American Conspiracies

Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies That the Government Tells

De: Jesse Ventura, Dick Russell

Narrado por: George K. Wilson

In this explosive account of wrongful acts and ongoing cover-ups, Jesse Ventura takes a systematic look at the wide gap between what the American government knows and what it reveals to the American people.

For too long, we the people have sat by and let politicians and bureaucrats from both parties obfuscate and lie. And according to this former Navy SEAL, former pro wrestler, and former Minnesota governor, the media is complicit in these acts of deception. For too long, the mainstream press has refused to consider alternate possibilities and to ask the tough questions. Here, Ventura looks closely at the theories that have been presented over the years and separates the fact from the fiction.

In Ventura's eyes, the murder of Abraham Lincoln and the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King all need to be reexamined. Was Watergate presented honestly, or was the CIA involved? Did the Republican Party set out to purposefully steal two elections on behalf of George W. Bush? Has all the evidence been presented about the 9/11 attacks, or is there another angle that the media is afraid to explore? And finally, is the collapse of today's financial order and the bailout plan by the Federal Reserve the widest-reaching conspiracy ever perpetrated?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“If you're talking outspoken, unconventional, and no-holds-barred, you're talking Jesse Ventura.” (Larry King)

Surprisingly good

I was rather skeptical to this book, in particular having seen one episode of the poorely produced TV show with the same topic. However, right away this book get into analysis and reflections that were amazingly interesting. There are no hard claims of this and that, but constant appeal to probabilities, reasoning and the rationality against the official explanations and 'truth'. Truly an eye opener and it gives food for reflections and though. It is far from the platitudes one (may) expect from this author. I highly recommend it to the politically and historically interested, being it Republican or Democrat, left or right on the political scale.

Nicely done

What did you love best about American Conspiracies?

I liked the way the author ties together the history of conspiracies and events which show a cohesive picture of what really happened over our recent past.

What did you like best about this story?

All of it.

Which scene was your favorite?

The 9/11 portion of the book made so much sense based on only facts that it begs the re-opening of a real investigation however it would also reveal a deeper motivation and agenda.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Look Under the Stones

Any additional comments?

I would have appreciated a more unbiased review of recent politics as it is clear the author favors a Democrat over Republican slant. A bias of "our side" vs. "their side" is moot considering the subject matter. In addition it comes across as somewhat disingenuous as Obama is obviously a socialist and continuing the decline of the consitution building on the actions of all the past offenders.

Clear and concise.

Jesse the Body Ventura, laid out a very direct, and well thought out approach for this book. I researched a lot of what was said, and it all can be researched on your own. I of course did not do all that for that is I purchased the download. Unfortunately for the U.S citizens this stuff could make you lose sleep. This book is very direct and easy to follow. It does cover a lot of information but definitely worth the listen.

very informing

this book will open your eyes to what is going on behind the scenes. he was governor of Minnesota has worked in politics

Jesse--True or no

Where does American Conspiracies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

His is the only one. He's very believable and makes good rational sense. He seems to research his topics well, but there will always be that tiny seed of doubt if the information he received was accurate.

What did you like best about this story?

His concern about the truth getting to the people. He is very passionate about what he does and that shows a lot about the book he wrote.

Which character – as performed by George K. Wilson – was your favorite?

No favorites.

If you could give American Conspiracies a new subtitle, what would it be?

Truth to the people about the people in power.

Any additional comments?

I always enjoyed his TV show. He. was just so gruff and showed so much power in getting the information he needed, nothing seemed to stop him. Yes, I realize it was a TV show and they have to add a bit of glitz of some kind to sell it to the network, but I believe most of his was dead on. I wish they would bring it back.

Very entertaining

I'm a Ventura fan. It's a good book with his own research & drawn conclusions from his research. If you're interested in fact over opinion, then give it a try!

Jesse still has a LOT to learn!

I've loved Jesse since his wrestling days... he still doesn't realize that ALL government is corrupt, not just the republicans. He really needs to get past his "left vs right" paradigm... it's outdated and proven to be a smoke screen! They're all puppets for the globalist NWO cabal! I hope since this was released, Jesse has awakened to the fact the both parties work together to form the "uniparty" and they will work to enslave us however they can.

Interesting

Great book, very interesting BUT the narrator is so boring and monotone. This book could have kept my attention 100% more with a lively narrator.

to monotone reading

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

might be better if I could read it myself, but eye sight doesn't allow for it.

What other book might you compare American Conspiracies to and why?

can not think of any. I like mysteries and books that make me able visulize the action.

What aspect of George K. Wilson’s performance would you have changed?

what wouldn't I have

Could you see American Conspiracies being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

not at all

Any additional comments?

no

Interesting but not balanced...

Makes a non left or right topic to political. Too much bashing of the right (which is deserving at times) and many excuses for the left. These facts made me wonder if there is a conspiracy by the author to put too much blame on the right... Without this obvious bias, great book that WILL make you think...
