About this ebook

The former professional wrestler turned Minnesota governor and New York Times–bestselling author uncovers the truth Uncle Sam is hiding from us.
 
The official spin on numerous government programs is flat-out bullshit, according to Jesse Ventura. In this incredible collection of actual government documents, Jesse Ventura, the ultimate non-partisan truth-seeker, proves it beyond any doubt. He and Dick Russell walk readers through sixty-three of the most incriminating programs to reveal what really happens behind the closed doors. Witness as he breaks open the vault, revealing the truth:
 
  • The CIA’s top-secret program to control human behavior
  • Operation Northwoods—the military plan to hijack airplanes and blame it on Cuban terrorists
  • Potentially deadly health care cover-ups, including a dengue fever outbreak
  • What the Department of Defense knows about our food supply—but is keeping mum
  • Homeland Security’s “emergency” detention camps
  • Fake terrorist attacks planned by the United States
 
Although these documents are now in the public domain, the powers that be would just as soon they stay under wraps. Ventura’s research and commentary sheds new light on what they’re not telling you—and why it matters.

    Audiobook. Interesting, but this is not a scholarly work of investigative journalism. Feels tossed off to make money. De-classified documents introduced very briefly by the author. If you haven't read American Conspiracy, read that instead. It is much better.

    Unlike in his previous book, American Conspiracies, this time around Ventura actually provides documentation in support of his conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, in most cases his conclusions simply don't follow from the documents he presents, and in some cases are outright contradicted by them.Also, some of the documents that he seems to think are the most shocking and to which he devotes a lot of space are really pretty tame, unless you're incredibly naive I guess...for instance, he includes a lengthy transcript of a senate committee hearing with an army doctor about the U.S. military's use of biological and chemical agents (including defoliants) during the Vietnam war---and about the worst thing that actually comes out in the interview is that the army accidentally killed a few sheep in Utah (for which they compensated the owners).He also includes some things that hardly qualify as "documents the government doesn't want you to read"...for instance, the schedule of a conference of free-market advocates, the only really scary thing about which is that Glenn Beck was one of the speakers.Ventura is also rather inconsistent at times. For instance, in American Conspiracies he argued that we should have state-run healthcare---pointing to, as his shining example, the VA system. "If it's good enough for veterans, it should be good enough for the rest of us," he writes...and yet here, after Obamacare was rammed through the Senate, he provides actual documentation of how inefficient and ineffective the VA really is to show what a raw deal the veterans are getting (the document he provides concludes that "the VA is killing veterans slowly through bureaucratic processes," even driving some to suicide...this is what we have to look forward to under Obamacare, folks!). Nice work, Jesse! You can't have it both ways.Despite these and other flaws and shortcomings, however, many of the documents presented here are interesting, and some outrageous, in their own right. For that reason, this book is much better than his previous one, and perhaps worth a read.

    Jesse provides some interesting information. He provides significant portions of the source documents, which verifies much of the accuracy of the concerns associated with the issues. I must admit that although some of it was interesting, other information was not. It is not surprising to me that over the US government's history that a number of dishonorable to illegal activities have occurred. Consider our beginnings by pushing out the rightful inhabitants of North America.

    This book was a really good book in revealing government activity that takes away liberty from the people. I think that we need more books like this, and it is a good reference for specific ways in which our government is getting overgrown. The reason why I only gave this book a three-star rating is because I feel like some of the documents included in the book were not that impressive. There is a lot of evidence out there that shows that the government is infringing on its people, but many of these documents were sometimes poor indicators of that. In other words, there could have been stronger documents included, but for the most part they were good documents.Concept of the book is amazing, but lacking a little on the details.
