Okay, I have a rather, uh, massive stack of books here. I was started out—this started out as a top five books, and then it grew into top 10, and then to 20. And then I realized, you know, I got to shut this down because 20 is probably more than you guys are going to want to hear about anyway. But, um, these are 20 of my most expensive books. And I don't say this as some kind of weird financial flex or anything like that. A lot of these were purchased with, uh, my Amazon points that I got from using my, uh, Amazon card for business. And then I use those points to score some, uh, books that would have normally been out of my price range. So, uh, some of these I remember what I paid for them, and I'll tell you that, and you can look up some of these to see where they're at now. But, uh, I mainly do this as a way to illustrate how the pricing of a book is—can easily be a form of censorship.
And I think there are several books in this pile that are out of print for various reasons. And sometimes I think it's as simple as, uh, the author realized they had stepped into something they didn't really want to. I've actually been in personal correspondence with a couple of different authors that told me in—no uncertain terms—that, uh, yes, they wrote book X, uh, but it caused them so much problem—so many problems—that, uh, they realized they were stepping into something that was, uh, not something they wanted to deal with, and they backed away from it. And then there's other times when you might have a fairly naive publisher that publishes some information and then realizes the implications of that once it's too late, uh, to withdraw that book from circulation, and then they just vow to never publish a book like that again. So anyway, without further ado, let's jump right in. Now I'm going to start with one, um, that I reviewed a long time ago. But, um, this is one that I searched—because I searched this one down because I heard some of this guy's sermons on YouTube. This is, uh, *The Todd Phenomenon* by Daryl Hicks and David Lewis. And Daryl is spelled with two Rs there. But, uh, I haven't even looked this one up recently to see what it's going for, but I think at the time I paid close to a hundred bucks for this. And this is all about Johnny Todd, and he claimed that he was like a Wiccan or, uh, what—what do you claim he was—ex-Grand Druid versus the Illuminati. And the funny thing about this book is this book is actually kind of making fun of him and trying to debunk him and knock the legs out from under him.
Now, I am not a Johnny Todd purist. I don't—I don't, you know, hang my entire belief system or anything off of Johnny Todd, but I do find it very interesting that these guys wrote an entire book to discredit this guy who was going—going around lecturing at churches about the influence of the occult in music and how that worked and all. And these guys wrote this book debunking it, and in a way it kind of backfires because some of the guys that they, uh, he was implicating a lot of high-level, uh, evangelical pastors in, uh, that said they were kind of in on all this, and they were saying, "Oh, that's crazy." But some of these guys, of course, wound up embroiled in a variety of scandals, thus proving his point. And this was originally published in first and only edition from 1979, so it was fascinating for that alone. I got this book mainly because I—I heard a couple of his sermons, and some of his stuff is pretty whack—pretty crazy—but a lot of it also dovetailed with a lot of other stuff that I've talked about on this channel. So I thought, you know, I wonder if there's anything on this guy, and all I could find was this book debunking him, and it was going for a small, uh, small chunk of change there. So anyway, now moving right along.
I mentioned this one in a—um—I think I mentioned this in a previous top 10. This is *The Six-Pointed Star* by O.J. Graham. And this one is—you can—it's out there; you can still get it. I think, as of last time I checked, it was going for about 300 bucks, which is crazy because it's a very simple little book, and it's all about the hex and its origins and how it is not related in any way to, uh, Mosaic law or Judaism or anything, um, that it is strictly an occult symbol and, um, explains the connection to Rimphan and, uh, Molech and all that. So, um, kind of curious that this book would go for so much. And I think when I originally got this, I, you know, for a little paperback book, I—I might have paid like 20 or 30 bucks, which I thought was a little crazy at the time. And it's like buying gold and silver coins; it just keeps going up in price. Now this is one that I got because I saw it referenced in another book, and this is another one that just keeps going up in price, and you're—this is shouldn't be anything crazy except for one chapter. This is *Hypnotism* by George H. Esther Brooks. And Esther Brooks was a, um, a hypnotist and kind of a mind scientist that was, um, involved with the OSS during World War II. And he has a whole chapter in here on the military applications of hypnosis and explains how you could use hypnosis to create, uh, what I think he refers to them as like a super spy. So, um, that's worth the price of the book for getting that right there. Um, I'm sure this is probably around on a PDF or something, but yeah, this is a very—if you go through Amazon, it is an expensive book. But this is another one of those gems. Sometimes you can find half-price books on the cheap.
So now, MyAbs or Milabs—this is one I hadn't looked it up right before I filmed this. This is one that's like buying, uh, Bitcoin; goes up and down and all over the place. But this is by a German couple who were looking into covert operations and a lot of weird military connections to the UFO phenomenon and more specifically military abductions of people that then those people would remember as, uh, alien abductions—hence the term Milabs or MyAbs or however you want to pronounce that. And very fascinating look into, uh, the phenomenon of military abductions and how many abductions have a military component to them, um, rather than just aliens and UFOs. And, uh, overall, he takes a very—very much a, uh, kind of an agnostic stance towards aliens. He includes some stuff about aliens in here, but it's more of a big-picture view of this. And this is the only book this couple has written in English, uh, they actually have a couple of other books, but they're only in German. So, uh, I have one of them, but I don't read German, so I don't—I can't comment on it, but I'm keeping it around just in case, um, somebody can help me with that.
Now this, of course, many of you are familiar with this. This is *Children for the Devil*. Um, oh, and by the way, I should say I got this—I special ordered this through Barnes & Noble in like 2000. And no sooner did I get it, it was almost impossible to get your hands on. And, um, I think at one point it was going for several hundred on Amazon. Okay, so moving right along. This is *Children for the Devil* by Tim Tate. And *Children for the Devil* is an exposé on the problem of ritual abuse. This was written in, I believe, '91, and this was retracted by the publisher, uh, because a police officer that's mentioned in this said there was one sentence that could be construed, uh, that put—could be construed in a way that put him in a negative light. And based on that, and the publisher didn't want to fight this, so they retracted it. So according to Tim Tate—I've heard some interviews with him where he says, um, it wasn't up to him; it was the publisher—they retracted it. So there's only a few copies that are actually floating around that you can actually get. This is one you can find, uh, PDF files of it, um, but, uh, excellent book on—has really good section on the McMartin case—a lot of good case specifics, uh, both U.S. ritual abuse cases as well as, uh, British cases. Excellent stuff in here, but very hard to get. And I think when I bought this, I think I paid about a hundred bucks for it, and it's another one that just goes up and up and up and up.
So now this is another one that I actually drove all the way to New Mexico—the land of enchantment—to get this book. And I think this might be signed—yes, it is—it is signed by the author, Greg Valdez, who was the son of the late Gabe Valdez. And Gabe Valdez was a state police officer who investigated, uh, a lot of the cattle mutilations back in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. And he became part of NIDS—the National Institute for Discovery Sciences—if I remember right—in the late 90s, doing further research under a private contract. And fascinating look into—if you've ever heard about Dulce, New Mexico, and the whole underground base at Dulce—this is a great book on this. This cuts through a lot of the myth about that. And, according to his son and according to Gabe Valdez himself, this was a very much a, uh, probably research into biological warfare and psychological warfare being done, um, using the local communities as test subjects is the general idea. But excellent book, but very difficult to get a hard copy. But I did look it up earlier today, and that's one of the reasons I got this stack going—someone had commented on the review on this said they wanted to get a copy. And you can still get a Kindle version of this for about 10 bucks. And one time I was up in Chama, New Mexico, and there was a little gift shop there; they had a whole stack of these, and they were selling them for like 15, 16 bucks each. So, uh, obviously they hadn't checked Amazon recently. But, um, there are some hard copies around there somewhere. And the sad thing is there used to be a website that he ran that had even more evidence to back up a lot of his claims, and that website has since gone down.
Now this is an interesting one on ancient history of kind of forbidden archaeology. This is *Ancient Structures: Remarkable Pyramids, Forts, Towers, Stone Chambers, Cities and Complexes*. And this is one that I scored at Half-Price Books that was back behind the, uh, cash register. And those of you saw in the member section where I was posting my little recipe for how I—um—how I navigate, uh, Half-Price Books—this is why you don't ignore some of the books behind the register because, um, a lot of Half-Price Books locations will have the really expensive stuff, um, behind the cash registers, and you don't see them until you're about to check out. So sometimes I just go over there and say, "Hey, can I look at some of those books?" And this is just mainly overall pretty basic stuff about, um, ancient forbidden archaeology. But it's all about stuff that was discovered that's not—there's certain veins of archaeology that—like a lot of the stuff I talk about on this channel—that's, uh, kind of a forbidden thing if you go against official narratives of who was occupying the North American continent, um, a lot of that gets shut down. So, um, this is *Microwave Auditory Effects and Applications*. And it is originally, I think from like '78 or so, by James C. Lynn, PhD. And yeah, from 1978. This one I picked up for probably 30 bucks or 40 bucks or so. And then when I reviewed it, one of you went and looked for this book because you were curious about it, and you pointed out that this book was going for about $1,000. I don't know what it's going for now, but this is another one that just fluctuates all over the place. And this, dear viewers, this is why I'm doing this, so my children someday—maybe they can pull up these videos and, uh, not get fleeced by, um, you know, an estate sale or something—somebody going, "Oh, it's just a bunch of books; I'll give you a hundred bucks for them." So hopefully my children—if you're watching this, future children—uh, make sure you get market value for these books. But *Microwave Auditory Effects and Applications* is all about the discovery and the use of what's called the Frey effect to create hearing inside someone's head where, uh, you can modulate microwaves beamed at someone's audio cortex and actually make them hear voices in their head, which is crazy stuff with some pretty dark implications. So, um, you know.
Then there is *Man the Puppet*. Now this is one of the few books I'm going to show you in the stack that kind of went the other direction. This—I bought for—actually, I think my wife got this for me for my birthday in 2012 or '13. And this is *Man the Puppet* by Abram Lipsky. And this is all about—this is from 1924, I believe, so this is right at a little over a hundred years old. Oh no, 1925, so it is right at 100 years old. And this is all about manipulating human behavior, um, through print media at the time, but just the way social movements work and how they can be manipulated. And really fascinating stuff. And this is definitely written not from a perspective of like you and I of critically analyzing this; this is written from someone saying, "Hey, this is how you do this." This is written kind of an insider publication. And the, uh, this—this, uh, I believe is now reprinted; you can get a reprinted version of this, uh, for probably fairly cheap. But an original like this—these are—are very rare. So *Man the Puppet*.
Now this is one—some of you have asked about, um, mind control, uh, personal accounts of mind control—like Kathy O'Brien's, uh, book, *Transformation*. I think I've got that over here in a stack somewhere. Um, this is *A Nation Betrayed* by Carol Ruts. And this was one of the harder, um, personal accounts of a—mind control victim to get my hands on. And this one—and was actually signed by the author here. So, um, fascinating, heartbreaking story of a child, uh, groomed and brought into a mind control program, I believe all the way back in the 50s, and her personal story of that. And I don't know if she is still alive or not, but it's secret Cold War experiments performed—performed on our children and other innocent people. But, uh, all these personal accounts like this are heartbreaking to read, uh, I think they're necessary. I think this is a good window into a lot of what the alphabet agencies do, uh, to human subjects. But, uh, it's—it's pretty grim reading. But I think this is one that was—um—I'm sure when it came out originally was probably like 20 bucks or so, um, I don't see it—yeah, 1995 originally. But I think I got this for right around $100. And this is another one that just goes crazy sometimes.
And then, of course, we have the, uh, infamous—*Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment*? This one, um, I don't know if this has been reprinted or not, but this one I might have come down a little bit in price, but I think when I got this one it was about $300. But this is a great breakdown of Jonestown—very dense read—a lot of information. This is one of those that obviously it's very speculative about Jonestown and some of the stuff that may or may not have been going on there. Um, I think he gets a lot of stuff right; I think a lot of his speculation is valuable in its own right, um, but a lot of this stuff is—there's a giant question mark over it because we just don't know a lot of that stuff. But, uh, fascinating book on Jonestown. And this is probably the most comprehensive book on Jonestown from the perspective of, um, you know, someone who really critically dissected the entire official story.
And now we have, uh, *Satanic Ritual Abuse: A Therapist's Handbook* by D. Brown: *How to Work Effectively with the Multiple Personalities of Ritual Abuse Survivors*. And this is one I was kind of surprised—I looked this up because I'm always curious about, uh, uh, some of these books and and some of the current reviews on some of these books and who else has, um, maybe some other take on some of these. And, uh, looked this up, and this was going for a small chunk of change. So, um, overall pretty straightforward book about ritual abuse and including children's drawings—some of their personal experiences—again, heartbreaking stuff, but important in understanding the whole problem of ritual abuse. And while we're on the subject, here is, of course, kind of the holy grail of, uh, ritual abuse books. This is *Cover Up of the Century* by Daniel Ryder. And just before this video, I went ahead and looked this up because I was kind of curious what it's going for. I paid about a hundred bucks for this, and at the time I was like, "Man, I—I hope this book is—is not just a complete bust because, you know, 100 bucks for a book is a lot." I bought this back when, uh, uh, I first started really digging into this stuff, and I was like, "Oh please, oh please don't be disappointing, uh, because sometimes you—you know, books—books can be expensive for different reasons; it doesn't necessarily mean a book is true because it's expensive." So, but this one is really good, and this one has a lot of good, uh, case specifics on ritual abuse cases, uh, across the country and just itemized, um, so good resource for that alone. But, um, um, anyway, good—good re—good good resource about ritual abuse. And just—I think this was printed in 1994, and it gets into also the—the potential for—and I think this might be why this book is so rare—is it gets into the potential for how this ritual abuse and that kind of mind control, uh, monkeying with people's heads would be a way to insert people into, um, elite positions by way of, uh, doing stuff to them in a daycare, then 20 years on you could reactivate somebody in another position. And that sounds kind of nuts until you think about most of these daycare scandals occurred in very well-to-do areas where these ritual abuse daycare things happened, and then those people who would now be like close to my age would now be in possibly positions of government. Nikki Haley is actually one person who, um, disclosed at some point that she had, uh, something had happened to her in a daycare setting, and that's when this book popped up, and I was like, "Holy cow, maybe there's something to that."
And of course, this is one that I also, uh, mentioned the other day. This is *Behind the Balfour Declaration* by Robert John. And this is all about the Balfour Declaration—really quick book. I picked this up at a used bookstore in Oklahoma City, and I was pleasantly surprised. I took it back to the hotel and read almost the whole thing almost immediately. It's just the history of the Balfour Declaration. And overall, I didn't think anything too crazy—I mean, I knew about the Balfour Declaration—um, that is what laid the—the, uh, political foundation for modern-day political Israel. And, um, I didn't think anything too crazy about it other than just—it's definitely one of those episodes of history that a lot of people just don't know about. And this is one—then I looked it up; it's—it's kind of an expensive book now.
Um, and then, of course, this is another—another, uh, kind of holy grail in my collection. This is *Operation Mind Control: The Researcher's Edition*. And now I think you can find this—and I did a video in the member section about this—you can find, uh, a reprint of this now, I think through—I'm not sure if it's Adventures Unlimited or Feral House or one of those. But if you look up *Operation Mind Control*, um, there's, uh, I think that Applewhite guy's face—that wild-eyed stare he's got on the cover of it. And I think you can actually get it for like 40 or 50 bucks now, um, but this is a comprehensive book on, uh, mind control and everything about it—everything up to the year about 1994-95 when this was printed. And interesting how this was done—this Walter Bowart was the one who originally printed *Operation Mind Control* back in the 70s. And the way he did this was—this—in the early days of the internet—and he did it where you could get authorization from him; he would send you like a signed deal that you were authorized to print this, and you could go to like a Kinko's copy shop, and they would—he would send them the file, and you could print off this massive volume here. Excellent information in here if you're a serious student of, you know, alphabet agency mind control programs and all—definitely a—a good one.
And we're almost done here, and I've lost count of even how many books I've done here. But, um, this is *UFOs: The Grand Deception and the Coming New World Order* by Norio Hayakawa. This is an expensive one, and this one probably could be reprinted, uh, but Norio Hayakawa is a UFO researcher out of New Mexico and, uh, has produced some pretty good stuff. But he's kind of done an about-face on some of this and retracted some of that. And I think that's why this is so rare now because I think a lot of this—when, um, *Behold a Pale Horse*—I'm trying to think of the author's name of that, uh, uh, of that book—it's—I'm glitching out—but when that gentleman was shot by the—the—I think the state police or the FBI or something in Arizona in 2001 after September 11th, um, I think a lot of researchers like—like Norio here, uh, kind of got their mind right and stepped away from some of this research and were like, "Oh, William Cooper—that's his name—of *Behold a Pale Horse*." Um, when he was shot, um, a lot of—lot of people backed away from their research. So.
And then, of course, we have the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. This is another one that's—I didn't think it was anything too crazy, and then somebody pointed out the other day that it's going for a small mint, um, but this is *Shaping the Moral, Spiritual, Cultural, Political, and Economic Decline of the United States of America*. And this is all about the Tavistock Institute and its role in shaping popular culture through music and all kinds of things. So, um, fascinating book, but definitely one—when I got it, I didn't think it was that groundbreaking—to, uh, to be that rare now. Um, let's see, I got a just a few more, so bear with me here. This is *Secret German Weapons of World War II* by Rudolph Lucar. I think if you can see that there—it doesn't have a, um, cover. I have to be really careful with this. This one is rare because it's all about secret weapons of the—of the Germans. And, um, this is one of the earliest books that I found that talks about—and I'm going to see if I can find it to show you here—that of course there's all kinds of—of crazy weaponry—some of stuff you may have heard about—some stuff you probably haven't—but the most probably radical thing in here is the, uh, inclusion of disc-shaped aircraft in here. And here we have several—there's a whole section on flying disc aircraft and then firsthand reports of people who saw these things fly. [Music] Um, that's the whole area of UFOs as secret, uh, aircraft is a fascinating area of research. So. And if you're new to the channel, I'll put some links at the end of this—on the end screen for you.
Then, of course, we have—in kind of in that same vein, um, we have *The Controllers* by Martin Cannon. And this was a manuscript that was printed out; it's just like 70 pages or so—70—no, I guess about a little over 80 pages. Excellent work on mind control, and his thesis that he put out—I think he printed this out in the like late 80s, early 90s—his whole thesis was, uh, that when he started digging into mind control—ca—not mind control—excuse me—um, UFO abduction cases, he started seeing all these parallels between UFO abductions and mind control and realized that a lot of UFO abduction stories…
May be actually, actually the practical use of a lot of this mind control technology, using the UFO, uh, mythology, or however you want to say it, as a cover for that. So fascinating, u, fascinating read. And Martin Cannon is one that has also kind of politely stepped away from his original work, um, and I'm not sure where he stands on now, if he's totally divorced. I know for a while he basically said, "I don't want anything to do with it; I don't believe that anymore," um, which is an odd thing to say because it's it's kind of like, you know, discovering oil or something; you can't undiscover it. It's like once you know that that's there, it's kind of hard not to know about it.
But, uh, last but not least, we have UFOs in the New World Order. And this is one that, uh, I think again, for a little paperback was like a hundred bucks, and I was like, "Man," but again, thanks to Amazon points, I was able to buy this with a clear conscience. And, um, this is another fascinating read, kind of in the vein of Martin Cannon's work, about the political implications of UFOs and this high technology possibly being used to manipulate the public and use it to create new belief systems and, more importantly, um, bring everyone into this kind of world, one world government, through the use of this high technology. Um, so fascinating, um, breakdown of that by Michael, uh, Lindamman. And I have a couple of his other books, but this is definitely the hardest to get.
Um, and overall, it was it was good; it was well worth it. I bought this and it came in just in time to go on vacation, and uh, good stuff in here. Um, again, it's like there's a few things that, uh, are somewhat dated in some of his conclusions, but I think still, um, I think he it's more of a cautionary book than anything else. He's not laying down any hard, like big reveal at the end of, "Hey, and then now I figured out X, Y, and Z." It's more like, "We need to be on the guard against the potential for misuse of this phenomenon." So, um, anyway, so there you go. That is 20 very expensive, um, strangely expensive books—strange and expensive, interesting books. I actually have—I think the most I ever paid for a book is one of my magic books, uh, performance magic, not, you know, magic with a K, Damen Eckles magic—um, is magic. It's called just simply *Magic*, by Robert Harbin. And there were only five of them printed, and back when I had my own, uh, shop and uh, business was good, I treated myself to a copy of that book, uh, and I think it was $1,300 to get a copy of that.
But I don't really think it fits into this stuff, since I doubt that that was one of those that by having that book you got the performance rights to the material in that book. And then, of course, Robert Harbon had, uh, passed away I think in the late 70s, so he ain't going to be publishing any more of those books. Um, so anyway, I'll stop there, but thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed that. That's, uh, again, slightly different than, um, some of my other books, and I thought some of you might appreciate that, just because it's kind of a wide spectrum. And for those of you new to some of these subject areas, that might give you some little breadcrumbs to follow, some different directions than you might have thought about before. So again, thanks for watching, and thanks for supporting the channel.
