American conspiracies Lies, lies, and more dirty lies that the government tells us

Jesse Ventura

Book - 2010

Jesse Ventura takes a systematic look at the gap between what the American government knows and what it reveals to the American people. 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.--From publisher description.

Review by Booklist Review

Former Minnesota governor, navy SEAL, and pro rassler Ventura has a new truTVshow investigating but not necessarily debunking conspiracy theories. This companion to the program, a sort of teaser, dissects such famed objects of unending speculation as the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations. Ventura concludes that none of those were twisted-loner crimes but rather resulted from conspiracies of varying vastness. Anent the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Ventura asserts that our government engaged in a massive cover-up and had ties to the hijackers. He ventures that unanswered questions remain about how the towers were brought down and whether a plane really struck the Pentagon and that the Bush Administration either knew about the plan or had a hand in it. Heady, paranoiac stuff, to be sure, but there are even more forthright charges regarding the assassination of Malcolm X, the Jonestown massacre, and the stolen elections of 2000, 2004, 2008, and, for that matter, 1980. Believable? Some of it. An action-packed read? You bet.--Tribby, Mike Copyright 2010 Booklist
