American Conspiracies

Just finished reading Jesse Ventura's latest book, American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us.

Ventura makes compelling cases for orchestrated conspiracies such as the assassinations of JFK, Malcolm X, MLK and RFK; the October Surprise re the Iranian hostages; stolen elections of 2000 & 2004; 9/11; the Wall Street "collapse"; and the "Secret Plans to End American Democracy."

Jesse effectively dredges up all the sordid details that we absent-mindedly forget or consciously choose to overlook. We may be in charge of our individual destinies, but "we the people" are certainly not in charge of our country or government.

If the Tea Partiers were not surreptitious captives of our corporate puppet masters, they could be useful.

If you want to get pissed off after having been pissed on for so long, read this book. And I wonder, where have all the statesmen gone?
