Review: Selected by extraterrestrial My life in the secret world of UFOs, think-tanks and Nordic secretaries by William Mills Tompkins

5 Star, Intelligence (Extra-Terrestrial)

SUMMARY AND REVIEW

William Mills Tompkins (Author), Robert M. Wood (Editor, Introduction), Nick Redfern (Editor), Selected by Extraterrestrials: My life in the top secret world of UFOs, think-tanks and Nordic secretaries (Amazon CreateSpace, 2015).

4 Stars – Clearly a Great Deal to Offer But Too Scattered

Reviewed by Robert David Steele

UPDATE: See two videos by Kerry Cassidy below. Author — not book — rises to five stars for authenticity, integrity, and shared knowledge.

Although this book comes very highly recommended, and is one of the “foundation” books for those who claim we have a secret space fleet already in existence and have had anti-gravity propulsion and anti-aging technologies among many others for decades, it is simply not coherent enough, not well-documented enough, and not well-written enough to make it to five stars.

Review: To Catch a Spy – The Art of Counterintelligence

5 Star, Intelligence (Government/Secret)

James M. Olson

5 Star Indictment of US Counterintelligence

Despite this book being a decade late (the author left CIA in 1998) and somewhat lacking in deep specifics, I have to give it five stars because my own personal experience suggests that the author's gracious indictment of US counterintelligence is so desperately needed that it would be a crime to diminish this book. It's central message is sound: counterintelligence is vital and the USA stinks at counterintelligence.

Review: Augmented Intelligence – Smart Systems and the Future of Work and Learning

5 Star, Economics, Information Operations, Information Society, Information Technology, Intelligence (Government/Secret), Intelligence (Public)

Daniel Araya (editor)

5 Stars Best Available Overview, Most “Experts” Still in Denial

Augmented Intelligence is the new meme that goes beyond Collective Intelligence. The editor has done the best possible job of collecting inputs from top people, a few of whom I know such as Jim Spohrer, and I recommend the book without reservation. Certainly it is my hope that the editor will be recognized as a rising star and given the freedom to do more outreach to include travel including China, toward what I hope will be a more multinational follow-on book.

Ed Jewett: Recommended Reading — A Lie Too Big to Fail – The Real History of the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy by Lisa Pease

5 Star, Atrocities & Genocide, Censorship & Denial of Access, Corruption, Crime (Government), Justice (Failure, Reform), Misinformation & Propaganda, Power (Pathologies & Utilization)
Amazon Page

In A Lie Too Big to Fail, longtime Kennedy researcher (of both JFK and RFK) Lisa Pease lays out, in meticulous detail, how witnesses with evidence of conspiracy were silenced by the Los Angeles Police Department; how evidence was deliberately altered and, in some instances, destroyed; and how the justice system and the media failed to present the truth of the case to the public. Pease reveals how the trial was essentially a sham, and how the prosecution did not dare to follow where the evidence led.

A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude.

Parag Khanna

5 Stars – Utterly brilliant insights and data, but publisher should have invested in graphics to match

Parag Khanna is for me the single best observer and reporter on the substance of Asia which he takes great pains to point out is not just China (a third of Asia’s population) but includes particularly vast swaths of Russia, India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia including Indonesia and Australia, and Turkey.

Review: Let Me Finish -Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics by Chris Christie

5 Star, Executive (Partisan Failure, Reform)

5 stars – Bottom Line: Kushner Sabotaged Trump’s First Two Years

I put this book down feeling that I had learned a great deal about how to get ready to be President; a great deal about how easy it is to derail a Presidential transition and the first two years of any presidency; and a great deal about Chris Christie as a serious patriot who should be brought back by President to help him finish the job.  A good title.

This book exudes integrity. Chris Christie is the real deal.

Review: Team of Vipers – My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House by Cliff Sims

5 Star, Executive (Partisan Failure, Reform)
Amazon Page

5 Stars – Authentic – Honors the President While Exposing All Who Would Betray the President

President Donald Trump has a right to be angry about this book because it violates a non-disclosure agreement signed by the author. However, I am quite certain the President has not actually read the book or he would realize that the author treats him with honor and respect while revealing a great deal the President may not actually know, about how everyone in the White House, including his executive secretary provided by the Republican National Committee (RNC), is stabbing him in the back.
