A collection of nine tasty conspiracy samplers. Read them all for an easy-to-digest, crash course in modern conspiriology.

• The 70 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time, by Jonathan Vankin and John Whalen. - Essential reading. Should be in every library and school and hotel nightstand drawer in the country.
• It's a Conspiracy! by The National Insecurity Council
• Conspiracies, Coverups, and Crimes, by Jonathan Vankin
• Everything Is Under Control, by Robert Anton Wilson
• Conspiracies, Lies, and Hidden Agendas, by Mick Farren
• Conspiranoia, by Devon Jackson
• Secret and Suppressed, edited by Jim Keith
• The Conspiracy Reader, edited by Al Hidell & Joan d'Arc
• A History of Secret Societies, by Arkon Daraul

I just rewatched Craig Baldwin's Tribulation 99 last Friday, and it is just as vital and brilliant now as when it was first released.

You may have expected to find some other 'alterna-thought' literature here that I've left out:
      ~ Apocalypse Culture, Apocalypse Culture 2, or Cult Rapture - all edited by Adam Parfrey - are missing because, frankly, they're too serial-killer groupie, autopsy-porn, freakshow for my taste. Which doesn't mean that they don't have worthwhile segments; just that I can't unreservedly recommend them.
      ~ Richard Beltzer's UFOs, JFK, and Elvis is fun, and commerically popular, but shouldn't be the only book you read on the subject - even it is the first.
      ~ Alex Constantine and most of Jim Keith's stuff also don't make it on a first-stop list, but once you've done a little brain-priming go on &, check it out.
      ~ David Icke is best left for comic relief. Grand Unified Conspiracy Field Theory as vast as it is wacky. Jim Keith, reviewing The Biggest Secret in the indispensable Fortean Times, described Icke's research methodolgy thusly; “Believe every goddamn weird thing anybody, anywhere ever said.”
      Icke in a nutshell: The Annunaki, a reptilian race driven by an insatiable need for power, has controlled the human race for millenia as part of their long-range Agenda. Virtually every important political and ruling figure ever has been descended from these shape-shifting reptiles - either full-blooded or human-reptile crossbreed. Proof? You want proof? OK, wrap your brain around this:

“The Merovingian king, Clovis, had the iris, or fleur-de-lis, as his royal emblem, a flower which grows wild in the Middle East. It is also known as a three-pronged lily and it was used to symbolise Nimrod or rather the reptilian bloodline of Nimrod. In Latin it means small sword and it became the symbol of the royal bloodline of what is now France and this was because in ancient Sumer the reptilian bloodline, as passed on through the female, was symbolised by a lily. Hence the main reptilian gene carriers were given names like Lilith, Lili, Lilutu and Lillette. Another version is Lilibet or Elizabeth and this is why the present British Queen is called Elizabeth (El-lizard-birth) and was known to her family circle as Lilibet. She is a major reptilian gene carrier who produced a major reptilian full-blood called Prince Charles. Both are shape-shifting reptiles...” etc.

I'll be adding lists of books on specific topics later.
