In the second edition of American Conspiracies, former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura continues his investigative journey to prove there is more to the history of the United States and the implications of today’s political decisions than the government wants us to know.
“This book is not about how extraterrestrials are abducting human beings, or the Apollo moon landing being a colossal hoax perpetrated by NASA, or that Barack Obama somehow is not a natural-born American citizen,” says former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura about the second edition of his New York Times bestselling American Conspiracies.
“I’m writing this book because I believe it’s vital to our democracy to see the hidden pattern that’s been undermining this country for most of my lifetime.”
When it comes to secret trade deals between corporations and select government leaders such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Big Pharma and the oil industry’s influence on politicians on both sides of the aisle, or Senator Bob Graham—the man who wrote the 9/11 Commission Report—calling for a new investigation into 9/11 and Saudi Arabia’s involvement, there’s no question that there are legitimate reasons to read the new evidence presented in American Conspiracies and decide for yourself who is hiding the truth and why.
The second edition of American Conspiracies tackles the truth behind corporate and government conspiracies including:
• The American Oligarchy: Corporations run our government. The same players that damaged financial institutions and caused the stock market to plummet still have a strong hold on our future.
• September 11: Governor Ventura maintains that the George W. Bush administration knew about the plan and allowed it to proceed, or they had a hand in it themselves. New evidence presents even more unanswered questions, including how Saudi Arabia—our ally—was the primary financer and organizer of the terrorist attack.
• Stolen Elections of 2000 and 2004—and Almost 2008: As 2015 and 2016 elections draw near, here’s hard evidence that previous elections were stolen by Republican operatives by manipulating electronic voting machines in deciding states, where votes were shifted from one candidate to the other.
• DEA Involvement with Drug Cartels: Ventura reveals how our economy is secretly embedded in the global drug trade and the true reason why the “War on Drugs” will continue to be one of the government’s most expensive, purposeful failures.
• The Corporate Conspiracy to Deny Climate Change: ExxonMobil, Peabody Energy, the Koch brothers, and their brethren are involved in a propaganda campaign to hide the truth from the American people about the dangers of fossil fuels and fracking.
• America’s POWs/MIAs Purposefully Left Behind: Presidents, Pentagon officials, and intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA find it politically inconvenient to rescue our servicemen and women. More than 8,100 of our troops are unaccounted for today.
• Monsanto’s Chemical Warfare and GMOs: Unlike other countries, the United States has been reluctant to regulate GM crops or require labels. Monsanto not only has the FDA and EPA in its back pocket, but also is cornering the market, putting American farmers out of business, and hiding the fact that its chemicals cause cancer, autism, and many neurological ailments.
American Conspiracies dissects the wide gap between what the government knows and when the government reveals to the American people.
“It seems today that everything’s buried under this cloak of national security,” states Ventura. “I think it’s time to have that cloak raised up.”
