Cover-Ups & Secrets: The Complete Guide to Government Conspiracies, Manipulations & Deceptions
More and more people are beginning to realize that we are being manipulated and lied to. We are denied access to secrets that shouldn't be secrets. Our politicians obfuscate, deny, and outright lie. No one knows whom to trust. The nightly news is being replaced by carefully orchestrated propaganda. Our iPhones are monitored as are our laptops and our landlines. As for social media, that too is ripe for spying by men in black suits. No wonder, then, that the last few years have seen an incredible rise in conspiracy theories about deceptions and cover-ups. They range from the controversial to the shocking and from the nightmarish to the downright terrifying. From the dark agendas to restrict our access to the Internet and even ban books to suppressing cancer cures to ensure the pharmaceutical industry continues to reap gigantic profits and the murder of politicians, scientists, world leaders, and even Princess Diana in the name of national security, this book reveals dozens of nefarious conspiracies, plots, hidden agendas, and betrayals.

Love a good yarn and Redfern has them in spades. Entertaining and thought provoking but also frightening and depressing. You should read a safe, comforting childrens book after to recuperate any sanity you have left :P

An entertaining book to listen to. I used an audiobook. However, a lot of the same stories that have been repeated in countless documentaries and books over the years. Well organized and well written. Honestly, many of the people referenced in this book just allow their imagination to get the best of them and prove over and over again that they lack common sense or any scientific understanding.
But I don’t regret reading this.

Entertaining. It was like watching an afternoon of Ancient Aliens. There was some repetition throughout the book that made me think these pieces might have first been published separately, but it was fun.
