Book excerpt: In today's world conspiracy theories abound. What is the actual history of false flags, state secrets, and government deceptions, both in the U.S. and abroad? Both admitted to and those still obscure and under investigation. The book gives the short history. Pre-publication readers say: "This book made me more aware of the news process, and who is spinning what, and for whom." "There is no such thing as a 'book that everyone should read' but this comes close. I am recommending it to all my friends and family." "After reading more than 60 case histories here, the patterns emerge, whatever the nation, whatever the situation. One can begin to connect the dots, and even predict the future, to some extent."
