I have come here purely because EVERYWHERE are the fuck ass spam comments promoting this book.

Doubt any of the 5 star chatgpt ahh reviews can be trusted, this author needs to stop being so fucking annoying with his bots

[Eaz · Rating 1 out of 5]

The Silent Dominion reads less like a cohesive book and more like a curated compilation of scattered information. Much of its content feels familiar—material that can easily be found in news articles, Wikipedia pages, or surface-level online research—repackaged under a single title.

While the subject matter itself may be intriguing, the execution lacks depth and original analysis. Instead of developing a clear thesis or offering new insights, the book often feels like a series of loosely connected summaries. At times, it’s hard to tell whether I’m reading a serious, well-researched work or listening to an early-stage podcast episode still finding its voice.

This isn’t necessarily a bad introduction for readers completely new to the topic, but for anyone expecting rigorous argumentation, fresh perspectives, or academic weight, The Silent Dominion may feel underwhelming.

DON'T BUY

[L.E Earwicker · Rating 1 out of 5]

Any book worth its weight doesn’t need multiple bots promoting it on a TikTok video reporting on pedophilia in the church.

The fact that this author needs the bots tells me that it’s not a good book.

[Dragonstar · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a terrible marketing plan - to spam social media nonstop in comments sections by bots. Shame on the author. Half these reviews are probably bots too.

[Tom Peck · Rating 1 out of 5]

This author and publishing group engage in a bot farm advertising campaign across all social media platforms. I will not read this book, and do not recommend you do either

[Mark Battle · Rating 5 out of 5]

his isn’t “conspiracy talk.” It’s a breakdown of how power actually functions — education, politics, medicine, tech. Everything connects in a way that makes uncomfortable sense.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK

There’s nothing presented in this book that isn’t discussed with more depth and detail elsewhere. Deeply disappointing content that reads like AI generated notes, and has about the same amount of substance. Completely lacking in nuance and complexity while somehow constantly trying to allude with Biblical teachings in the laziest way. Most of it is garbage.

I suspect this is apart of a Russian psy-op. Really hoping for some fresh ideas but it’s all stuff someone that might read this would already know.

Pretty good section of debt and global finance though.

After reading The Silent Dominion, scrolling social media feels different. You start noticing how everything is engineered to keep you occupied. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t leave your mind even after you close it.

[Blake Weaver · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s short but heavy. You won’t find motivation here — you’ll find awareness. The kind that makes you see how deep the control goes, even in things you thought were harmless.

[Hannah · Rating 1 out of 5]

never in my whole life have i given a book one star. this book is the equivalent of AI generated slop, and does not teach anyone anything we didn’t already know. it reads like a delusional facebook mum who has never had an original thought.

its the reason men shouldnt be allowed to just write this shit with no editing… they think everything they touch turns to gold. these deep intellectual thoughts that damien cross thinks are gotcha moments, are the same thoughts that me and my friends discussed at our year 9 sleepover. not groundbreaking, not shocking or stunning, just boring and full of subtle right wing ideologies that created the world damien cross complains of in the first place.

HARD PASS.

Awful

[Kevin Tate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Halfway through I stopped reading and just stared at the wall. The part about technology and media really got me. It’s not paranoia — it’s observation turned into evidence.

[Lamont Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read dozens of books on corruption, control, and hidden agendas, but this one feels personal. Damian Cross writes like someone who’s lived through the machine and escaped.

[Vincent C · Rating 5 out of 5]

If someone asked me to describe it in one line, I’d say: “short, sharp, and painfully true.” It’s one of those books you lend to a friend with a warning — “this might mess with your head a bit.”

[Amanda Baron · Rating 1 out of 5]

Spamming copy and paste comments into TikTok video comment sections to sell your book is beyond pathetic and proves how terrible this slop is.

[MxMorden]

I haven't read this book and I have no intention of reading this book, so I won't rate it, but holy fucking shit, STOP WITH THE SPAMMING IN ALL OF THE COMMENT SECTIONS ON TIKTOK.

[Tabitha Black-Scott · Rating 2 out of 5]

The information was factual and had receipts. This may be an eye opener for someone that is naive to the world.

There was obviously no editor, there are many errors in spelling and grammar.

[Reader · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read: Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Foucault, “New Jim Crow”, “Omnivores Dilemma”, any book on the corruption of the health insurance industry, any book by a scientist explaining why cancer is such a wide ranging and difficult disease to “cure”, read “Strongmen” and books that expose corrupt politicians like Donald Trump and the danger of the billionaire class, just read widely and inform yourself. This book will not do that!

Warning! Read this book with caution!

Don’t get me wrong: there’s obviously problems with social media and our addiction to and being influenced by big tech and media; big pharma; outsized monied interests in our education system; the U.N.’s inconsistencies…
But the danger with a book like this is that
1. Its not actually very informative, it doesnt uncover anything we don’t know from a simple internet search. It is NOT well researched by someone with expertise on any of the topics. The author even states on his facebook page he wants people to “stop believing experts”. That is dangerous. I want to live in a world where “experts” help making choices based on reasoned and studied decisions.

2. It ties together ideas that lead to bigger problems: distrust of public education; distrust of medical (and by extension science) institutes; fear of Global Overlords… you get where I’m going.

You don’t have to look far to see this sort of influence from a book like this: one commenter talks about how this chaotic world felt manipulated, and boom, this book explains it all, like: all the money in the cancer research with so little to show for it, now we know why! Good thing I home school my kids!

This book is for the ignorant, for the confused, for the afraid and will groom them for the Maga movement.

I would highly recommend avoiding this book unless you want to study misinformation and (not so) subtle, right wing (disguised as “question the status quo”) influence.

[Ericka · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is, in my understanding, the author’s interpretation of the educational systems in China and Africa, as well as his views on the exponential growth of modern technology and the unproductive effects he believes it has on everyday life. He also shares his perspective on corruption within the pharmaceutical industry.
The author delves into current political events, attempting to explain why and how various countries have contributed to the chaos humanity is currently experiencing. It is not a conspiracy book per se, since most of what he discusses concerns “secrets” that are, in his view, hidden in plain sight. Rather, he is expressing his point of view based on the conclusions of his research.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that some of his writing carried a tone of aggressiveness, perhaps even anger.

[Jeebstar · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Silent Dominion: Unmasking the System is a bold, eye-opening masterpiece that dares to reveal the truth hidden beneath the surface of society. From the very first chapter, it grips you with its fearless analysis and powerful insights. The author doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable realities instead, they dive straight into them, unmasking the systems of control, manipulation, and silence that shape our lives. This isn’t just a book it’s a wake-up call. Every page is filled with thought-provoking commentary and real-world relevance that challenges the reader to think deeper, question more, and never accept things at face value. A must-read for anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, misleading world.

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

General Thoughts: The writing in this book is very aggressive and cynical. Especially reading certain chapters, I felt this author was a bit closed minded and not considering other view points.

Writing Style: 2/5 - Very aggressive and cynical. It was hard to read because of that at times. I felt attacked during certain chapters. It also felt like there wasn’t a steady theme throughout. The chapters’ topics jumped around.

Content: 4/5 - While I had problems with the writing style, I thought the content was solid. It covered a lot of different things.

Enjoyment: 3/5 - It was hard to enjoy parts with the tone of the writing, but other chapters I did enjoy.

[Wesson · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Shelly T · Rating 5 out of 5]

The phrase ‘The Silent Dominion: Unmasking the System’ is powerful and compelling. It immediately sparks curiosity and creates a sense of depth and mystery. The contrast between ‘silent’ and ‘dominion’ gives it an intriguing tension, suggesting hidden power, unseen forces, or a quiet but formidable influence. ‘Unmasking the system’ adds a bold, rebellious edge that promises insight, truth-seeking, and revelation. Altogether, it feels like the title of a thought-provoking work that challenges norms and invites readers to look beneath the surface. Strong, evocative, and memorable.

The wording is bold without being loud, making it feel intelligent and intentional. It suggests a narrative—or message—that is both reflective and empowering, inviting people to question what they think they know. Overall, it’s a captivating and thought-provoking title that sets the stage for something meaningful and impactful.

[Debora G · Rating 5 out of 5]

What I love most about The Silent Dominion is its ability to expose deep truths without sounding preachy. The author strikes the perfect balance between passion and research. The writing is crisp, engaging, and filled with purpose. It gave me chills at times, reading how much of what we accept as “normal” is actually built on layers of manipulation and silence. This book doesn't just tell a story it reveals the system we live in.

[Brooklyn Lowe · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a pretty basic read of what “Freedom” or the idea of freedom looks like. It shows and provides examples of freedom technology, education, political truth, money and identity & truth. How there is really no freedom. It felt like there was an underlying need for God and Christianity. The author does say he isn’t left or right, just wants to show you how these systems don’t provide our freedoms and we really aren’t free.

[Deniz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book isn’t about conspiracies for the sake of thrill — it’s a deeply rooted exploration of how control works behind the scenes. The writing is calm, clear and unnervingly honest. Reading it made me question what I accept as ‘normal,’ and that introspection stayed with me long after I closed the cover. Powerful, thought-provoking, and quietly disturbing — in the best way.”

[Evelyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

went into this expecting a typical ‘tell-all’ book about control and manipulation. What I got was far deeper. The Silent Dominion doesn’t shout its message — it shows it through connections between politics, media, technology and daily life. It doesn’t offer easy answers, but it forces you to think. One of the few books that lingers long after reading.

[Oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short, sharp and unflinching — The Silent Dominion delivers a heavy dose of truth with minimal fluff. Damian Cross doesn’t sensationalize; he presents unsettling ideas plainly, making them all the more chilling. If you want a book that challenges the system and challenges your own assumptions, this one is a must-read.
