Trust no one"!

Summary: The Paranoiac's Bible
Review: Haven't you ever wondered what goes on behind closed doors? This book gives you a glimpse of what might have gone on before every assassination and secret society creation. Paradox Press does it again, and this time, they'll make you laugh, cry, get mad, get scared and/or think. First, look over your shoulder, then look into this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think they're after me for reading this book.
Review: Man! Paranoid fantasies don't come any weirder than this book. I've never seen a collection of conspiracy theories and revelations anywhere near this in scope and presentation. Presented in traditional comics format by a variety of artists, we're on a guided tour with a mysterious man in black specs who walks us through the Kennedy and King assasinations, UFOS, the founding of America by the Freemasons and any number of mysterious deaths of witnesses for any of the above. Fascinatng! This is enough conspiracy theory for another 20 years of X-files. Great job to Doug Moench and his art team!
