THE CONSPIRACY THEORY

Ahem, Frankie didn't shine because at the time, Frankie's labelmate, Maxwell, was Columbia's (Sony's) focus (Even Maxwell didn't take off when Til The Cops Come Knockin' dropped in early 1996 - it took the 2nd single, Somethin' Somethin' to blow that cat up.  And what also hurt Frankie is that he sounds similar to Maxwell, but is more like a contemporary R&B dude as Maxwell was more like a Neo-soul/R&B dude.  Kenny Lattimore and Ginuwine were Sony's focus at the time too, and even Puff Johnson's Miracle CD succumbed to due to A&R changes at the label too.  So Puff and Frankie dropped their CD at a bad time.

Unity shall strengthen us, and hence, if we keep supporting and "b_tchin'" that "su disco se falt" (his record got dissed), then Sony will re-release and capitalize off of this joint.

Chunky Thompson, I met your A&R dude from NY at the Howard University talent show last year, and ya niggas didn't call me back.

You know I got beats, man; but you fronted.  But regardlessly, thank you for putting out a wonderful talent named Frankie.  Don't forget about another unsung talent by the name of Kenny "G-Love" Greene (R.I.P.) from the group INTRO.

One love!

izzy.

OKAY, ALL MY PARANOID FRIENDS! WHERE IS YOUR PROOF? A SO-CALLED "SECRET SERVICE STAND-DOWN" VIDEO? WHY WASN'T THE PRESIDENT ASSASSINATED ON THE TARMAC?? IT'S INTERESTING THAT OTHER REVIEWS CONTAIN THE REMARKS OF FORMER CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, BUT NOT FORMER LONE ASSASSIN ADHERENTS. COULD THAT BE BECAUSE THE FORMER CT'ERS READ THE MATERIAL AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEIR BELIEFS IN A MASSIVE ASSASSINATION CONSPIRACY WERE RIDICULOUS? I'VE READ ALL OF THE CT REMARKS, AND I'VE YET TO READ ONE THAT PROVES ANYTHING OTHER THAN THERE ARE MANY DYSFUNCTIONAL, PARANOID PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION WITH THEIR FANTASIES OF CONSPIRACY BY UNNAMED, WICKED, EVIL ORGANIZATIONS. STOP TELLING US TO WATCH THE VIDEO, FOOLS. MAYBE THE REASON YOU'RE INTELLECTUALLY WEAK IS THAT YOU WATCH TOO MANY VIDEOS. TRY PICKING UP A GOOD BOOK, LIKE "CASE CLOSED", SOMETIME.

Took great liberties with fact. Another load of conspiracy theory. I wonder if these people are mentally ill or just blatant racists. Maybe a little of both lots of conjecture and no truth. Let us not forget Goehrmet  told us from Congress the other day " the only way to know the truth was to only listen to Trump"  What adult with a rational mind says something like that.

I will admit that I love a good conspiracy theory and/or cover up and this book tells the story of five celebrities or well known people in the public eye that have died in suspicious circumstances  Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.

I think these are quite possibly five of the most well-known deaths due to the mystery that surrounds them and I have read about the theories before but it is always good to get a different slant on them and to see if anything new is released or reported.

This book was easy to follow and there were a few allegations that were new to me but a lot of them were ones that have been touted around for several years now. It was still a great read though.

Four stars from me for this one  it does make you really wonder what the truth is and what has been held back from us, is everything as it seems and as it was reported an enjoyable read!

These modern conspiracy theories are nothing more than the latest manifestation of magical thinking.  Humanity has enslaved itself to superstitious nonsense since it crawled down from the trees. The brain stitches together accidents and coincidences into convincing patterns to support its notions of unseen demons of the spirit world.  Just so, the modern conspirators are equally hidden and mysterious, and invariably interconnected by a byzantine network of coincidences and apparent chains of cause and effect.  This is likely due to our origin as scared monkeys trembling at the unseen leopard, imagining threats at every turn.  Don't be scared monkeys!  The author has spun his tale so thick he's lost in his own web.  Where is the author's skepticism of his own skepticism?  As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".  Where is the evidence?  No doubt, it was destroyed with 100% efficiency by the unidentifiable conspirators.  Where are the whistle blowers?  Every one is cowed by threats of death, no doubt.  I believe there may also be elements of racism involved in this.  These conspiracy theorists can't believe that Arabs could possibly execute such a complex plot without the assistance of the white man, or worse yet, being mere dupes of the white man.

As an exercise in creative writing, it's quite entertaining, but a product of reason it is not.  How easily we might slip back into the dark ages.

Great book to read and discuss...in the age of mass manipulation and mind control posed by the lack of education and the rising influence of the media, it great to have people discuss the roots of this matter, even if they are conspiracy theorists...or scholars

If it walks like a conspiracy, talks like a conspiracy, and acts like a conspiracy, it is very possible that we might have a conspiracy.  The apologists of the status quo, particularly the Bushies and the corporate establishment to which they are beholden, seek to ridicule books like this and say they are all part of an absurd conspiracy syndrome.  What they fervently hope is that you will not dare read them.  Had enough Americans read this sizzler it is entirely possible that Bush Junior's forces may not have been close enough on election night to remain within stealing distance of the presidential election, finally achieved through the legal prostitution of Federal Society cronies, including one subservient Uncle Tom with a penchant for Rush Limbaugh, namely Clarence Thomas.
When you read this book you wonder long and hard about whether this was really such an unfortunate coincidence that Bush Sr. in his mudslinging 1988 campaign had ardent Nazis working in his minorities division.  It was only when Congressman Stephen Solarz and others sniffed the foul odor and rose up in indignation that the elder Bush expressed dismay and dismissed the miscreants, expressing shock in the process.
Just rewind from 1988 to Tarpley's analysis of how the Bush family got rolling in the banking business, with juicy contracts with the Nazis and strengthening of the Third Reich war machine through loans and subsequent sales for pig iron.  Then there was that strange society that still remains, and which Poppy and Junior both belonged to at Yale, along with William F. Buckley Jr., "Skull and Bones."  Just a few harmless fraternity pranksters?  I doubt it.  Check out the records of the members through the years and observe all the hellish havoc they have reeked on America and throughout various portions of the world.  It all happened by accident?  Hardly.  Yes, well, it might actually be a conspiracy!  But conspiracies don't exist.  Ask any loyal Bushie.
This book has become an underground classic and rightfully so.  Its author knows literally where certain bodies are buried vis-a-vis the Bush clan and is not afraid to reveal the facts.  Thank God there are a few people out there like Tapley who will not be intimidated and continue to speak the truth no matter what the potential consequences might be.

A good read for anyone but especially for this who are "conspiracy theory" minded.  I didn't look to see when the book was written but it could be from recent news stories.  Good plot, good characters and paved well.

I think you'll found the book to be enlightening if you're willing to stick with the lengthy, in depth review of the facts. The documentation supporting the claims looks to be veridical. It will still require a leap of faith that the conclusions you may draw are real. I for one believe that this is another step towards the truth. My conclusion is that aliens are here and our government is going to great lengths to protect us from the truth, fearful that we can't handle the truth. Or, it might be that the aliens are cooperating with the military, industrial complex to obscure their presence for reasons we don't know or understand. In any case the book makes a good case that we are not alone.

The evidence is presented in a manner that brings the reader to draw conclusively that there was far more involved than what was fed to the American people as the "official" version of events and facts. The ramifications and implications point increasingly to conspiracy by an all- powerful, self- serving echelon of military and government elite, a " rogue" faction tailoring and manipulating events to perpetuate itself in the vein of some of the most frightening Hollywood fiction. And where does that leave us today?

As the 15th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, this interesting book is worth a read, and consideration. The theory of this book goes well beyond the traditional 9/11 conspiracy, indicating three levels of involvement in the crime, with each layer protecting the one above it.

You may not agree with all of the conclusions of this book, but it is certainly great food for thought.

Even though this was a clear presentation of every right wing-nut conspiracy theory, it was still entertaining reading. However It is still scary to think that actual people believe this stuff.

Im only halfway through. So far, it's a BIG blowout of every conspiracy known to man! Aliens, government coverups, Bigfoots, occultism, Native American shamanism and even a bit of Gnosticism thrown in for good measure!  The only thing I dislike is the usual love story cliche that seems to be in everything these days, even when it could do better without it (sort of like high fructose corn syrup). No need for a love story with all these other goodies going on! In fact, a love story only detracts from the rest.

The subject matter of Mr. Icke's book, "And the Truth Shall Set You Free", is one of great conspiracy.  Conspiracy of many "clubs" and organizations in the world to create a one-world government, currency, and army.  Mr. Icke tends to get his reader bogged down in the minute detail of names and dates and places where the beginning and execution of this plan are conspired. He also comes at the subject with a decidedly esoteric, New Age "religion" point of view.
The information in the book is interesting to know.  But, if you become easily angered by things out of your control, don't read this book.

I read the original printing back in the 80's. It formed my entire attitude about Global Government
and the plans they make for all humanity. It clearly illuminates how we are being manipulated
and deceived...it is all truly a Conspiracy and has been since our earliest years as a new nation.

Imagine a conspiracy so large that it encompasses smaller conspiracies within it. Imagine if you will that this conspiracy is designed for mass consumption. How would it be done? Firstly, by writing in a style that appeals to the masses. Simple & tasty with an aroma that you can smell at every corner. Sound familiar? But what would this conspiracy be? The search for the grail? Think bigger; a global spirituality, a new age of Aquarius, where sexual freedom not only prevails, but is lifted to religious status as it was in the late great empire of Babylon. A Global Babylon. Now who says sex doesn't sell?  But how could this be achieved? Most religions are based on pesky starchy ideals of morality, ethics & age tested regulations. My how those regulations are boring. Law! So let's start with turning common symbolism on its head. First we get the pentagram, the collectively universal symbol for Satanism & magiK & carefully reconstruct it to mean `sacred'. That's a good start. We then sprinkle in some obvious & rallying facts like Women are equal opposites to men; in fact let's make them superior (lets face it); & how hierarchical church structures removed the spirituality out of religion & murdered millions in the name of God. (Who can deny that?)  Then carefully weave Aquarian age Goddess symbology into the story & back it up by `suppressed history', wooooo! That will supplant most `Gods' with a hyper politically correct Goddess, as we've been trying to do for a while. Then subtly shift the Goddess to be Venus, the morning star, represented by the pentagram it apparently weaves through the heavens every 8 years. We leave out the messy bits like how Lucifer (Satan) was symbolized by the planet Venus in the Bible,(Isaiah 14:12, King James Version, not the New International one. You want a real life conspiracy? Work out why they took the name Lucifer out of the New version of the Bible) but sidetrack the whole show with `Jesus was just one of us really - divine? NAHHH'.  This will appeal to all who want their spirituality but want to mould it in their own image. Hey. Isn't that New Age? Anyway, if you like to turn off your mind and accept stuff, you'll LUV this. The kid below did.
