Featuring profiles of Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines, and other archaeological mysteries, Impossible Truths shines a startling new light on the true relationship between alien species and humankind. 

Facts are and must be the coin of the realm in a democracy. Unfortunately, for citizens in the United States and throughout the world, distinguishing between fact and fiction - always a formidable challenge - is now more difficult than ever, as a constant stream of questionable information pours into media outlets. Lewis argues forcefully that while data points and factoids abound, it is much harder to get to the whole truth of complex issues in time for that truth to guide citizens, voters, and decision makers.

Over recent decades the proliferation of conspiracy theories has fueled alternative explanations and false narratives for events and circumstances, influencing minds around the globe. While some turn out to be true, others turn out to be driven by an agenda created for monetary or political gain. Who really killed JFK? Is Covid-19 a Chinese bioweapon? Was Princess Diana murdered? Were the Moon landings hoaxed? Were the 911 attacks an inside plot by government factions? Conspiracy Machine examines the validity of these theories.

David Harsanyi delves into the mindset of people who think Republicans would usher in the Handmaid's Tale and who compare Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a pro-Nazi rally held there eight decades earlier. In The Rise of BlueAnon, David Harsanyi reveals how the left has been consumed by a...

Everyone loves a good conspiracy. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention. And they are not always a harmless curiosity. In Suspicious Minds, Rob Brotherton explores the history and consequences of conspiracism, and delves into the research that offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and unproveable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain's built-in quirks and foibles, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears, and assumptions about the world.  

It's tempting to think that we live in an unprecedentedly fertile age for conspiracy theories, with seemingly each churn of the news cycle bringing fresh manifestations of large-scale paranoia. But the sad fact is that these narratives of suspicion - and the delusional psychologies that fuel them - have been a constant presence in American life for nearly as long as there's been an America. In this sweeping book, Thomas Milan Konda traces the country's obsession with conspiratorial thought from the early days of the republic to our own anxious moment. 

Aliens and UFOs are visiting Earth as evidenced by recent military leaks, but what we don't know is what the extraterrestrials want and why they are here. Some believe they continue to keep a careful watch over the progress of mankind, others believe their intentions are truly sinister. With the recent military video leaks, it's clear the ultrasonic spacecraft exhibit mind-blowing abilities that defy our current laws of physics and current scientific paradigms.

For decades, world governments have lied to the people about the alien presence on Earth. Project Blue Book was reportedly closed down in 1969, but the discovery of the AATP program dispels any notion that the military and ruling powers of the US and other nations aren't interested in UFOs. Now with verified video of UFOs from military sources, it's time to explore the truth and why the ruling factions have been deceiving us since the early '40s, even before Roswell.

From rap artists wearing the all seeing eye around their necks, to multi-million-dollar movies, the enigmatic and elusive secret society we know as the Illuminati has held us captive for decades. We are told they originated in the 18th century, but the truth is much older than that. Who are they? What powerful secrets do they hold? When and where did they originate? They run governments, companies, and religions. Their names have changed over hundreds of years, their faces altered but their secrets remain the same.

From the dawn of mankind, there have been groups with the power and intent to manipulate the masses to their end game of control and dominance over all humanity. Over the centuries, there have been elite brotherhoods that have developed incredibly subtle, complex ways to manipulate the people. As populations grew so did the quest for power and the need to create new, improved methods of control.
