Above Top Secret: Uncover the Mysteries of the Digital Age
"Marrs is sensible and straightforward, giving every side of disputed questions." - Publishers Weekly
The Federal Reserve Is A Scam!
(and eighteen other contemporary conspiracies from the Internet)
Thousands, if not millions, of people versed in online discussions were not the least bit surprised by the current global economic meltdown. These are the people who have been collaborating and sharing information on a fraudulent financial system for years.
Now, for the first time ever, the world's most acclaimed conspiracy author examines this and eighteen other conspiracies pulled from the collective wisdom of the online crowd. In Above Top Secret: Uncover The Mysteries Of The Digital Age, author Jim Marrs, working with the thousands of contributors from AboveTopSecret.com, provides an accessible and engaging summary of the most provocative and compelling conspiracy theories, harvested from the Internet's most popular web site for conspiracies, UFOs, cover-ups, government secrets and other alternative topics.
"One may be the most highly intelligent person in the world, but if he or she is operating on erroneous or incomplete information, a truthful and correct conclusion on any issue is impossible."
For over ten months, Jim Marrs became steeped in the culture of online conspiracy theorists and pulled nineteen of the most provocative and stunning topics for further examination from the Internet's largest and most popular conspiracy site, AboveTopSecret.com. The complete chapter list reads as a litany of the provocative topics that have captivated online conspiracy theorists for the past decade:

FINAL WARNING
Some of these questions deal with mysteries, which may involve science of which we are not yet aware. In the primitive past, such things would have been called magic. Today, they are more likely to be called extraterrestrial.
Some are concerned with conspiracy, a term formerly disparaged by the corporate mass media. However, since the attacks of September 11, 2001, obviously were the result of someone's conspiracy, the term has been somewhat rehabilitated.
Readers of Above Top Secret are invited to study all sides of an issue. For example, in the case of the JFK assassination, do you believe a politically-motivated commission that concluded Kennedy was shot through the neck or do you believe the official autopsy report and doctors (supported by the hole in his coat and shirt) which indicated he was struck in the back below the shoulder blade? Do you trust government pronouncements on the 1947 Roswell crash that have been changed four times or do you believe more than six hundred fellow citizens who tell a different story?
Just like members of AboveTopSecret.com, with its motto of "Deny Ignorance," readers of Above Top Secret are asked to think for themselves rather than placing their trust in others or pronouncements in the media. Marrs tackles controversial issues by asking the fundamental questions that were once taught to beginning journalism students --- Who, What, When, Where and Why. Armed with these basics and hopefully a dash of deductive reasoning, readers will be prepared to take on the world of mystery and conspiracy.
