Israel Shahak is an Israeli Jew whose family lived in a Jewish ghetto in Poland for generations. Prof. Shahak survived the Holocaust and elected to settle in Israel where he lived out his life. Prof. Shahak, together with historian Ilan Pappe ("The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine") and prof. Shlomo Sand ("The Invention of the Jewish People") are smart, progressive, well-educated members of Israeli academia who understand that the present course of Israeli politics is untenable.

Jewish History, Jewish Religion demonstrates how the secular state of Israel has been and is being shaped by religious orthodoxy. The last sentence of Shahak's book reads: "Although the struggle against antisemitism (and of all other forms of racism) should never cease, the struggle against Jewish chauvinism and exclusivism, which must include a critique of classical Judaism, is now of equal or greater importance."

John Anthony West has done the world an enormous service with this bold, well written, and engaging book. He extends the work of Alsatian philosopher and mathematician, R.A, Schwaller de Lubicz, making it not only comprehensible to the lay reader but also one of the most plausible explanations for the grandeur and magnificence of ancient Egyptian culture.

West is anything but a New Age flake and he takes some fairly tough-minded positions on the absurdities of modern scholarship. Yet he has the advantage over most orthodox Egyptologists in that he can (a) write — and write superbly — and (b) he has a sense of humor, which makes even his most vitriolic attacks on those who persist in ascribing the monuments of Egypt to a race of egomaniacal barbarians, the work of a rational giant in a world of Lilliputians.

His grasp of the entire sweep of Egyptian history is extraordinary, and his ability to render even the most complex accounts of Pythagorean geometry or symbolism in the hieroglyphs is something every would-be academic should take notes on. Besides all this, the book is beautifully illustrated on every page.

A fascinating, impeccably sourced examination of the secretive cabals, family bloodlines, corporate offshoots, and alphabet government organizations, which serve as ideological 'hidden hand' think tanks determining and shaping the course of global and cultural shifts. Why the secrecy, the grand deceptions, the calculated slaughter, and blatant discrepancies of power between haves and have-nots? Did the devil indeed make them do it?

The fact that such secret societies with uncanny, ancient connections exist is easily provable; the real mystery is just how much influence and impact they have on foreign and domestic policymaking? Which is to ask, is the bulk of our perceptions regarding government, its public relations media apparatus, and deregulation policies, banking, and the private Federal Reserve System, international corporations, the military-industrial complex, that is, the daily round of life as we know it, truly as the reputable analysis of Establishment dissidents like Chomsky and Zinn have demonstrated? 

Marrs' book digs in and lays it all out. 

Other books that support/corroborate the information in this book are "Trance-Formation of America" by Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips and "The Biggest Secret" by David Icke, though both may challenge your comfort zone even more than this one.

Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins is an excellent book, easy to read, and most fascinating. It is fast becoming apparent that there are outside forces working against the peace and tranquility that we as a civilization strive for. Arthur David Horn, a Yale-educated man who taught evolution for over a decade at CSU, courageously addresses what may be the most pressing problem of our time.

This book should be read by anyone with an open mind who is also interested in the true origins of mankind.
