People who read this blog have probably noted a change in the material I have reviewed lately. Recent subjects include: permaculture, radicalism in the 1970’s, pre-history revisionism, and yes, Bigfoot. The fact is, I am in a political burn-out mode and needed some breathing room with off-beat subject matter. Rarely do I read fiction, but […]
As the plague season rolls on, my reading has (as a matter of sanity) drifted from hard-core political filth to more esoteric subjects. They have been quite a welcome distraction. For instance, I recently reviewed “Daydream Sunset” by Ron Jacobs, about counterculture in the 1970’s. (All reviews can be found at https://www.covertbookreport.com/ ) Then we […]
Review: “Breath” by James Nestor Every now and then I come across a book that I claim is the most important book I have read this year. Of course, I sometimes say that two or three times a year. However, one such book is “Breath – The New Science Of A Lost Art”, by James […]
In an effort to get a little distance from hardcore politics and history, I recently reviewed a book on the counterculture in the ’70’s and a great book on Bigfoot. Now comes a book on government research into antigravity and the “flying saucer” phenomenon. “The Hunt For Zero Point – Inside The Classified World Of […]
Review: “Daydream Sunset” By Ron Jacobs Ah, the 1970’s. Been there for sure, it’s when I had my first alcohol, first car, first real girlfriend… It seemed like the 1970’s hit a pause button. Radicals and activists had paved the way in civil rights, women’s rights, environmental issues, and the war in Vietnam stumbled to […]
I’ve been interested in “Bigfoot” since I was a kid and saw the Patterson-Gimlin film of a female Bigfoot casually walking by a creek. In fact, deep in Oregon’s coast range my friend and I were screamed at repeatedly by a large animal – but more on that later. So of course I began to […]
By John Titus 1969 was a clear turning point in American society. Opposition to the Vietnam war was at an all-time high, the civil rights movement was rolling, and activists were presenting a new vision of human interaction that was an existential threat to the conservative establishment. The year before, both Robert Kennedy and Martin […]
Years ago I went with a family member to see their heart surgeon. He told us that “Everything they taught him in medical school about diet was wrong”. Now we have further proof, in a recent book called “The Longevity Solution – Rediscovering Centuries-Old Secrets to a Healthy, Long Life”. This book, written by Dr. […]
I remember June 6th 1968 very well. It was my younger brother’s birthday, bright and sunny. My parents had intentionally left the morning paper where I could see it, and the banner headline announced that Senator Robert Kennedy had been killed. It was a familiar feeling as I recalled when President John Kennedy was shot, […]
Author Joseph Green has written some great analysis of one of the most famous conspiracy movies ever; “The Parallax View”, starring Warren Beatty. “The Parallax View” pulls the curtain back on one of the most secret programs developed by psychologists working for intelligence agencies; the program to create a “Manchurian Candidate”. That is, a program […]
